we're talking about 2 different things here. The tuition price comment was a joke- everyone knows students at Princeton, RPI, etc can afford another few billion added to their debtload:)
What I'm asking to pay for is a higher quality recording than is available from audio CD or mp3. The recording industry has high quality masters for practically all recorded songs, and the RIAA has more choices than just (1) Dying from piracy, or (2) turning against its customers. I'll buy higher quality recordings (yeah, even with DRM) for the same reason you, (or that guy down the street) has an two thousand dollar turntable-- I like the way it sounds.
The recording industry is losing (has lost) its main distribution channel to a much more efficient one.
Tuition's high enough these days--there's no need for RIAA to go after these kids' with lasers strapped to their lawyers' heads... I wouldn't mind paying for SACD-quality recordings, if only I could buy them easily and efficiently (read: online, one click at a time).
I disagree with the author's claim that this "fixes what's broken" in an alzheimer's patient.
From what I can tell, the shunt drains excess cerebrospinal fluid, which prevents (harmful) protein deposition. However it doesn't restore a healthy equilibrium of CSF production and consumption.
that's fine for n-way servers, but the high-end workstation market may benefit from a 64bit cpu. there are already plenty of dual Itanium 'stations available for $10k and up. I bet AMD will undercut Intel's price for 64bit CPU by a lot.
Has anyone heard of commodity motherboards for this chip/chipset? It's great that Sun and AMD are together on this, but I'm itching to build a box myself:)
c'mon, this is hardly a threat to the gas clouds' well being.
gravitational lensing is as close to a passive process as you'll find-- we just sit back and watch what's "bent out of shape" by a distant object.
Gene swapping is common among strains of bacteria (and several other microscopic buggers that undergo asexual reproduction), but not in eukaryotic or multicellular critters.
Here's a brief discussion of the process

someone tell me the data is public domain... anyone?
Yeah it was 1983...yeah it was on the Commodore, but who needs more than 64k anyway?
Now 128kBps (kiloBYTES per second) is cookin'!
tasty!

no backlight necessary if you play outdoors in the natural light. get some sun!
Though the Microsoft tax has been levied on the system, you won't be adding to MS's coffers, and can get a jolly good 3 pounder for a grand or so.

Here is a discussion of how PN-junctions absorb electrons directly from a beta-emitter embedded in a semi chip.
