Anyway, the presentations look compelling. I await cameras with reasonable numbers of megapixels (say 4Mpixels +) and reviews...
Then check out the Sigma SD9 reviews at Steve's Digicams and Digital Photography Review as it comes pretty close at 3.5Megapixels (and claims to create images equal to a 6Megapixel camera).
If you don't like their policy, go after the pirates, but don't blame the company for protecting their IP.
No. If they don't like the piracy then they can go after the pirates. I do the right thing and that's where my obligation ends. I don't think the complaint here is that the company has the right to protect their IP, but that the customer has the right to fully utilize the product.
What's the difference between making a copy and printing a new copy if someone is requiring the documentation? Oh, I almost forgot, you stupid liberal....

Nyuk, nyuk. I see your elemental attempt at chemistry humor, but I've turned the tables on you.

Reminds me of a childhood book (was it "The Phantom Tollbooth"?) that has two wizards (If I remember clearly) arguing over which was more important - letters or numbers. Forgive the foggy recollection, I was in fifth grade.
I wonder if former AZ Governor Evan Meacham is aware of this. He used to tune multiple radios to different stations and point them at the window to foil (no pun intended - well, maybe a little) eavesdroppers. I think I saw a picture of him somewhere with an aluminum contraption on his head that was supposed to prevent his brain from being accessed (which seems to have worked pretty good since he often didn't seem to have access to it).
Supposedly the 13-14 billion year estimate produces a smaller range, and the 12-20 billion year estimate produces a higher degree of confidence.
Well, Duh! If I make my range even wider the chances that reality fit within it become greater. If all he's doing is looking to boost the confidence level in the estimate the next guy can just come along and widen the range still more.
So you have one original and 4 copies in different places? What happens if you change on of the copies...
Did I say that the system was without problems? No. I stated that there was a real-world analog for the heirarchical file system. Just as with multiple copies of a file on a harddrive, Xerox copies in a file system have the same benefits as well as drawbacks.
'Save As' writes a copy to a new place on the harddrive, but now you have new information.
Not unless I've made changes. Same info, different place.
What you've seen are multiple copies of the same file.
INFORMATION CAN EXIST IN MULTIPLE PLACES, realword stuff can't.
Got one word for you - Xerox.
Even the data representation of a file, can only be written in one place on a harddrive.
So, if I choose 'Save As' and place my opened document in a new place it writes it in the same place on the harddrive? Maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying, but just because I can use links how many users actually do that? I've seen the same file in multiple places on harddrives and each of them is taking up their own real estate.
If you try to forget everything that you know about computers, and then abstractly think about what a filesystem should be you come to one of the following two conclusions:
Let's see. If I want to retrieve a document that's been filed I go to the bank of file cabinets, select the cabinet that has the drawer I want, open the drawer, scan folders, pull envelope from correct one, extract document.
Cabinet/drawer/folder/envelope/document
Maybe it's because there really is an analog in meatspace for the heirarchical file system.
Actually, that doesn't explain how he got them but rather the relationship he had with the law firm that had the documents. In other words, did he crack a server while in their employ? Did he take a floppy or CD out of a file folder somewhere? How were the documents appropriated by this part-time employee?
I don't know about that. I've seen lots of movies about knights and such and they all had the current British accent (with the exception of Tony Curtis saying, "Yondah lies the castle of my foddah").
Obviously Tolkien was very critical of his own works as this one has been kept in a box for so long.
Of course, Tolkien's being dead for some time may have kept him from drawing attention to the work for the last while. Or maybe your contention is that he's now being critical of himself since he's in a box.....
That's a thought. Particularly given that the act of creation in the Silmarillion was musical in nature with the discordant notes woven into the fabric of the music in order to enhance the beauty of the melody. Even though I've just never been able to get into opera (or Oprah) other than one or two pieces (mostly for the orchestral work).
I may be flying over the freeway as a traffic reporter.
I may be in the back of an ambulance rushing me to the hospital.
I may be in a police cruiser on a ride-along.
Simply to automatically ticket someone based on the calculated travelling speed of a device that may not even be in their possession is fraught with loopholes that even the lamest of attorneys could exploit.

This is completely off topic, but is anyone else really irritated when people don't use question marks?
I know it bothers me?
Egad! This marks a new low as I was foolish enough to think that even a /. editor could spell 'in' correctly.

This is just silly.
My, aren't we perceptive.....
Puns are like wit, only stupid.
Well, that explains a lot.
Reminds me of a fellow who considered himself quite the wit - he was only half-right.
That was the alternate ending. Yeah, that's it....
I once read a book. It was about.... something. Had these characters in it and was set somewhere. I think it may be the one you're talking about....
Am a bit conflicted on whether or not government oversight is a good thing here.
Isn't there some bit of controversy over whether government "oversight" allowed the events of 9/11?

But in Middle English there are no standards of spelling....
So, a typical slashdot post is in Middle English?
And this is a problem because... ?
I may be a passenger and not the driver.
I may have loaned my phone to another.
I may be flying over the freeway as a traffic reporter.
I may be in the back of an ambulance rushing me to the hospital.
I may be in a police cruiser on a ride-along.

If you're able to sip your choc. chip muffin it's been sitting out way too long.... I'd opt for something fresher.
