The point is that any trader, even a foreign one, in Ancient Egypt who wouldn't deal with women probably wouldn't have sold much of anything, since the men probably wouldn't have dealt with him.
...but the Egyptians themselves, in most of their manners and customs, exactly the reverse the common practices of mankind. For example, the women attend the markets and trade, while the men sit at home and weave at the loom... The women likewise carry burdens upon their shoulders while the men carry them upon their heads... Sons need not support their parents unless they chose, but daughters must, whether they chose to or not.
This was not a standard patent. It is an Innovation Patent which isn't reviewed by the patent office, and doesn't grant monopoly powers over the invention. It's not entirely clear to me what good it does the holder.
WRONG!!! Bob Butterworth, the Attorney General is Gore's campaign chief in Florida. He has absolutely nothing to do with the vote counting. I have seen so much misinformation in this thread that my head is spinning.
Does anyone else remember the war that went on in the late 80s between talk.bizarre and alt.tv.tinytoons? It all started when someone from alt.tv.tinytoons started cross posting his fan fiction to talk.bizarre. No one in talk.bizarre liked it, and told him to stop. He didn't. Things got increasingly heated, and eventually others from alt.tv.tinytoons came to his defense. This really infuriated those on talk.bizarre, and someone took it upon themselves to declare war on alt.tv.tinytoons. They did this by posting inflammatory messages in various newsgroups, and setting the followup-to header to alt.tv.tinytoons. The only message I specifically remember was to soc.culture.islam and used the word towelhead. Anyway, with less than 1/4 of the messages on alt.tv.tinytoons having any relevance, it wasn't long before there were no messages about Tiny Toons on talk.bizarre.
I remember them well. Like that time those punk kids with pink hair ripped off my record store and I resented them until I realized their band rocked nads and I put out their CD.
Rather than DOS attacks, the best thing someone could do is get together and make pages that will score higher than the the plaintiffs pages with any search engine. Be sure you use any phrase you can think of with 'leonardo' in it in the title, body, and meta tags. And be sure to cross link them all so that it looks like there is a lot of interest in them. And be sure to change the date stamp daily so that it looks like a very active site. Just make sure that nothing from the plaintiff will show up in the first 100 entries of any result.
Personally, I am tired of hearing sob stories about Netscape. Why exactly should I feel badly for the employees that churned out crappy code, wouldn't return my calls when I was actively trying to purchase their product, and gave me hideous tech support afterwards?
People talk of Netscape as if it were some sort of fallen hero, but the fact is that Netscape is the reason we have never had a standards compliant browser available, ever. Navigator 1.0 added a bunch of crap without being compliant and it went downhill from there. And don't get me started on the bugs in their code.
In many ways, AOL got suckered by this deal. They should remember next time they are considering buying a software company to look at the code first.
The Mozilla project is the only thing that they have done right. I just hope it isn't too late for it to matter.
The NSI whois database is no longer authoritative. It only contains information on domains registered through NSI. I registered a domain through register.com, and when it didn't show up in NSI's database, I questioned register.com about this. Apparently each registrar will now be responsible for maintaining their own whois database. In order to determine if a domain is taken, you will need to query the database of each registrar, or try to register it and see if you get rejected.
NSI's new terms seem aimed specifically at keeping someone from building a comprehensive whois database from the individual databases. I distinctly remember being able to query NSI's database from http://www.register.com/, but that link seems to be gone now. I never really hated NSI until now.
FYI, register.com's whois server is at whois.register.com.
So, let me get this straight. Apple takes Mach and BSD, then layers the Mac desktop & other stuff on top, and then they release the Mach & BSD portions as "open source" and we're supposed to pat them on the back?

Take a lousy five minutes and do the following Google search before responding as if you know anything:

Here's what Herodotus had to say:

>present valid ID?
No. That's why a couple was arrested for selling fake IDs to some of them.

mod_rewrite is your friend...
.* - [F]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog logs/rewrite_log
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERRER} ^[^http://somehost.com/].*
RewriteRule
This should reject any access not referred from somehost.com. Of course, this is off the top of my head, so I might have totally blown it.
