How long should it have taken? Is there some standard for how long a new language and VM are supposed to take to implement?

You are kidding, right? The NSA collecting call data (and maybe monitoring traffic) without a warrent is a violation of federal law. Seeing that this is domestic, how could it be putting our troops in danger?!?
Honestly, if you are worried about the troops and their safety, work to bring them home. The madman who was selected (not elected) has put more of them in harms way out of some sense of Dr. Evil-esque vision than any reporter asking the questions that need to be asked in a democracy.

Maybe this is just a phantom project that the French govt has decried in order for Google to just simply waste their money trying to beat, or maybe even solve the problems for them?
Not putting a timeframe on the project is just inviting the pointless qualities of something that in this day and age could come and go within 5 years. And if they know this why are they wasting their time and money on something so grand that may even be commonplace in 5 years time?
Or maybe it could prove the brilliance of google and the market.

Journal Journal: Space Shuttle Landing Delay
Given that today is Monday, the original scheduled date of Discovery's landing, and NASA has postponed the landing due to weather - which is inclement only in the slightest - I propose a theory on their actual intent. NASA, by changing the date is effectively changing the landing site. Why could they really be doing this?

Journal Journal: Return to the Moon
I just wanted to comment on the speech that President Bush gave today about the future of our space program, NASA. I watched the speech a few different times (DVR) and I have to say that I was genuinely touched at his sincerity and interest in the forthcoming plans he has prepared for the expansion and focus of our space agency here in the US. Now, it probably was not all of his idea, but I believe in his speech for the following reasons:
Journal Journal: Nirvana
This album is what you get when you put a tortured poet who worships the true history of rock together with THE great rock drummer of our age, and a bass guitar purist who loves all instruments into the end of a hysterical decade. A triad that supplanted the might of The Beatles in our modern, numb, and overexposed reality. Their focused efficiency at playing together united the forces of a pure truth in a balance of emotions - pain, rage, and only a dimly reflecting hope. It was as if on thi

I am writing in my journal this full-moon-night for no other reason than Mars, the red planet. Knowing that it is as close as it has ever been in 60,000 years brings so many starlights to my thoughts that had to be written.
Journal Journal: Terrorists
I find it hard to believe that a terrorist tried in Germany would only get 15 years of jail-term sentencing. In this report at The NY Times, the story goes very simply this man got off easy. I cannot believe that being a direct member of an Al Qeada cell and ties very strongly to the September 11 attacks would get you only 15 years in prison.
