Just a FYI on terminology, but first/second/third world countries don't mean what people think they do.
The classification system stems from the cold war, where a first world country was a capitalistic ally / puppet, a second world country was a communistic ally / puppet, and a third world country was an unaligned and undeveloped country.
The terms you are looking for are MDC (more developed country) and LDC (less developed country); these are in use by most organizations and by modern human geographers.
People tend to misinterpret what that classification scheme means, so I thought I'd clear it up.
I second this comment; it should be noted that it is not, and it never will be, illegal to sell your paper. What you are doing is similar towhat ghostwriters do, which is clearly legal.
I imagine being able to subscribe to studies and experiments, and receiving updates when available. The most irritating thing about 'scientific discovery' news articles is the fickle nature of the media to keep people in the loop on it.
It sounds like what you want is a real scientific journal instead of whatever bastardized version the mainstream press decides to feed you. Nature is always a good one, and perhaps something on medical technology.
> It says that it reflects virtually no light. I wonder if that includes the frequencies that are used for radar.
Last time I checked, radio waves aren't a frequency of light; they are actually part of the Electro-Magnetic Wave Spectrum, which happens to include light, as well as heat and cosmic rays, among others. To use a dreaded car analogy, a Ford is not a type of Chrysler.
And I'd say the chance of a given material near-completely absorbing such a large portion of the EM spectrum is very, very low.

Winamp was kinda the crux of media players; It was one of the last good ones that was partially just a player and partially a music manager. Some programs were taken to the extreme of being just a player (mpg123 anyone?), while other were focused more on the cohesive collection management in the program (useful when you have 10k songs).
Personally, [mpg|ogg|flac]123 is my favorite player, while Amarok is my favorite collection manager.

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. I immediately ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" "Like what?" "Well... are you religious or atheist?" "Religious." "Me too! Are you Christian or Jewish?" "Christian." "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?" "Protestant." "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?" "Baptist." "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?" "Baptist Church of God." "Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?" "Reformed Baptist Church of God." "Wow! Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?" "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!" To which I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.^W^W^W^W^W^W^W"That's ok, I am from 1879, but we can be friends anyway!"
I actually saw a completely secure OS once, it was OSS, too. The code was in assembly (so the compiler can't introduce bugs), but I think I can translate it into C for you:
int main() {
while (1)
{/* Ignore all input, especially those damn users */
} }

That's going to give a really shitty connection.

Ohm my God! We have to stop with these loaded puns. I admit they have potential, but the current situation stretches it a bit far.
Upside of knives: Simple, final.
Downside of knives: The world would be controlled by physical strength, scientists and engineers (especially computer geeks) would be at a sever disadvantage in culture and law, and sports and physical attributes would be raised far above intelligence in societal worth.
Wait....
I was a little loopy at the time... Heh.
Ignoring the nickle and dime losses you'd have just by design, you run in to the same old problem: What are bad at writing for multiple cores/cpus.
Concurrency is perhaps the biggest problem to modern day CS.
If we could figure out how to use all those cores effectively, it would be awesome. Until then, its of dubius as a archaeticture
A Slashdot summary wrong? Inconceivable!
The Google giveth and the Google taketh away...

It is, however, illegal to USE such papers.
Call me back when I can start a culture of Core Duos in a petri dish filled with a silicon nutrient.

As a side point, you can't patent algorithms.
All that is left now is to insert the gene for fuckin' lasers on the head into embryonic sharks.
In my day email was banging stones together on a tall hill.
You can always "lift" some snippets from here.
It's almost like I've seen this article before...
