Thus a university laboratory that received federal research grants could not discriminate, but the same university's history department that got no cash from Washington could. Legislators howled that the court...
...thus significantly cutting down computing time. IBM's decision to support a major parallel-processing supercomputer project is a sign that technology is headed in that direction. Says H.T.

AT&T Bell Laboratories is expected to introduce a new parallel-processing computer at the American Physical Society meeting in New Orleans this week...

Says he: "We have stuff in our labs that may not see the light of day for years. Because we haven't patented it, does that mean it's not worthy science?" Also, companies often decide against registering an important invention...
