that corner of their business will continue to thrive
If by "thrive" you mean, shrink consistently year after year, then yes it will continue to thrive.
While I believe this story is a red herring - it doesn't really have anything to do with Kodak's film business - Kodak truly is doomed. They are THE buggy-whip manufacturer of the 21st century.
What technology is there to license? It's a portable harddrive. I'm pretty sure HP can build one fo those without needing to license anything from Apple.
It's the design of the iPod that makes it unique, not the technology. That's what HP is licensing.
A liar? How do you figure? Go look at the post I specified. See how it's identical to yours? See how its time stamp is earlier than yours? It's all pretty straightforward really.
Yes, I know that's you posting anonymously fastidious, as who else would be trying to defend this sad karma-grab of yours?
I think it is much better for the American political system for a candidate to raise $100 from 2 million donors than $200 million from some very large donors and interest groups.
Agreed. But unfortunately this doesn't change the fact that the candidate with the $200 million is twice as likely to win as the candidate with $100 million.
In American politics money talks, and more money talks louder than less money. This is what we really need to reform.
It's a trademark, not a copyright. So far the courts have upheld this mark.
Microsoft's trademark is on the phrase "Microsoft Windows", not on the word "Windows" itself. Microsoft was specifically denied a trademark on the word "Windows" by itself because it is a generic word.
Therefore I can't see how the word "Lindows" infringes on the trademarked phrase "Microsoft Windows". By any common-sense standard, they would have to be using the phrase "Microsoft Lindows" to be infringing.
The problem isn't bad code. The problem is hidden, unverifyable code.
Hiding the process used to count votes, and making that process unverifyable (is that a word?) once the votes have been counted, is an execellent way to steal an election.
Since all the electronic voting equipment manufacturers are insisting on hidden, unverifyable code, and all of them are "rooting for" the same political party, it isn't exactly a wacko idea to think there might be something fishy going on here.
Yes, both parties would love to steal an election. But one party appears to actually be implementing the means to do so.
The issues of voter-verifiable receipts and secret voting systems could be resolved in the United States by a bill introduced to the House of Representatives last May by Rep. Rush Holt (D-New Jersey). The bill would force voting-machine makers nationwide to provide receipts and make the source code for voting machines open to the public. The bill has 50 co-sponsors so far, all of them Democrats.
So there is a bill currently pending in Congress that would make this Diebold shit illegal, and NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN in a Republican-majority Congress is supporting it.
I found the following on Yahoo's SCOX message board. If true, the legal fun is just beginning!
Its a pump designed to help a mutual fund. Nobody rationally can justify a $45 price without illegal insider info - and info that runs counter to all previous information regarding SCO, IBM and RHAT, and counter to all Linux information as well.
Collusion between an analyst and a fund is whats going on. And like the tech bubble collusion and the telecom bubble collusion, this one too will burst when the fundamentals about SCOX take hold.
This used to happen all the time in telecom. Jack Grubman ring a bell to anyone here?
Happened all the time in tech stocks too - anyone NOT remember Blodgett and all the fraud and maipuation he was part of?
Its simply the "old boys" network doing things the way they always have. One of their own (Cohen) got stuck and need a price jump to get out. One of his buddies at DB helped him pump the price at no risk to DB (notice none of the DB entities are buying into this crap). Surprised it took them that long to get the scam going here.
The fundamentals have not changed. Only the hype has. And hype will eventually burn away and the fundamentals will take over. And this will crash back to $2 where it belongs
and...
This is someone at DB helping out the fund that bought all that SCO and who now owns 10%. That mutual fund was having its ass handed to it, so they called out and got some help with a baseless buy recommendation from a big name. And that big block of shares that went after market? Well, lets just say that trade looks suspiciously like someone had insider info, and you can bet the SEC is looking at that trade in particular. Cohen may get caught with his hand in the cookie jar on this one.
You don't have freedom of religion if a differing set of beliefs is forced upon you. Unless you have freedom FROM religion, you have no freedom OF religion.
What does this mean? Is it that 780,000 people have signed up, or that 780,000 people own PS2 online adaptors?
It means 780,000 adapters sold. There is no "signing up" with PS2. Once you have the adapter and an online-capable game, you're good to go.
You cannot say that 100% of X-boxes have online connectivity, because X-box owners have to "sign up" and pay MS $50 (per year) before they can use that built-in ethernet port.
This is exactly the game and scene I thought of when I saw the headline of this story. Except it's the next line in that scene that has always stuck with me:
"I hope this isn't...Chris's blood!"
Can't you just hear the "dum dum DUM!" after it?:)
Not really. Just because someone says they "know how to count cards" doesn't mean they really know how to count cards. It's kinda like your average script kiddie stating he "knows how to program computers".
You would simply not believe the complexity of a "real" counting system.

or you could just scan the old-style $20 bill.

this is a copy of an earlier post by truffle - post #7895073
There is a HUGE demand for these desktop chips. AMD has pretty much sold out of them.
Your point about people not really needing these processors is valid, but the demand is there.
oh, we're here....lurking.
it's just not very often that a GIS-related topic comes up.
You mean like how they designed the battery to die after 18 months and cost $100 to replace?
From an Apple profitability standpoint I guess that's an excellent design. But not from an owner's perspective.
Agreed. But unfortunately this doesn't change the fact that the candidate with the $200 million is twice as likely to win as the candidate with $100 million.

short sellers, you have no more than 30 days to get your shares! get 'em while you can!
Fight that corporate brainwashing!!

He left out the second "million". He meant 20 million ps2, 7 million xbox; which is about right according to the numbers I found through Google.
and look how that ended up.

Rush Holt (D-New Jersey). The bill would force voting-machine makers nationwide to provide receipts and make the source code for voting machines open to the public.

seriously, he's no more than 5'-10". 5'-9" is probably the truth.
have a look about 3/4 down the page on this article at National Review which I might add is a *very* right leaning/pro-Bush publication.
or at this cnn photo of Bush and Putin, keeping in mind that Putin is a *very* short man.

Can't you just hear the "dum dum DUM!" after it? :)
Me flunk English? That's unpossible!
oops. forgot to put the "million" in there. working and posting to slashdot at the same time is apparently harder than counting cards. :)
