Jeez, what a bunch of sissies. In Australia not only to we like our keyboards dirty, we breed out keyboard bacteria to be tough! If you use my keyboard, don't whinge if they rip yer bloody arms off.
Personally, I prefer to cut out these parasitic middlemen and deal with my bands directly - either with their own web shop, or their nominated seller. Fortunately my favourite bands are fiercely independent, so buying direct is the norm rather than the exception.
Must wear sunglasses - that must pasty white skin in one place might blind you...
Hmm, I wonder if that's the solution to global warming - get geeks outdoors, and increase the albedo of the planet (but decrease its libido.)
Microsoft could probably wait 2 or 3 years and still be within the normal period that is considered timely. The could even justify this by claiming the allowed some time for lesser remedies such as negotiation to work if they could.
The difference, in my IANAL opinion, is that submarine patents come out of left field - it's a surprise attack. The villain can claim laches don't apply because "they didn't notice [for years], and acted as soon as we knew there was an infringement." (Probably crap, but it has plausible deniability.)
OTOH, Microsoft's submarine surfaced the moment they announced to the world that they think there might be a patent problem. To avoid laches, it's sue now or STFU time. They've fired their patent broadside - and it was loaded with blanks. Lots of noise and a smokescreen, but that's about it. (The question now is whether their ship will capsize from the recoil.)
One more: Who else despairs about the state of the education system when people don't know the meaning and etymology of tetra- without examples? Do the d4 rollers know what a tetrapod without comparing it to various monsters?
A more likely scenario is that God had one hell (Hell?) of a bender the night before "The Beginning".
"Let there be light." Eergh! (buries His head under the covers for a few hundred million years.)

"That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger."
0xdeadbeef, 0xdeadbeef, 0xdeadbeef ...
Other vegans, then.
With better lenses we might see that this is a dup.
Don't you mean a mirror?

You forgot projectile comfy chairs.
One possible theory is that the cavern is conical in shape, getting wider as it goes down, which would certainly explain why it's so dark.
If NASA had any political acumen, they would "know" that it's so black because it's full of oil...
"Windows XP SP2 and Vista Only
The Photosynth technology preview runs only on Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista.
If you feel you've reached this message in error, you can try anyway."
Wow, another innovative product from Microsoft.
Apart from that, he has no continuing interest.
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
I remember when the i860 was being touted as a "Cray on a chip" (for small values of Cray.)
I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild.

OMG - incest!</satire>
Or, if you're hardcore as Gentooers like to think they are,
/etc/make.profile /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2007.0
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2007.0 /etc/make.profile
# ln -snf
Real hardcore Gentooers would get the parameters the right way around.

Again, Intel is just trying to generate press, "Look at us! Look at how great we are! We are trying to help the poor!"
And AMD wasn't when they inked a deal with OLPC?
AMD are one of the poor (compared to Intel, at least.)
If only cryogenic resurrection centers had existed at that time we might still have Lincoln with us today.

Oh wait, Spiderman 3 seems to have done over $150M on it's opening weekend. Perhaps I won't start crying for them yet.
Instead, weep for those unfortunate enough to see it.

Now you just know the advertisers are gonna get a hold of this technology and slap animated ads on cereal boxes or something.

Bring it on - "free", probably hackable e-paper, anyone?
You ARE aware that a Cylon winning a dogfight would lead to at least 10 episodes of mourning, griefing and goth-like navel contemplation, yes?
Emo, not goth.
