It doesn't matter. Krayon (a vector drawing program) does not play in the same space as Crayola's product (little wax sticks that you can draw with). Perhaps you could argue that the end result is the same (kinda), but I think you would have a hard time arguing that they are confusingly similar. Adobe had a legitimite beef when they complained that KIllustrator was an infrigment because they were programs with essentialy the same functionality with KDE's version simply prepending a K. No such problem with Krayon. Besides, anyone who downloads Krayon and expects litle wax sticks to come out of the floppy drive gets what they deserve.:)
Yeah, but to get any sort of memory using only NAND's you have to resort to combinational feedback, which is icky.
Q = !(Qbar + Set)
Qbar = !(Q + Reset)
Works in practice (sort of), but a mathamatician would have a fit!
It's not that battery technology is lacking for R&D efforts, it's that batteries are what you might consider a "mature" technology. For the most part the basic design of batteries has barely changed in close to 100 years. Expecting improvements anywhere close to what you see in the semiconductor industry is rather unreasonable. It would be like asking car manufacturers to double the mileage of internal combustion engines every 2 years.
Um, I think perhaps that you meant "self-effacing", as in he modest about his accomplishments. Of course, I did have a good laugh envisioning Linus carving a Windows logo onto his chest or some other act of hideous defacement.
The future lies in optical technology. The reason for this: Any drive in which the heads physically come in contact with the storage media is prone to failure.
Sorry bub, but the heads in a HD never, ever touch the media. When this does happen it is called a "head crash" and is generally considered to be a Bad Thing(tm) because your HD is now a brick.
Sticks, knifes, etc. all have other, ligitimate, uses. Guns have only one use, and that is to fataly injure a human being. There is no other reason to own a gun. People who use your argument tend to be clutching at NRA provided straws.
Guns can be used for defensive purposes. This is in fact, their only legitimate use. (Aside from hunting, target shooting, etc...) BTW I do not own a gun, nor am I a member of the NRA, but I want the right to own a gun should I choose to do so.
The fact that you, and other pro-gun owners like you, also seem to think that the Government will turn around and start to attack you if you don't own Guns, shows that you are mentally dilusional, and therefore should be excluded from owning a gun in the first place.
I don't think that my government is out to get me. I'm not building a bunker in my backyard or stockpiling weapons. Things change though, not that I'm expecting it to happen, but it could.
Some people choose to interpret this to mean that they have a right to own a lethal firearm that is capable to inflicting serious injuries and death. A tool that in the wrong hands, is capable of removing another human beings right to life.
A big stick could kill someone too. Should we make those illegal?
A rational person should be able to read this in the manner in which it was intended. They will be able to understand that "a well regulated malitia" does not describe the general population of The United States of America. It does, of course, refer to a Government Controlled Army, Navy and Airforce.
Oh, I love this one, your implication that anyone that doesn't agree with you is not rational. BTW do you even know what a militia is?
1. An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers. 2. A military force that is not part of a regular army and is subject to call for service in an emergency. 3. The whole body of physically fit civilians eligible by law for military service.
Check your facts before telling us "rational" people what to think.
They clearly fail to realise that they have mis-interpreted the meaning of the 2nd Amendment, using it in such a way as to satisfy their child like need to own a lethal firearm. They choose to ignore the overwhelming statistics that show that gun related accidents, including those that resulted in death, are exponentially higher in the United States of America, than in countries with sensible gun control policies.
Oh, so now we're children? You're such a sweet talker... What statistics, and what power are we raising them too? Sensible? You mean like England where no one has a gun except the government? Great, that's just what we need, totally disarm the people so that they can't defend themselves. Yes, even from the government, this becomes neccessary from time to time. You know the old saying "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns"? It's true. Another thing, why are you continually prefaceing "firearm" with lethal? A gun is a tool just like any other. If you misuse it, it can be dangerous but this is true for just about anything you name.
These people are the enemies of the United States of America
Just because a minority disagree, does not mean that they are having their basic human rights taken away from them. If that were the case, the Klan would be able to argue it's their basic human right to set fire to black people
Um, I think not. As long as we're talking about America here (and only because these rights are explicity stated in our Constitution. I, and many others would argue that the rights below are the basis for any civilized government), black people, like all citizens have a right to life that cannot be infringed.
I would have the right to steal Dr. Pepper from the store whenever I couldn't afford it, and the legal system would just fall to pieces.
Wrong again, people have a right to property. If you steal you go to jail. End of story.
Perhaps something I've never really noticed about American xenophobia before, and it's only just clicked for me in the/. context.
Huh? From here on in you stop making sense entirely.
I bet this doesn't get touched by the moderators, or if it does it will be negative.
Perhaps, but I don't believe in moderating ignorance.
CD's as coasters suck. Believe me, I've tried it as I'm sure many of you have. That little hole in the middle combined with no rim around the edge just makes them totally useless as coasters. After a burning mishap that disc (or some equally worthless CD like AOL or Yanni) is only useful for excercising your destructive tendences.
I don't know if that clause was in there from the beginning but if it wasn't then IANAL but I don't think that Verant has a leg to stand on. Otherwise it's like saying "Here, buy this program under this license." but then later coming back with "Oh, sorry there are some bugs in the software we sold you. This patch will fix it but first you have to agree to this, this, and this." I've never played the game but I assume that if you don't have the lastest patch you can't connect to their servers. So this amounts to you being forced to agree to the new terms, toss the game in the trash, OR make an emulator!:)
Aw crap. That wasn't supposed to happen. Mozilla is giving me some grief right now. Lets try that again....
Just think: If companies could not turn a profit...
Then nothing would be produced. What would be the motivation? Some nebulous desire for the advancement of the common good? Something like this could occur in the presence of perfect competition that would drive profits quite low but not to zero. Such a mandate (governmental I assume) would be disasterous.
Reno is one of several officials who have publicly criticized the FBI's choice of names for the new system. The agency decided to name it Carnivore because, as one official put it, the system "get(s) to the meat" of a investigation. But one top FBI official said the name had been intended only for internal use and conceded that criticism of the name had been "somewhat sobering." "We'll think further about that in the future," he said.
Ok, so the lesson they learned here is what? That the next program to invade the rights of the people should have a more innocuous name so maybe we won't notice?
Meaning that if you get a piece of OSS for free and it doesn't work or causes some damage to your system then your pretty much out of luck unless you can prove that the faulty code was malicously placed. On the other hand if your purchase OSS software from someone who has repackaged it then you have an expectation of quality and the seller should be liable for it. Of course this isn't even the case for closed source commercial programs these days. Especially "shrinked-wrapped" software that often comes with disclaimers against liability should their software to really nasty things like burn down your house or trigger the apocalypse.
