I agree. I have an old 486 that will NOT boot
unless I tell the BIOS that there are NO hard drives.
I have to boot it via a floppy with a kernel on it.
Exactly. This will not work. In the State of
Missouri in fact, there are loopholes so that
the politicians will be able to get the list
and *legally* spam those that signed up.
Ideally, shouldn't the examiner be blind to the identity of the applicant/assignee, to avoid bias?
Why? They are blind to prior art and common sense
today, why would you believe that
the examimers not knowing the identity of the
patent applicant would make any difference?
This is to be expected. Imagine the atmosphere
as a balloon. If you heat it, it will expand.
And not only that, but it's surface area will
stretch and become thinner. Now imagine that
the surface area of the balloon is the earth's
ozone. There is only so much to spread around,
and it becomes thinner and thinner. In the case
of the balloon, it will pop of course, in the
case of the atmosphere, it will re-organize
itself in whatever state the laws of phsyics decide it should be organized. I.E, the ozone "hole". My point here is that the ozone "hole"
can exist not just because of CFCs, but also
because of Global Warming.
Oh, but they do. Windows is used, along with
just about every popular OS (including Linux).
Most likely, they want to check for vulnerabilities
for viruses and trojans. Basically, they are
admitting that they are locked in to using Windows,
and are not in the position to phase it out.

SBC lured her away to get her out of the way.
I agree. Having had ganglion cysts for a long time, I've used the smashing method when I needed to have a different pain in my wrist. It works.
You must consume massive quantities of water.
A search of 'Google self-awareness' does not reveal any evidence that Google *is* self-aware.
Of course, a search-engine should not search itself, but a separate hidden Google could search the public Google...
Maybe HAL has the answer.
The universe will continue to expand until all of the politicians are gone.
how does this robot drink all of that scotch?
A search for 'ask slashdot correct answer'
returns 10,400 hits.
A search for 'ask slashdot'
returns 104,000 hits.
Therefore, I would conclude that Slashdot going directly to the source immediately is very rare.
Obviously YMMV.

Great...
now I have to wait 9 months to know for sure.
Another analogy would be living(?) in North Korea.
Until they escape their reality, they don't know any better.

The main goal is to prevent the users from trying Linux.
You should never go without a floopie!
Never. Whether you buy or build.
Yep, preview works. I guess I owe a licensing fee now.
The desire to do it right.
Plus volcanoes.
As long as they avoid the pr0n, bandwidth should be good.
Anyway, it's great that Tux will have broadband available in his neighbourhood.
but I'm surprised Microsoft isn't complaining already!

RIAA wants that to happen sooner.
Sure he was making a fuss. He had *his* eyes on the rest of that hot-dog.

Do you feel Microsoft is out of control?
I agree. More likely, they were used for their braking effects going downhill.
