Cornell University Sues Hewlett Packard

The alleged infringement covers HP processors manufactured from 1995 to the present. How common is it for big universities to get involved in lawsuits like this?"

    I just crawled around the site a bit, and the only search I could find was for classifieds or to get a new house. Why does a news paper site not have a search feature? What if I wanted to see what else may have been covered by this paper on this subject? I see the link on the site's main page to the article referenced, and I even tried things like http://www.theithacajournal.com/search/ or http://www.theithacajournal.com/search.html and I got their "We're Sorry The page you are looking for could not be found. It may have been removed, or is otherwise unavailable." message and it even has such nice searches for careers, cars, and classifieds, but not what I'm looking for.

      Ithaca is a town of about 40,000, down to about 15,000 when school is out like now. Give us a break, we're ghetto, ok? Besides, I find the site-specific search engines suck (and are more trouble than they are worth to implement). Just use google and restrict the domain (click on the "advanced" tab... does it piss anyone else off that "stuff that will screw you up if you are intent on messing with things that you don't understand" is always called "advanced," at least in the windows (and now the web) world?)

    Ok. Last time I checked HP DIDN'T make mainstream CPUs. What CPU's do they make, if any. Oh. The kernel to XP is _NOT_ the linux kernel. NT has been around since 1993. Linux 1994. Kind of hard to use linux for NT when Linux didn't exist.
