  1. Re:Prior art has to be out there... on USPTO Grants CA Lawyer Domain-Naming Patent · · Score: 1

    when i was a college student (in 1998), we were given (at washington University) email addresses that matched to our divisions: therefore I was bmgoldne@artsci.wustl.edu, while a b-schooler was x@olin.artsci.wustl.edu

  9. Re:Good on Disney to Make Movies Available Online · · Score: 1

    As part of their deal with FOX (who they bought the network from), they have to honor FOX's deal with PAt Robertson, who used to own the network back when it was the Family Channel and showed nothing but Waltons reruns. The deak says that they have to continue broadcasting the 700 Club. Disney may be evil, but they ain't rightwing christian

    (plus in my experience it's the *staff* who have the most overdues)

    --too true, too true-- But, then again, we never seem to lose books, do we?

  23. Re:Loss of revenue. on Cleveland Public Library Readies E-book Downloads · · Score: 2, Informative

    I.A.L. (I'm a librarian). I'll let you in on a little secret. We don't, for the most part, care about the fines. They're really just intended to help encourage library patrons to return the shared resource they have borrowed. The fines do provide a little revenue, but for the most part, the administration involved with these fines makes it much less than one would think

    P.S. Penn. Public and School libraries (throughb their Powerlibrary online iniative) already have e-books, although the system could use a little work.

  24. Re:This is already happening... on FCC to Permit Complete Media/Telecom Consolidation · · Score: 1

    There are two in my market (pittsburgh). Pretty good news coverage, good jazz, good folk/rock.

    the coverage seems reasonable unlike CNN/FOXNEWS.

  25. Re:Great news for Health on New Stem Cell Source - Your Bone Marrow · · Score: 1
    I will be one of the first in line to donate bone marrow but will probably get rejected. Unfortunately, since I've lived in two countries no bloodbank will take my donation, even though I have no health problems. Hopefully, the law will be changed one day.
