Some new models are addressing that issue. For example, the Olympus E500 shakes the sensor clean on every power up. Other manufacturer's are using similar technology.
that the versions, that have been anonymously submitted, were from the last election. Could someone be trying to tell us something? Will a third party have the chance to examine the contents?
Well, it starting to look like a contest, but I am afraid our cousin's on the east side of the pond may be winning. I am not overly concerned yet, as I am sure our illustrious leader will pull something more impressive out of his bag of tricks. On the other hand, we may be well ahead, but due to national security concerns, we may just not know it yet.
Wow! I guess I wasn't low profile enough, even back then.;-> That would have been the bus between BWI and the Convention Center, 11 years ago. Boy, that was one hell of a trip. My flight was late, and I needed to setup the booth for Fermilab at the Supercomputing 1995 conference. I still have my Cray IV poster, signed by Seymour. When I got there, the convention center staff still had not unloaded and delivered our crates. We quickly figured out which members of the staff to bribe and get our stuff before the convention actually started. Corrupt little bunch over there, but being from Chicago, I was used to it.
I managed to make strange, though obvious, contribution to the rise of the Internet at that convention. At the time, nobody was putting their web address on business cards. After the first day, my writing hand was exhausted from scribbling our web address on pieces of paper. The next day, I ran out to a print shop and had a few hundred cards printed up with our web address. The day after that, a few of the commercial exhibitors did the same. I'll probably burn in hell for that idea.
Bzzzzt! Wrong, please play again. SGI was only founded three years before ATI, 1982 and 1985 respectively. Nvidia was founded in 1993. None of the founders of these companies had anything to do with SGI. Two of the three Nvidia founders were from SUN, and the third AMD.
Isn't this exactly was promised by ISDN in the early 1980's? Somehow, it never got past step #1, ie. 2B+D. The plan was, once it caught on, things would scale up as the end user was able to consume bandwidth. 95B+D anybody? Oh, never mind, AT&T's patents for ISDN have probably all expired. If we take the same idea, and color it pink, the PTO will gladly patent it for us.
Where are you going to find a 40 TW laser that is considered portable? They don't mention how big the laser was. I would be willing to guess that a 40 TW laser takes up a fair amount of real estate.
I never said cats weren't good pets. I was commenting on how much cats manage to negotiate a shared existence with their cohabitants. Clever little devils.
38 million households own a cat??

No one "owns" a cat. What they really need to say is that there are 38 million households where the cat(s) tolerate the presence of humans. In most cases, the cats will have trained their humans to fulfill their every whim.
The Department of Homeland Security was originally created using an alloy of Bureaucratritum and Administrontium. Sadly, the amount of alloy used exceeded the critical mass, resulting in a Black Hole of un-imagined proportions. Our only hope now is to collide the DHS with another Black Hole of unimagined proportions such as the SSA.
Now if they only had crashed the lunar modules of Apollo in a spectacular display of exploding moon dust and told people to watch through their telescopes. Then we would have to listen to these dipshit conspiracy theorists talk about us never going there in the first place.
They did, in addition, they crashed at least one S-IVb into the moon.
Don't think so. The pictures that have been floating around claim that the each unit has a difffent color combination. By using BW photographs, the origin can't be traced back to the current holder of the unit. Of couse, this may be making the fatal mistake that MS didn't code the units so gray-scale images wouldn't reveal the current holders.
They have had this for some time. it is called TMC (Traffic Message Channel), which is uses RDS (Radio Data Service) to send messages to the navigation unit. Garmin has units that support it, and I am sure there are others.
Every place has a different balance of attributes, as do people. One man's Nirvana may be Manhattan, while another's is Napa Valley. We also change with age. Personally, I started my career living in the city, and as I grew older moved to the suburbs, and now find rural living to be more and more attractive. There is a time and a place for all of us, the adventure is finding it.
We will not see real security until Insurance companies start to really evaluate the risks involved. Once premiums sky-rocket due to poor security, then people will pay attention.

Don't the largest current patent holders have the most to gain from this?

The real question now is, "Can they make money?"
SGI had very few profitable quarters overs its history. I hope they can turn it around, they made some fine products over the years.

A good portion of the folks who did the work at SGI are now working for NVidia.
I guess those BSD guys have just been playing around all these years.
There are just those we have not found guilty yet.
AT&T Videophones were first built in 1956, aka the PicturePhone(TM).
