Some plants just grow big, tuborous root systems, which occaisionally sprout up new, baby plants. Some other plants (like ivy and spider plants) send out shooters, hoping that one of them will land on fertile ground, root and grow.
I've forgotten the technical names for those "reproductive" methods, but there you go.
These gloves work by shifting some of the heat from more core parts of your body to your extremities.
So, your body notices the core temperature dropping and says "Crikey! Better shut off those extremities even more."
So, aren't these gloves self defeating? And possibly dangerous because they will lower your core temp while simultaneously reducing the options your body has to naturally fight that drop.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think Apple's patent is on the "scroll-less" scroll wheel.
Sure, your synth -- along with many other devices -- had a scroll wheel to facilitate input. Apple's wheel, however, doesn't spin and uses electroresistance or whatever it's called to get data. Kinda like a laptop trackpad.
Here in Canada, you also can't get fired on the spot (well, not for this). You have to receive at least a verbal warning and/or a written warning first, outlining what it is you are doing wrong.
I don't know what the laws in the US are (or even if you are in the US), but you might want to check with a lawyer. A quick consult shouldn't cost you much, if anything.
Did OS developers launch it? Possibly, but my guess is no.
Maybe IBM zealots did. Maybe a bunch of l33t kiddi3z who are following the SCO proceeding thought it would be k3wl to do it. Maybe a Fortune 500 company who doesn't want to pay the licensing fees did it.
Maybe they are just inept enough to leave themselves open to this, so anyone could've done it.
How many book reviews have you read lately? Starting a review by setting up a point of comparison is pretty standard practice. Don't blame the author for/.'s way of posting the first paragraph as a overview.
And "review" is not synonymous with "loved it". The review called what he thought was a spade a spade, and did it in a fairly amusing-yet-informative manner.
I'm not one for sci-fi, personally, but i imagine anyone who is, and who shares the crappy opinion of the Weber books, will appreciate this review-cum-warning.

The core of the book recounts Baker's attempt, in 1999, to persuade the British Library not to junk more than 2,000 bound volumes of American newspapers - the last remaining copies in the world - including a complete run of the Chicago Tribune from 1888 to 1958 and hundreds of editions of Joseph Pulitzer's ground-breaking colour broadsheet of the 1890s, the New York World....
But the library said it needed the space, and, since it is not legally bound to retain hard copies of non-British publications, it ignored him. Undeterred, he joined the birthday-newspaper dealers at an auction for the discarded papers, and spent $26,000 (18,200) of his retirement money on runs of the Tribune and the World. Now they are stored in Baker's American Newspaper Repository - a converted mill in the isolated New Hampshire town of Rollinsford that he shares with the Humpty Dumpty Potato Chips company.
And the chipmunks are just their for the aesthetic.:)
FYI, a very good read on the problem with microfiche storage is Nicholson Baker's book Double Fold.
From the publisher:
Since the 1950's, our country's greatest libraries have, as a matter of common practice, dismantled their collections of original bound newspapers and so-called brittle books, replacing them with microfilmed copies. The marketing of the brittle-paper crisis and the real motives behind it are the subject of this passionately argued book, in which Nicholson Barker pleads the case for saving our recorded heritage in its original form while telling the story of how and why our greatest research libraries betrayed the public trust by auctioning off or pulping irreplaceable collections. The players include the Library of Congress, the CIA, NASA, microfilm lobbyists, newspaper dealers, and a colorful array of librarians and digital futurists, as well as Baker himself -- who eventually discovers that the only way to save one important newspaper is to buy it. Double Fold is an intense, brilliantly worded narrative that is sure to provoke discussion and controversy.

You are correct, sir.

I don't think there is any prior art like that.
Farming out the shit, eh?
Are you my manager?
I assume you meant to say "The US is less densely populated than Europe and Asia".
Otherwise, I'd beg to differ.
Best obfuscation that I've seen presents email in this form:

That would take some mighty Perl to demangle, I imagine.
I see what is meant by backlight now.
... how about the power button? It glows on my G4 tower, but not on the iBook. That's by design, right?
I thought it referred to a backlite keyboard, or a way to make the plastic that surrounds the screen light up (kinda like those makeup mirrors).
Now
You are correct, sir.
Would those movies then be "Frodo's Big Adventure" and "Bill and Frodo's Excellent Adventure"?
My G3/800 dual-USB doesn't have a backlight. Or it does, and I have no idea how to make it work.
Can someone shed some light on this (no pun intended)?
It's the perfect excuse to tell your GF that you now *need* that HDTV.
Yes, the Boilerplate "robot" looks a lot like our sarcastic carton friend.
OMG! And Windows 98 didn't support fast user switching!
If you are going to bitch about something, at least bitch about the latest version of it. MySQL 4.x has been out for over two years.
Exactly what I was thinking.

I suspect the original poster meant American Indian, though, and was probably referring to Lakota brand foods. Can't find a link though.
A quick check with Acquisition (P2P for OS X):
Mozart: 161 results
MC Hammer: 59 results
Maybe he's broke because no one wants his music anymore? I bet you Britney is washed out and forgotten in 5 years too.
Why is it bad for OS developers?
