The mouse controller is being marketed by Montrose Secam Limited. It is available only for PS/2 mice at the moment, although a USB version is in the works.
A software version of the device is available at IBM Alphaworks
There is legislation passed in the US that makes it a crime for a US citizen to engage in sexual activities in foreign countries with individuals that are not over the age of consent in the US. This was done in an attempt to curtail the booming Asian child-sex trade.
Some 1950's Cadillac models had cruise control as an option. There were "hand throttles" available going back almost forever - FDR had one installed on his car after polio had paralyzed his legs.
I used to work for Symbol. Their hardware is good stuff, but they were hobbled by greedy and incompetent executives for a while. Who knew that the CEO would eventually end up a fugitive?
They were also driven at 100mph (electronically governed) in the burning Texas heat. The vehicles were also overloaded. All of those factors further increased the strain to the point where the tires catastrophically failed.
They did NOT take out the "exploding hamster" scene in the NES version. You just needed to use Sid when putting hamster in the microwave, and he'd happily do the deed.
Very easily. Being 64-bit means that your machine code uses 64-bit instructions and/or registers, and your program is loadable above the 2GB/4GB memory limit. Being able to access 64-bit memory only requires that the memory manager understand values larger than 4GB, and be capable of returning a pointer to high memory. You have to assume that pointers are long ints (8-byte) in this case, since the address of that memory won't fit in a 4-byte int.
Admittedly, this is much easier to implement from the runtime's perspective. The code hit to allow for high memory access is a lot smaller than allowing for programs to run in high memory.
IBM allows anyone to license any and/or all of its patents. All you have to do is give them a call and they will be more than happy to work out an agreement with you. The large patent portfolio is more of a defensive measure - if IBM is sued, it's more than likely that they can countersue with a few choice patent violations.
Bottom line - don't sue IBM unless you are sure you haven't infringed on ANY of their IP.

Hashing the passwords would probably help in this case, since then a single character change would completely alter the entire hash.
I think they are talking about the IBM Web Browser, which was nothing more than a port of Mozilla to OS/2 (Warpzilla?).

PLEU96B...but that was the school's account. I worked in the library, so I was able to have my own login.
Japan has odd IP laws - I believe that games have to specifically licensed for rental - you can't just buy some at the store and rent them to anyone.
Wow! Two whole weeks off! Man, you must be new around here...two weeks vacation is the MIMIMUM acceptable level for a professional position.

That's why you should familiarize yourself with the controls BEFORE you pull out into traffic.
The modem is thrown in - you can remove it if you want to save $29. Some people like having one in case their main broadband link goes down.
All Apple PCs come with built-in Gigabit Ethernet. The card that you mention is for an EXTRA network port.
Apple RAM is always overpriced - buy it from somewhere else.
I don't know about your car, but speed-sensitive steering tends to help with that quite a bit.

As depair.com says,
"If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made by prolonging the problem."
Man, I'm a young 'un compared to some of the other posters around here.
/. in the summer of 1998.
Too bad I didn't register when I first read

How are things there now?
I find it deliciously ironic that looking for "zestyfind" in that search engine returns no results.

Would that have been in Bentonville, Arkansas?
They didn't have 56K back in the Slackware 2.X days!
I had the same sig with the same error in it. Someone here pointed out my mistake and it's been correct ever since.
This is good stuff - I wish I had mod points.

:)
Then you could give the hamster to Weird Ed...

Large, conservative corporations like the warm, fuzzy feeling that IBM can provide them. CIO's don't get that same feeling with MySQL and JBoss.

Personally, I'm waiting for the 10.7 "tatsu-maki-senpuu-kyaku" release.
