If they try to go legal, they'll get trounced by Apple, disowned by computer users, and end up lie the legal version of Napster...forgotten. If they stay illegal, they'll get trounced by Apple, keep their user base, and not make a penny for it. Great business sense indeed...
Doesn't the problem then become that Verizon can charge whatever they want becaus eno other company can then also lay wiring to said houses? If you have someone right where you want them, would you trust a company whose primary objective is to make profits and become larger to do what's right for their customers or for themselves?
So after 4000 hours per projector, and seven projectors, was it the actual image or the researcher's eyes that deteriorated? You know, if I ran a research company, this would be the kind of thing I gave to interns. "Don't worry, interns don't have feelings, they're made of rubber!"
As much fun as it is to try and crane my neck to the left so as to read a PDF file that has been posted sideways, I'll just go on and assume that the list shwos some huge modern corporation, or some part of the American Military Installation (possibly, even the United States Military itself).
Want to patent something? Patent PDF files that don't suck!
Douglas Engelbart...Since I've never heard the name before, scanning the headlines I read his last name, and was duly frightened that/. was about to post an article which had anything at all to do with Englebert Humperdink...
What is this? Logic? Examination of the lawsuit and using factual meterial instead of simply pulling a random number out of the air??? Sue him! He's violating the DMCA is some way which we will figure out later after the lawsuit has been prepared and filed! Sue him!
...the artists what THEY thought of this? I'm sure that at least some of the artists being shared are among the 90% or so of musical artists that are in favor of file sharing; or did the RIAA simply add up the files and multiply by 150,000 each?
"World's largest frame for monitor" seems more appropriate! Jesus, there's like a foot of plastic around that thing! Kind of defeats the space saving purpose of LCDs if you have to take everything off of one side of the room just to fit the bitch in sideways!
Sounds fair to me, but knowing the type of people who do this, their first reaction is going to be one of "What a second! We weren't told about this!! We were busy reaching around your jacket to get your wallet, we didn't know that you were grabbing ours in the process!"
...was Steven Hawking's "A Brief History of Time." There is an illustratd version that helps make the reading even easier. It's been invaluable to me, and along with his newer book "The Universe in a Nutshell" comprises a much more interesting and informative text than anything I ever read in high school.
Hook up a couple thousand and making the best_disco_ball_ever!!!...or not.
Or Use them as a product indicator to turn green when Microsoft finally makes a product worth paying 400 freakin dollars for?...nevermind the bitterness;)
...are the reason CGI from Pixar, although less than photorealistic (and with a definite cartoony primary-colored look) can feel more photorealistic than projects where a company tries to fool the eye using computers.
It'll be so amazing and cool that everyone will want to have it, so people will begin selling it. They will, however, quickly go out of business because the product they are trying to sell is available for free download on the product they have already sold;)
I was under the impression that the moon helped stabilize the earth's axis of rotation, and one of the effects of not having the moon would be dramatic climactic shifts, with a tendency towards higher temps (near boiling point at some times) and melting polar caps, coupled with much higher atmospheric winds. I may be mistaken, but I was not simply pulling an assumption out of my ass, this is what I was taught.
Doesn't the moon do pesky little things like, you know, "regulate the tides" and such? I mean, maybe we should keep the dirt there to keep our people from living underwater...
as well as the Conspiracy nut in me wonders if this IS the reason we're going to war; to hide this and other archeological finds in the area where civilization on a human scale first began...but then again, I could be wrong.
Does anyone else feel a parallel to when the Catholic Church went along "censoring" all the great works of art which contained nudity by drawing or painting over them, and adding leaves, etc? Personally, I feel art should be left alone. The greatest and most heralded art was made by singular geniuses; no good art was ever created by a committee of politicians...
Once again, the US government in it's narrow-minded thinking chooses ot exclude an entire race of people just for being different...irony that it happen on MLK day.
Oh, it has the Alienware name on it? We should pay more for that, right?
You know, I owned a overpriced cube-like computer that played DVDs too, the PowerMac Cube...it looked better and didn't have that $hitty XP on it either.
This is not a new concept people, MicroATX faactor motherboards are fairly common, and frankly, I could build the same machine for about half the price...Damn, for the extra 500 bucks it costs for them to market their name, I'll DRAW an alien head on the front of your's for you.
So who honestly is surprised by this? It's right along the lines of the Microsoft we've come to know and loathe. Profits are up, competition is down, the government doesn't mind...what more could they ask for?

22% dark matter and 73% dark energy
So...basically they're saying "95% of the Galaxy is we can't sense or prove exists...so just trust us here, because obviously we're scientists."
um...okay. Not disputing it, just kinda going along with it.

Wow, /.ed after about a minute...kinda reminds me of the video footage actually...
This is what happens when you name your vehicle after one of the dumbest animals alive...it acts like one.
Wow, it's a...brick...cinderblock maybe?
