Or, rather than doing yoga, he could just not do yoga, and thereby squelch the risk of screwing his back up whilst in one of those crazy yoga contortions.;-)
how about a clear facade for the CD-RW / DVD/floppy? drives? It would probably look much nicer than the beige rectangle that a clear-case owner would have to deal with right now.

You can't take a device, and patent its application to a new situation. Otherwise, I could go out and patent the use of duct tape to construct clothes. Sure, duct tape isn't normally used to make clothes, and I could even describe various techniques of constructing clothes with that duct tape, but it still wouldn't change the basic idea.
This could actually be under "trademark dilution" where by supporting the use of Google's trademark as a verb, they can create a situation where the trademarked term enters the vernacular and ceases to be unique enough to qualify as a trademark..
if i remember that correctly from my business law class. You don't need to directly infringe (use) a trademark in order to be guilty of trademark dilution.
But on the desktop you would still be stuck with Mac or Intel/Microsoft.
Sun currently isn't a player in the desktop market, and the fact is that they probably wouldn't be getting into that market if they bought AMD. This would reduce AMD's market share (assuming my previous prediction was correct about microsoft) because AMD would would no longer be a platform that ran a viable desktop operating system.
Would this be an advantage to AMD in the server/workstation market, sure, but they coulf risk alienating their current desktop customers.
Would it be an advantage to the general public, no. Maybe an advantage to businessness, but the general public will likely have no use for whatever OS Sun would push on AMD's processors.
True but what about when microsoft responds by saying that they won't support AMD's 64-bit architecture if it doesn't support Palladium? Or they could make their operating system slightly incompatible with AMD's chips (with help from their buddies at intel) or whatever...
If I had some mod points (and if I hadn't posted to this thread) I would toss you a +1 insightful.
But yeah, you are right. The point I was trying to make was that Franklin DIDN'T determine thee structure of DNA. So although her work was important, she can't be given credit for what Watson and Crick did.
I also agree that it was a shame that the times held her back. When someone can contribute, and they are willing to, then we should allow them too. All advances in science are for the benefit of humanity, regardless of the gender of those individuals behind them.
I would have to say you are right, except I think that the x-ray diffraction wasn't 90% of the discovery. Franklin's discovery was that 10% that made the last 90% possible.
Thats the same reasoning that lead to the AOL/TW deal.
they could afford it, AOL gained credibility as a media company, Time Warner gained credibility on the internet, AOL got cable subscribers as well as their dial-up users, etc,etc,etc.
But just as AOL and Time Warner didn't fit together, neither do AMD and SUN. The only way that Sun can profit from such a buyout is to buy AMD on the cheap, then kill it and keep the manufacturing capabilities.
Sun isn't an x86 company, they aren't Windows-Friendly. AMD is an x86 company (obviously) and they are Windows-Friendly. AMD isn't a threat to Microsoft, but Sun is.
because franklin was wrong. her x-ray diffraction worked, but she concluded that the nitrogenous bases were on the outside of the molecule..
Watson and Crick built a worable model, including complementary base-pairing, and they went on to describe the semiconservative method of DNA synthesis (which of course was shown to be valid).
Rosalind certainly derserves credit for her work with x-ray diffraction (and she gets it), but she didn't give the world a model of what DNA looks like
256 might be the standard, but plenty of people are running 1GB of RAM right now (possibly even more than that) and the question of when will PC's _need_ 4GB of RAM therefore cannot be answered by when the standard becomes 4GB but rather by when the higher end begins to reach into the realm of 4GB or whichever threshold amount you want to choose.
AH, but most of the market with enough expendable income to afford a Segway (upper middle class +) doesn't live in downtown london. They live in the suburbs.
New Jersey/Long Island/Other Major Suburban Areas have alot more room, and most of the people living there own cars that are more than handy enough for getting here and there.
I can second his claims, its true, teens use AIM. They just do.
Instant Message/Chat networks can only draw in users if someone they want to talk to is allready using it.Trust me, the "cool" kids are probably not going to be the ones to experiment with some new software. So this will die.
The target market for this product is 12-24 yrs old.
I refuse to run Windows, and I refuse to use MSN Messenger. I am a college student, and I can promise that MOST of my fellow college students are using AIM, with a few users of ICQ and MSN Messenger as well, but I promise that most of us won't change. I have had the same screen name for 6 years now! Most of my friends don't change theirs at all either.
Threedegrees will not replace AIM in their target market. Furthermore, as computer "savvy" as my generation is, I doubt they are savvy enough to really appreciate this.
Furthermore, Microsoft doesn't want to have another "Bob" on their hand, so I doubt they will be putting much effort into marketing this.

People also run DirectConnect Hubs on their campuses.
Urge to use last mod-point rising...
no! Must not mod up the Wheaton....

hmmm, good point...
and all I wanted was a case with friggin lasers...
this link made Fark.com too.

Yet another reason to bring your TiBook to Mardi Gras!
Uart has never used, nor heard anyone use ICQ as a verb. He has heard AIM used as one though... hmmm....
because you tried to patent lo-jack?

So is Apple... looks like a bad day for the market!
