From reading the patent, it could pertain to IRC or a BBS. Those would definitely be prior art. Let's hope the judge has some common sense and denies the lawsuit. Although with how technologically savvy judges appear to be, it will be a long drawn out court case with a plethora of experts trying to explain the technologies involved.
From the Pentagon press release an old adage similar to that of mother's across the world: "I brought the Internet into this world, I can take it out!"
So I store the data from the other partition off to a flash drive. Now how do I retrieve the 10GB used for the drive back without having to reformat? If I reformat then I lose all my saved game data, downloaded games, demos, themes, etc. If I back up everything and reinstall it then the partition remains. I didn't use the other OS option that often so it's not that big of a deal with me to not have it anymore. However, I should be able to retrieve the 10GB on the other OS partition and join it to the main partition without much hassle. This is beginning to sound as if I'll just lose the 10GB, unless I want to reformat and lose all my saved game data.
I feel sorry for those people who share her name. They are going to have this stigma with them whenever they try and find a job. I guess if I shared her name and looking for a new job I would place on my resume that I am not that Trina Thompson. It would be funny if all the other Trina Thompsons could file a class action lawsuit on this one for defamation.
if I can get out of tickets using this excuse. "But officer, I was being a jerk so I wouldn't create a traffic jam. Here's the study. Read it yourself!"
Although it would be great to have a home theater or a sport's stadium with all this technology, I see the most benefit going to hospitals and research buildings. It would lead to great detail of the area they are examining, scanning or performing surgery on.
Just don't imagine a doctor performing a colonoscopy and watching it on the this kind of screen.
On Mother's Day, my mom was asking about how much I pay for my cell phone bill and how many telemarketing calls I receive on a daily basis. She seemed truly interested in ditching the landline. So I had to remind her that without a landline the security system installed in their house will not function properly. Needless to say that ended that conversation. Security systems, such as ADT, require a house to have a landline. So until they change their practices and allow for VOIP or some other telecommunication avenue, the landlines will not be going away.
Who is the RIAA trying to represent? They say that they are representing the five major music labels. And in turn the music labels say that they are representing the artists themselves. But even the artists don't agree with the RIAA's methodologies.
"According to the study, 60 percent of those surveyed do not believe the RIAA's efforts to halt file sharing through lawsuits will benefit musicians and songwriters.
Additionally, 35 percent believe free downloading has helped their careers, 37 percent believe it has not had any effect and only 5 percent believe it has exclusively hurt their careers. Of those interviewed, 83 percent have provided free samples of their music online."
and then you have Greatest Hits albums which are a collection of popular tunes by one artist randomly placed on one album with no respect for tracks that appeared before and after the popular track.
Mute should team up with Bonzi Buddy or Gator or whatever else they want to so that unsuspecting people will be using Mute in the background to increase adoption and speed up the downloads.
The is no carrier state, because the natural reservoir of the virus is unknown. Ebola is a level 4 pathogen. Contrast that with AIDS which is only a level 2 pathogen.
Granted, the methods of dispersion are correct except that Ebola Reston is spread through airborne particles. Ebola Reston only affects primates currently but if the virus mutates then it can affect humans.
This is a vaccine and the article points out that they have dismantled the parts of the Ebola strain that would induce the symptoms but it wasn't so long ago that we used live polio virus as a vaccine. We may know a lot about the DNA of Ebola and hopefully we are intelligent enough to determine which base pairs to remove.
Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf (the Iraqi Minister of Information) must be alive for statements like this, "Plaintiff will suffer irreparable harm to its business reputation and loss of its good will, unless the status quo is maintained. Should the Defendants, be allowed to continue their assault upon the Plaintiff and the Plaintiff's industry, the Plaintiff's industry will cease to exist. This will cause more Americans to become unemployed." but then desires a permanent injunction again the defendants, which would cause more Americans to become unemployed as well, but that's not stated.
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103%? Here's a little math that might prove helpful. What makes life 100%? Want to know the secret?
If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z are represented as their corresponding number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then, H A R D W O R K 8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98%

But, A T T I T U D E 1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%
And, B U L L S H I T 2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%
So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top.

If you press semicolon ( ; ) while driving a vehicle it will play the horn! There is a different horn sound for each vehicle.
Also, if you bind a key to 'playvehiclehorn 1' it will play a second, slightly more funny horn for each vehicle. Do that by entering:
set input "key" playvehiclehorn 1
At the console, where "key" is whatever key you want to bind it to.
CNN is reporting that the Spirit rover has failed to transmit data from Mars for 24 hours. At least Hubble is still working.
