The SNES was a 65816, the same chip used in the apple IIgs- except that it was running at 10mhz if my memory serves correctly, and a stock gs only runs at 2.7. It had a whole lot of funky things going on (like a 24bit address space and 16bit registers) but it was almost completely compatible with the 65c02. It was also probably the last general purpose microprocessor designed by hand.
The rest of the world gets by fine without syndication. I for one would be extremely happy to not have buffy in syndication- it would mean that I could purchase everything up to something like season 6 on dvd like my british friends. We're hoping to get a season two release in June for region 1.
The entire reason I ride roller coasters is so I can pretend to be a fighter pilot and tense up my stomach muscles, hold my breath, and try not to pass out from the g-force.
The acceleration of mass 1 due to the gravitational field of mass 2 is solely dependent of on mass 2's mass.
This happens because of the lucky coincidence of the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass. If these values varied by anything other than a constant amount the m1's in the equation would not cancel and you would end up in the situation you describe.
The physics changes slightly once General Relativity is taken into account, but only at speeds near c, or around object's whose escape velocity approaches c.
In Eratosthenes day the general feeling among learned people was that the world was a sphere. His great demonstration was not that- it was estimating the circumference of the earth to a remarkable degree of accuracy.
Wheels just aren't that much fun on mountains (your're major concern is not making things easier to slide, but rather to keep them from sliding away from you). The reason that the incas didn't use the wheel for moving stuff around probably has more to do with that than any sort of oversight on their part.
Except that you really don't need manufacturers or stores when you have that sort of copying available for a negligible fee. It's tremendously cheaper to just create a single object (car/couch/whatever) when your marginal cost for creating an additional copy is only 20 cents. You don't even need farms anymore- just duplicate that cow that one person raised before the duper was invented. You're right in that this is going to be a fundamentally different kind of society than anything that has existed in the past. But that doesn't mean it's going to be a bad society.
Yeah, but there are probably 20,000 programmers in the US that could do an acceptable job of that. How many people in the US do you think could throw a no hitter in major league ball?
RCA became the sole owner of NBC in 1932. GE bought NBC in 1986. NBC was originally founded in 1926 as a joint venture between General Electric, RCA, and Westinghouse.
There are entire blocks of email addresses that were created for this. Basically any example domain (example.com, example.net, etc...) is defined as being nonexistent to be used in tcp/ip documentation as examples. something@example.com goes nowhere, doesn't consume anyone's bandwidth, and pretty much no one filters for it.
Because jitting the code and doing runtime optimizations is faster than the static analysis gcj provides? The speed problems with java have nothing to do with the jit. Speed is lost because of the runtime safety checks for null pointers, array bounds, and dynamic casting, inefficient garbage collection on almost every major implementation, and a language definition that makes (nearly) every method call indirectly.
Dual layer is just not possible on a consumer device. If you cranked the laser up high enough to burn layer 2, you're going to cause problems with layer 1. Dual layer disks are manufactured in a two step process. In effect two cd's are made which are each half the height of a standard cd. A semi-reflective coating is placed between them, and then they are bonded together.
Second, the Egyptian writings were in fact encrypted - ideogram languages are very effectively encypted
Properly speaking, Hieroglyphs and the more common everyday hieratic are not ideographic languages. While they do include some signs that represent entire words, the majority of writing is phonetic. Initial attempts to translate the writings of ancient Egypt failed mostly because people assumed that the writing was ideographic.
Just a couple years (alright, more than 5) ago Saddam Hussein was a recurring character on Animaniacs- and still is on South Park. You're right though, I don't expect to see Osama Bin Laden on Pokèmon any time soon.
Actually you can do it if your applet is signed and you have granted it the UniversalLinkAccess permission. Currently it looks like this still doesn't work under mozilla, but it should. Sun claims that it works with their Java Plug-in, see JNI and Java Plug-in

Firstly it's planck time, not plankt. Secondly, it's 1x10-43 seconds. See What is Planck length? What is Planck time?.

F = m1 * a
F = G * (m1 + m2)/r^2
a = G * m2 / r^2

My favorite was a combination of Cobra Commander and Recon

Sadly enough the dot com days are over, so there are probably not all that many 15 year olds tooling around in business jets anymore.

A specification for a language which remains under the control of a single company- i.e. a non-open standard.
RCA became the sole owner of NBC in 1932. GE bought NBC in 1986. NBC was originally founded in 1926 as a joint venture between General Electric, RCA, and Westinghouse.
RCA was not purchased by GE until the mid 1980's.
Because as investors with a significant stake in the company they could share in the liability.
Real time black list. Once your on it you post at -1.

I don't know of any politicians that hold off accepting PAC donations while they wait for the big one...

We can do this in java too- but instead of being able to write unsafe code in java we're forced to use JNI and code in C.
