No. We're already that. Lazy. Nope, got that covered, too.
Google -and the Internet as a whole- are just more things that we have created for which we have not found a meaningful use for, yet.
I don't care if it's the actual 'Word of G-d' himself. I will not be told by the author, publisher, or the marketer, where, when, how or for how long, I can read the books that I purchase.
Microsoft will not continue to run on an open source platform, like they did with Hotmail.
We have already seen a little bit of this with the Novell agreement. Novell's OSS version of iFolder server development has been stalled for nearly a year. Shortly after the agreement with MS was signed. That product competes with MS Sharepoint server.
This 'takeover' would not be a 'Good Thing'.
So, if a plurality of the people in a given locality support a specific set of beliefs, it is perfectly acceptable for them to exercise those beliefs through government, which is made up of the people themselves, so long as they do not infringe on the rights of others to worship or not worship as they see fit.
No, it is not acceptable for that to occur. Once a specific religious group controls the government -and expresses their belief system using the power of the government- then it becomes a state sanctioned religion. That is why the The Constitution provides for the separation of church and state. Not only to allow the free and unhindered expression of belief by citizens, but also the freedom from having another belief system forced upon them by elected government representatives who may have a differing belief system.
Burns: That's right, keep tasting those domains.
Little do you know you're getting ever closer to the poison domain.
Smithers! There still is a poison domain, isn't there?
Smithers: Ah, no sir. Our lawyers thought that would be murder.
Dinosaurs were on their way out by the end of the Cretaceous
anyway. In N. America they had declined from about 35 genera
to about 12 genera by the end of this period. The #1 reason
for their decline was the dropping O2 levels in the atmosphere
caused by the intense volcanic activity that was occurring
due to the breakup of Pangea. O2 levels were about 35% at the peak
of the Cretaceous and are about 21% today. Dinosaurs got big because
they had lots of O2 to breathe. They also didn't need to be warm-blooded
because everywhere it was warm, anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees C. higher
on average than it is today. Big animals take a long time to heat up and
longer to cool off, so no need to be homeothermic.
The number two reason was probably cooling due to increased levels of
aerosols and particulites in the atmosphere from all the volcanism.
So it's getting harder to be a big animal when you can't breathe,
it's getting colder (and you can't regulate your body temp),
and your food supply is changing or disappearing.
Then along comes this pesky meteor that blasts a few billion cubic
meters of dust into the atmosphere and turns out the lights for a
year or two. No heat, no food, no O2, no survival if you need these in
quantity. That's one situation that our mammalian ancestors could cope with
though, because their survival demands were lower.
Well, it should be obvious to even the most dim-witted
individual who holds an advanced degree in hyperbolic
topology,
Professor Johnathan Frink!
While not technically a "film" scientist just yet, he
will, I'm sure, appear in the upcoming Simpsons movie...and then the thing, with the... mm-m person...
Oh boy, that monkey is going to pay.
The Antarctic ice sheet has a volume of roughly thirty (30) million cubic kilometers. At the rate of melting stated in the article, the entire Antarctic ice sheet will be completely gone in about 197,000 years.
HP announced this at their annual HP Labs event in
Tenerife SIX months ago. So far nothing's changed.

From the JPL website:
"Meanwhile, scientists are re-calibrating data from both rovers' alpha particle X-ray spectrometers. These instruments are used to assess targets' elemental composition. The sensor heads for the two instruments were switched before launch. Therefore, data that Opportunity's spectrometer has collected have been analyzed using calibration files for Spirit's, and vice-versa. Fortunately, because the sensor heads are nearly identical, the effect on the elemental abundances determined by the instruments was very small. The scientists have taken this opportunity to go back and review the results for the mission so far and re-compute using correct calibration files. "The effect in all cases was less than the uncertainties in results, so none of our science conclusions are affected," Squyres said."
It would have been more serious if they had lost the calibrations on the instruments.
There used to be a version of Windows that ran on PPc PREP; it was Windows NT 3.1 (3.5?) fo PPC. It was discontinued years ago because of its' overwhelming popularity and availability of hardware.

When it's 1024 processors in a water-cooled solid block of silicon.
With Godot and the second coming.
I'm not waiting for either.

Did the door hit him in the ass on the way out?
You can't fix stupid.
"...most "virtual worlds" with obvious commercial trappings certainly don't inspire much besides mockery."
Especially here.
I, for one, cannot wait until I can get Wheaties with Barbados Slim limboing away on the front of the box.

Yeah. Right. Stellar track record. Never late for any reason.
That lunar dust is "not hazardous", read this: MICRO-MORPHOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF LUNAR DUST The part about "glass shards" really brings the "point" home.
When you get down to zepto and yocto, that's when things really start happening!

Oh, wait a minute..."on to something"
Never mind.
