Practicality is nice, really it is, however we need NASA to do the things that corporations will not. As an example let us consider LISA, it's main purpose is to detect gravitational waves. How many corporate investors do you think care about gravitational waves? Like it or not we need NASA.
I do believe you are correct. Looking at both Nature's and Science's submission FAQ's, both seem to be free of cost. Anyone who has actually published with the big two care to comment?
One must not forget Silpheed for the SegaCD and it's sequal,Silpheed: The Lost Planet Although treasure only played a minor role in developing it Silpheed: The Lost Planet is a rather good PS2 shooter.
Looking at the ISS video from the article, I find it amazing that one can get such a good observation of the ISS with "ordinary" (read somewhat expensive but still in the realm of the obtainable) telescopes. That brings me to the question, do any real or amateur astronomers care to share what equipment they will be using to view the eclipse?
From what I had gathered, most anything involving tachyons ranks rather high on the crackpot index. I do not suppose there are any physicits or string theorists who could shed some light as to why they pop up in these entries.
Actually there are quite a few physicists in engineering departments across the nation. The reason being is that a majority of the engineering departments recieve a good deal more in the way of funding.
I do hope you know what you are doing, as I would be worried about quite a bit more than my camera if a flashflood were to occur. Aside from that, I would go with a cheap disposable waterproof camera.
Could bots such as this bring back the butler? Not so long ago it was rather common for many upper and middle class families to have "service", could we see a resurgence of this?
It was always my understanding (I may very well be wrong so feel free to correct) that although somewhat viable, that utilizing wind (and solar) power would require rather large tracks of land.
Given that you have worked on this project, would you care to comment on the other projects such as SUMO and LATOR which also aim to test Einstein's relativity?
If companies refused to go off shore, then everyone would be able to survive and we wouldn't lose any jobs.
Or the company cannot keep costs down and thus fails to meet shareholder's expectations and flounders, bringing everyone down with it.
However there is the itty bitty problem that it is not economical right now. IMHO pebble based reactors are the way to go until fusion becomes a viable option.
I and I expect a few others here are quite interested in theorems such as this, however we run into a bit of a problem. We cannot understand them. So my question is, to those of you who hold advanced maths degrees, where can we go to find out about the world of abstract mathematics. Where are good introductory websites? What are good introductory texts? Inquiring minds want to know!
Hmm, seems that you skip over the part about him providing a great deal of funding to those who research tropical diseases such as malaria. You know, the same diseases that drug companies could develop a vaccine for yet they do not as it would be unprofitable.
Well it is his money. If he feels like donating some to help fund SETI, so be it. If he feels like donating it to the educational system, so be it. If he feels like throwing it on his bed and rolling around naked on it , then so be it.

The apparatus of which you speak most likely would push the rover over the weight constraints.
Start here.

That depends on what record label you listen to. I routinely buy new classical CD's for $5-8 dollars.

From what I have heard that should be 1 gram per lb. of lean body mass.

Just remember to take what you find on arXiv with a grain of salt. It is a preprint service, which means the papers are not peer reviewed.

From what I have heard (take this with a grain of salt...) Sun's servers are still highly respected and sought for mission critical stuff.
He is Charles Stross, an up and coming sci-fi author.

Ahem, although it was a bit ago, IBM researchers did develop the Scanning Tunneling Microscope.
I do believe that those are Australian dollars.
