auto_pointer'n'pin is comming into world use, which is good for preventing fraud in cardholder present transactions, only problem is cardholder not-present transactions which thanks to the internet have become one of the major sources of credit card fraud. When will I get a auto_pointer'n'pin device for my PC? Something inside me just doesn't think entering my pin into vesa's website is a good idea, least not with the ammount of spoofing which goes on.
Patenting something is good, to protect inovation, if microsoft has created a invention which allows amazingly wierd complex data structures to be stored in a higherical structure easilly then they can patent that, but that wouln't be a patent on the XML file which stored the resulting structure.
This patent seems to be on the arragement of data, if that arangement was chosen so a specific process can work on the data then patent that process with the data arangement, if not then this patent is for one thing and one thing only, anti-competitive behaviour, and as such shouln't be granted.
There 100% within the law, I wouln't go so far to say there 100% in the right, my upbringing wasn't anything as limited as the girl you talk about but it has left me seriously damaged and a social outcast.
They should be getting there daughter exposed to society before she finds the internet when she's 18 and becomes a slashdot troll.
Have you played the official versions of scrabble available for the PC? The 2003 edition was horrid, playable yes but a good game with a easy and understandable interface its not. The 2005 edition looks to be much the same:/
Probably all this jumping down peoples throats when they try and write them which scares would be game developers off ever learning how to program board games properly.
I'm asuming he's refering to the notoriously bug ridden human computers of the 18th century, since computers when applied to the right job increased productivity and simplified the tasks they were put to.
I think the only times there arn't productivty gains when someones given a computer is when there job doesn't need a computer, or there job needs one and no one has trained them to use a computer.
This is probably news sprung up since over the begining of the month it was the '10th Annual International Conference on Needle-free and Auto Injectors'
I don't much like the sound of the extra.org, and can't see how it frees them from trademark issues, the FAQ only states they don't own the 'OpenOffice' trademark.
Digging around in forums has given me some very muddled answers relating to the ukrane and ripoff copies of openoffice being sold.
But they won't since it'll make them less money. They probably only bought out XP Starter to counter piracy and vendors choosing Lindows in the ultra-budget PC market.
I doubt microsoft are going to keep the development name 'longhorn' so a 'shorthorn' is off the cards totally, my guess is it'll probably be either windows 2006, or Windows.Net:)
Well, google gives out at 170! 7.3x10^306... somehow I doubt even the 128 bit version of the unix clock will survive to one billion nine hundred ninety-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine factorial.
I'm not a fuck-tard, and not entirely sure what one of those is but I asume it has something to do with scat play, which isn't one of my things at all, and I'd very much apreciate it if you'd not call me that in future.
I know he called up a person at Omega World Travel, the parent cmopany of Cruse.com, and I know that the person he talked to agreed to stop the unwanted emails being sent. In my opinion this was a pretty big longshot at stoping the emails, calling up the company which is sending them might have been a better idea.
I just signed up using yet another email account to there weekly emails, not recieved any verifications and most verification systems do send the emails immediately.
I'd asume there email verification system is broken, rather than there harvesting emails.
If someones pushing viagra from some domain name I've never head of, yes ok that's spam, when someones sending out weekly newsletters from there own servers, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Well my email isn't in any of those lists, I've had a spam email recieving email for years and just submitted it to there remove link, there responce: "Your email address is not on our mailing list."
To me it looks genuine, if I don't get any cruse emails in my spam email account I'll say it's probably totally genuine.
It's a bit like terrorism, the fear of spam is creating irrational fears in people. I'm not scared of spam, I've receved thousands to my email account, and though a mix of RBL's, SMTP protocol verification (lots of spam engines don't wait for the server to respond to there statements) and bayeasan filtering, I only recieve about one a week.
I am scared of people who have irrational fears though.
Apart from cruse.com isn't part of the spam industury, before the lawsuit the only thing they did wrong is not send emails saying 'Someone at 192.0.34.166 entered your email to signup to our weekly email of curse prices, if you wish to sign up please click here, if not ignore this email or click here' before adding people to the list.
Instead he makes loud legal noises, and demands money from cruise.com for the emails he didn't bother to use the automated remove function and prefered the very unreliable ask the parent company to do it. They see the legal demand for money, and send it to there lawyers to handle, who sue him to get them off there case for being stupid, they add to the stupidity by sueing him for 4 milion.
Hopfully the judge will dismiss both parties actions and make them pay there own legal costs, and perhaps give them both a telling off for abusing the legal process to gain money or quash media attention.
I doubt the BBC would leak it, after all they'd make more money if large numbers of people miss it when they put it on TV and are forced to buy DVD copies in the store to see the episodes they missed:)
I think they probably went a bit far putting shuffle in the name, they could have probably gotten away with it if they'd called it 'basterd child' or something:)
I've always found IMAP fantastic (properly configured, thousands of emails searchable instantly, from any email client anywhere in the world (if you use imaps or ssh tunnels), only downside is you need a machine to run it on, though if youve got more than one PC in the house, it's not a bad idea to put a 3rd one in to run a few network services, like email and file sharing.
I'd recomend for those without a limited budget to get a low-power machine, onboard video, slowest 90nm processor you can find, one hardisc with a backup medium eg cd/dvd rewriter, or two hardiscs for a raid etc, for those on a limited budget, any PC your friends or relatives want to get rid of:)
The US goverment gets to know all about the vunribilities in microsofts operating system before the rest of the world does, anyone think that'll make the other goverments in the world trust microsoft software more?
Slashdot Mirror
All we need is an auto_pointer'n'pin.

And then came Emacs... ok mabie your right.

There are historical accounts of Archimedes using a similar system, though likely much larger to set ships on fire.
Subject says pretty much everything, though DRM is just a challenge, it can never be impossible as the content has to be decoded at some stage.

Major uses seem to be vaccination and insulin.

I love google
Well I for one hope to be here on the 18th of May 2033 03:33:19. I'll be a bit miffed if I don't live to at least 70 :)

Yes he did: Sent a Certified Letter Demand for Payment dated 01/25/2005 Signed for January 31, 2005.
That one probably went to the legal department and not the web admin who runs the email list.

Someone put his email in the weekly newsletter box here here:
b ox@webguy.net
http://www.cruise.com/
And he couln't be bothered to remove himself with the link provided in the email (Subject: Weekly Cruise E-deals) here:
http://www.cruise.com/forms/emremove.asp?email=in
Instead he makes loud legal noises, and demands money from cruise.com for the emails he didn't bother to use the automated remove function and prefered the very unreliable ask the parent company to do it.

Well if you buy Intel's marketing it's not RISC it's EPIC ;)
It actually looks like a rather nice chip at first glance, but the market wants good x86 preformance not just a good looking design.

If they find him guilty they can always ship him to austrailia ;)
