Re:Basis for discrimination
Ultimately, the companies that hire Infosys should pay for this outrageous behavior. What other strategy will yield the fastest end to this degradation of American workers?
...or even, put a stop to the entire H1B visa abomination? Here's a list of Infosys Clients.Pick one at random. How about: Kellogg's? (They have such a homey, "All-American" brand image, don't they?)
Make them pay: Shame them, give them bad publicity, DESTROY THEIR BRAND -- do anything legal & necessary to make them drop Infosys as a vendor, permanently.

Let me deconstruct the ribbon patentHowever, you cannot copy graphics and icons (unless they're standard icons). This limits the effectiveness of a "copy" of someone else's interface. If they're not standard icons, then users won't notice that they've been redrawn from scratch, and those users who do notice can be retrained: "To open the Start menu, click the K instead of the colorized Wheatables cracker". The first would, of course, be patents MS most definitely holds on the ribbon. I tried Access 2007's ribbon once, and it was pretty much just a tabbed toolbar. The bottom panel of Blender 3D modeling software has something very close to a ribbon. Do you have the numbers of these patents so that I can try deconstructing their claims?

Re:And in other news...
Are suggesting that these people think the strawberry is? I don't know if that is the most ridiculous thing I have every heard, or the saddest.
While Chocolate S'mores actually contains more fat and salt they contain less sugar, more protein, as well as magnesium and copper. Neither strawberry or S'mores contain any Vitamin C. Based on this information the only reason to choose strawberry over S'mores its lower fat content. S'mores are actually slightly more nutritious.
While I'm sure they are fortified with vitamins and minerals, they have about the same nutritional value as an energy bar. They cost less than your average engery bar at about 40cents/unit.
They are not recommended for unsupervised children because they present a fire hazard in toasters. Pop-Tarts are a perfect in the event of a natural disaster because they are a high energy food that can be used to start fires in a pinch.

Re:Coffee, beer, what's next?
Try these. They're made of mostly egg whites and soy protein. Before you judge them too harshly, give them a shot. They really taste great, as long as you cook them just right (burn very easily), with a little bit of olive oil.

Re:How about the smell
Actually, I really don't like the smell (let alone the taste) of coffee. Any kind of coffee, even the stuff they have over in Europe. I am addicted to something in the morning, and I can't wait to get me some of it, it's called Crispix. I go through a large box of the stuff in about 5 days. It used to cost me $5.00/box when I lived in the Bay area, so that was like a dollar a day in cereal. I swear they must put crack in it or something. I'm hooked...

Spider-hype and Katz
Look Jon -- It's a convenient device to raise the battle between Spider-man and AotC to the level of culture-shifting battles between one kids generation and the next.
But to say that Lucas has a lock on marketroid obsession and that the Stan Lee clan hasn't tried to "shroud Spider-man in market hype", and that that's why Spider-man is winning the hearts of all the little Generation X++ers, isn't just wishful thinking... it's plain wrong.
For breakfast this morning, I had Kellog's Spider-man cereal. (Honestly. I really did.) It tasted just like Cap'n Crunch Berries, but it sure looked like little spider webs. I could have tried the Spider-man Pop-tarts or Rice-Krispies, but I was in the mood for something a little sweeter.
After breakfast I signed up for the new Spider-man Cingular account that I saw lots of cool commecials for, and entered to win a custom Spider-man Dodge Viper.
Then I popped over to Wal-mart to pick up the new Spider-man game, and found out I could get a free trip to Universal Studios, complements of Sam Walton! For lunch I "swung into Carl's Jr" or did I "drop into Hardee's" for a quick Spider-man burger, and washed it down with a Spider-man Dr. Pepper, which I became a big fan of ever since I heard they were racing a Spider-man Dr. Pepper car in the NASCAR Busch Series.
The amazing thing is, even the marketing press is completely aware of what Sony Pictures is doing with Spider-man. Why aren't you? -
Re:IAAT. Pipe dream: Fund the Grass roots
IANAT, but IAAB (I am a biologist/bioinformaticist).
Your points are valid. I'm struck, however, by the similarity with opinions once expressed about the Human Genome Project (HuGeP).
Many biomedical scientists were rationally skeptical---"but even a trained molecular biologist can only sequence N base pairs a year!"---when it (the HuGeP) was proposed. As biology becomes more oriented towards "grandiose" projects like this we (biologists) may find ourselves eating our own words more frequently.
Big science/technology done with proper financial and political backing has demonstrated time again that the "impossible" is usually just bloody difficult---or just bloody difficult to imagine. We've put men on the moon, simulated the Big Bang, tunnelled through mountains, sustained Moore's Law for decades and now we can even lose up to 6lbs in two weeks(TM) eating a tasty cereal.
You also describe the aftermath of mega-taxonomy hunts and it sounds a lot like the problems people are now having recruiting enough good bioinformaticists to help biologists and medics make the most of the fruits of the various genome projects. -

and Frosted Flakes!!!Can they copyright my Frosted Flakes brand breakfast cereal? I would be very worried if they could copyright Frosted Flakes brand breakfast cereal. After all, only the syrupy-sweet taste of Frosted Flakes brand breakfast cereal can get me up in the morning.

Re:Genetic engineering and Y2KHobart, TAS, Australia 22 Nov 1999 Following research published in the respected international computing journal Slashdot, the cereal research group Genetic Engineering Examiners (Kelloggs) from Kelloggs (the capital of crunch) are cutting through the FUD and evaluating the effect of genetic engineering on their fine range of products (including such favourites as Special K, All Bran and the Aussie breakfast "Wheat Bix").
Aim:
To examine the effect of Y2K on cereal products.
Method:
The following standard Y2K tests were applied:
- Date rollover - both GM and "organic" products were sent forward to Y2K and examined as the date rolled over. Detractors argue that since the grain can't be bought back in time again, we won't know until it's too late anyway.
- Black Box testing - samples of grain were sealed in a box which was then painted black. None of them sprouted. Detractors claim that this is a pointless test.
- Source Code examination - a group of underpaid West Coast Tasmanians (used because they have 2 heads) spent hours cutting open seeds and poking around inside looking for evidence of 2 digit dates. Detractors claim that the researchers were innumerate, and wouldn't recognise a date if they saw it growing on a palm tree in an oasis
A cost benefit analysis of the likelyhood of lawsuits from poisoned consumers shows that the likelyhood of surviving the poisoning is low enough and the costs of using organic grains high enough that there is a higher profit expecation in doing nothing.
Executive Recommendations:
- Produce a movie about people being poisoned by GM foods with a plot full of holes and a romantic sideplot.
- Create "community groups" which make clearly false claims about how planting a GM crop will make butterflies in China flap their wings and throw around buzzwords like "Chaos".
- If anybody raises valid concerns, lump them in with the above and laugh at them.
- Buy Organic "Vita Brits" for breakfast instead of "Wheat Bix".
