  2. because of NetObjects Fusion?? on Macromedia Sues Adobe, Claims Photoshop Infringes Patent · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've read on a Macromedia Newsgroup recently that Macromedia bought some patents the NetObjects owned. I wonder if the timeing of the two events has anything to do with each other.

    Heres a little info from NetObjects site:

  3. Re:It's quite simple on The Lone Guns Against Spam · · Score: 1

    Great Idea.

    Doesn't work in practice so well. Some of my freinds don't know how to BCC anybody. I can't tell you how many time I've ended up on a spam list because of email being forwarded a few hundred times.

    When I called the "friend" to complain he told me in a haught,y sarcastic voice: "I didn't know that your email wasn't public"

    People are just idiots!!

  5. Hypersonic Sound on Focusing Audio · · Score: 1

    There is a company that is already licensing products using the interaction of multiple high frequency inaduible waves to produce focused audible sound.

  6. Revenue stream on Does Selling Support Mean Coding Less Features? · · Score: 2

    If your applications require no support then the money spent on support contracts is all profit! Although after a while companies will realize that they do not require support for App 1.0, but by then you'll have App 2.0 on the market requiring a new set of support contracts, and if nobody calls your support lines then more profit for you.

  7. Re:x-37 on NASA's X-37 · · Score: 2

    aka blackbird, possible typing mistake? While the x-15 was incapable of self powered takeoff, it was capable of much faster speeds than mach 1. check out this. the unofficial speed is over 4500 mph. If my math works like it used to do in high school-- mach 1 is the speed of sound at sea level. .2 mps * 60 sec * 60 min = 720 mph, then this gives the x-15 around mach 6.25 if the speed of sound remained constant up to the height which I do not think it does, but I would think that it wouldn't decrease by a factor of 6.25.
