I haven't read their patent through, but from what I read in the story and your posts, the patent covers "text and graphics on a CRT" now the companies do have "text and graphics" but the CRTs belong to the consumers. It's not the small companies' fault that all those damn people are using CRTs to display the text and graphics. They need to be using something else to display it. So let PanIP go after the consumers. I doubt they'll get very far that way.
I think the house of Lords gets the prize for worlds ugliest govenment website. Maybe I should say that cause there are some other pretty ugly sites out there!
It's hilarious, click on the ad and you get a single line "[can't process this directive]" (Solaris/Netscape)
Go to the front page, the whole damn site is down.
The funny part was because they were advertising their cool, super duper, oracle beating unbreakable database. Ya think it was their webserver or database that caused the problem?;)
This isn't exactly a new idea... Anyone remember the old apples where you upgraded the memory by stacking more memory on top of what you already have?
Hmm, didn't those old apples have NUMA?;)
Why doesn't someone answer the question...

You guys are absolutley useless. The question was not "what is your opinion of flash" it was "Are there any cheap (not even GPL'd) ways to create flash?" Why don't you keep your criticisms to yourself.
Here's my answer to your question, albeit, not a very easy one.
If you know php, you can build flash files with PHP. Now I'm not saying this is the best way to do it, or in any way easy, but with enough programming it COULD do it. Can someone out there come up with a useful answer?
Re: Truth is the foundation of every human relationship.
It seems rather ironic that I find this on the front page of your website, after receiving your newest campaign letter. A nicely formed, official looking document asking me to renew my domain registration. No matter that I'm currently a register.com customer.
I am a web developer and knew entirely that I was not a verisign customer and with the email/fax crap that NSol puts people through, I never would be. But unfortunately not all of my customers are so knowledgeable. Your letter was deliberately deceptive and was done in extremely poor taste. Remember that in the business world a negative action will be relayed much more often than a positive one, and you have just started a lot of bashing through word of mouth.
I have a redhat 6.2 mailserver that's an open relay. We are making extensive use of the name@domain.net style virtual hosting that linuxconf does for us. I'm not sure how it does it, I just know it works.
Now, RH7.x doesn't have linuxconf or that virtualhost stuff built into it anymore and I'm not sure how they did it in 6.2 to duplicate it. I don't have time to rebuild that sendmail with smtp auth.
Right now I'm moving to postfix (qmail and djb are out, can't stand it.) but I have yet to figure out how to do virtuals without giving users real accounts on the server.
Ok, here's what I noticed. The SUM of all Linux's put together had a higher bugcount than windows 2000.
Now, how many people do you know that install redhat, then add to it all the security bugs in caldera, Connectiva, Mandrake, Slackeware, Suse, and Turbo Linux?? None, that would be extremely difficult. This is akin to saying the Ford Taurus has fewer bugs than all of the Nissans put together, therefore it is a better product.
Also, we are assuming that all bugs are created equal. Guess what, not so. Windows bugs have superpowers, faster than a speeding packet, stronger than a firewall, able to leap entire networks in a single bound! Linux security bugs take down processes, sometimes servers. Windows bugs take down Networks, or internets!!!
But I'm sure they'll never get called on it, because their readership is windows users. They are preaching to the choir, and they will ignore us and our quest for accuracy.
I love it when people say they don't believe something is the way others say because they haven't seen a freakin' study on it. Do you need me to drop a study in your lap saying that sence you ate gerbers when you were a baby that you're likely to grow up into a Human? Or maybe that's the problem.
Some things in life are just obvious. Violent when you're young is going to influence violence when you're older.
Lets make some more obvious predictions:
People who listen to Rap are MORE LIKELY to be in gangs.
People who listen to country are more likely to be rednecks.
People who listen to jazz are more likely to be weird (sorry jazz people, but you're a weird group.)
I emphasize "more likely", I know you can't pigeon hole everyone but not surprisingly you can most!
Whew, at first I thought he was serious (but perl dead.) Then as I went further and further I thought "I'm no programmer, but if IIRC from my early CIS classes, C was faster than the likes of java. By the time we got to Alan Cox and the Kernel in VB it was way to obvious it was a joke.
Well, it may not be the same situation. Me and my 2 partners get together with our families a few times a year and have a cookout or go see a movie or something. But I guess being a startup we share financial danger, not physical.
And which ones are the terrorists? The ones running around in tanks, hangingout shooting guns?? No, those are just the Taleban gov. officials. The terrorists are the ones that walk around in plain daylight, looking like everyone else around them. Then one day they show up with enough explosives around their chest to knock a few blocks off the map.
Now how are we going to find THOSE terrorists? Intellegence would be nice, but American's don't look like Afgans (sp.) And forget paying them, many of them are taught that the worse life is on this planet the better it is in the after life. Now what are you going to pay them off with? We could always try, "If you tell us where the terrorists are, we'll take away everything you (don't) have.
I believe we can win this war, but finding the objective is going to be much more difficult than people reaize.

what about if we just wrote return to sender on each CD we get?
Hell, I'm going to try that with all my junk mail for now on.

Umm, refresh rates don't apply to LCD's. They don't refresh at all, they are always on or off. There is no scanning to be done.
It's Macintosh Damnit!
You're trying to make it in to some kind of fruit!
Hell, they're only going to pay you for 50% of what they promised... then you only show up for 50% of the time you promised.

Who knows?? Anybody?
Just think of it as redhat 7, servicepack 3. I know, it's nothing like a service pack.
God I hope they put linuxconf back in... Does anyone know why they took it out? I love it!
Sorry, but you foreget RedHat != Linux. This is not a repost of old news, but something new most of us find interesting.
I mean come on, creation of the matrix, 2025... the orgazmitron?
I don't really see these happening.
A friend of mine has a Kyocera that does most of the same things (sans optional keyboard.)
What does the Treo offer over that?
