Of course shareholders will reinvest the money, but if money is flowing out of a country then less money is spent on wages for workers. There are conservation laws here.
They could patent everything, but for that they must disclose the technology, and it is no longer secret. No reverse engineering needed - just go grab a copy of the patent application. Clearly they do patent many things. Still, it stands to reason that they some parts of a technology will be kept as trade secrets at least for some period of time.

The idea is that the recepient can use the computation as part of a filter. a "signed" message can be deemed to be real. a white list will enable mailing lists and such. other messages will still need to be filtered separately, but by paying a small computational price the sender can thus bypass the filter.
this is not a completely new idea as some have indicated. Essentially this places a cost on sending a message. The marginal cost is that of carrying the computation by a computer is a dedicated server farm. A problem with the simple form is that stronger computers reduce greatly the cost of each message depends greatly on the speed of available cpu's which (so far, more or less) obays Moore's law.
An interesting solution is to use a computation that is intensive in memory access, as the speed of access does not increase as quickly as calculation speed.
How do protable MP# players do for recording?
Are there any that are able to record uncompressed files from a mic?
Are any of them equipped with mic jack (as opposed to just line in)?
Well, there are other approaches to increasing computational power. For one thing, chips are still very flat and do not use the possibilities of 3d space nearly as much as they could.
A big issue with piling many layers to form a volume filling chip is heat dissipation, but with low power technologies this direction is possible. Additionally, chips that apporximate fractal forms with dimensions between 2 and 3 are imaginable. Active circuitry of such sponge like chips will have a much higher surface area than full volumes allowing an interface with a heat dissipation mechanism.
The next step should be a discussion forum somewhat akin to slashdot where readers also moderate posts to flter up the interesting ones, while keeping it decentralized over P2P.
A couple of friends of mine who received a book purporting to be the new Harry Potter a couple of days before the original release have read it. Their conclusion is that while it would have benefitted from a good editor going over it, it was basically better then the real one (which they read a few days later), with more character developement. The fake also did not ignore the effect of hormones on behavior.
It was also remarkably similar in plot, probably due to both authors reading fan discussions on what will happen for the last couple of years.
BBC reporter said that: "At first he was just a distant speck hurtling through the morning sky, only occasionally visible between the clouds. With his carbon fibre wings silhouetted against the rising Sun it was a bizarre sight."...

Translation (computerized or not) is about picking the correct meaning from the context. If the word appears in the given text and in a similar context in the sample texts you could pick the correct meaning.
As for inflected (read most) languages, learning to separate a word into its stem and inflections is the first step, even if you have a number of such possible break-ups.
However, if this sentence appears in some context, and the sample texts are extensive enough to include the idiom "get pissed" in a similar context it may be enough to let the translator prefer one translation over the other.
If this project got this far I would be impressed.
The key improvement is not just to search for phrases that appear in the sample texts. If you have an idea for what a word means and what its grammatical role is then you can plug it into other sentences and greatly extend the set of phrases you can translate.
Thus an important idea is to search for phrases that match gramatically with phrases you can translate.
however, this requires a stage where the sample texts are used to extract grammatical information on the second language. Of course, it helps alot if you are familiar with one of the two languages.
IPython appears like a nice environment, but is not quite what I seek. One of it's main features (from the IPython site is:
"Macro system for quickly re-executing multiple lines of previous input with a single name."
I would like to be able to edit previous input and re-execute it.
Additionally, IPython has a logging mechanism, but it appears from their site that these can only be edited after the session, and not during the session. so far the closest I got is by running python in an emacs shell, and writing the input in a separate buffer with some key-combination for executing a block of code.
Does anyone know of a notebook interface for python as for Mathematica?
Running python in an emacs shell allows for erasing previous I/O but new input can only be added at the bottom, and old inputs can't be edited and rerun.
I was also bugged by this for quite some time, but
came up with a resolution. A terrorist attack is characterized not by its target but by its goal: to cause terror. If killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq causes people in the U.S. personal fear then it satisfies this requirement for being considered terrorism (personally I don't think such attacks causes significance fear).
With this definition, it is possible for a terror attack to be legal as it is internationally acceptable to attack an occupying military presence.
There is a protocol for e-voting known in the cryptographic comunity where the votes may be published (on the internet) at the end of the day so that any party can verify votes are there (and if votes are missing prove that they are valid) while still preserving anonimity of the voters (beyond the location where they had voted).
As long as (paper) money is printed by the government, there are no serious leaks in the flow of money, and it all stys public.
If a program like this is run by private parties, they would like to maximize their profits, and so will charge some commision on each transaction, thus a certain precent of all money used this way leaks to private hands.
Of course, market laws prevail, and if many competing such cards are available then commisions will be lower, but still exist. This of course requires standartization of the cards, which further complicates security.
Not completely. Going over a hundred messages once a week, and quickly scanning them before erasing them all is much less annoying then having that spread out over the whole day.

You forget that windows 2018 _will_ require that much power to run, so demand for power will not peter out.

Perhaps not, but I'm sure some people would pay to avoid it.
