either that, or the thai minister in question lives in a cave and skins small animals for clothing, and is working on the creation of the concept of "blue."
walk the punk CEO into the first conference room to mingle and meet the first five employees.
carry the punk CEO into the second conference room etc.
put punk CEO into wheelbarrow for the third room etc.
pour punk CEO into a glass and carry him into the fourth room etc.
and on and on until all the employees have had a chance to hands-on with the punk CEO.
the Department of Justice can provide marshals to escort the punk CEO from room to room. just tell them that the punk CEO had the contract to manage their health care....
call congressman markey, and ask why he's an ass. better yet, call congressman markey, and ask why his senate colleague from down the road, ted kennedy, has been blocked from flying on commercial airliners. northwest lets you print your own boarding pass on your own computer 24 hours before a flight. anbody can fake a hundred more once they have one.
the present security system is not airtight. you want airtight, you can have it. you will never see daylight again, however.
now, if they had a super-word that consisted of the micromirror positionings for that one bit, they might have something interesting for model shops, lowball product cloners, animation templates, and the like. but the one-pixel image, that's old hat. doesn't matter if it's made with one stab of the charcoaled end of a fire-stick on a cave wall, analog implementation of electronic pulses, sync/position from an 1880s German fax machine, one fraction of a wax cylinder of music... one bit is a fundamental, not patentable. no matter how you got there. otherwise, this could be a $2000 message when the royalty payment to whomever is adjudged to have "invented" the bit is considered.
and history has shown and will show that no post to/. is worth two grand. collectively, there is value.
I refer, of course, to the flying-spot scanner of early (and sometimes late) television.
it was very difficult to make a working early camera tube with lame phosphors, flaky passive components, and nightmare wiring. but it was pretty simple to paint a raster on a screen by comparison. so the object to be scanned was put in front of the raster and a single photodiode vacuum tube picked up the changes in brightness, and modulated the "spot" created by the line and position sweep signals.
old hat by the end of the 1920s, but used as late as the 1980s in super-quaity scanners to encode 35mm and 16mm film for network-quality television. the indian-head generators that took two racks of tubes, and provided the best signal reference at the start of a broadcast day and the best calibration signal for TV repairmen in the field, were all flying-spot scanners.
they're not very credible. apple is a top-5 computer hardware seller again in the retail channel. they're trying to put a spike in what they see as a vampire. pure and simple.
since nobody reads this stuff, it's safe to post.... won't jeopardize my billionnaire status-to-be.
The Machine shall consist of a cylindrical container of wood or plastic, holding a marking substance that has a moderate wear rate, and leaving firm black marks. The Substrate for the Machine to mark against shall be a flat flexible surface of moderate reflectivity and low abrasiveness, with some irregularities across its surface. Upon The Substrate will be recognizeable printed marks labelling each candidate for office, with special areas near the marks for indicating Voter Preference thereby.
The Patent Models submitted for examination in conjunction with this Application shall be called for convenience A Paper Ballot (for the substrate) and A Pencil (for the machine.)
a little box called the Apple II. about a year or so after they made one of the most popular microprocessors in early history, a naked board with a 6502 on it. 9 years before IBM introduced their first PC.
now they don't have to pretext, they can read your cell directly!
HP will never get out from underneath these kind of jokes until all the spies and liars are thrown out and they lead the world in absolutely banning Nixonian tactics.
hey, they're used to make stuff blow up, what could be better? sony makes out like a bandit selling to a bandit. strong buy on sony US certificates. they can even throw in the source code for their rootkit!
so the only one who has any clue how the MS DRM works is some dude out in The Ether who watched bitstreams or something and reverse-engineered a patch for this.
or didn't know aught, but found the section of code or the registry points and routed them to his own routine, which could be as simple as
NOP NOP NOP NEXT
to settle a timing issue.
the judge should get both explainations side by side on his bench and make a summary ruling. I expect it would take about 51 seconds to dismiss with prejudice. meaning MS can't chase this guy/gal/thing/commune any more over the issue.
violation, according to TheStreet.com and reuters.com.
one down, something like 7 to go, being the rest of the board and Hurd.
what is a violation of the code of conduct for one, is a violation for all.
Chicago Tribune had the california AG thinking about going to Hurd's news conference right after the closing bell on wall street. since he's been talking about plastering the place with subpoenas after the new lawyers gagged public comment from HP, I expect he will have five aides with boxes on handcarts to carry them all.
looking a lot like Watergate here, over the same damn thing. somebody got paranoiacally bent out of shape about one of their designated corporate leakers putting out a couple of things the board hadn't agreed to.
it won't end the same way. we can do without a corporation. we can't do without a central government that you can trust to preserve and defend the constitution of the US.
we have here the old question, I think used rhetorically to get some folks thinking about our president and his advisors, of "If Jimmy jumped off a cliff, would you jump off a cliff, too?"
paranoia, spies, and lies is wrong, wrong, WRONG no matter who, when or why.
those HP folks must have been gorging on somebody's stash to risk the company because they don't like reading trade rags. if they don't like reading trade rags, then geez, get real, don't read 'em. drone on with your little laser pointers and bullet points and cash in your options like good little board members, take your junkets, and don't have any contact with the streets. that's what BoDs are supposed to do.

it was RADIUM that marie curie carried in her pockets... ampoules of radium.
there was no plutonium until about 1939, it's a transuranic element.
if you read it in the times, it really happened, and you got it straight.
bloggers are basically loose cannons rolling across the public landscape with zillions of their own agendas.
