As for as I know Linus trade marked the word linux, he did not copyright it. Anyone can claim a trade mark as long as it has not been trade marked before. There is not requirement to prove no one used the word before just that they did not trademark it.
And I am not naive just cynical that RH will continue to be a good guy 5 or 10 years from now
You are aware they aren't patenting things to prevent others from using those concepts or to change a fee to use the process. Instead they are doing it as a defensive measure against the likes of SCOs, M$ and greedy lawyers. They aren't patent trolls, they are protecting themselves and the Linux.
You don't need a patent for that just prior art in the wild
Advertising skills aside does any one else think its ugly. The screen does not hinge at the edge and the back side of the screen has two textures and the fan holes. It has too much going on in the design. I mean the mac book air has a shit load of flaws but by god its pretty.
Actually there usually is a blind spot in most cars unless you have curved mirrors. However curved mirrors make it hard to judge distance. As all responsible drivers know you check your blind spot (By looking over shoulder) before changing lanes. Just because someone is in your blind spot does not mean its their fault you hit them.
I had an instructor who loved this procedure he called it the Universal Conservation of Grief principle. You either put in the time(greif) at the start of a project, thinking about the problem properly. Or on the last feature which is ridiculously easy if only you had used a slightly different architecture but would not require major code rewrites.
I did mean synthetic satellites and I guess you are right about the Aluminum and Titanium but in my defense I did preface my statement by saying "I am just pulling this out of the air"
Using your 200mb quota + 2GB extra at $150 a gig doing VoIP - Priceless"
As far as I know VoIP uses very little bandwidth an uncompressed VoIP stream is 128Kbps and modern schemes like G.729 can be as low as 12Kbps. So to use 2GB for VoIP you would have to talk for approximately 48 hours.
This is not counting silence suppression (i.e. only one of the two people in the conversation are generally talking at any one time so the other node does not sent packets) This means that only about 40-50% of the maximum bandwidth is used on average. So you can double the 48 hours number.
How about MIPS assembly?
Its simple enough syntax wise, has lots of emulators and online tutorials and unlike high level languages it actually gives you a feel for how computers work.
I did not mean pull it down from earth I mean send a satellite which gets close to an object and uses a short pulse of magnetic force to pull it off course. It really does not take a lot of force to break an orbit. The only problem I can foresee is that you need the object's orbit to decay rapidly otherwise it may cause other collisions.
I don't think you understand the cause of asthma and related allergies. The problem is not a lack of immunity but your body's immune system reacting to things it does not really need to attack, i.e. pollen, dust etc. The symptoms are caused by your own body not the allergen.So in short developing an immunity to farm animals is not the cure to asthma.
As a life long asthma sufferer I can say exercise does help greatly. I am felling much better and have increased lung capacity since I started playing squash regularly.
As for the Correlation vs causation most diseases like asthma are a caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.This study just illustrates that TV viewing maybe one of the environmental factors.
I've not read TFA yet as I'm just on my way out the door but...
We are already approaching a world wide water shortage are we not? What possible good could come of firing water into space? Even the dirty stuff needs to stay on the planet, as it will never be replaced once it's gone.
-hps
Global warming is causing sea levels to rise we have to get rid of the extra water some how.
Unless the water is very very luck its orbit will decay and it will fall back on to the Earth. Stable orbits are very difficult to achieve.
But about the other point (water is heavy) you are right on the money there. I am just pulling this out of the air but won't using electromagnets to push/pull debris out of a stable orbit be cheaper. I mean all satellites must have some ferromagnetic material in them.
I am applying for a patent
"A company (which is like a machine apparently) that patents things that everyone already does and sues people to force them to pay licensing fees"
From now on anyone like Mr Harris would need my permission to be an asshole.

Who cares whether they care? They will care to make it useful on real hardware, and that means improved hardware support.
Actually because of google's size hardware vendors will gradually stop supporting other distros'
You need a Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) solution, there is no commercial DTN's out there that I know off but the DAKNet people at MIT were working on something and a group a U of Waterloo has an implementation. http://www.firstmilesolutions.com/ http://blizzard.cs.uwaterloo.ca/tetherless/index.php/KioskNet

I think most people realize that we are very sensitive to touch

As i posted in response to another comment, why bother nice people, like Jay Freedman, have done already done this for Apple.
Why bother? Apple has sweet deals with AT&T etc and anyone and their grandma can unlock and iphone thanks to pawnage etc.
