Did it promise to change the world? This is not technology, it's fundamental research. Applying that always takes time.

It did. Maybe you just don't work in a field where you would notice it.
Do they really promise to change the world? Because this really doesn't look like promising technology.
For a second there I thought you meant DivX (or any variation thereof). Mostly because I had never heard of DIVX. Because, you know, it failed utterly. Which I learned from Wikipedia.
Uh, yeah, Gmail beta was great...you got all the good mails and none of the bad ones (through magic). Today, we all know that we're being watched (at least potentially, because, really, we're boring) for that spam protection that doesn't even take out all the trash anymore.
Will Twilight really still be a thing in 440 years? I pity the future...
Wait for the video to load...
Different direction. Also, for now the English claim the right to mock the French but the time will come for us to fill that role once more.
Great, just when people started to accept that birds usually aren't stupid enough for suicide by wind turbine (the exceptions (both among birds and humans) confirm the rule, of course).
The Baltic Sea's plenty dangerous without magic. So it might just be water. I wonder, though, of what quality...
Nope, that comes from Spa, Belgium. Which likely traces its name to some other Latin roots.
And then comes the day when the contained AI learns to talk its operator into giving it access...
Why would the mostly secret church invading us care about such little things as constitutions?
Is it because of the horribly dated future tech lingo? I've read it and I know my way around computers. When it came to tech, I had almost no idea what anyone was talking about.
The crab one is horrible. If you knew how to do it, you wouldn't need a specialist, would you?
Heard this story in multiple versions (figured it out myself the first time, in 4th grade, I think). Loved it when one of my teachers told it as an example of how bad education was back then, even if you went to school, considering the teacher's inability to do basic math.
I did know. Well, the problem about high-energy, low-thrust propulsion isn't that they don't work in orbital transfer and extraorbital flight, trouble is they won't get off the ground. So you still need the thrust to take off and to leave the atmosphere, that's when low acceleration starts to work.
Science isn't a democracy. On the other hand, most scientists are smart (and not paid enough to disagree with strong evidence).
Love that one. Wish I had that list on a pocket-sized card (then again, I wouldn't be able to read it).
