First, assuming you're a MicroIBM exec, and you had created and patented TCP/IP, there would be no internet or web because everyone would first have to pay you to even access the net
Just because there is a patent on a technology does NOT mean the patent holder will try to make the users pay for the use of the technology specifically. You're not alone in thinking this, but it doesn't make any sense. So what licensing scheme would you come up with for TCP/IP, and how would you enforce it? Same with web services... what would you do?
MS and IBM don't plan to screw around with these basic patents. What they probably WILL do is applications that are actually marketable that use these technologies, and then sell those. Which is what all companies do.
If you're not convinced, realize that MS has many patents... how many can you name that you are being charged licensing fees for today? Has MS ever charged to use Visual Basic for distributed applications? How about for using icons in your applications? They have much better ways to make money and exert control then charging for a patent that they obviously should grab up.

I used to have the same problem in college, but then again, I went to class several times a day, 5 days a week, 2 semesters a year, for several years. I fell asleep (mentally if not physically) many times, even in 1 hour classes. Now that I'm out of school, I have no problem paying attention to a 5 hour training session. It's actually a nice break. It's not like I do it every day, or even every week.
More generally, it allows you to convert one XML structure into another XML structure... kind of like turning your shirt inside out and tying it up into a ball... same shirt, different shape. A good XSLT can throw down some powerful shapeshifting on an XML document that would take a long time to implement though any other XML manipulation API.
The "Other" Way, or, more clearly, OUR way, goes something like this: I am personally accountable for my actions.... <snip>...If something goes catastrophically wrong, its a lesson that would have been learned anyway. I dont care where the herd is going. I am the Sheperd, not the sheep.
Boss: "Um... ok. Let's go back to that part where you said you were personally accountable for your actions. As much as I like that, and respect that, it means that Bob in IT can't take the fall for you this time because you lost all your files and set the company back 3 months. This is a pretty easy decision. You're fired."
You're forgetting, this is IE. New browser windows take a negligible amount of time to launch. And I've been using this functionality for longer than even one year... more like 3 or 4. The thing is, that's the functionality I'm used to, and am sure I'm just as efficient and comfortable with it as you are with tabs.
The unfortunate thing about tabs is that you they constrain you to a single environment for your browsing. I like to be able to position windows side by side, hide some and show others. When you're windows launch quickly, you've got to admit it's much more flexible.
Uh, you might also consider yourself under the somewhat misinformed. That feature's been around since IE4, and by virtue has been built into Windows since Windows 98.
The sensor doesn't discriminate based on what's being carried in. I don't think it would take me more than a few tries to realize that I can't open the door with something in my hands/arms/mouth. If it was tuned to only allow the door to open if my pockets were empty, I'd probably figure it out, but then again cats don't have the pocket option... you're either carrying something in your mouth, or you're not carrying anything at all.
I would generally call what they're describing "practice." It's not a mutation. Is it a mutation when people who normally bat right handed learn to bat left?
Of course, it's reason 1002 why you shouldn't use Windows, because all spyware targets it. And when Linux becomes a more common operating system than Windows (uh, yeah), it will be reason 1003 not to use Linux.
... the pockets are so large and deep that you can fit 52 full sized music CDs in the pocket without damaging them. In addition, our ProtoSleeve(TM) technology, which surrounds the contents of your pocket with a steel shank, will keep the CDs from getting bent or scratched!

I would buy this meat if only it had a flexible CD packaged with it!
Dude. I ALWAYS think that. Except for the edibility factor, meat is just not that appealing to consumers. Now, if it came with a "Beef. It's What's For Dinner" Flash animation on a CD, I would be all over it.
The AOL CDs I get in the mail don't hold up very well either. They tend to break on the second or third (accidental) bending. They also scratch very easily, especially if I accidentally scratch them with a razor blade. Finally, after being broken in half and scratched, they don't make very good frisbees. I was kind of hoping for better things from this flexible format.
...the website or CmdrTaco have come up with a reason for me to care about this huge milestone in technological advances.
So what do you want here? A sidebar on all articles that says "YOU WILL CARE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE:..."? The last article I read about case mods didn't have that, and as such, I didn't care about it. Someone tell me what's interesting, please.
How about for magazine subscriptions? If it's a magazine where they send you a demo disc or the like every issue, they'll just send you the adapter with the first issue, then never again. And then the benefits pay off... they can send multiple CDs per issue, from different vendors, and not have to worry about bulk.
Java works on all the III series if you have enough memory to hold the JVM (which even just the III has... you just won't have room for anything else.) I used to use it on the IIIxe. I don't know where the Palm V era figure came from.
We don't want to take your guns. We sure as hell don't want anything to do with them. We just hope that one day everyone's gun closets spontaneously disintegrate.:)
For the same price ($300 + $200) you could get a much more powerful headless PC to use as a Linux render box. Even if you already have the PS2, for $200 it's relatively easy to find a decent used PII or Celeron machine that is Mhz for Mhz about the same as a PS2. Of course that doesn't mean too much since we haven't seen the PS2 in action, but do consider it... and you don't have to wait until May for that.
If the attachment is opened, then the worm uses the Outlook address book to send messages--with a copy of the virus attached--to every address in the book. It then deletes the e-mails from the sent folder and removes the copy of itself.
.NET exe files won't run unless the framework is present. They are "dead" exes that do nothing when double clicked. So the question is... is the bulk mailer part native code or.NET code? Read on...
On PCs loaded with Windows XP and other.Net-enabled computers, however, Sharpei would additionally infect files in four other folders. If those files were opened, the virus would run again.
This *additonal* behavior that affects.NET enabled computers is the part that could possibly be written in C#, and it looks like it's not responsible for any of the bulk emailing... it just runs the native executable portion again, which does the bulk mailing. And by the way, XP is not.NET enabled. I think this is either a hoax or a very misunderstood virus.
I realize, however, that actually PAYING for software is a completely foreign concept to most Slashodotters, so you can probably find a keygen for it too.
You can't get a keygen to solve the similar problem experienced when using two different tools that are functionaly equivlanet but that have thier controls in different places, which is what the point actually was.
I don't think what he said about creating a UI that "doesn't need preferences" doesn't mean the UI is fixed in stone. What about a UI that learns from the user and configures itself?
Oops, I meant "I don't think what he said about creating a UI that 'doesn't need preferences' MEANS the UI has to be fixed in stone." Sorry for the confusion; I need to sleep now.:)
