Give both systems limited amount of time and money. X dollars to buy hardware (and maybe software). Y hours to set up and tune the systems. After that run the benchmarks. The system that wins has pretty much the best bang for the buck.
Nothing new here. Think Yahoo directory! You pay them to get your paper reviewed but this does not guarantee publishing. Some magazines might be more picky than others but that is also case with pay to read stuff.
Some are worried that the independence of the "Beeb" could be compromised, and Conservative lawmakers are worried that it does not allow for enough oversight (leaves it too independent?).
Seems that both sides are worried. Then it should be just right.
The most overlooked form of gambling is insurance. You place a bet that your house will catch fire. If it doesn't then you loose your bet. If it does you win!! But your winnings are actually less than the value of the damage.

Some people here have pointed out that due to the price of am the bombs made of this stuff would be in the same league with current nuclear bombs.
This might be true now but I read someplace (sorry cant point to the source) that the price of am can be reduced considerably when the production process is "less clean" than in current scientific outfits.
Reason is that science needs clean results for their research and experiments but when you need industrial quantities of the stuff you can sacrifice some of the purity for quantity.
It's like tap water - clean enough for everyday use but not clean enough for scientific experiments.
And obviously at some point the economies of scale kick in.
To love justice, to long for the right, to love mercy, to pity the suffering, to assist the weak, to forget wrongs and remember benefits -- to love the truth, to be sincere, to utter honest words, to love liberty, to wage relentless war against slavery in all its forms, to love wife and child and friend, to make a happy home, to love the beautiful; in art, in nature, to cultivate the mind, to be familiar with the mighty thoughts that genius has expressed, the noble deeds of all the world, to cultivate courage and cheerfulness, to make others happy, to fill life with the splendor of generous acts, the warmth of loving words, to discard error, to destroy prejudice, to receive new truths with gladness, to cultivate hope, to see the calm beyond the storm, the dawn beyond the night, to do the best that can be done and then to be resigned -- this is the religion of reason, the creed of science. This satisfies the brain and heart.

What?! You mean we have to RTFA?
Well, "modern" as oposed to those who don't use modern technology

I quit smoking 3 months ago. Now I do 25 push-ups and sit-ups every hour (started with 10) and then walk around a bit. Maybe 5-7 mins total...

You didn't read TFA, did you? The results in TFA show that Moox lags behind standard firefox in every test (win)...

Well ... speaking of connection speeds, it seems that they are improving faster than 2x per 18 months lately.
Yes, it may take few years to be feasible but the TV companies should start worrying now or they'll be late.
With Microsoft's volumes I would be surprised if they pay more than $1 per disk.
rocket - carries fuel and oxygen
plane - carries fuel but takes oxygen from atmospher
Seems like the same thing that happened to X-15

This is a very good idea. It should make it not profitable to hold patents/copyright just in case you can sue someone someday.
... but the idea seems great.
The details might get very complicated to the point that iti is unenforcable
Has anyone patented it yet? Seems a good thing to patent.
The attachment is called part01.bin may be part02.bin, part03.bin ... allow to store larger than 10 MB files?
