So let me get this straight... you are trading some lame computer time for more computer time?
This does not make sense. Learning to program Java is useful, IF you want to be a programmer. This is not much different than playing basketball ALL the time as a kid, hoping to make it to the majors. If you make it, great; if you don't, you have nothing on which to fall back.
A better solution would be to split the time between the computer and the library, reading real books. You can read about real scientists doing real science.
This rush to sue people for patent infringment wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the CMGI stock price is off a little from it's 52 week high of ~ $150?
The recent stockholders meeting was a little tense, however, with little old ladies ready to wring Dave Wetherell's neck!
Sesamestreet.com sues QVC for trademark infringement
New York - January 15, 2001 Sesame Workshop Online (www.sesamestreet.com) is suing QVC for trademark infringment, in a suit filed today in Federal Court. The announcement was made as part of a program to challenge letter trademark infringment worldwide.
Sesame Workshop, also known as Sesamestreet.com, is bringing suit against many of the most flagrant violators . "We having been broadcasting shows that have been brought to you by the letters "C", "Q", and "V" for several decades," responded Kermit the Frog, President and CEO of Sesame Workshop. "Arranging them in an obvious way does not change the fact that they [QVC] are trying to cheat children. We have a very liberal letter licensing policy, and we welcome them apply for a license."
It is well known that Sesame Street drove another children's program, "The Electric Company" off the air and out of business, when TEC attempted to use unlicensed letters to make words during their program.
"This unauthorized use of these letters by QVC is an infringement of the Sesame Street marks," said attorney Stanley C. Waldorf III, of Statler and Waldorf, LLC. "That is, their use of the letters "C", "Q", and "V" is likely to cause the public to believe that they are sponsored or approved in some way by our client. In addition, their use of these letters constitutes false advertising, because it misrepresents the nature, characteristics, qualities and origin of their commercial activities."
Although not available for comment, it is believed that IBM, HP, and AT&T are targets for the next round of lawsuits.
On the back of the Napster scandal, a terrifying new copyright-defying threat has appeared on the Internet. Sinister bands of underground grannies with a "hacker mentality" are needling the cross-stitch industry by trading their sewing patterns online. ,br>
Although the problem should be easy to unravel as there are less thieving grannies than Napster users, the scale of the illicit trading still threatens to stitch up the sewing industry. The actions of the old age pirates have forced the needlepoint industry - which refuses to have the wool pulled over its eyes - to consider legal action: "This pierces at the heart of the needlepoint industry," said Jo Weiss, executive secretary of the International Needleart Retailers Guild.
"The people who are doing this seem to have a hacker's mentality and if necessary, we will show them that we mean business," added Weiss. But the underground oldies, who have cottoned on to the new technology, continue to use PCs, digital scanners and internet chat rooms to reproduce and upload the cross-stitch designs. They are saving themselves nearly £10 a pattern and proving that a stitch in time really does save nine.
Apparently, the pirates operate out of eleven or so groups on the net and there is currently little sign of the issue being patched up. "I signed up to one such group and within a few days I got sent so many charts that I couldn't download my email," said Jim Hedgepath, president of Pegasus Originals needlepoint designers.

Wouldn't it be a stitch, if he escaped to the Russian embassy in Canada, claiming political asylum?
Here are the pictures from the pictures from Given Imaging web site.
Also, there's and IBM project that does implement exactly the procedure you describe.
The IBM Clever Project looked pretty cool, but I do not know if anyone ever licensed the technology from IBM.
Scientific American had a write-up of the Clever project, titled Hypersearching the Web

Cyber grans needle sewing industry
On the back of the Napster scandal, a terrifying new copyright-defying threat has appeared on the Internet. Sinister bands of underground grannies with a "hacker mentality" are needling the cross-stitch industry by trading their sewing patterns online.
