Unforutately, this represents the worst kind of anti-science in the community at the moment.
If you wish to practice anti-science, the steps are quite straight forward.
1. Take a legitmate debate about the merits of some scientific project (in this case the effects of corporate rights in jointly funded research)
2. Then take an alarmist position, and push it for all its worth (especially if you can take the moral high ground)
This unfortuately is what pseudoscientist have been doing for quite some time now, I just never thought that slashdot would bite something quite so ludicrous...Shame on you.
Perhaps I am a little late here, for which I apologise...but just last year the nobel prize(physics) fo r the invention of the integrated circuit went to...
A physicist at Texas Instruments...
I am affraid that the nobel commitee will be most distressed that they have given the prize to the wrong person...
PS... first commercially available microprocessor is about all you can say for the intel 4004... plus whatever the spin doctors want to add... sort of like that guff about ENIAC being the first computer.
With one you pay way more than necessary to go really fast, and pick up chicks.
But with the other, a thirty year old car still works really well, and picks up just as many chicks...even if the paint job is not quite that shade of red.
I find it difficult to comment on this with any degree of certainty...but
..oh to hell with it, is it necessary to be protected by the first ammendment?...If you by a DVD are you not being sold the promise of being able to watch it when ever you want to?
If Governments create a special piece of legislation for just one player in one industry, they hold themselves to ransom for that industry if the legislation effects those outside the industry in question.
My point, convoluted or not, is that the courts are setting precedents in this case that they will find almost impossible to live up to in the future.
If you are a judge and you read this, think hard...what else are you going to have to do in the future to justify any ruling for the MPAA in this case...
??
hmm...yep I agree...and the maths wasn't all that stressful and difficult...personally having read that patent thingo, I think those guys are pretty clever myself... that asside, all systems of prime number encryption have key generation issues...good luck to them, but what about this for an apprilcation mobile telephone enryption... ?? have a better onw

I am presonally surprised that no one else has connected yesterdays IBM story with todays.
Imagine, a Linux run watch...but how the hell do you type on it?...or could you just talk to it?
