How do you cope with living in a space vessel the size of a closet with an ex and her new boyfriend?
Ask Fleetwood Mac. They seemed to have figured out how to do it alright. Well, except for the space vessel part. Although Stevie Nicks might qualify as one.
I wrote a little about this here , but you should also check out Marshall Brain's Robotic Nation essays for more.
It might not be all good news for a rapid rise of robotic technologies. Espcially if the socio-economic factors aren't taken into consideration from the beginning.

Incorrect. Most legitimate companies will run screaming the other way at the suggestion of buying competitive intelligence that was illegally obtained.
There is such a thing as the Economic Espionage Act of 1996: http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/cybercrime/1831NEW.h tm
Compaines take this seriously. So do people who work in this field.
Ummm...I believe it was Columbia that disintegrated. Challenger was the victim of an external fuel tank explosion as a result of a leaking solid rocket booster, if I remember correctly.
The one at Disneyland closed, but the one at Disneyworld in Orlando was renamed the Tomorrowland Transportation Authority. Some info can be found here: (http://www.yesterland.com/peoplemover.html)
The TTA is actually very cool. We rode it a couple of times in October.

To put it another way - if you had to choose, sight unseen, between playing the latest game on a PC or a XBox, and the XBox ran you $150 plus the cost of the game, but the PC ran you $600, plus a souped up NVidia Video card for $200, plus another trip back to the store for more RAM for another $100, plus waiting three months for the patch to come out so your video card would work with it... need I go on? The choice seems clear...
This is exactly the situation that I ran across. I spent a good amount of time building what was, at the time, a pretty good gaming PC. I put a nice nVidia MX-something in there (I think 200) and was fairly happy. For one game. Then my kids wanted to play other games, and for whatever reason, they wouldn't work correctly. So it was necessary for me to chase down patches, apply them, hope those patches didn't break whatever worked before, and cross my fingers.
I decided after about the third iteration of that nonsense to go buy an XBOX. For us, works every time. I don't have to mess with it, and if you want to play a game, just play one. From this consumers perspective, I won't be setting up another PC to play high-end games. There's just no positive ROI there for me. As always, YMMV.

My pre-Lenovo Thinkpad (T41p) was built in China. Lenovo's are built in China. What's the difference here?

Outstanding answer...thank you for that. I was not aware that was the case.

So then Netscape is its own grandpa???

Wow. I figured I'd be safe with "Confessions..." Guess I'd better lawyer up. I guess SpongeBob will be next.
Here's the URL for BOINC: http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/
He allegedly violated the Economic Espionage Act, which in the U.S. is a felony, and certainly a federal offense.
It's too bad that I had to discover Winamp as a result of this post on /. I hang my head in geek shame.
