All astronauts and cosmonauts have plaster casts of their buttocks made during training, so that (a) seats can be designed for them if necessary, and (b) bronze butt sculptures can still be erected in the halls of NASA should they meet an unexpected demise.
Tell ya what. You sit down in a chair. Now, subsist for the rest of your life on whatever food or water God miraculously provides for you. After all, if you go find food for yourself, you're undoing God's work--that is, to make you starve to death!
God helps those who help themselves. If you believe that He endowed us with the ability to make more of ourselves as a species, then you can hardly begrudge those who make use of that ability.
Ugh, another suck-ass amateur lawyer. Read the legalese again: you're signing over the CONTENT OF YOUR ENTRY. That has absolutely nothing to do with patents, and everything to do with copyright.

You gimme any of that juris-my-diction crap, you can cram it up your ass.
How the hell did you get that? No password == No remote access. Password = remote access. Those that actively set passwords are welcome. Those that do not, are not.
It would certainly reveal that the repaint code was taking a large amount of time to execute, if in fact the repaint code took a large amount of time to execute. And if it didn't, then why bother optimizing it in the first place?
Read the article again. The quote you requoted is from a guy who thinks that the lawsuit is spurious. He DOESN'T think that the website is clear commercial benefit.
Australia's major record companies, Sony, EMI and Universal, are acting on suspicions that students, and possibly staff, are using the universities' computers to swap digital music files. The industry says the three universities have not divulged information, but that others have co-operated.
Ah, great. BSA-style enforcement that tosses the ol' "guilty until proven innocent" mythos out the window. The alarmist in me wonders how long it'll be before consumers are forced to prove their compliance with copyright, or submit to "music collection audits".
Did McDonalds really serve such hot coffee? Did buy custom coffee makers that serve coffee extra hot?
Yes, as a matter of fact they did. (Keep in mind that most of McDonalds equipment is custom.) They intentionally served coffee extremely hot, so that customers taking a cup of it away with them wouldn't be left with lukewarm coffee later on.

I'd like to appeal this patent. Please, everyone email me lots and lots of prior art for the lawsuit. Both video and still photos are acceptable.
Interesting... the former site has captured aesthetic elegance yet not functional elegance, and the second site has captured functional elegance but not aesthetic elegance. IMHO, true "tech-art" would need both of these qualities. Any takers?
A class action lawsuit would be useless here; the GPL is an agreement between the author and the user of the code, not between the user of the code and all the other users. The only person with standing in a copyright violation case is the person who holds the copyright.
Yeah! Did Matthew Broderick hack into military computers through the internet? I think not! All the U.S. government needs for a successful cyberassault is an acoustic coupler and a flair for tic-tac-toe.
Regarding (3): as one who's worked (briefly) on hydrodynamics simulations, scale is not an issue. If you can simulate a 20 cm engine, you can simulate a 20 km engine without much more hassle.
In short, says Mahoney, "Users can pick a route, look at conditions, see what would happen if they didn't take any action, and ask the system for a recommended treatment."
User: What if I just don't do anything?
Computer: Processing... done. DEATH! DEATH WROUGHT BY A VENGEFUL GOD!
Yeah, right, we're all getting fat because we're mad at Barbie for being thin. Something tells me that "the current state of the conversation" you're referring to is heavily influenced by hallucinogens.

Feel free to provide some identity to back up your request. :-P
FWIW, this isn't an especially little-known fact.

It's entirely possible that "recycled", to them, means surplus from a fabrication plant.
