Then Virginia must be in violation of this supposed law. You can either use your SSN as your DL # or have them assign a new number. If you choose the latter your SSN does not get printed on your DL anywhere.
Until everyone is banking online -and- the online banking firms get the concept of e-bills worked out there will be a need for the USPS.
How can the cable company, phone company, water utility, electric utility, gas utility, trash company, and credit card companies collect money for services rendered if they can't submit a paper bill with a return envelope?
There was/is speculation that he panicked. Instead of waiting for the helicopter to arrive he (supposedly) blew the hatch early and climbed out into the sea. Claustrophobia? Anxiety? Who knows.
The bottom of the hatch sat very near the water line and in moderatey rough seas the capsule could take on water. Even a small amount of water would cause the capsule to become unbalanced and list over. If that happened (as it did) the capsule would flood and sink. The $$ loss was only overshadowed by the total loss of onboard telemetry. Basically the sinking totally negated the usefullness of the launch since they lost the capsule and all the data that was supposed to be gathered during the trip.
Now we just need to convince MultiGen to port Creator to Linux so we can have a tool with which to create OpenFlight objects that can be loaded into Performer.
For many years certain game companies (especiallly flight sim companies) have placed "shills" in Usent groups to talk up hype about products or to defend products in the face of bad reviews.
I was going to mention this. It was great when Wired news ran internic searches on all of the DIVX web sites and discovered that most of them were run by the same company. A company whose street address was less than a block away from Circuit City's main HQ in Richmond, VA.
* PNG isn't as prolific * JPEG is 24bit * JPEG is lossy * The "P" in JPEG stands for Photographic for a reason. It was designed to compress photgraphic source.

I still have racks of 720kb floppies of.MOD files I downloaded from Aminet for playback on my Amiga(s) 500 and 1200. That was all done in the 1987-1995 time frame. It's all prior art.
True, but the point about how many died before the first "televised" landing isn't very sustainable.
rocket launches now are common place. Back in the 60's they were the exception. Any launch from the Cape, back then, would have been noticed and scrutinized.
Just the ideology of making a different, hopefully better, machine. One that is multimedia centric and is very efficient.
If you go to www.amiga.com you'll see that there aren't any plans to support exisiting Amiga hardware with OS5 and the only concession being made to supporting older software is the possibility of an "Amiga on a PCI card" that would fit into the new machine.
If I want to go back to the glory days of the Amiga I just use UAE
AOL proper isn't HTML based. It uses a proprietary markup language named "Rainman". So, the # of people that AOL servers in a day really can't be taken as an indication of how good their web server is.
OS5 is a complete departure from the previous Amiga OS's. 3.5 (shipping soon) is the last OS based on the original Amiga "idea". OS5 and the new hardware will really have nothing in common with the Amiga's of yore except for the name and the ideology.
Immersion was first showing this tactile mouse off at SIGGRAPH almost three years ago. Logitech is just the first OEM to actually try to make a viable product with it.
Instead of blowing off the questioning of your totally abiquous comment of "That would be bad" --which, btw can be taken as a threat if you read it with the understanding that you're implying you'll make bad things happen--why don't you attempt to clarify your statement so we can understand you thinking?
That is assuming, of course, that you actually have a coherent thought behind that statement.
You don't think it would be a good thing if the evidence was thrown out of court. Well, isn't that just the epitomy of a useless conribution to this discussion! Just what do you mean by that very empty threat?
Records are kept of court proceedings. The various Microsoft cases will fill up volumes of very expensive legal texts. Lexis-Nexis will have the whole thing on CD-ROM and will sell access to it for ridiculously high prices...
If the two versions of 3.1x were attempted to be submitted as evidence after the discovery phase then Microsoft has every right to request that the court deny their submission.
Overall I'm confused over this lawsuit. Microsoft wrote a graphical shell for THEIR OS. To me they have every right to inform their customers that there might be incompatibilities if you run that shell on a competitor's knock-off OS. Where is it written that just because everyone was using Windows that Microsoft had to spend the R&D money to make sure it worked on a competitor's product? If DR, Novel, Caldera (et. al.) wanted a graphical shell on DR DOS they should have written their own.
That's like saying "I'm an author and I don't want the publisher to print numerous copies of my book and sell them."
Serving a web page is not reproducing it. Moving it all to a different address and serving it, without notifying the IP owner, would be reproducing it.
I just used the demo of BrainKeeper 4.0 from Executive Software. It reported that my brain at 400,000 bad sectors. Should I be worried?

The whole "don't have to drive back to return it" bit is a nice marketing ploy by CC/DIVX. They never mentioned that you would have to drive A LOT farther to buy the disk in the first place.
With rental I don't have to buy a proprietary VCR/DVD player from a small list of manufacturers and pay more for it. I have much more consumer choice. That is good.
With rental I don't have to provide the rental company with a phone line into my playback device. Yes I have to show some form of ID to rent, but I don't have to invite the company into my house so they can get marketing data from me for EACH AND EVERY TIME I watch a movie. I can control my privacy more. That is good.
With rental I'm not screwed when the company goes tits up and decides to program my playback device to become worthless at a set date. The standards are open, so my purchase is not a short term liability. That is good.

JavaScript is -not- a standard.
Besides, IE handles JavaScript just fine. Most of the time it parses it faster than Navigator.

Imp Mission works great on FRODO.
What's FRODO, you ask? Just a fully working C-64 emulator for a variety of platforms. Do a web search on the name and you'll find it.

I remember a Commodore 64 program that would play "Bicycle Built For Two" on the 1541 floppy drive.
Those were the days, my friend, when after two or three playings you would have to sit down with an osciloscope and recalibrate your drive.

Like every other tax once you let a governing body "in the door" they will come back and tax you in greater and greater ways for the same thing.
.01/100 emails + .05 / 100 web hits, + .10 / 100 connections to your ISP, etc... will quickly add up.
.01 / 100 emails isn't much. But
Did they ever get the bug infested code that was Pagestream 3.x to actually be useable?
PS sucked rope, big time. It -looked- like a professional quality page layout program, but underneath the hood it was a pile of garbage.

Not directly.
But, they can modify you and use that as a derivative work. Kind of like cloning done Andy Warhol style, I guess...
Too bad they turned a 5 page short story into a 2 page script...
