  1. Re:Perhaps I'm missing something... on Are Video Game Patents Next? · · Score: 1

    Your post makes sense, but we are talking about software patents and lawyers here. They are based entirely off of Mutually Assured Destruction, and insuring that no small startup will be able to get in the door with the big boys.

  2. Re:Tsk! Tsk! on Filling Up On Algae · · Score: 1

    The thermodynamic law you refer to is that you'll never get more enegy out than you put in. The reason this wouldn't break that law is you are useing the algae as a solar energy collector. They convert sunlight and the exaust of the power plant into bio desiel (simplified).

    you obviously have no idea how dashboard works. There is NO MAPPING. No loseing keys. Using special monior frequinces and motion detection it can project a new key onto your keyboard that when tapped it will do what ever you wanted it to do at that time.

    (Actually I have no idea how Dashboard works. I just thought it was funny how the original poster was trying to say you had no idea.)

    "And if Mr. Allen would "love to throw a few mil at a project like this", then why doesn't he do so?"

    Because the IRS took it from him and put it to some ski resort in idaho.

    And how do you make that bracelet the must have geek accessory? Let me tell you, a form of politics called marketing. Everything is political. EVERYTHING. If it involves more than one person, it is political. Unfortantly even truth has to be sold to others and that is politics. Now curruption of the political process is what needs to be mitigated.

    How about use this for the OS of your MythTV box and then run mythtv-backend on another system in another room where noise doesn't matter and crank it up with a huge array.

  21. Re:Making them searchable sounds like "fair use". on Publishers Protest Google Library Project · · Score: 1

    Because if you can search for the 1 or 2 sentances of usefull text in a book of several 100 pages than you have just skipped over all the BS the author was trying to sell you in the first place.
