The post says "capable of capturing and displaying". Using modern film and a scanner will allow you to capture the data but doesn't help displaying it. From the article:
The second part is to create the display system, which Ross likens to building an "electronic Sistine ceiling." It will have 16 times greater data display capabilities than one currently in use at Sandia, among the world's most advanced. The display would provide an overall view of images at a very large scale while allowing viewers to perceive extremely fine detail.
I like that after installing turbolinux enterprise server 8, based on United Linux 1.0, you get a message "Welcome to SuSe Linux". Seems a bit of a PR exercise rather than producing something anyone cares about.

Maybe he should stick to the console, how can someone so purportedly knowledgeable about a UI to write such an article and patches and also come up with the following sentence:

Tibco's Rendezvous can be used to the do same task as Apple's Rendezvous, i.e. dynamic configuration. They both use multicast and don't require server endpoint configurations like addresses, etc. However Tibco's Rendezvous can also do generic, certified, and transactional messaging and hence Apple's product description does harm by implying Tibco's software has less capabilities, i.e. inferior, to what it really is.
To update the trademark links, Tibco was formally Teknekron:
Is there any particular reason for open or save dialog boxes to be so small? When you are using the application it is clear nothing much else can be done at that point. Why not have a dialog box that fills to the whole screen?
The purpose of the requirement appears to be rather redundant considering the removal of monitoring stations for morse code alerts around America & Europe:
"Reliance on advertising and the inability to measure consumer response through sales figures makes it difficult for artists and record companies to determine hits."
I bet the pirates making ship loads of bootleg CD's i'm sure have a pretty good clue to what's popular. What seems sensible here would be for China to mass produce a POS device that can register CD sales at pirate stores, the UK has a similar device handed out to stores that don't have electronic tills. The device can be cheapily mass produced and the music industry could sponsor usage to encourage pirate disk sellers to use the devices.
I think it will be great if Virgin, Tower, HMV, and all the other stores start setting up new displays just for these copy-protected disks. Then rub it in and have the top 40 for CD's and top 40 for defective CD's. On the displays for defective CD's clearly mark everywhere that they are copy protected and will not work with computers and other CD players.
macs have a slower ui but look pretty

Is Mac OS X Slow?
·
· Score: 1
The only sensible comparison is using a slower PC running XP (a 933 Mhz C3), and a slower Mac running X.2 (a 500 MHz iBook). A lot of the previous comments have stated how zippy things are, I can guarantee that they are not super zippy on the above platforms.
the C3: Windows XP seems to have the goal of being more responsive. XP will update windows section by section, or web page image by image. The instant feed back of some kind of progress gives an illusion of speed. This speed can also be seen in games, and intensive applications like playing a DVD in software, or video conversion.
the ibook: Mac OS X on the other hand has the goal of always looking good. This can mean that while its performing a task you cannot do anything. When viewing a new web page the browser will draw in the background and then display it. When switching applications you notice a significantly longer delay as you assume the window is being redrawn. However other minor UI items like the infamous resizing windows look very slow and jerky. The real surprise however is when you run a CPU intensive application like playing a DVD or DivX video in software - it works! Being used to Windows systems you equate such a slow UI with old CPU's that couldn't handle playing full screen video.
conclusion: G3/4 and Pentiums have equivalent raw processing power, but Mac OS X seems to be the slower UI compared to Windows XP.
I have a feeling the judge can perform similar justice as to the BT case previously. Take the abstract of the patent for instance:
A method and apparatus for creating a computerized market for used and collectible goods by use of a plurality of low cost posting terminals and a market maker computer in a legal framework that establishes a bailee relationship and consignment contract with a purchaser of a good at the market maker computer
that allows the purchaser to change the price of the good once the purchaser has purchased the good thereby to allow the purchaser to speculate on the price of collectibles in an electronic market for used goods while assuring the safe and trusted physical possession of a good with a vetted bailee.
(emphasis added). now apart from being a rather long sentence that implies an auction system where the bidder changes the price after they have won? that doesn't sound a very good system to me.:p

Applica have been doing this for a bit, they also sell 4-station cards so that 5 users can share one PC!
Sony Ericsson have a 1.3 MegaPixel 1280 x 960 16x zoom called SO505iS.
their HelpNow! team which handles contracted IT support from other organisations has no idea about Linux at all.

Ok, how about the Technotrend PCLine Budget DVB-C for only 99 euros, or check out the others at dvbshop.tv.
Try a WinTV-HD or WinTV-D
I wonder whether Ms Oxenhielm solved this first because no one else has heard of Hilberts challenges?
