In the bottom frame put "Flash Advance Linker" in the edit box, and hit search.
You'll get a page with a big heading of "October 30, 2001". It's about the 3rd letter on this page. Just search for "Flash Advance Linker" on the page and you'll find it.
Go back to customs.gov, and do a search for "Flash Advance Linker" and you'll see that NOA is not bull-shitting.
They've obviously had their in-house counsel hard at work on this case, and apparently the courts have given the U.S. Customs the authority to make these decisions about, and interpretations of, U.S. copyright law.
Unless some heavy hitters get involved (e.g. EFF, et. al.) to help him out, then I'm afraid this guy has only a very steep, uphill battle.
It is sad, but the reality is that NOA will almost certainly win this.
I think what the article should have empahsized more is that inviting quacks to inundate Mendocino is bad for the economy. Not because of the lack of wireless or Internet access, but because of the lack of intelligent citizens.
Should've gone for the Ultrastar series SCSI drives. I've been using those exclusively for the past four years. I've got 30 of them and haven't had a single failure yet.
I've got a dual Pentium III 800 system and even with a fairly stuffy case (lots of SCSI ribbon cables jammed in there) the temperature averages 44C. Yours is approaching double that... seems fairly toasty to me.
Sorry about the name calling, but you've got to be kidding!
Have you ever had gravity hold you down to the floor while you're several floors up in a building?
Same thing. The pulse passes through the wall, in fact it acts on both the wall and the pendulum, it's just that you don't visibly *see* the effect it has on the walls. Sheesh!
It never ceases to amaze me how easily the/. Gestapo becomes aroused. As soon as someone starts doing something they don't like, they all scream, "BAN IT! SUE THEM! KILL THOSE BASTARDS!"
Get a grip! If the vast majority of consumers dislike a certain type of marketing practice enough, it will eventually cease to exist. This is the way free markets work. Let it run its course and the market will decide whether this type of advertising will survive or become extinct.
Actually, the courts have never been asked this question. The couts say Microsoft can't bundle IE with Windows. But that doesn't stop Microsoft from simply pulling Windows' "Open Platform" status and making it completely proprietary.
Yup read it again and it's still as big a waste of money as it was after I read it the first time.
Ah, but your exceeding reading skill told YOU that this is NOT the Bernoulli Principle at work, is the miniature hurricane.
You think the low pressure center of a hurricane has nothing to do with the low pressure air moving around it?
You can spin it, or you can move it in a straight line, you can even call it a "miniature hurricane". It's still low pressure caused by setting areas of the fluid in motion.
God, Is the average intelligence of the posters going down on Slashdot?
Yes, apparently it is. Thanks for providing the evidence.
Everyone is a fricking armchair scientist!
I suppose having an article about one's experiments published by a newspaper suddenly elevates one from "armchair scientist" to "real scientist".
So, let's see you and this new "scientist" who has been so distinguishingly published are both saying the low pressure center of a hurricane has nothing to do with the low pressure air moving around it? Hint: fluids will exhibit a tendency to move from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure.
I'm not sure which "parent" post you speak since you replied to the only post I had made to this thread.
Nevertheless you can send your logic police home, because I never claimed that Windows was open. I'm just saying that there's no rule that says it must be.

So, it's true... in the future the machines really will turn us into living power sources.
If you look into it, you'll find out that the clients don't need to download any software. They just need to properly configure their web browser.

These are two totally different feats. The iPIC is brand new hardware designed specifically with this application in mind.
The Lisa is 18 years old and was designed to show pie charts, not serve web pages.
Uh, no, actually it is a 6502. You obviously have never owned a Commodore 64.
Leave it up to a Mac user to simply throw his machine in a flimsy cardboard box and call it "well packed".
I think God is punishing you, dude.

Because it's much cooler (pardon the pun) to watch them Athlon's instantaneously start frying and the heatsinks would just block the nice view!

JonKatz's Secretary: Mr. Katz you have a telephone call on line one.
JonKatz: Who is it?
JonKatz's Secretary: It's a Mr. Alexander Graham Bell
JonKatz: Well what does he want?
JonKatz's Secretary: I dunno... he seems a little crazy... something about rolling over in a grave...
I guess what I don't understand is why Phillips thinks that people will want one of these more than a Sony MDLP player/recorder?
Oh, Christ! Thomas Jefferson is rolling in his grave!
Popular Mechanics? Oh you better believe that's a paddlin'.
Take a deep breath, go back read the article again, then think about it some and come back and write a new post.
The point of their paper has nothing to with superconductivity or any electromagnetic fields. Gravity. Gravity! Gravity!!!!
You dumbass!

To all the whiners out there...
Pay more attention to what you're installing on your computer!
It's always so easy to blame the other guy for our own shortcomings.
Look, dumbass: unlike lowest-common-denominator folks like yourself I don't pride myself on my keen ability to understand poorly written sentences.
Read the reply before yours.

Use some "fricking" <p> tags!
Explain to me now how not having Microsoft Word is going to give kids a "poor education".
