If it were rotating then we would lose a lot of the benefits of the experiments being done in space namely weightlessness. Also (from wikipedia) we don't know the long term effects of living in a centrifuge. Finally at a practical level the ISS isn't designed to be rotated, likely doesn't have the fuel to start the rotation and slow the rotation for the dockings and would introduce a whole new set of engineering problems.
The definition of 3G is 3rd generation. Sprint has been using the term 4G to mean 4th generation. 3G was only loosely defined and the ITU has now decided to arbitrarily specify stricter standards for 4G. The confusion is already here and this isn't a black and white issue. It's similar to the USB Highspeed, fullspeed or wireless N debacle. Yeah it's annoying but for the most part consumers don't care and anyone technical enough to care is going to do the research anyway.
It's great that we could expand to many different planets. The leap between the Moon, Mars and an extra solar planet is so enormous though that the only thing this tells us is that we may be able to more closely identify where we should listen to for signals.
What, the movies have lied to me? Next you'll be telling me that you can't enhance a photo so many times that you get more information from a reflection in it then was originally taken.
Or, you can have many countries with different laws and global organizations that create treaties that specify how those laws impact other countries. What would be nice is, freedom to move and live in all these different countries easily so if you didn't like a certain countries methods you could easily leave.
Won't corporate transition to IPV6 free up IPV4? For example once IBM, Apple, GE, Ford and HP transition to IPV6 for there internal networks will they not give back their class A networks. They can move to class b networks since I doubt they have 16777214 active connections to the internet at any one time.
In areas where prices are dropping rapidly its interesting that they are able to find price fixing. It used to be memory now I guess it's moved on to screens.
I strongly disagree with the parent post. Learning about electronics and robotics early allows students to become interested before having to decide what they want to take in University/College and it inspires them to finish the necessary high school courses needed to enter Engineering. I would say though that unless the poster is a EE himself and an expert in the parts that he's using it may be more effective to go with the $100 packaged boards first otherwise you run into problems when students decide to branch out on their own.

Your time scale is off. It would be more like wait between 100K and 500K years before a probe reached the closest habitable planet.

Games now have sliding scales of difficulty. Hard / Hardcore / Ultra for experienced / sado-masochists and easy or medium for the rest of us.

Would you like to know more?

I could have had a 24 inch screen for under $200 4 years ago if it weren't for the price fixing.

It always helps when you explain what you are talking about?
