Unless the cars hacked into are accessible through a network, why would anyone waste the time to hack the car's computer controls when they can just do old fashioned mechanical damage?
I'm sorry but it appears that the F9 and Dragon are being funded by NASA so why is this better than SS1/SS2 which is a private for profit venture? There is also nothing new in the F9/Dragon concept from the Gemini/Apollo spacecraft. Even the method of landing, heat shield and design are basically the same. So what is so "meaningful" about this?
It is not only the grammer and spelling but the "facts" are not real facts. I have read some of his responses to comments on the site and have found that unless this guy has actually "seen" something, it doesn't exist. This tells me that the "facts" he presents are not reallly facts at all but pure conjecture. I also cannot believe this article. One other thing, who really cares what this guy says anyway. The buying public ultimately makes the decisions and they are buying USB. It solves the problem that "most" users of technology have, "why is this so hard to use?".
"If Windows sucks soooo much, how come more people are familiar with it than Mac OS X? Last time I checked, Windows wasn't just a business operating system. Tons upon tons of people use it and like it.'"
True. But if you look at the fact that MPEG (method to compress/decompress, deliver, control audio/video, blah, blah, blah) was around before their patents, maybe their technology is based on existing standards or work which would invalidate those patents.
Your examples are note worthy but not applicable to this situation. Apple did not set up a "contest". That would be something like the X-Prize. This was an unexpected reward for a job well done. There is nothing said that would indicate that this will happen in the future.
I believe you are correct about not caching the redirect. Here is a snipet of RFC 2068:
10.3.3 302 Moved Temporarily
The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection may be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the Request-URI for future requests. This response is only cachable if indicated by a Cache-Control or Expires header field.
If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s).
If the 302 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued.
Note: When automatically redirecting a POST request after receiving a 302 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents will erroneously change it into a GET request.
If the South Korean gov does not have a fall back solution, it has lost to MS. In order to negotiate, they have to be willing and able to go to the fall back solution. If this is not done, they have already lost in the negotiation.
Naw. Hell froze over just once and everything else has slowed down as a result. Eventually, things will thaw out and mother nature will correct the situation with a global warming.

I love the patent diagram. Does it run at 3.5GHz?

Makes me wonder what is being tied to this bill that makes legislators want to postpone or "phase in" the conversion to DTV.

"Don't rely on wikipedia for everything- it's not a Bible."
Well, actually the Bible is not the Bible since many books that were once in it were left out.
Very well stated and I agree 100%.

Can you say "Monopoly"?
I knew you could.

Life is a bummer sometimes.
If "beta" software was flawless, it would be called v1.0

Does anyone still use IE for Mac or Windows? Firebird is the one true browser. It will unify the world.

I think this indicates that Safari has a bug

And since spun off to form Agere and Avaya.
has definitely frozen over. First the Intel switch and now a "2-3-4" button mouse in the guise of a one button mouse. Yikes!!!
Walmart already had a in with Walmart
Dude, I hope so.

This means I have to go out and get a "test audience". That just can't happen on my salary.
Com'on illegal downloaders. We can't let the legal downloaders win. :(

So now it is going to be battled in courts.

What about satellite radio? I have XM and it is way better than regular (free) radio.
They should use "The Dip"!
Shouldn't that be "Return of the Jedi 2"?
