On the off chance you weren't being sarcastic or trolling: No, a tonne is not (nor has it ever been) 2000 lbs. It's a metric unit, 1000 kg, which comes out to about 2204 lbs.
Actually the Robert X. Cringely that writes on pbs.org is only 1 person. He was one of the team who wrote the Cringely articles for Info World, but split off on his own, and after a lawsuit, won the right to use the name, but not exclusive of info world using it.

As my URL above may suggest, I don't have anything good to say about Alienware's technical support. Site's down right now, but should be up later this weekend. And maybe I'll put up some of the other people's stories that I've received through the site as well. They suck. And blow.
Actually, that's probably where the part about "Severability" comes in. Essentially, if any part is deemed illegal, the rest is agreed to be still enforceable. So, they'd invalidate the "first born" clause, but keep the rest.
Juding from the description found in that article, I believe that it is possible to enhance old video to higher qualities. What in the description led you to this bizarre conclusion?
Perhaps it was this:
A new technique has been developed for estimating the projective (homographic) coordinate transformation between pairs of images of a static scene, taken with
a camera that is free to pan, tilt, rotate about its optical axis, and zoom. The technique solves the problem for two cases:
images taken from the same location of an arbitrary 3-D scene, or
[snip]
[my emphasis]. It talks about combining multiple frames from one camera to create higher resolution where they overlap. Perhaps you need to read the article.

Well, you're right, you couldn't in the current implementation. The simple method pointers on the components would have to be replaced by some sort of object with Add and Remove methods of its own, which would then insert the event handler assigned into some notification data structure
Actually, you could (and they might) handle this by overloading the assignment operator (assuming VCL is in C++, I'm not familiar with it) so that it did in fact do an Add(). There are issues with this, and it would need to be fleshed out (and you'd have to figure out how to make a semantically similar Remove(), which is problematic), but it's possible. Mostly I'm arguing for pedantry's sake.
The lack of this key feature renders the machine dead in the water
I would argue, based on history, that it won't take long for some enterprising hacker to mod this to allow MP3 copies. And, for that matter, extraction of the files stored on the hard drive.
And they did say it had analog inputs too, so you could play MP3s into it that way. Not perfect, but functional.
And that led to a bunch of weird (to the uninitiated) code like: for i=49152 to 51200: poke i, peek(i):next i
But if you wanted to turn of the ROMs to use the underlying stuff in RAM, this is what you had to do, if you wanted access to some of that ROMs code. Weird, but interesting.
In Spider-Man's and Star Wars's cases, it appears that the piracy either had no effect on the incredible revenue both movies generated, or actually had a marketing effect. People who downloaded the pirate version were *more* likely to go see the in-threater version
You say that like there's real data. If you have some, by all means enlighten us (and help the cause). Now, I'm confident you're probably right, but that's based on people I know, which aren't necessarily an accurate cross section. Without hard data, it doesn't help the cause, and you're only preaching to the choir. "The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data.' " -- Mike Quear, US Congressional staffer

In one message by scorp1us: This soft 'g' has origins lying in French...
In a later message, also by scorp1us: Giraffe is French
From these two statements I would infer that the "gi" soft-g construction is valid.
Besides, m-w.com lists the origin of Giraffe as Arabic.
You asked for it.

No, quite the contrary. Recently, Nissan motors seems to have gained ground.
See the updates at his update site.
There is a class action lawsuit going on currently with regard to exactly those hard drives: see more info here.

The problem with that plan is that there is no end of prior art on that technique.
Get the government's attention. In Canada at least, mail to your Member of Parliament (federal representative) is free -- it doesn't require a stamp.
Mail your AOL CDs (and other junk mail) to your MP. If they get enough, maybe they change the law.
so where did the lack of type checking come from?

Ah, yes, bugzilla the database of Mozilla bugs, as opposed to Bugzilla the project/program.
Crafty stuff. Shame you didn't make your reference to Bugzilla a link, so we could see it in action.
And I just tried it, and it worked fine, so maybe they put a traffic limit on it too?

Dr. Dobb's hardly needs a mirror. They've got an industrial strength site. Damn karma whores.
Guess the sharks thought of that one.

It was a joke, until you told us it was. You ruined it.
Throw in some Tomacco and you have your 4 food groups covered.
So, maybe the 'P' in LAMP stands for "scriPting"? Or maybe "pScripting", with a silent 'P' ("... as in 'pool' " - Benny Hill).

Ah the creativity of limited resources.
Good stuff, which I had mod points for you.
