Many engineers in R&D are forced to sign Anti-Competitive clauses that say they can design exclusively only for that employer. I know Darden Restarants, the largest casual dining company in the world, forces all managers to sign such clauses. It's big business... they have much to lose by their employee's helping the competition.
I hope not. This is going to be a media wreck if they lose. Of course, I can't blame them. Major universities have always attempted to subsidize tuition by licensing patents.
I hope they work out a deal. I'd really hate to see either party lose this case.

what about strip-searching all passengers Fine with me. If they wanna shoot themselves in the foot; they can. People won't ride the planes if they go too far. I'm only arguing they have the right to do whatever they think is necessary. But, another comment has brought attention to the federalization of security. Being a government run operation, they do have limitations now.
handing a blank check to the authorities is never a good idea Agreed. It's good we're only handing it to the airline industry.
I only fly a few times a year. However, I'm getting happier with the security. Delays Shmelays. That's what I say. I think they should do whatever it takes to make flying safe.
I'm willing to relinquish my right to privacy to fly on an airplane. I only wish more 'rational' people would do the same.

I agree with most of what you say. However, with respect to the amendment you quote:
This applies only to the government. You don't have a right to board a plane. It is a privledge they've granted you. Planes are private property. You also don't have to be subjected to any security measures they have set up for screening. They may deny you access to the plane, but that's your problem. They could say "We'll only fly passengers wearing pink socks". They wouldn't get much business, but they could do that if they wanted to. It's their plane, it's also their right. The airline industry is a private industry. The government mandated security requirements are only the minimum. There is nothing preventing the industry from responding with even more stringent standards than the government is imposing.
To determine how involved the government is, they weigh the rights of the private industry against the rights of the people that cross the path of the airplane with the security risks in mind. With the danger involved in operating an airline in hand, I agree that whatever security measures they choose to implement are fair and reasonable.

Would a Lunatic pass a Polygraph if he really believed what he said?
Yes. The causes for which a lie is detected are things like respiration and heart rate. These things wouldn't be affected by someone who isn't nervous about what they're saying.
That's why it is evolutionary. It isn't anything remarkably different from many Unices. It is in fact, very much a clone of the best pieces of many popular Unix varieties. Having the GPL license gives it the boggest improvement over previous Unices; it can become whatever people need it to be.
The player synchronization code would be really different. However, this is a really good idea. And, you're not that far off. There are several ways this could be handled. There are provisions in OpenGL whereby a program can store a list of polygons and render them by issuing a single command. If this apparatus were to be extended to run over the network, the client could do the same type of thing. When connecting, the most often used nondeformable objects could be sent to the client and rendered later with only a few-byte command send over the network. Such things would seriously reduce network bandwidth consumption. The rest is pie...:)
In fact, Open Source wasn't invented by RMS. Open source has been a longer idea than closed source.
True, Linux didn't invent it; but his proliferation of it has done some very good things for the "OSS Way". The Linux kernel has been one of the most successful examples of something truly *free*.
Actually, if Microsoft implemented Ogg, they'd probably just steal it. Extend and de-commodotize it, and not tell anyone.
Then, with a final blow, they'd call it Bogg to create customer confusion and they'd trademark the name. Really, we all know Bogg would get it's name from being so big and slow, Bogging:) the whole system down.
The 'no-fees' should be the best supportive point for proponents of free software. Obviously, from a technical standpoint, Ogg can stand tall on it's own merits. It should provide a much better stream for those who currently have to pay big money for their servers.
Now, if only Windows Media Player came with an Ogg codec preinstalled, Ogg could take over the world!
I wouldn't go that far. For the most part, yes you are correct. However, many Saudi officials have been named as sponsors of terrorist activities. There have also been a few terrorists that have been born there.
Typically these would include various racial groups which the US has declared war on right now.... You cannot under any circumstances declare war on a race of people.
If you typed it out wrong, ok. This is very easily misinterpreted as racism. If I am the confused one, I apologize.
This is obvious flamebait. You also are an uncultered american. There are many people who don't celebrate christmas for reasons other than their race. Jews and Jehovah's Witnesses for example both do not celebrate Christmas.
The US has been very diplomatic in conveying the idea that we are not anti-Muslim. We are anti-terrorist(which includes their passive supporters). Which also begs the question: Why aren't we doing anything about the Saudi's? But, alas, I'm off topic now.
My point is, don't be racist. It's rude and inconsiderate. A Muslim can no more change his/her heritage than you can your 'whiteness'. Of course, I only make the assumption that you are white because someone of another race would likely be a little more sensitive to the issue.
Must be my really low user id. Everyone thinks I'm smart cuz I've been here so long:)

No, the moderator thing works. You just need to say something really intelligent before anyone else.
No, we were spoiled. We were sold y, and received x for quite a while. Economic downturn and the logisticals requre that we now receive only what they originally promised, not more as we've become accustomed.
On a side note... AT&T has been contemplating these very events for over 4 months now. They've had a very long time to set up for this. attbi's network is seperate and wholly new(afaik) from AT&T's WorldNet service. This should leave plenty of bandwidth for us all, seeing as they almost assuredly left some room for growth.
I'm thankful that AT&T was so forward-thinking in this entire ordeal. Had they not been so insightful, we(AT&T users) might all be up shit creek now.

Get a sig like mine. Moderators either love you, or they hate you.
Yes. That's why they pulse.
I was hoping for a spinning pulsar :)
They didn't have to. They ended up settling, thank god.

It's nice to see Linus credited for such an evolutionary piece of software and a revolutionary way of software development.
I give my congratulations and my thanks.
Anyone else read nano-tech sci-fi shorts? I love 'em. Can't get enough.
So, when do I get my assembler?

Be Kind.
What's your point? Did you even read the article? no? That's what I thought. Why don't you go read the article and come back later.
I did however read it and there are a few scary points brought out. What do I think? I think I want a "Federal Government Comment Card".
Here's a link to some interesting things about the governemt that most people don't know.
Yes, the government often speaks out of the side of their mouths. However, this is blatant and obvious miscoduct.
There should be some inquiry into this matter.
In bad form, I'll reply to my own message.
:)
But, haha. Look, my karma goes up already.
