I highly doubt someone willing to go to that extreme needed my help getting his address. I grabbed it right off of the www.clemson.edu server.
Actually, it only affects the outgoing traffic from the *.home.com domain. Home.com users should still be able to read USENET, they just won't be allowed to post anything.
This is great news. Folks, get in on this one if you can. Linux companies are here to stay, and if you have the chance you should lend them some support. (hint: open an E*Trade account now)
The Visor is true USB, end-to-end. Hence HotSyncing goes much faster than on Palm Computing's devices, which use a serial->USB converter, effectively slowing down communcations to serial's 115kbps speed.
I'm a private pilot. Aviation uses both AM and FM. AM is generally used for naviation. (ie. NDBs or Non-directional radio Beacons). FM is used for communcation and naviation though. The aviation FM band runs from ~108mhz to 135mhz. This is used for Air Traffic control, weather information, flight plans. VOR naviation systems also use this band.
Actually, in the event that a candidate doesn't get a majority of electorial votes, the election is then decided by the House of Representives picking the president, and the Senate picking the Vice-president. How fun!:-)
This patent really needs to be overturned. I know of many products that pre-date this patent and use the 'Windowing' concept. How the US Patent Office could overlook the prior inventions and issue a patent shows how screwed up the US Patent process is. This patent, combined with other patents like the Amazon.com one, calls for an overhall of US patent law.
How about labeling the opposite? It seems like a much better plan. Instead of waiting around for the corporations to label themselves as 'produced with 100% child labor', you could only buy products labeled as 'child labor free'. Kinda like 'dolphin-safe tuna'. No one is forcing you to buy products that you disagree with.
The WTO is about tearing down trade barriers and allowing free trade. Only the special interests would be against this. Those special interests that have a monopoly in an area love trade barriers that force consumers to buy from them.
The political left, via the labor unions are against free trade. They support the protectionist policies that force people to buy their goods. Instead of the politicians and unions deciding, why not tear down trade barriers and let the consumer decide what to buy?

Um.. I'm not sure where you got this idea, but that's not how it works in the United States. The 'Bill of Rights' isn't actually a list of rights that the people have, but a list of limitations on government power. In the United States we are allowed to do anything not prohibited.
The article said that crash test dummies only measure the impact, but don't tell you how much damage a human can take. That's why these studies were needed.
>I think he has a very valid point and has every >right to attend Comdex.
I'm sorry, but he has no 'right' to attend Comdex. Comdex is a private show, and if it wanted to only invite one-legged albino 35-year-olds, so be it. Many people's comments on this story are confusing the private act of Comdex with national/state laws regarding age to buy alcohol/tobacco/etc. They are totally seperate issues. There is no LAW saying you can't go to a trade show below age 18. Comdex has made a business decision, and obviously they value a kid-free event higher than they value the contribution a few under-18 year olds could make.
I went to Comdex a couple of times before I was 18, knowing that they could ask me to leave. This didn't happen and I enjoyed the show. (I was never asked my age, either on the registeration form or by the Badge Agent). If he had just gone to the show, he most likely wouldn't have had a problem.
The article said he saw the requirement on the registeration form, and called them to bitch. If he would have just kept his mouth shut he would have gotten in no problem. I went to Comdex a couple of times before I was 18 and never had a problem.
Traceroute is when you succesively ping a machine increasing the TimeToLive field after each ping. When each packet dies, you get a responce from the killing machine.
Palm is doing very well. I simply can't understand why 3com would spin them off. 3com is pretty well known, and I think by losing the 3com name Palm will only be hurting themselves.

Open Source for hardware doesn't work quite as well as it does for software. The costs of making hardware are higher than making software, so your average geek won't be able to download the 'Amiga box' source and build his own Amiga in a weekend.

I emailed them back about this bug, and they said they are pretty busy now, but they have plans to redo the membership forms soon.

Clemson isn't private. It's owned by the State of South Carolina. =)
Please write the president of Clemson U. and let him know this is just idiotic:
President JAMES F. BARKER,
210 Highland Drive
Clemson, SC 29631
Telephone: (864) 654-6066

35, and the VP requirements are the same as the President's.
I believe you are refering to the FTC, the Federal Trade Commission, and NOT the FEC, the Federal Election Commission.

That's an oxymoron.

Also my Timex Ironman watch uses windowing for the year. It knows to use the correct calender for 99, 01, 02....
The article says the law isn't just about encountering aliens, but having contact with anything extraterrestrial. (ie. the MOON)

Have you seen the Handspring Visor Deluxe? Its available in 5 flavors^H^H^H^H^H^H^H colors.. Handspring
