I know! And what's with the erbium deuteride (ErD2) target? When I duplicated their results in my garage this afternoon, I found that you get much better results with a radium deuteride (R2D2) target. What were they thinking?
When I used to work at IBM in "Usability", and icons had to approved by many different national offices. I had heard that a group was making a icon that resembled a tree for an imaging product. It seemed pretty generic, but IBM Japan rejected it, saying simply "No mushroom clouds, please." The icon was redesigned, and I understand there were very few complaints about the process after that.
Regarding this person you're looking for, I think you're in luck. There are several guys at my office who meet this description, including a few who are very interested. Expect to hear from them soon!
I remember that day! I stepped on a scale, and just for a second the dial spun rapidly before it settled down. It must have been a quark passing through me! I think it may have left an extra 20 pounds behind too!
We got a lot more out of it than 6 bytes of info, though. The costs were amazingly huge, but the benefits of the sacrifices made were truly unmeasurable.
Copyright infringement IS the worst kind of theft, since it's trivially easy. The BEST kind of theft would be something huge and difficult. For example, stealing all the gold from Fort Knox in the U.S would be one of the best thefts I could think of.

Be careful applying this formula. For many first posters, you will get a "divide by zero" error.
A friend of a friend of mine reported that this has actually been accomplished before. Apparently, he knows a guy who actually bought a scramjet which was accidentally sold at a NASA surplus auction. To test it, he tied it to the roof of his car!

Scramjet Car
I grew up about 20 kilometres away from Mr. Schmeiser's farm.
I'm not a farmer, but I have previously asked a couple of farmers I know about this case. While they don't like Monsanto's tactics (it doesn't seem fair that you can't save the seed you grew yourself), they privately question the claim that the seed just "blew onto the field", as it just doesn't seem likely.
Also, I know someone who knows Mr. Schmeiser, and I'll just say that they consider him more of a businessman than a "poor farmer".
All I'm saying is that there are a lot more details to this case than can be summarized in one short article. Aside from the larger question of genetic manipulation, though, I don't think many farmers in this area are going to be losing any sleep over this particular case.

So what?
I already have a calculator that runs on light.
Maybe Philips will sue for patent infringement anyone else who forces users to watch ads, and we'll never be forced to watch ads again!
If only life were like that.
The search part I can see, but if I needed to be rescued, I'd prefer they send a helicopter.
There is no proof this works. They were just able to fool the BBC reporter into trusting their supposed research results.

Er, wait a second
The number is (2^25964951) - 1
I won't tell you what both the prime factors are, but I'll give you a hint. One of them is 1.

FTC Tries to Can Sex (is that like bottling it?)
FTC Tries Can Sex (not sure what that is, but I can imagine)
FTC Can Sex (well, good for them!)
FTC Sex (sounds kinky. Perhaps it involves committees?)

I also think we should limit the phone system to only people who say nice things.
Other than speed, is the "privacy problem" with Google's search tool any different than the one that Microsoft builds in to the desktop toolbar?
Heck, even my old 300 baud modem has a "one gigabyte transfer speed", if you measure in bytes per decade.

While important, feeding people is only keeping them alive...
It doesn't address the issue of keeping them safe
Good point. It's a lot easier to keep corpses safe than live human beings.
Not all of the 100 million being fed are in a war zone. What about those that are flooded out, have crop failure, are in extreme poverty, etc.
Please don't dismiss the importance of keeping 100 million people alive. If you're dying of starvation, food is your most important problem.
Generally speaking, these still work. I got used to them and still use them regularly today in virtually all Windows applications.
By the way, Cut is Shift-Delete
Perhaps it's more expensive because, like on that TV commercial, you can program it to eat your date's clothes.

Isn't that redundant?

If I would have had that, I would have had more money and better parties.
