This sort of enforcement seems to go way beyond the protection that a trademark normally gives. Will ads like the Pepsi Taste Test be forced to only mention "the other leading cola"?
Once they've nailed search results for competitors, what about critical sites that warn that your new SUX 6000 SUV has C4 in the airbags, or that Louis Vuitton is a poo?
GM crops have tremendous potential in regions such as Africa
As much as the potato in Ireland.
Of course the Famine was a result of using an imported genetic mono-crop, but I also thinking of the change, across Europe, that the introduction of potato from the Americas after 1492 created. It allowed the production of a lot of food in a small area and was army/pillage/tax resistant. A mixed result; that extra food allowed a population increase available for colonizing abroad, but helped make areas like the Balkans such fractal hate zones. (Yep, the potato is the root of many problems. Sorry.)
Nah, I get the impression that this is the galactic version of Cops where some drunken redneck is running from the police in a demolished car riding on the rims. Pretty soon we'll spot red and blue flashing pulsars in hot pursuit.
Bad stars, bad stars! What ya gonna do when they come for you...?
There will be effects however, considering the velocity I would expect relativistic phenomena.
Even more if you stand up and hold out your arms! (But they probably have a sign up to keep your arms and legs inside your reference frame at all times.)
Along with fellow applicant Professor Christopher Shaw, of the Department of Neurology, Institute of Psychiatry, at Kings College, London, Prof Wilmut now plans to take the DNA from the skin or blood of a person with motor neurone disease and implant it into a human egg from which the genetic material has been removed.
Won't the egg will have to retain the mitochondrial DNA? (Factory sub-cells) Aren't some of the motor neurone diseases connected with that?
We're trying to measure the universe with a yardstick of one planet with life. Hopefully we'll recognize other life when we see it. (Or want to recognize it. They're made out of meat by Terry Bisson is always funny.)
The OP was complaining about the bandwidth. An occasional hit from wget isn't as likely to be a problem. Most broswers aren't set up to fake headers, and certainly not at the direction of site x that's linking pictures from site y.
Does your server allow setting up rules by refering site? If a lot came from one place, point them at a "deep linking not accepted" image or give them a 302 redirection back to an image on their site. You could generally turn off deep linking by file type (e.g. jpeg, gif, etc), but that seems extreme.
I'm sure that the slice and dice of production and sales price balance in the diamond world makes the history of OPEC, drug lords, royal families or prohibition gangsters look tame at times.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Some planets in our galaxy could harbor an unexpected treasure: a thick layer of diamonds hiding under the surface, astronomers reported on Monday.
No diamond planet exists in our solar system, but some planets orbiting other stars in the Milky Way might have enough carbon to produce a diamond layer, Princeton University astronomer Marc Kuchner said in a telephone news conference.
How about that then? (Never mind what diamonds would be worth if you could get to those worlds and haul back planet-loads. De Beers would be honked, I'm sure! I'll be dispointed if there isn't a slight wobble in diamond prices tomorrow.)
I don't mind it for when it's supposed to be the view from an "in game" camera: held by character, security remote, etc. B5 used it for Maintbot views. But when it's supposed to be from an omniscient viewpoint, can't they give God a steadi-cam?
To warm Barsoom, all we have to do is locate the Atmosphere Plant and fix whatever has been damaged. (There's a few regions which had their own local plants, so maybe if we locate all of them, we can MacGyver something out of all the parts.)
Start the torrent download. Go on the date. If it completes before the end of the date, you'll be seeding it for everyone else. (Seeding jokes omitted.)
Does this make a difference to projects like Mono? And what's the catch? Can I use the source for anything useful without being tackled by lawyers? If I look at their source am I tainted forever?
That article is fluff. He could only find cites back to 1946 for either version? More like hundreds of years and at least a hundred for the could care less variant. (I'm not going to rummage through my paper references for that.)
I'll agree with lazy, wrong and just plain annoying. The people who use could care less have no idea that it's supposed to be sarcastic.
Perhaps. The Agent API is quite powerful with text to speech and speech recognition supported. But the best that's been managed is stuff like Clippy, CyberBuddy, and add ons for Power Point presentations. Not a stunning record after 8 years. Cute is easy, but doesn't stay cute long. Useful is hard. (And using it for a help or search function wasn't useful.)

That's not what pe1chl said. He said that they are the enemy of his enemy (spammers). That doesn't make MS his friend however.

Ha! I made my saving throw and only take half damage!

Larry Fast and Synergy (samples) are worth looking at. It's amazing how much hardware was required for those first albulms.
Darn right! If someone clones that dead granny copyright-terrorist, they want to be ready!
That leaves pizza deliveration then.
Or just wear a mask as the Clone Arranger, leaving behind a silver bullet against disease...
That's no moon, it's an engagement ring!

No wonder no one is trying to talk to us: We're boring! "Never mind that one FZKK, life could never develop there."

The tightrope didn't snap. They just discovered that the other end is tied around their necks.
