Adobe does not feel like rewriting an entire program at a moments notice
There is no "moments notice" for Cocoa. Instead it's been there since Mac OS X. Carbon is the "old" OS 9 compatibility environment, where it was clear that it will not be ready for the future. Adobe should have ported the Creative Suite to Cocoa a long time ago.
But thats exactly what the original was about: Molybdenum plays a significant role in the nitrogen cycle. The artifical compound for nitrogen fixation shows that it is possible to use Mo for that. And since the ligand in the compound by Cummins et al. bounds with N-atoms to the Mo, it would be easy for "mother nature" to use proteins for that.
I would actually go further. In my experience with several to-end-user web applications, latency is the only thing that counts, as long as you are displaying some kind of useful progress-bar for any bandwidth-limited actions (e.g. uploads). The "normal" user knows about limited bandwidth, therefore he is used to that. Powerusers will switch to working in multiple tabs, so they don't have a problem with that either.
I'm sure my tailor could sew a pocket into my pants that's big enough to hold my Dell D420 laptop, too, but that doesn't make it a good idea. You don't need a tailor for that, Scottevest (http://www.scottevest.com/) has a jacket with all you need:). Even normal "big" gadgets don't bulge your pockets, but it even has a 15"laptop-sized backpocket in the "TACTICAL 4.0 Jacket".
You don't have to buy an M-16 from Uncle Sam. Just get a Colt AR-15 and find someone to manufacture a new sear and selector switch. Bingo, you have an M-16. It's not that difficult, just illegal.
And how will you get like 10.000 of those custom-fit?
Don't know about the "short" version of the 7.62. It's my understanding that it's the same round that we used in the M-14.
The M14 uses 7.62×51mm NATO ammunition (like the (M)G3, M60), the short version (7.62x39mm, ComBloc) is the Soviet Block version for their rifles. Still powerfull, but heavier than the 5,56 x 45mm NATO.
The G36 may look cool, but it has definite drawbacks, not the least of which is a relatively unproven polymer receiver. It isn't common but sustained fire, particularly with a suppressor attached, can damage it. The zero of the weapon will shift, or it can melt enough to render the thing useless. That and no one trusts polymer magazines in a rifle yet.
Thats actually not true, even the machine-gun version of the G36 works flawlessly under sustained fire. And the sight is absolutely soldier-proof (thats better than idiot-proof;) ). Sure, the "plastic" finish looks weird for a weapon, especially compared to "old" rifles like a G3, though up to now, it proved to be really sturdy, and I never heard of problems with the polymer mags yet.

delaying it for basically artificial reason, that doesn't sound like a wise strategy.
So far, that strategy worked for Apple ;-)
And the plural of "pedant" is Slashdot.
No, thats the pluralis maiestatis.
Already there, called a MACINTOSH. ;)

The AG3 uses the NATO version: 7.62x51mm (see http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=231373&cid=187 88907).
