maybe not incorporated, but he is collecting money for his "services". This guy is going beyond saying "this worked for me!" and is pushing it on other people, treating his own anecdotal experience as a one size fits all cure for anyone with diabetes.
They wouldn't have to visit the site, just infect the USB drive of someone visiting the site. It'd be a lot easier to target someone who would have reason to visit the site, including foreign contractors.
He's talking about OpenGL being good at cross-platform support, not Direct3D. Because Direct3D doesn't have cross platform considerations, that's allowed Microsoft to make more significant changes and pull ahead of OpenGL without worrying about breaking compatibility with other vendors' implementations.
imagine car manufacturers making identical (not just closely resembling) exteriors. The idea is to be able to recognize something not just by the label or logo (trademark), but by the shape and appearance of the thing itself.
paying staff is an expense. True, you get more profit if you reduce your expenses, but unless you're overstaffed cutting staff will limit your ability to bring in income.
More true than you know. A friend of mine started working for the the patent office not too long ago with the explicit instruction to reject everything that comes across his desk.
nobody has asked for it aside from the only site that does background checks; it's a brazen attempt by true.com to burden their competition with large disclaimers effectively saying "THIS PERSON MAY OR MAY NOT BE A CEREAL RAPIST"
but when has a bar ever voluntarily disallowed smoking? Few if any ever have, not because they wouldn't want to but because of the ingrained perception that bars and smoking are inseparable; lose smoking and the smokers will go elsewhere, and new non-smokers wouldn't make up for the difference. There very well may be a market for smoke-free bars (I'd certainly go there), but nobody has been willing to risk it.
He didn't mind being called professor Bucket. He had some of the best-worst math jokes too, made staying awake for his 8:30 AM class that much more tolerable
of course that's still a bad analogy since there's no technological protection on the patents themselves, just the purely legal protection over implementing those patents.
What this whole no DRM and "lock in" nonsense is really about is Steve's insistence on a $0.99 pricepoint. The iPod's locked into iTunes store purchases only so that more industry friendly online stores that would be less resistant to raising prices won't be able to sell tracks for the iPod. If FairPlay was open to other vendors, then other stores could get "exclusive" songs for a higher price, and iTunes' single price point could be bypassed.
the only evidence you're going to get is if you actually pick it up and use it for yourself. everyone who has will tell you it works like that and it works well. the trick is to scale the acceleration just right so it doesn't move too fast or too slow relative to your movements, and the ipod gets this just right. touchpads on laptops can't always do this right due to differing resolutions and adjustable sensetivity. plus the ipod is only moving in one direction, and not by individual pixels.
as for a switch you hold down, at least in my experience it's harder to slow down and release when getting close to what you want than it is to stop turning the scrollwheel. it also helps that you usually don't turn at a constant rate, allowing you the chance to slow down and tell where you are.
What is the copyright/ownership status of these old versions of Unix?
The Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) own (at least): Unix research editions 1 to 7, PWB/UNIX, Mini-UNIX, 32V, System III and System V. Those parts of 2.xBSD which are derived from SCO's stuff is also copyright by SCO. Non-derived parts of anything are owned by someone else (e.g the Regents of the University of California for the BSD stuff).
None of the stuff owned by SCO is freely available, nor is it in the public domain. You must still be covered by a Unix source license in order to have legal access to this material. However, you can obtain a UNIX source for free from SCO's web site.
Dunno what that means exactly, but doesn't look favorable:/
I think it has much more to do with the insane prices. Most regularly priced cds are $15-$20, way more than most chains like best buy who can sell them low to get you in the store to sell you more profitable electronics. That was the reason behind the price fixing that resulted in that class action suit we're all getting $12 from, to prop up these music only stores. Of course the record companies could have easily fixed that by reducing their own prices for music stores, but they couldn't have that, could they?
No, it said "Starting with the 1999 model year, all GM vehicles had EDRs programmed to record about five seconds of pre-crash information." The EDRs were there already, they just didn't record as much before then.
Why were they already there? Because "the prime role of EDRs has been to control air bags and to record information about how well they worked during a crash.", so therefore all cars with airbags have EDRs
I think as long as it's kept to extreme cases like this it's not much to worry about. Anylizing it after the fact of a terrible accident is a big difference from making sensors that broadcast your speeding violations to any police officer with an unfilled quota.

His disclaimer says he isn't an expert but then goes on to imply that experts can't be any better since they're not doing what he is.

In the product description on the brewer's site they claim the animal pelts were obtained from roadkill.
er, air bag

Because in far too many cases these are profits that exist overseas purely on paper.
income - expenses = profits

maybe so, but they still choose the threat of prosecution after the fact rather than regulation and monitoring to prevent fraud before it's committed.

I doubt it, the key to its controls is the PS2's symetric dual analog sticks. trying to use the puny c stick would get irritating

Same goes for explosions, which were still the typical firey red popcorn.
They actually flat out stated that they did this just to piss people off so they'd actually say something about it. That's just... yeah.

I was wondering when someone would get around to that.

You get a D- for reading comprehension.
