Why not drop the time frame and spend the money, since no one, even with an infinite amount of time and resources can prove something that doesn't exist. It would be worth restricting 'super natural' or people will start pointing to any unsolved scientific fact , like the two slit experiment, as being 'super natural'.
Most customers are not interested in being beta testers.
And they install windows? On a more serious note, people should be encourage to join in with the OSS development process because: 1. It helps the development cycle. 2. It makes the customer think that the product is partly theirs. 3. And most importantly, people who file bugs or request features and see those features implemented will have a product that closer fits their needs.
All things that OSS has over most propitiatory software.
Have you ever used Visio? It's got one of the poorest UI's out there, it's a bit like counting money by hand when you could just put it on some scale and do a bit of math. Unfortunately Kivio coppied instead of innovating.
This has been known about for years, mainly because of a pattern amounts gay men in the USA who slept with a lot of HIV positive people that didn't contract HIV how had family from Europe who survived the black death.
SFIA. It prevents the HIV virus from entering white blood cells which are the initial vectors for HIV. (The hijacked white blood cells then go on to transport HIV into other parts of the body that it couldn't normally penetrate)
Well, giving the people the cure for cancer or genetic diseases may stop them from attacking us in the first place, apply game theory to social systems, not the one with the biggest bomb wins.
There are also lots of other financial software packages listed with varying states of functionality, if the software you want to use isn't fully supported and you've got a little bit of spaire time you can become an advocate for that application and help get it working by filing bug reports and regression testing.
it's a strongly suggested lengthy piece of psuedo-legalese, designed to make people think it's binding.
Where I come from we call them lies.
Isn't there some kind of plain English requirement on contracts? (I'm fairly sure that if you make the wording odd or lie in the EU then the customer wins and battle hands down)
So really you are only debating 1 at a time. If you have a sufficiently advanced shelter, and can deal with being inside it for months on end, you don't need clothing. OTOH, if you have sufficient clothing you can get by with no shelter.
I'm fat, I carry enough excess around with me to move to the north pole. My fat is my clothing and could possible be my shelter. It has to be abnormally cold for me to be pissed off sleeping outside say -5 or less, I've slept in -3, with my cloths on before I got so fat. Most people can adjust to those kind of temperatures without too many problems, the're just used to living in heated housing.
Then companies could just say, the invention started with the wheel.... So long as they could show that they started by inventing the wheel that's fine, but they'll only get a maximum of 10years or twice the length of time the company has been established. (For some amateur inventors that may well have started by reinventing the wheel)
If they have already applied for some other patent based on the wheel you should only take there invention time from the time of that previous patent.
I think that every year or so patent holders should have to prove that the invention is directly making them a profit
That doesn't work for drugs where the initially compound is patented while they are developing ways to mass produce and running clinical trials(which loose the company money!)
It wouldn't be supprising if something similar to Bose Einstein condensate was happending in black holes, I'm not sure what the current (or even not so current) thinking on black holes is. I always think of them a '1/singular' but just like the t-shirt says (1 + 1 = 3 for large values of 1) some values of 1 are bigger than others.
Everything is about Food, shelter, clothing, and entertainment. More or less in that order.
Well, partly correct.
I'm fat, so the food bits correct. But: I don't mind sleeping rough under a tree, unless it's really wet or cold. I couldn't give a toss if people wear cloths or not. And I find myself entertainment enough.
That's only one out of four correct. Guess that's probably why I'm a bit of a leftie.
RIM's Blackberry troubles stem from patents on the wireless transmission of email.
There are a hell of a lot of patents of the form: 1. Take something that people are doing today 2. Insert the word computer 3. File for a patent 4. Profit
I think that the length granted to a patent should be proportional to the amount of time developing the invention, maybe the patent lasts for twice the invention time with a 10 year cap, that way drugs and small time inventors would probably get the whole 10 years, but Microsoft would only get a couple of weeks for some of it's patents. I'm not quite sure how calculating development time would work in pactice though.
I have a PDA and don't use it, except for accessing the internet from the kitchen or logging into my linux box when X has gone AWOL.
1: When it's on charge there's an annoying red light, even when it's switch off and charging.
2: After it's charged the battery life is only a couple of days.....
3:...That wouldn't be so bad if WinCE didn't, loose all settings (even the date and time!!!), loose anything that you store to VRAM (the default setting is to store documents in VRAM and not NVRAM), had a usefull web browser, had a usefull file browser, has a usefull media player, hand-writing recognition worked, word recognition actually learned the words you used and dropped the ones you didn't, came with a JVM, didn't install applications to VRAM, didn't require a Windows Desktop to use properly... Was anything apart from WinCE.
WinCE is just the most annoying OS (if it is an OS) that I have ever seen or used, they even re-wrote it and it was still shit.
I may try an install Linux on my PDA and set it up so it keeps thing like settings by pussing/etc in NVRAM, that way I save 1 days battery life not having to set everything up and install it all again.
It's quite possible that the game is buggy, but the bug didn't appear on the old architecture. There are quite a few games with bugs in then that don't appear on Windows but do appear in Wine, even though Wines API matches Windows API.
If the rest of the world ganged up on the US in the form of heavy trade sanctions it may result in the US being a little less bigheaded about... well... everything.
Why buy a physical disk player and physical disks when bandwidth provides the same experience?
If that were the case everyone would be watching TV on a TV and no one would buy DVDs, videos and PCs. Actually being able to 'own' something used to count, now a days there trying to make us slaves to the corporation where even our life (or at least quality of life) is rented from whatever wallmart has on special this week.
It's possible that that may have a claim that doesn't fit with standard SGML but does fit with XML or even some uses of XML but not XML as a whole.
Perwill is designed to do exactly what the patent claims so I would expect (and know) that the software has been used to implement the claims in the patent.
I'm sorry that you fail to perceive yourself in a way that allows you to adapt and use potential benefits that are presented to you because you cling to the present and don't accept the future.
1. Don't you have a guest login? II also expect that your PC is different enough to your friends (different version of windows, different version of office, differentiffer applications installer), I have very little problem using other people's PC, even windows ones and I've been using only Linux at home for years.
it would be nice if Microsoft provided a way to export you personal settings so that you can take them with you.
2. WFT? Unless there's a bug in the menuing system (the menu system is only a small part of the OS so it should be easy to fix any bugs in the first service pack) how is your usage pattern going to cause instability? Please I'd really like to know where your going with that one.
3. I hope not, ref it would be nice to export your settings in #1. If you do have to suffer than that's Microsoft's fault for not implementing smooth upgrades not the fault of intelligent menus.
4. So make it possible to turn the feature off and on, hey you could even have different profiles depending on the work your doing.
5. Generally if you don't use a PC enough for the algorithm to work then your always going to be learning how to use it, I don't think intelligent menus are going to cause too much of a problem and you could always turn the feature off. But your problem implies that those people who do use a computer enough for the algorithm would benefit.
6. See #1, and it is possible to share profiles over the network so that when you logon to another PC it's just like you like it (even down to the wallpaper), I think it may be possible to export your settings to a USB key and then import them when you use another PC. (It's been a while since I've used Windows, but under NT is seemed possible so I expect more recent version s of windows would be better)
I think you've found quite a few exceptions to prove the rule, I didn't say that Microsoft's system couldn't be improved upon all I said is that if you give it the time (like you have to give anything new some time to learn) it will benefit you and not hinder you.
Want an example of what I consider to be a good interface? Have a look at Vim.
I use vim all the time, though I only new a few commands for years. About a year or so ago I thought it would be a good idea to learn a few more commands and went through vimtutor. It has some quirks (like having to escape ('s etc.. when searching because vim uses regexps to search etc...) that take a while to learn, but once you've learnt Vim it can be very usefull.
Notepad can use GVim after learning one additional bit of information.
Except when you paste with the mouse it has a horrible habit of double indenting everything unless you tell it your going to paste. (that's Vim maybe not GVim, I usually use VIM in the command line)
If you want to see a really good editor look at textpad, it's simple, yet powerfull.
'Perwill's EDI software, which went live in 1992/3.'
Perwill is a horrible piece of software written by Polaris that maps from one text based format to another, it's mainly used for EDI but can be used for anything (you could probably setup an XML/SGML template if you could bare using the software for that long).

Hmm.. It looks like I've been typing hfef and not href, well it is 5:30 in the morning and I haven't been to sleep yet!
Opps ./ ate my link
I think OSTG (or at least ./ is based in the US) in which case all you have to read is this.
