What precludes the possibility of the scientists being engineers? I'm a scientist and an engineer (though not involved with space exploration). It is entirely within the realm of possibility that the engineers that knew what needed to be done to increase the longevity also knew much of the science behind how to do so.
I believe that an understanding of both sides helps solve problems while dramatically reducing the need for engineers to translate to science and vice versa.
And what bank was it that you opened the account with to get the free swag? Inquiring minds would love to know/bumrush the nearest branch doing the same promotion.
Wow, people have no recollection of old classic SF movies at all. The original cinematic occurence of the material known as "flubber" was in The Absent-Minded Professor, back in 1961. I think it was an old model T that they put the flubber in (among other things). Then again, it's one of those movies that just begs for MST3K...
So i'm wondering when the beginning of the end will actually begin. RIAA has been pulling stuff like this since they started losing what they deemed their "fair share" of the market, repeatedly looking for excuses to perpetuate their model, as someone stated above.
Sometimes they have justification for copywrite infringement. But most of the time they are trying to rewrite information property rights to suit their own needs.
When is it gonna stop working in their favor? When will society/the legal system/RIAA realize that they are gripping the past a little bit too tightly and society tends to follow innovation?
