The major thing holding back the Concord from operating domestically was the noise factor. If they could eliminate or reduce that noise level, then we could see super sonic flight from coast to coast... Probably won't happen, but one could dream....
While I despise Flash, I realize that a lot of companies have a ton of money invested in Flash. Replacing it is not going to be free. Flash will eventually be replaced without the help of protesters if the benefits of HTML5 out weigh those of Flash and the cost of HTML5 is similar to Flash. Cost = Labor, Training and Development Tools.
I have C64 Floppies that are 30+ years old that are still good. Modern floppies suck. I remember copying files onto a 3.5" disk, turning to another computer and the disk was bad. The old 5.25" disks seem to last forever.
I know the OP is talking PC, but I know many/. users grew up on the C64, so on a similar note, I converted all mine with a product called ZoomFloppy.
2. Super-easy, but hard to understand, and errors are not picked up at compile time (C, Perl, PHP, Javascript)
C does not belong in that list....
What needs to happen is that these upper-most languages need to "flatten the layers" to use a photoshop analogy, down to just a CPU/GPU-neutral LLVM JIT compiler. This isn't what happens now.
Except in.NET... All.NET languages compile down to an IL, which is then compiled by a JIT on the platform it is run on....
Lots of stupid ideas count as news. If/. only posted good ideas, we wouldn't have much to read....
Maybe the idea is that we can discuss stupid ideas to see how stupid they really are, or whether they might just have some merit? A lot of good ideas come from a lot more stupid ideas. If you're lucky, you'll have 1 good idea out of every 100 stupid ideas.
In this case, I agree with #1 and #3 of your post:)
So if this adjusts the picture based on your eyes, what does it do if multiple people are watching? Especially when they go to the "Glass-less" version?
So if someone sends me an Image of the bill being signed into law, can I have the Governor locked up? If I lived there, I could argue that the bill intimidates me and causes emotional distress since I don't know if I'll be going to jail because someone found something I sent "offensive".
I'm not really sure how effective it will be. The cartoon seemed more of a satire then educational. They should take a lesson from School House Rock on how to make educational cartoons that will be taken seriously.

Maybe it was a typo and they really meant to say "My Space Engineers"....
100,000,000,001.
Hope I win!
On the last Daily Show they said it was over 7T, and not 1.2T.
For some reason I trust the Daily Show for more accurate news then real news outlets...
Ummm... She's my new "Robot!" Really! I swear!

Don't they know the Banks are closed on Saturday!
Foiled again!
Same number I have on my luggage!
Takes awhile to open though....

Works great!

I'm marrying the sexy librarian I met on OkCupid next May.
So you haven't met her yet and you're ready to marry her?
Encapsulation
Polymorphism
Productivity
To name a few....

"culture where appearances are deemed more important than reality"
Oh, you mean like the USA? Here we value appearance over reality every day.
Unlikely because PhotoShop has significant "non-infringing" uses.
This tangent reminds me of this....

Unless they are using reverse psychology on you!

That's not very nice.
To the Sharks...
That would probably be a violation of the DMCA or some patent....
Burger Time or Food Fight? Might explain why they were always hungry!
I'm guessing 4.

No one has ever heard of Jitsi or similar.
I have! But only one post ago...
