The reason the University of California is involved is because the technology was developed at UC San Francisco. They didn't "buy-in". They always owned it. The patent is assigned to the University of California. Eolas was spun out of work done at UC. See the UC/Eolas Patent Q&A page.
It's not uncommon for universities to spin off for-profit companies for research done on their campuses or to license patents they are assigned.
According to Roxio's latest quarterly report (three months ending June 30, 2004) on page 18, the "Consumer software" segment of Roxio did make money: on $22,048,000 of revenues, it made $4,585,000. The music segment didn't do so well: on $7,867,000 of revenue, it lost $8,136,000.
The caption for the original photo, it says that it was taken from 540,000 kilometers (324,000 miles) away. The Cassini image was taken at 1.7 million kilometers (1 million miles) away.
Good font design is difficult, time consuming and not very exciting for the "Linux guru". There is the Bitstream Vera font family available. It's been covered on/. twice: announcement and release.
By the way, fonts are fonts really. You've got TrueType and PostScript mainly and they tend to work cross platform. There's no need to have "Linux" fonts. Now if you meant "open source" fonts, that would be a different matter.
In California, Verizon plans to pass about 100,000 homes and businesses with FTTP technology in the Huntington Beach area and in other parts of Southern California.
In Florida, Verizon plans to pass about 100,000 homes and businesses with FTTP technology in the Tampa area and parts of Hillsborough County.
In Texas, Verizon plans to pass 100,000 homes in part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, including Keller, which was announced by the company in May.
Verizon intends to pass 1 million homes and businesses in parts of nine states with fiber by the end of the year.
Microsoft would gain nothing in buying shares that they couldn't get without owning shares. Being a small shareholder does not gain you any extra information on business strategy that isn't already publically available through SEC filings. Regulation FD fixed that.
I'm a bit confused with your post. First you say that the location bar uses search.netscape.com and then you say it uses Google. It's all one configuration, I think.
The default on my 0.9.2 copy is to do a Google I'm Feeling Lucky search. I changed it by going to about:config, changing keyword.URL and removing the I'm Feeling Lucky button parameter. So the URL looks like:

How about explanations of what and why you would want to tweak these things? It's all nice to say "Do this," but I want to know what and why these changes are good for.
I get some of them like the pipelining and max connections (though the settings are not nice), but what do some of the less obvious ones do?
I think that's a problem with all of these "tweak your browser" things I've read. Nobody ever says why you should tweak something, just that you should.
All of the anti-virus companies detect piles of Bagle variants. They don't need the source. They already know how it works and what it does (read any of the anti-virus library entries). Releasing the source doesn't help anybody except for the script kiddies who will modify it. They already have, but now there will be more.
Was the only reason that the article author was able to get any information out of these booth babas was that she was a girl? I'm sure at least one of the booth babes has heard the "I'd like to do an article about you" line from somebody. Sure, her press credentials probably helped, too.
Office Depot gets custody of Kids 'R Us stores. Toys 'R Us is shutting down the Kids 'R Us stores and selling the locations to Office Depot for $197 million. Office Depot is just buying the locations, not the actual store names, inventory, etc.
You need to read the article instead of just looking at the pictures. If you put in an Eden processor, the board is fanless. If you put in a C3 processor, you get the "fansink". The photos in the Linuxdevices article is of the C3 processor model.

IBM is recalling AC adapters, not batteries like Apple.
Politicians limiting themselves? Yeah, right...

It's far from comprehensive. There's no listing of Safari. Firefox has exactly one listing. It's a nice list, but I wouldn't call it comprehensive.

I'll quote the part you're interested in:

Search Yahoo Finance news for "Class Action Lawsuit" and you will see that there are lots of them being filed and not only on tech companies.

If it were only nerds that was the problem. Unfortunately, it's regular street gangs killing each other.
Reminds me of the guy trying to visit every Denny's and find Weird Al.
You have to execute the attachment to get this particular variant of Bagle. It doesn't require Outlook.
All of the anti-virus companies detect piles of Bagle variants. They don't need the source. They already know how it works and what it does (read any of the anti-virus library entries). Releasing the source doesn't help anybody except for the script kiddies who will modify it. They already have, but now there will be more.
That isn't a new twist. It's been done before by one of the Netsky or Bagle variants if I remember right.
John Gruber has written a very insightful piece about Dashboard vs. Konfabulator. I suggest you go read it.
Yeah, too bad you were post 59!

The nuclear power is only for electrical power generation, not spacecraft propulsion. Cassini has two main engines and 16 thrusters for attitude control.

Ah, the memories of playing Crystal Quest, Crystal Crazy, and Shufflepuck Cafe. And blowing stuff up with the Spectre series of games.
