As for this particular 'research', if the 'researcher' could make a good business case for it working and making financial sense then plenty of people would be eager to throw money at them. When they have to go to the government for taxpayers money that's pretty good evidence that there is no such case that makes any sense.
Exactly. Real Research does not come with a guarantee of a payoff. You may have worked in R&D devisions, but they do not do Bell Labs, Xerox PARC levels of research. These days only short term payoff kinds of research are done privately. Thanks for proving the GPs point for him.
Fission is not something the free market will invest in. They never have. So far it has taken government backed loans and government provided insurance just to get the plants we have. I think it is a great source of power, but he free market seem to disagree.
They only carry $375 Million in insurance on the plants and the Price-Anderson act covers over that. This act is so anti-free market that it moves civil suits to federal jurisdiction and no claimant can get punitive damages.
1. Same thing people do with the Koran. 2. Killing people is killing people. So murdering people in the future for not believing in your god is ok, but doing it now is not?
A bombing is a bombing. Just because they do it less often does not mean they don't do it. I like how you slipped extremists in there, No True Scotsman, aye?
The money is for the entertainment, if it has ads I will spend it on something that does not. Also cable channels used to not have ads, but suckers like you let them get away with it now.
I do what I reasonably can to avoid advertising, like blocking ads in my browsers and not paying for cable.
There is a difference between selling your company to another one and selling it to Oracle. This would be like selling your gefilte fish factory to Hitler.

On Number 5 that depends on where you live. If you drive it in the winter in WNY it will rust out.

1. Of course. and Christians are not infidels anyway.
2. I bet a Muslim would disagree. You probably just know more Christian theologians.
Damn.
I have FIOS so at 25/25 a 250GB limit is laughably low.
Only on 3G and other wireless connections.
DVDs are read only?
Since when? I have a stack of a 100 blanks here that says different.
1. lets see some statistics on that
2. the police would not bother with that.
1. Same thing people do with the Koran.
2. Killing people is killing people. So murdering people in the future for not believing in your god is ok, but doing it now is not?
So who really did it?
I can't wait to hear this.

Timothy McVeigh was not a terrorist?

"But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them - bring them here and kill them in front of me."
Some people like oppressive dictators.
Some are fighting to keep that asshole in power.
To be fair you do say that "Christianity has done it again" when they blow up abortion clincs right?
Whats sauce for the goose...
1. you buy a bunch of drives at once.
2. As you said Amanda uses tar. You are still using tar. Bacula does indeed rock if you own a library.
Yup, I stopped iRobot at the shoe scene.
Pretty terrible sense of humor you have.

Too slow. For a home user drive to drive is a better solution.
That poster is not counting the value of good backups to a business.
From their site:
ESPN3 is available nationwide, but you must subscribe to a participating high speed internet service provider.
Talk about failing to understand the internet.
Oracle failed to read the license I think.
RedHat, please fork ksplice today.
Actually that makes them far more useful.
I have had the opposite experience. Our anecdotes therefore cancel out.
Hell, when I had cable I would have given up ESPN if it saved me $0.25/month.
Simple fact; I and many like me will not pay for entertainment and watch advertising. One or the other.
