... for people to start doing research with. Since universe as we know it has been expanding since the "beginning" of time, there have been new theories that suggest that at some point, that process would stop and the universe would bgin to contract, and eventually cave in on itself. Technology like this IR machine-robot-vehicle can give us more accurate results to relevant physical questions like:
What is the density of the universe (our solar system)?
Where does it end, when does a new one start?
Is the expanding universe slowing down expanding at n ever decreasing rate?
Tools like this can give us more substantial evidence in answering these questions. This knowledge is relevant in planning and preparing a space agenda for the near future.
The more we know about the physical properties of outer space, determined by measuring speed, direction and age of light/particles, the better we can launch more useful machines into space, as opposed to another pair of satellites for the next cable channel.
Did anyone note the recent disclaimer at the bottom of his incredibly awesomely designed page? The modem next to that poor 600MHz isn't going to stop blinking for awhile.
So if they don't destroy them at discharge, will theyever. I know hospitals only keep records about 10 years back. But the government is obviously keeping DNA samples for their personal use. Is this permitted, or does it infringe on citizens' personal rights?
Another episode proving Marx's theory that life consists of opposite forces battling each other incessantly. Hackers crack the Xbox:Microsoft produces new hack resistant version.
If they had a way to do it, they'd release it; why wouldn't they?
Or they realized thay will not get the $100,000 prize from the contest and decided to go for bigger bucks. Those student loans have to get paid somehow.

The paragraph raises an interesting point about how we are losing our right to tinker with things, especially electronic hardware.
That market is in sharp contrast to the auto industry, where automakers make more money by letting you customize, tweak, and tinker (think accessories).
Why can't thecomputer / electronics industry share this harmony. Rather, its members hides evolution from each other so as to prevent stealing of ideas, when pooling of ideas would bring about much more development. This "hiding", I believe, is a recent trend.
Companies are so obsessed with short-term solutions that the profit-while-I'm-CEO mentality is really slowing down the industry.
By the way, did anyone else wake up today and hear about records companies threatening to sue for file sharing on thre or more TV/radio stations?
The Taiwanese government recently became the latest one to advocate the development and adoption of open source software. The main reason? Cost, of course.
The government plans to save nearly US$300 million that it otherwise would have paid in royalty fees to software giant Microsoft.
In addition to promoting open source, Taiwanese legislators have expressed dissatisfaction with the U.S. government's lack of action against Microsoft's illegal monopoly. They also have launched an investigation to find out whether the Taiwanese government needs to take its own actions against the company.

This excerpt is from another article, and I think it states some good reasons for why a national government would make this decision.

I think the real winner is the Brazilian citizens. Although the government is certainly not about to buy trhem a bunch of computers, thisis a big step towards spreading technological skills throughout the region, into schools, and into people's homes. Let's not forget that a society that cannot stay in tune with technology is doomed to be at a serious disadvantage on a global scale.
Here we are bickering about the effects of Hydrogen release into the stratosphere, forgetting how it pales in comparison to the damages caused by oil: Exhaust aside; oil spills, direct burning of oil, filtering plants.
Not to mention, combustion engines rinning on oil-based fuel (every common vehicle, except the segway)are very inefficient too.
Unfortunately, you need a lot of electricity to do that. Until nuclear power becomes popular again, there's not enough capacity in our power infrastructure.
That's why my soon-to-be-patented wind turbine, 10 times as effective as current mills, will make me millions!!
Scientists have varying views about many important issues, along with diferent theories and results, but only one can be accepted as the industry standard, hance the legislative standard.
I would like to know who funded the Cal Tech study?
Lindows.com has a great interactive tutorial that lets you try out the desktop. Pay close attention to the Click-N-Run feature...something similar to rpm installer in RedHat. Lindows is sold a WalMart with Suse installed, and has KDE or GNOME desktops for $300 or $500 with 1.2ghz or 2.5 ghz respectively. I might buy one and just format the harddrive, the hardware package is pretty cheap!
Youre right.. I would not want to see the First Amendment violated, but you are ignoing the political power that medica organizations hold. They can abuse it as they see fit, and noone is going to stop them. I think anyone has sthe right to voice their opinions, but there is a sjharp contrast between reaching 10,000 people, and spamming it (constant reiteration of views) to 50 million people.
another TV that can't have cable because the TV is in the middle of the room and there is no way to run cable along the baseboard to it. You'd have to run it under carpets or something
You are obviously not an electrician. Buy an extension from Radio Shack, dummy.
Television should be regulated, but today it is not. If you're going to tell me that's what the FCC does, think again. They just handed over more power to media conglomerates alowing them to own up to 45% in individual markets. Of all the regulation that goes on in all the different industries, television is not regulated. Sure you can't say 'fuck' on NBC, but popluarity is the most powerful thing a group can have, hence media conglomerates present a danger to our political system today as they decide who goes to COngress, by airing, publishing, broadcasting, printing, influencing your views about every politician that is up for election.
Shouldn't ther be some restriction on what these sstations can air, what they can say?

Can we drink it? Cuz that might cause some theft prolems after a new wave of alcoholism sweeps the world.

Counter-Strike.
Hence the ever famous paragon of technical society: "What is Linux?"

Then in your opinion, would that town of 200 benefit more from TV (think FOX), or internet connectivity?
I believe they recivie most of their funding from donations, but in return their views reflect the interests of their donors.

Room of the future? It's just some electronics and gadgets from the Sharper Image thrown into an ordinary hotel room.
All this calls for is more calls to the service desk: "How do I use the remote to turn the lights down, they are blinding me again!?"
