I once backpacked a 28 pound Compaq Portable Plus, a Honda portable generator, and a Mannesman Tally Spirit 80 dot matrix printer and a can of gasoline 5km into the bush in order to run the start/finish area of the Ontario Orienteering Relay Championships, using some software I'd written myself in dBase III. That computer was "luggable" in the same sense that Everest Base Camp is.
Just wait. A lawyer friend of mine says that this order will be submitted to the Florida Bar, which is currently investigating his behaviour, and it WILL be used as evidence against him. Especially the bits about him violating the judge's order, and his spamming the judge and the opposing counsel with press releases and long paranoid diatribes.
I've read some of the emails that he's sent out. Did you know that his wife got some sample packet of vaginal lubricant in the mail, and he uses that as evidence that Blank Rome (the opposing law firm), the judge, and the Republican Party are all out to get him? Fascinating stuff.
So? When 90% of your "customers" are being told that they either turn off Javascript or get a virus, it doesn't matter whether the problem is with Javascript or IE - either way, there is no return for adding AJAX features to a web site. I'd rather spend my precious development resources on non-AJAX features that benefit everybody.
Just when I'm considering using more AJAX stuff on my web site, along comes another in a long line of Javascript vulnerabilities. Maybe it's not time to do AJAX. Or to make it lock out IE browsers.
Not to mention the fact that neither the CIA nor the Soviets ever admitted that there was such a bug. Sounds like Tom Clancy-ish wishful thinking to me.
The first time I noticed it happening, I wrote to the guy, and got back an extremely incoherent response. I think he was denying that he was doing anything wrong, but I couldn't be sure. So I did the redirect to my leech.png, and then I went back to his page a few days later and he's complaining that I hacked his web site, and he was changing all his passwords. But he was leeching somebody else's picture as his background.
I guess it's too much to expect a modern teenager to actually learn something from his experiences.
5. Image leeches. Whenever I see a lot of hits on one of my pictures on my web site, it's because some asshole at MySpace has embedded it in his page without asking permssion, without copying it, and without giving it any attribution.
Which is why I now have

The summary is correct in that this is what the CEO is saying. The CEO is using "intellectual property" in the broadest sense - this is a trademark issue.
Yes, they've only found fragments of wing bones of these very large ones. But those fragments are exactly like the wing bones of smaller pterosaurs which they already have complete skeletons for, only larger. The statement about legs and knuckles is based on more complete skeletons from smaller specimens.
When people use one of my images as their avatar on various web boards (which has happened three times that I've noticed), I redirect them to http://xcski.com/~ptomblin/leech.png
So you create a separate gmail account that you share the user id and password with a bunch of people. You send to that account emails with attached jpegs, which contain the nefarious files embedded with steg-hide. Google knows the IPs that accessed the account, just as Flikr knows the IPs that accessed their images, but that's all.
You seem to have mistaken Slashdot for a "reasonably sensible user community". Are you sure you didn't switch your "My Little Pony Fanfic" tab and your Slashdot tab by mistake?
The Sony guy blabbing on about their customer focus and listening to the customer and all that shit, when the main reason they didn't have a competitive player 5 years ago is that they insisted that everything had to be stored in that same crap format they used in the minidisc player. What was it called? Atrac or something like that? And when they did bring out a player, they called it an MP3 player but what it really was was a player that played their proprietary format, and software that converted MP3s to their format.
That's really customer focused. Boy oh boy. I can hear the teeming millions saying "what I want from an MP3 player more than anything else is the inability to play MP3s".
Fact: Because IBM didn't meet their performance promises to Apple, they now have to give Apple a whole bunch of PowerPC intellectual property. Apple could take that IP over to Intel and either have Intel manufacture 3GHz G5s, or make an Itanic/Power hybrid chip.
In other words, don't assume that a move to Intel means a move to x86.

Don't look for consistency in the ravings of Jack. He also blames a lot of stuff on Clinton.

No, you're thinking of the Megatokyo attack.

It is you who are being absurd.

You can read about it in this blog entry.
Mine went from "Raised Concern" to the lower one (green) a few days ago. Not sure why, I'm sending the same volume of mail as always.
This is no better than any of a number of other existing RBLs as far as I can see. So why does it get a front page write-up?
How about if they ran it through an image filter like "sharpen" or "unsharp mask"?

a 16 bit operating system on a 32 bit platform.
More like a 2 bit operating system from a company without 1 bit of innovation.
Is that a phone, or Apple's next mouse?

Will there be a Linux kit for this model
And who will put together the first Beowulf cluster of them?
That's just the inventors speculation. Currently there is no such exemption.
