If the patent was filed in '97 and you have prior art from "the early 90's", that's not decades: that's years. To qualify prior art in terms of decades, please find the uses prior to 1977.
I know what you meant to say. Why not just say it?
My company maintains a database of past IDs and their owners for forensic & audit purposes. (That database is not used for authentication.)
This is a really good, and should be one of the first lessons taught, lesson in application design. Your authentication database should be used only for that. A related identity table should do the trick.
At least 0 was still 0 so a rogue launch was impossible thanks to Boeing and Autonetics! Amusingly (and not surprisingly), Autonetics went on to be part of Rockwell, now part of Boeing.
Not that bad an idea. You generally need iTunes to use and iPod, right? And each iPod must have a unique identifier (presumably for DRM among other reasons), right?
Well, you could register your iPod as stolen and the next usage connected to iTunes could be noted by Apple. Then either a lo-jack scenario ensues OR your iPod gets locked with a "stolen ipod" screen.
Of course there are liabilities, jurisdictional, law enforcement, and practical reasons why this would be a no go. But it could be done.
Read Neal Stephenson's, "The Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer". And while your at it, read everything by Neal Stephenson. It's been mentioned round here by others.
Seems like many of the posters above hit the head right on the mark. And to paraphrase Enoch Root in Cryptonomicon, "Why are you building it?" If you can tell me why you are building it, then a natural demo application will flow from there...
Well, not exactly shareholder outrage. Target wants you to buy something today and come back tomorrow when you need something else. So, Target notes that you purchase your Jockey's at Walmart. At checkout time (like grocery affinity programs) you get a coupon for 10% off your next purchase of Cherokee-brand underwear.
One BIG advantage that DirecTV w/TiVo has is the ability to record two shows at once.
Can the Direct TV Digital Satellite Recorder with TiVo record two shows at once?
Yes, the Direct TV Digital Satellite Recorder can record two shows at once. In fact, it can even record two shows while you watch a third, previously recorded show. To take full advantage of this feature, you'll need to ensure that two (2) satellite inputs from a dual-LNB Direct TV System dish antenna are connected to the Direct TV Digital Satellite Recorder.

Must be a newer model. We have a 2000 running 3.4.772 (US) and it does not have SSH capabilities.

I'm really sorry to have wasted all my mod points on +1 Funny.
At that speed, he didn't hit the brakes because he was about 174 meters away from impact, nearly two blocks away.
How many paper discs would you need to fit the Library of Congress? Oh, nevermind.
The first cheats are already available on KaZaa.

Make sure you take a good picture...of the closest street sign.

Is there a psychological term related to getting your stories rejected on slashdot?

Google was no help...in translating this article into English.

A wish is a dream that eBay makes...
And based on the example above, I can't think of a worse lawsuit target for a working stiff than a law firm.
Ah, yes. That'd do it. I've been biding my time, waiting for just the right benefit. LOL.

The only issue I can point out is that companies usually carry Errors and Omissions insurance, not individuals, because the company is liable.
Agreed. And, what better thing to blame than the Patriot Act? "I'm sorry sir. We can't help you because of (the Patriot Act|Jim Crow laws)."
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
If only my sig could be longer, that would be it. Thanks.
My boss has always wanted "bandwidth VU meters" to spotcheck resource usage here. Any suggestions? (Other than Google?)

Can't do this with regular TiVo.
