The politics is like a TV show. And TV shows are like politics; we have all this discussions about moving timeslots, FOX ordering episodes and holding some in reserve; producers passing secrets notes to each other. Episodes being postponed for sporting events, that week where they show all the "best" stuff cos that's when the advertisers are watching, reruns of the episode that was shown 3 weeks ago so you never know quite what you're going to get.
It would be much easier if they made a series and aired it - 1 per week until finished. Then, if people liked it, rinse and repeat.
The IIS isn't very big though. You can't take 1000 people there at $10000 a head. NASA would need to find, say, 10 people willing to pay $1000000, and they're a much more rare.
According to my calculations, all that means I am going to meet a tall, dark stranger tomorrow and then go on a long journey. I hope it is to somewhere nice!
Banks are trustworthy institutions. Given that corporations want information and will do anything to get it; I would prefer that by my bank distributes accurate information in a documented way.
In the current system, information is inferred and, it seems, simply made up. Why else wouyld we receive the totally irrelevent advertising that we do today? Some insignificant database somewhere has me listed as the wrong age, the wrong gender and with the wrong interests. At the moment this leads to me receiving catalogues for products I am not interested in (cosmetics, mainly, this month). For now, I can recycle these, but what if this information propogated and ended up somewhere important. I don't want the IRS, for example, kicking down my door claiming I've been lying on my tax returns just because they've got information that I am 40 years older than I really am.
It is unwise to release beta and RC builds under an open licence. As has been seen with many other projects, the code gets branched at that point and progress towards and stable and bug-free final release is hindered. Not through maliciousness, but because of the tendency for people to tinker with the source and not pass the fixes back to the original source.
Beta software should be released under a restrictive license. People cannot distribute modified copies. Nor should people be allowed to distribute anything other than the officially released binaries (if they exist).
This would force bugfixes back into the main branch, maintained by the original creators, so the final software is as perfect as possible and bugs don't persist for ever in beta-quality forks.

The chip has 2 cores. 1 is used for 1 cycle, the other for the next.
Thus the transistor switching rate limitation is overcome and you appear to have a dual-processor machine (aka hyperthreading).
The best of both worlds!
