Wouldn't something like this (microscopically etched / electroformed solid nickel) be even better? You could include instructions for creating a microscope to read it in large print on the other side...
Why else would they need to bring it back
To install a different sensor package? To put it into a different orbit? I can think of many reasons, after all the whole point of the X-37 is that it can land and be re-used for different mission profiles.
it's Microsoft that might have the most logical solution for typing on small size displays running Google's Android Wear platform. Microsoft's research division has built an analog keyboard prototype for Android Wear that eliminates the need to tap at tiny letters, and instead has you write them out.
Why would you want to type at all? There's reasonably good voice recognition now, that's got to be better than trying to finger-paint letters on a tiny watch screen?
Simple things like a complex form, which would be trivial with a grid (and are trivial with tables) are an epic pain with CSS layouts.
Sure in the pre-IE8 days it was a pain, but now it's trivial to do
Then we found out about the 450C sulfuric acid clouds, the molten tin lakes and the almost solid atmosphere...
It's pretty nice at 50km up though...
But then, the first iPhone wasn't 3G either...
There's already a word for them, "Roadable Aircraft"
I wish they'd stop calling roadable aircraft "flying cars".
Flying car: Something that allows you to take off from your home and fly directly to your destination.
Roadable aircraft: An aircraft that you can drive to and from local airports.
It's good for people who already fly light aircraft (no more worrying about transport once you fly to your destination), useless for the rest of us.
I think the licence to operate an aircraft might be just a teensy bit harder to get than the licence to operate a car...
Nix their entire search query?
perhaps that is in the evidence somewhere and just didn't make the summary.
Yes, having read TFA there are some statements that ex-employees made:
The opinion also took note of the testimony of ex-Grooveshark employees who testified on behalf of the record companies. They explained how their bosses ordered them to acquire "the most popular and current songs" and upload them into the Grooveshark system.
As well as this:
"Escape openly acknowledged that their business plan was to exploit popular label content in order to grow their service and then 'beg forgiveness' from the plaintiffs and seek licenses," wrote Griesa.
So that coupled with the email seems to make it beyond reasonably doubt that the email was referring to downloading copyrighted music rather than looking for public domain music.

Whoops, actually meant MR16, but yeah 12v halogen replacements.
every one that I've purchased - from multiple companies - has burned out prematurely
Did you buy the cheapest, crappiest ones you could find or something? My house has a total of 21 Phillips GU10 and 4 Megaman MR11 (yes they're a real company) bulbs, all 6W (50W equiv) dimmable, and not a single one has failed in 3 years, including the ones in the bathroom (so hello high humidity and temperature swings).
They're all modern warm white LEDs, they work fine on standard dimmers, and the light quality is indistinguishable from the halogen spotlights they replaced. My living room has the equivalent of 1000W of light for just 60W worth of LEDs.
"A robot is an automatic mechanical device
Quite a serviceable definition, and it covers what they are doing.
But there's nothing automatic about their model; They manually attached it to a water hose to fill it, manually released it, and relied on fixed fins to provide passive stability.
Sure the technology can be used on robots in the future, but this proof-of-concept model is as robotic as a water bottle rocket.
No man is an island if he's on at least one mailing list.
