The contract I signed specifically said "No commercial servers." I checked this very carefully before signing it to ensure that they have no contractual right to pull my account for running a personal web server.
Of course, this was when MediaOne was Roadrunner, not @Home, but they cannot unilaterally change the agreement without notice.
The capital needs could very well a sign of success. From what I've read, Transmeta has quietly been winning approval from a broad array of very large system manufacturers. This takes time and can't be done before there are real parts to evaluate.
Once the big guys are ready to go, however, Transmeta will needs lots of cash to finance the wafers coming from the fab. It takes money to make money...
Ramtron FRAM might be OK as a replacement for something like EEPROM, but certainly not as program memory that you execute from. All FRAM accesses are destructive - reads and writes. The spec is 10 billion reads/writes.
Protecting the livelihood of local public librarians? I found this comment interesting:
However, he elaborated that "there should be no question that the tradition of free public libraries... is the absolute platform of essentiality for our democracy." Furthermore, in public libraries "there is an inherent adversity to censorship."
Wide availability of books through the internet would (over time) diminish if not supplant the role of the local public library. Is this really just the nation's head public librarian protecting his professional turf - or perhaps his union members?
My friends are very competent people, but I think that the emphasis should not be on number of patents (or rejections) turned out but on thoroughness of patent review.
And how should the USPTO objectively quantify "thoroughness of patent review" for purposes of employee productivity? Perhaps allow time based on length of application? Pages per week covered? They need some sort of objective metric, after all.
Bluetooth is a short range technology - on the order of 10m with 1 mW of power. This is referred to as a personal area network. There is a higher power option (100 mW), but not with $5 parts. Data rate is 720 kbps according the to the Bluetooth website. It has integral voice capabilities in the standard.
11 Mbps 802.11 (also at 2.4 GHz) has range to about 150 feet in an office/home environment, or about a kilometer outdoors in line-of-sight. Of course, no 802.11 radios that I am aware of cost 5 bucks, either.
The MPA was formed in 1945 in the aftermath of World War II to reestablish Americanfilms in the world market, and to respond to the rising tide of protectionism resulting in barriers aimed at restricting the importation of American films.
The MPA's name was changed from the Motion Picture Export Association of America to the Motion Picture Association in 1994 to more accurately reflect the global nature of audiovisual entertainment in today's international marketplace.

Bruno was a sensational figure as the 17th century drew to a close
and
Eventually lured back to Italy on a pretext, Bruno was imprisoned in 1592 by the Inquisition, tried as a heretic and burned alive on Feb. 17, 1600.
Huh? Looks to me that Bruno died at the end of the 16th century, or the beginning of the 17th for the calendar impaired.

Looks to me like Katz got it right.
