Think about things entirely un-work-related while at work. Even if they THINK they own your thoughts, they wouldn't have the first idea how they could benefit from them. Problem solved.
Simple as this... no Steve Jobs... no Apple computers... no iMac, iCal, iPod, iBook... you get the picture. He's one of the men that continues to shape the industry... so when he goes under the knife, people tend to take notice.
"Perhaps someone who is more familiar with this field of research would care to fill us in on the details as the article was rather light."
Okay... Think of prion like television. You can watch a little and it's got a negligeble effect. You can mix it up... change the channel, no big deal. Now consider changing the channel to the WB. There's no plot... no recognizable actors... people are speaking in words you've never heard of. That's like shaking up prion and injecting it into your brain. The only fix is to block the WB and make damn sure your TiVo doesn't know that channel exists. That, and the weather channel. Somehow my TiVo thought I'd like 3 hours of weather on the 8's. Hope that clears things up for you guys.
How can we have a discussion about posting from strange locations without mentioning Junis? Without question, that's my favorite all-time slashdot thread!
"Frantic hours went by as deadline after deadline slipped while crews struggled to find a fix. Malone said he went so far as to start setting up the newspaper's pages on the art department's Macintosh desktops, hoping to get at least something printed."
I'm guessing he gave up when he got to the second ream of paper on his dot matrix printer?
The OSS community needs to attract artists to the OSS movement. Attract artists. Hand over your tools to their creativity and allow them to go wild. Write your software so that it can be expanded with skins, and visually re-configured ad-nauseum by the user. Throw out the existing menu/window paradigm and think beyond what you've grown accustomed to. Write your own GUI widgets instead of dragging and dropping something from your existing library. A technical solution doesn't need to guide the application to a solution of usability... but it should provide enough flexibility so that the users can evolve the application to a usable form that fits precisely their personalized needs.
Anybody else see the irony in all of this? The education market used to be Apple's bread and butter when it came to Apple IIe's and other computers. Looks like Napster is trying to adopt that strategy when it comes to the music industry. Personally, I don't think the same strategy will work.
Kind of surprising to see everyone's response so positive. We built this thing with the intention that it'd cease to function after a certain length of time. It roams around a distant planet pretty much doing as it pleases... usually letting us know what it's up to... but every once in awhile it neglects to check in.
Now it's decided it's not ready to "die". It likes being alive, and whether we want to or not... it's not going to turn off.
Anyone else see where this is going? Give it another decade or two... but keep in mind how congratulatory you were when one of these things on Earth decides it's not quite ready to turn off.
Larson ended up getting much of his money stolen (he kept piles of it around the house to participate in a contest where matching the serial number on a dollar bill would net him a prize) and wasted the rest on a bad real estate investment. He died alone... a sad, broken, poor man.
"Ah, but will it take more time to acquire and install the service pack than it will to install windows itself, as has been the case with certain windows security packs in the past?"

Agreed. I'm building a new system for this, and other upcoming games. I know a lot of people that are doing the same. Creative just lost my money.
... by the way, I'm going to hell ... and all of you with a smirk on your faces are coming with me.
Was he arrested for killing somebody, or watching "Road Trip"?

Maybe they can put one inside Fenway to watch the RedSox terrorize their fans with another losing season.
