The planetarium that I work at is also considering using the Uniview system. We currently use the Konica Minolta's single-projector MediaGlobe I/II system. It provides wonderful visuals and interactivity in our galaxy, but sadly, its intergalactic abilities aren't nearly up to what the Uniview can do. For those wishing to dabble a bit in the technology behind Uniview, though, check out the free Digital Universe.
Yes, what they will do is wait for the market to become saturated with Wiis. Then they will start selling different colors. Colors will correspond to different bundled games. After a while, they'll release a Wii.1 version with expanded internal Solid State memory, possibly more RAM (to enable larger texture files), and the elimination of the Gamecube slots to make it slimmer. It's possible you'll be able to purchase a USB accessory to connect Gamecube devices to.
From the sounds of it, Steve's wife wanted his last will and testament read and put into effect, and that's what prompted the ruling in the first place.
CNN reported that "Judge Jeffrey Malak made the ruling after an emotional presentation from Fossett's wife of 38 years, Peggy, who also asked that her husband's will be entered into probate."
Germany, Japan, and South Korea are all staging areas for our troops for deployment. Almost all operations in Africa and the Middle East are staged out of Germany and Turkey. Asian conflicts would be staged out of Japan and South Korea. They have these bases in place for rapid global mobility. It's a hell of a lot more effective to fly one C-5 to Germany with supplies to go on C-17's to Turkey and Kuwait than have C-17s fly from the US and have to make multiple hops. That also makes us more reliant on the good will of other nations, ultimately a hindrance to rapid global mobility (just look at Uzbekistan kicking us out or the Turkey-Kurd conflict). We need these large, permanent bases if we are to keep our ability to strike anywhere quickly with a consistent flow of supplies.
One word: Wiretapping
Now they can verify in real-time whether they're listening in on the right person.

Well, if you think about it, the bandwidth from Nasa is paid by the citizens being taxed; so, instead of linking to a page in which you are charged per view some way or another, they link you to a page full of ads and you don't pay a dime.......or someone just wants a big check from getting the slashdot crowd visiting and viewing (or in some cases blocking) ads.
Tidal locking means that the same face is always facing the planet (or the sun, in the case of a planet). This means that the moon is rotating at the same speed as it orbits the planet. Since Io orbits Jupiter every 1.769 earth days, it also makes a complete rotation every 1.769 days, also. There is definitely plenty of spinning going on for that moon.
I'm thinking the "be fruitful and multiply" part was more of a curse than anything. God figured, he's tired of having to take care of the two of them like they were children, so he cursed them to be parents themselves;-). And here most people figured it was a blessing.
Friends from my military base have been deployed to MANY third world countries. Our medical squadron in particular is active in humanitarian relief, and you know what is the most requested operation in most of these villages? That's right, tooth extraction. They know that their teeth will fall out due to rotting at some point in time, so they actually request to have all of their teeth removed. This is true in both Central/South America and Africa. We don't dabble much in the eastern countries, but the true third world is in Africa and Latin America, and tooth quality is atrocious. Please don't spout your organic drabble all over the place. "Organic" foods (aren't almost all foods technically organic?) are nice and all, but when you have to feed a hunger-ridden nation, GE foods are the only ones that can feed the millions without. Without some of our synthetic compounds, the poor would be in much worse condition than they already are.
Mars has a decent atmosphere. Nothing compared to Venus or Earth, but many surveyor mission ideas dealt with light weight, flying craft to do reconnaissance. Other ideas include balloon craft to circle the surface and image, which would also require atmosphere.
The local Walmart has a VHS section that usually has new releases on VHS tapes. What's funny is how much cheaper a new release on VHS is over DVD. The studios kept telling us how DVD prices would come down because DVDs are cheaper to manufacture over tapes, but it never happened. The studios just sat on the extra cash and got fat and happy.
Concerning your analogy: I was thinking more along the lines that a train runs on a single track and sometimes has to be held up for another train to use the same track. They have some track switching, but most operations are serial.
A car on the highway might not be allowed to go as fast as a train, but it's got four lanes to maneuver through. A bunch of cars will reach their destinations faster than a bunch of trains because the trains have to share single tracks often.
Polonium 210 has a half life of only 138 days. To have enough survive from the cold war era that they'd still have lethal amounts is far fetched at best.

You, sir, are a genius. Who would have thought that sometimes, the old-fashioned way worked best? Simplicity should be what we strive for. Why take ten steps to achieve a goal when two will work just fine except w/o the bells and whistles of our Fisher Price XP world?
Presidents often introduce legislation. They introduce it to Congress which argues it for a while, and if it makes it out of Congress, he has the pleasure of executing it. Yes, I paid a little attention to high school American Government (and the world around).
Many places are lucky they're installed at all. Here in the US, it would cause a lot of pissed off Christians to get that program going. Remember, we may have *penises and/or vaginas*, but we're not suppose to admit it. The last thing most of the religious people want to have is that fact being out in the open. And if you read this post, you're dirty dirty dirty!!!!!!
The business is making a copy of the DVD to the iPod (not copyright infringement if fair use laws are interpreted to include DVDs with Audio CDs). Then, upon selling the DVD to the consumer, it transfers all copies to the buyer, just as you are suppose to do if you sell a CD to someone else. I see no copyright violations unless the initial copying of the DVD is not protected under fair use clauses. The only true violation is DMCA violations as they are breaking the CSS copy protection clauses.
This is what WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) is for. They aren't only evil, but they provide a method for inventors to sue in other allied countries if patents or copyrights are violated. Just because a movie is developed in the US doesn't mean it's technically free to distribute in another country. Same goes for patents.
So far, this study has been done on mice only and the dosage was applied only once. The BBC has a decent write-up about it. Hopefully this will be applicable to humans, but many believe the exact drug will not work on human males.
Agreed in many respects. Many people do not realize that although requiring green-spending will be a hit to the economy, it will also boost the economy in ways not foreseen. If a country is on the forefront of green-technology, that country will be able to rake in SUBSTANTIAL cash on intellectual property and the facilities to combat poor environmental management. One of the things this study encourages, though, is requiring massive cutbacks on emissions through taxation and governmental policy. This will spawn new technologies to cheaply and effectively comply with regulations which hopefully will spurn further growth in the environmental technology sector. The countries investing NOW for tomorrow will be the ones at the front of the pack; sadly, many do not see it this way. Who would have thought: spending now will save later.

It requires Silverlight. If you spoof the agent string, it asks you to install both Silverlight and Move Network's media player plug-in.
Routers/Access Points are computing devices more sophisticated than the computers of the early 80s.
No hardware mods necessary, but one of the avenues of attack is by using a hardhack and modding the DVD drive.

If you ready up a couple levels rather than just flaming, you'd have noticed that he develops for MacOSX.
