If you work at a place where there's "Top Secret" information and espionage is a real possibility, having an encrypted connection to outside the office open is likely to set off more alarm bells and get you in a lot more trouble than visiting a blog site.

What self respecting scientist wouldn't go and examine the evidence? Because if it wasn't an asteroid strike... ... they may accidentally defrost Megatron!
I use Dreamhost and their email is accessible by webmail if desired. They use http://www.squirrelmail.org/squirrelmail. It's automatically set up at mail.yourdomain.com at works fairly well. They have a support wiki set up with their email and webmail config, with details on a bunch of different email clients. My customers I've set up with it like the flexibility of having both a desktop email client at the office and access to the webmail portion when they're away (One of my big customers is a used car dealership, so they're often off at auctions and whatnot).
From what I've heard (so take this with a grain of salt), people have problems with "big box" PC support if they've changed the OS even if the problem was obviously hardware related. I'm not sure if the same trend would occur if you change the distro, but if they offer the distro you want at least you'll get the proper hardware support you've paid for.
This problem with the patent system has been brought up many times before. Clerks without technical knowledge often let patents that shouldn't slip through. Sometimes patent trolls abuse this to extort companies into paying them royalties because it's either cheaper or because they don't have the money for the legal battle to fight it. This isn't one of those times. The prior art is obvious, the companies have the means to fight and probably would fight as it's part of their primary business model.
The only thing that makes any sense is that Microsoft is planning an AV package for Windows that includes this and they're trying to discourage any AV companies from coming after them over it. Still doesn't make much sense in that case.
I tend to agree. Leg grooves to make it easier to balance on my lap would be more beneficial for my off-desk use. Mind you I also have an old, heavy, widescreen laptop. Using it while balanced on one hand would be more a feat of strength than dexterity in my case. Even still I can't imagine using a light laptop in that way.
and iinm asus is pretty high end, isn't it? Asus has boards across the spectrum. I prefer their mid-high range stuff, but this page shows their breakdown of value-mainstream-highend boards (scroll to the bottom). I've had issues previously with the SiS chipsets, but that was 4 years ago so might not be relevant anymore.
Welcome to the misuse of buzzwords. Every time someone uses "Web portal", "Web 2.0", "Enterprise", "Synergy" without knowing the meaning an angels wings fall off, killing a kitten. A buzzword get picked up by the media, which then drives PR to use it as often as possible to describe their product whether it fits or not, which is then reported on by the media and the vicious cycle continues until the next buzzword hits.
Most people would consider google sky a "Web 2.0" app. It's an interactive web based application that seamlessly runs in your browser. WWT is much more similar to google earth. It requires downloading a separate application that runs autonomously from your browser and just happens to use the net for data.
1. Get your "Open" standard recognised
2. Get other companies to use your standard
3. ????

But in all seriousness, this is the next logical progression for the OOXML beast. They wouldn't have gone to the trouble of ramrodding OOXML through the standards process if they weren't going to try and leverage it somehow outside of being able to say they have an open standard. Using OOXML would cripple a multi-platform application, but that's not their problem. They've -always- tried to force people into their rut and they've been quite successful at it in the past. I just don't think they "get" that developers aren't going to shoot themselves in the foot by using OOXML.
That stupid law to which you refer is the reason Canadians are allowed to download music legally. It may not be "working as intended", but at least our judges let that double edged sword bite the music industry when it swung back at them. Uploading is illegal here, but that's easy enough to turn off on most BitTorrent/file sharing clients.
IANAL (or an American for that matter), but I thought US bases were similar to embassies in that they're considered "US soil" and fall under US laws or at least the internal US Military Law. Local laws can often be bizarre and even in contradiction to US laws and customs. Following them on base for each location just doesn't make sense to me.
If that's the case, they've (The armed forces) brought this on themselves. Porn isn't illegal, the soldiers are adults and they're away from their significant others (if they have one). Denying it to them in that situation is just asking for them to go underground for it.
Yes, but the updates in those cases probably aren't done as a critical update that basically gets shoved down the users' throats. There's likely a lot of people blindly installing SP3 when they get the pop up that could be in jeopardy of having their computer locked up on them. Those type of people also likely don't know how to fix something like that on their own, so they're going to have to fork over $80/hour for some teenager at Best Buy to tell them it can't be fixed and blow away their install.
Ok, big name companies/games like that -would- make a difference, but they have to be sure they'll make a profit before they do anything beyond proof of concept. How much money would have to go into Spore to make a production port for the iPhone? From what I know of ports (I helped do some minor alpha/beta testing of the Mac port of A Tale in the Desert http://atitd.com/), there's a lot involved in even a simple project with limited hardware like the iPhone.
Apple had troubles getting big name games/companies to make Mac ports, so I'm hesitant to think they'll all jump on board for iPhone ports when the market there is smaller and the chance for profit slimmer.
While there are a lot of iPhone users now, I wouldn't call developing mobile games solely for their own hardware a big "Push Into Gaming". Unless they develop games for all mobile devices (highly impractical) or get mainstream games to run on their mobile hardware (not sure on the feasibility of this), it's going to be very niche.
It depends. The pictures don't seem to have the mirrors yet, but if they're mounted where the front wheels are they'd give a good view since the tires seem farther out than the wings when folded. Basically the same as the extended mirrors on vehicles pulling wide trailers.

If they get challenged prior art is obvious in this case and it wouldn't last 5 minutes if MS tried to extort them using it.

This also looks similar to this special forces stealth wing glider that I heard about recently. The obvious difference is the jets.
Very nice headache solver for a problem I've been recently having with Ubuntu 10.04 and XP. If you weren't already I'd mod you up more. Thanks.
