My fault for not clarifying...not by the professor, but people who write books and other random stuff that professors like to use. Ex, if a slide takes a passage from a book.
I dont know about all of the cases tho....it would be interesting to hear from a lawyer who did....
Either way, this is apparently enough to scare most professors away from putting their lectures online.
Well, not really....most course pages cannot be read at all on their own. Many only contain the sylabus and announcements (while there are, or course, some exceptions). OCW puts (at least) the basic concepts online and makes them availible to all. Most professors have written up new problem sets and tests specially for OCW. Also, some courses also have videos online (ex: 18.06 and 8.02). (A lot of courses are only able to provide videos to students because allowing public access would be a violation of copyright laws for materials they use during the lectures.)
Regardless, it is a major step up from simply indexing the pages (these are not the course webpages anyways.) Fairly soon, 1,800 classes (out of 2,000) will be availible. (the other 200 are discussion classes)...although my view of "soon" may be permanently skewed by blizzard...
How is this an intellegent couch when the computer right under it is clearly doing all the work? Why even make it a couch? Why not just attach the sensors to the computer? I mean judging who someone is by weight isnt very accurate most of the time.
Either way, all of this is very easy to do...I will be amazed if they sell any one of these operating tables...i mean couches
not unlike telling people what they can do, instead of telling them what they cannot do. Then again, with the amount of adult sites relative to kid sites, it is most likely beneficial
2.) Soon, the voice file will not be in a seperate file; one will only have to click on the e-mail to hear it
3.) Microsoft will see that people are tired of sending e-voice#-mail with delays between them, so they create a technology to allow them to connect and talk to each other instantly
4.) Microsoft realizes that it can create a product for e-voice#-mail which is much smaller, so it does
5.) Microsoft discovers a way for e-voice#mail to be exchanged over regular POTS wires
6.) Microsoft releases the their latest innovation...the telephone

I've stayed out of this for now, but I do think I should lend a little justification to the version number thing.
First off, I think I forgot to count some time ago. If I'd started on 6.0 and made every release a major version (I think that's how Linux releases are made these days, right?;), we would be on Slackware 47 by now. (it would actually be in the 20s somewhere if we'd gone 1, 2, 3...)
I think it's clear that some other distributions inflated their version numbers for marketing purposes, and I've had to field (way too many times) the question "why isn't yours 6.x" or worse "when will you upgrade to Linux 6.0" which really drives home the effectiveness of this simple trick. With the move to glibc and nearly everyone else using 6.x now, it made sense to go to at least 6.0, just to make it clear to people who don't know anything about Linux that Slackware's libraries, compilers, and other stuff are not 3 major versions behind. I thought they'd all be using 7.0 by now, but no matter. We're at least "one better", right?:)
Sorry if I haven't been enough of a purist about this. I promise I won't inflate the version number again (unless everyone else does again;)
we apparently havent learned anything; this is not a microsoft research (or development) project; it was a personal project by a person who worked for microsoft reasearch
I figure that there R&D needs a little bit more than smiley's to impress me
microsoft research is a think tank; it does not care if you are impressed or not. chances are you refuse to read/cannot understand the technical papers on the site anyways.

Where would we be without it?
Wouldnt the "right" frequency vary significantly from plant to plant? Or are they planning on providing a fake plant?
It's too bad this e-mail address is most likely going to get spammed like crazy...

Seriously...this is nothing
Are you actually going to make a decent attempt at running? Or are you just trying to squeeze desperate geeks out of money?

actually, the moons of jupiter are much more likely to have life than mars. there is a reasonable chance of life on many of them
they're not saying that they are ideal conditions; they are saying that they are conditions in which it is possible for life to thrive
I too have discovered a tool for removing economic scarcity...it's called a gun
that's the job of the distrobutions, not the kernel

I'm suprised nobody else seems to be annoyed with the version inflation of both red hat and mandrake.
.0 releases are starting to loose their meaning...mandrake even passed AOL for gods sake!
Pretty soon, they will have to start using random letters, like "PX" or "EM"
HA! You think you have it hard? I don't even have a computer! I just send and read voltages directly from each ethernet copper wire!

it was only a matter of time before hackers showed an interest in this OS
...it had to be said
hackers? interested in linux?! no way!
