Good question. I'm more interested in if they're going to ask observers to wear "alien" costumes while they film it. A few years from now, after the "landing" on the moon, they show their footage of the moon "landing" with the "aliens" who happened to be there and tell Congress that they need more money to investigate these "aliens". After all, NASA has learned their lesson from the first fake...I mean the first landing.
"This significant financial backing is positive news for SCO's customers, partners and resellers who continue to request upgrades and rely upon SCO's UNIX services to drive their business forward," he said.
In other words, when their contracts with SCO expire, they better be prepared to bend over and spread'em wide. The Norris Capital Partners did not get into this to loose money. They have a plan and no, I seriously doubt it is based on profiting off of litigation. Any money that is received from litigation will be just icing on the cake.
This can be a huge opportunity for you Linux vendors out there. Just saying.
Unless you think that the US's reason is better because it's the US, and China's worse, because it's China.
I do. China was the one who broke the unwritten rule not to militarize space. China shot down that satellite for one reason only: to show the US that if need be, our spy satellites would be toast. There's no reason to shoot down a satellite. It would have to be HUGE for it not to burn up in the atmosphere or even for something to be left for forensics. We, as the World, are now headed down the path of wars being fought in space - no thanks to China.
The theatrical debut of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is only the beginning of all-new Star Wars adventures that continue in the fall when the long-awaited television series premieres on Cartoon Network, followed by airings on TNT.
And..."Nothing like this has ever been produced for television," said Stuart Snyder, President/COO Turner Animation,Young Adults & Kids Media.
"With a new story each week, Star Wars: The Clone Wars continues the tradition of thrilling stories, astonishing visuals and extraordinary music that have always been the hallmarks of the Star Wars Saga.
Predictable shit ripped off from other movies - nothing original - but I guess the kids haven't seen anything like it. But hey, WTF do I know, I haven't made billions of dollars making movies to advertise toys and other merchandising.
That's what I get for not learning the Schwartz! I need to look up Yogurt and see if he'll take me on as a padiwan?!
But, unlike the Apple, Lenovo's new skinny ThinkPad comes with a hefty complement of ports and features, some of the very things critics complained Apple left out.
Maybe, Apple knows what its customers want and builds their machines for what most of their customers and not for the critics? And, well looky there, you can configure the machine to include those features. Why does everything have to be built in? And the Thnkpad is making compromises to have those things built in. God!
Not that I'm a fanboy or anything, it's just that these tech "journalists" piss me off sometimes.
this is an example of why there needs to be IP law reform. I'm NOT saying it needs to be eliminated: just reformed. Tolkien, as far as I know, is dead. Why is his IP still owned? Why hasn't his stuff gone into public domain?
The reason for IP is to give the creators an incentive to create, not for the folks who buy the rights to profit off of them for all eternity.
I've seen that. It's very interesting. I think what's really ironic is that the tobacco companies have done a similar study (This is the closest I could find after several pages of Google hits) a few years ago and it was a PR disaster for them. But now, a similar study regarding obesity has come to the same conclusion that early death benefits society but without the PR disaster. Interesting isn't it?
Walmart customers, I think if we can get them walking with these on, we'll solve all of our energy needs! Think about it. The entire country powered by fat, Cheetoes, Doritoes, Beer, etc.... And, with all of these large folks walking, they'll be in better health and therefore reduce the burden on our health care system ( one of the biggest expenses the Medicare has to deal with is kidney dialysis because folks fry their kidneys from hypertension. ).
...which was discovered when a distressed farmer showed up at the University of Wisconsin's ag school with a bucket of blood from a dead heifer (the pattern continues) and wanted to know what had happened.
Dude, I mean, come on! Yeah, some farmer's wives are pretty big and obese and it's going to be that way for a while, but to call them heifers?
You can't win Google and Yahoo! when you play by evil rules. China is an evil communist regime that suppresses their people and ideas. Kudos for trying to do business with them and it may help the Chinese people, but when you cater to the evil, you will get bit in the ass.
I think the whole desktop thing is as pure and simple as market penetration and the only folks bitching about the desktop usability are techies who are looking for a reason other than simple marketing. MS still controls the market and they have the penetration into the corp desktop and most machines come with their OS. So of course most folks are going to use them. Who the hell wants to remove the OS that came with the machine - even if a new one is free.
That's not the only thing. Apparently his guy has a problem with others stealing his ideas. I always thought Peter Norton invented the Norton Anti virus. What, now you're going to tell me that he's not related to Ed Norton?
Dude, good try at Karma Whoring! Especially with, "We have the Telcos and CableCos making it worse by violating net neutrality." That was good. You mentioned "Net Neutrality". Here's my suggestion. Say," I bought a Mac and voted for all politicians that want Net Neutrality and I run Linux on ALL other boxes! Ron Paul 2008!"
Give the corporations researching these cures tax rebates.
They are able to deduct the R&D costs directly.
Government research is needed for the diseases that are rare and therefore wouldn't be profitable for a corp to R&D medication for it - even with the deductions factored in. I can understand your point and agree with much of it. Either way, you either have politicized R&D with the Government or profit motivated corporate research. Both aren't perfect by themselves but together they can cover much more ground than if there was only one research funding avenue.
The new budget includes no funding for the National Children's Study,... the overall discretionary budget for the Department of Health and Human Services would decline by 2% in the president's request.
Bush is anti-children! Would someone please think of the children and fund science!!
That'll shame him and Congress into getting more money!
Spokesmen for the National Reconnaissance Office have stated that they would prefer the hobbyists not publish their information, and suggest that foreign countries try to hide their activities when they know an eye in the sky will be passing overhead.
And:"If Ted can track all these satellites," Mr. Pike said, "so can the Chinese."
That's damn straight. WTF is it with Government when they say shit like this? What, they think the rest of the World is too stupid to do this? Or photos in the airports by security. I got news for the Government: there are folks out there that have great memories and can draw. Go through security, look around, and then draw what you saw when you sit down and no one will no any different.

You've never dealt with Wall Street, have you? Look into "arbitrage". Hell, look into all of their business practices.
Dude! You're missing the point! Your phrasing....you made it sound sooo technical and Sci-Fi!
I watched the robot video and if it were me, that robot would be humping its hips making the energizer bunny look like a slackard!
Dude! Write for Star Trek!

It's a religion; therefore, I guarantee it isn't accurate.

Go from there with your own creativity.
