The catch is that there are hundreds of third parties involved in the construction of any one spacecraft. No one company that I know of builds all the components of a spacecraft, or has the in-house expertise to handle that sort of design. There is a certain amount of institutional knowledge at NASA that doesn't exist in the private sector. Most people working in the space program are contractors anyway...United Space Alliance. Makes more sense to me to keep things as they are...government oversight, commercial construction. If you privatize the whole thing you'll lose control of classified technology, experience cost-overruns, and trade safety for cost even more than you do now.
In ten years, Google will be as despised as Microsoft. In twenty years, it will be just another mainstream company. IBM->Microsoft->Google-> ?. There's always a new gorilla waiting to toss the heavyweight off his perch. As a non-profit, Mozilla has a different set of fears and challenges.
If you go through the effort of reading the patent (pretty sure it is http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6292218/fulltext.html but it might be a similar, but slightly different, patent) you will find that the Kodak method is, indeed, novel. Previous technology (camcorders as well as the QV-11, which used CCD technology, not LCD technology) converted the signal to NTSC format before displaying it. It appears that Kodak's method "avoid(s) the necessity of generating an NTSC format signal in order to reduce the complexity of the required circuitry".
That's about all I have to say about this...
That password would be much safer with a number and a non-alphanumeric character; Try"Pleasestophittingmeononotthewaterboardblipdoolpoolp1@".
Something to be said for "l33t", I suppose.
It isn't just "space rocket technology". Radar, communications, avionics, tracking, gps, life support, $100 billion (today's dollars) of lessons learned from the Apollo program to say nothing of the Shuttle program. There's plenty of info they'd love to have.
The point is: why not just NOT cut NASA's budget and do it in-house? Would you want to fly on a joint US-China spacecraft? Lost in SpaceTranslation indeed.
Not every career involves staring at a monitor day in and day out. Some of us also work in labs and in the field. IMO video games aren't going to prepare kids (6th grade, no less) for the myriad of career parths open to them.
Seems like it wouldn't be that difficult to find a place in Canada that has a climate approximating that of "Little Ice Age", plant some trees, wait a few years, and then harvest Stradivarius-quality wood.
Big deal. Ever have to sit in a traffic jam on a three-lane highway while a cop lets a church parking lot empty? Happens all the time in Florida. Money talks.
Well...the news industry is at least two hundred years old, considering it is specifically mentioned in the US 1st Amendment, so it isn't all that new, at least compared to the Industrial Age.
The catch is that bloggers and twitter scavenge quite a bit of their factual content from "professional" news sources. An additional problem with twitter (which I don't use) and TV are the problems with archiving content; its quite a bit easier to search for a text article than video (granted that some programs have associated text subtitles).
Another problem with blogs and tweets is that there is no accountability. With a larger news organization there is editorial oversight and at least some pretense that the content is factual (if for no other reason than to avoid litigation).
The solution to this might be some sort of accrediting agency for "amateur journalists", which grants some sort of credential and does random quality/fact checks of member's articles.
Heck, for all I know that actually exists; I'm a scientist, so this is all a bit beyond my specific skill sets. I seem to recall that HP Lovecraft was a member of some sort of amateur press association.
The problem is that "zero" won't pay for the journalist and his/her expenses, the editors, the IT team, the marketing department, the building they work in, the administrative staff, the attorney, or the hardware that serves up the news. There's a basic infrastructural cost that can't be eliminated regardless of the media format.

Whoops, my bad. Looks like you need to add an extension, too... http://www.mouserunner.com/FF_Tips_Full_Screen.html

That was humor? You earned yourself a grade of "F" FOR your sense of humor... :)

Which will earn you a grade of "F" at University.
F11 = browse full screen.
...you can't sue the government.

It was back in the 90s.
People are suffering from information and media overload...no down time for the brain. The whole GIGO business.
Quark That show was brilliant.

Given the nature of their military equipment, I'd say there's plenty they don't have yet. No need to hand it to them on a platter.
Sounds like a fantastic way to supply China with even more classified advanced US technology.
To say nothing of the dust storms.
A Constitutional amendment declaring that corporations are legally not individuals is long overdue.
Don't you mean "Where in the woods does a bear/the Pope shit?"
Anal probing would probably keep out more immigrants than DNA/stable isotope testing.
