You may laugh but I visited one big corporation not so long ago, and to my amazement they used Windows 2000. Not that I did not like Win2k, but I was like, WTF? They said that per company's policy they skip one version of Windows to save on the upgrades. So they skipped Windows XP. And decision has just been made to upgrade all the computers to Windows Vista. And yes they do plan to skip Windows 7.
That is why they should not use the tin-foil enthusiasts in these experiments. They may later claim that they were tricked into doing this simulation but instead they were taken to Mars and brought back.
Officer to the driver: Sir, you were the millionth car who crossed this bridge. Here is your prize of $10000. What are you going to do with that money?
Driver: I will finally buy the driving license.
Wife: Do not listen to him, he is just drunk.
Mother in law: Didn't I tell you that you would not get far on the stolen car?
A voice from the trunk: Did we cross the border yet?
He already had superpowers, given that the meteorite travelling at some 40km/s bounced off his hand before making a huge hole in the ground. Not forgetting the boy actually survived.
If you need something that works soon, that is what private funding is for. All the venture capitalists want quick return for their investments.
On the other hand government's primary job is to fund research positive outcome of which is not so obvious in the present. It is government's job to take risks and invest in longer term research which potentially may have bigger pay outs 20-30 years later.
I assume here that the governments are usually more stable than all these vulture capitalists, and US government can take losses for prolonged periods of time for the greater good of being more advanced than the other more shortsighted governments.
I can see big potential for using concurrent computing in Excel. Every cell in spreadsheets deserves its own thread, this way the Excel does not crash by one mistake in one cell.
I had the mod points, but I was unable to spend them for that post was modded to the max. So I am posting a reply to help the fellow modders who are now wondering how to spend their points. Do not worry the fellow modders, if this post gets modded to the max I will reply again.

Apparently, dogs know better than to send the hand that feeds them to jail.
Depends. Is the air hot?
The Garbage collector restores performance of the drive. Nothing comes free, so a question - at what cost?
leetspeak is so 1990s. I do not think 15 year olds would have a clue for the terminology you old people are using.

It is not as bad as me signing a present (a book) "To inteligent sister from intelectual brother"

Seriously, I dare them to crash this car in the next Batman.
Remember Louisiana was once European, and Alaska was Asian. It took quite a bit of cash to restore the continental integrity.
You had it easy young man. I had to use ChiWriter .
I am pretty sure they found lots of worthless derivatives and other lottery tickets to account for all of it.
Add "weight" to that list.
If you need heavier storage you should go for the punched cards.
but how about the cost to drivers who use these roads frequently and will have to replace their tires more frequently?
It is easy to offset this cost by making the road a toll road. Oh wait...

If only one could design a way to automatically evaluate your irritability...
A number of NASes can download files from web, like this one
