Lexx wasn't cancelled per se. The producers of Lexx didn't want to create any more episodes. They felt it was getting to be tired in cliched. That's the reason they got a real final episode. Other than that SciFi tends to kill off all its shows in a realitivly short order. Nothing lasts past season two and nothing gets a chance to grow at all. Farscape was an anonmly for them and now it will be really, really missed.
One would think an unbiased compairson would find something java does better than C#. Also, I'm less than trustworth of the article because in the first point it fails to understand the functionality of Java Fields and how they compair to C# Properties.
Atari exists in name only. Infograms uses the Atari name to publish in the US because the name is already well known. The actual company, Atari, died a long time ago.
Yea, but how many people do you communicate with send an email consisting entirely of a picture? With no other words attached at all? My guess, not very many.
The actual assembly line is expensive, but the chips them selves are easy to make and made of cheap parts. At 2.5 billion, the line should recoup its costs selling very cheap chips over the next few decades.
It could be that the page actually has the number 19099 between 19103 on it. And that the number has actually nothing to do with the date at all. These things happen you know.
I believe your confusing public/private with symetric/asymetric. Public/Private terminology is used with asymetric enryption techinques like RSA, but not witrh symetric techniques like AES or DES.
The USB hard drive was slow because the USB bus is very small. Compare USB to Firewire harddrive. The firewire components are much faster in data transfers, because the bit rate on the bus is much bigger (and even thought they're both serial). The IDE Serial bus is much, much faster than USB. Also, serial will allow for even greater speeds in the future, becuase data coherence and timing is easier when there in only one data line instead of 16-32 lines.

Part of the reason that Freon was considered so dangerous, is that the patent was about to run out and instead of fighting it, DuPont lead the effort to get it banned so no one else could make money off of it. It was a very dangerous substance for the earth, but that really wasn't the reason why iy was banned. Maybe Microsoft is trying the same, coming up with a consumer product so horrible, they'll lead the effort to prevent any one else from ever copying it.
Innocent until proven guilty is only for criminal cases. Microsoft would sue you under civil law which states that you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent. There are also lower standards of guilt and you can lose the case if more than half, but not all the jury agrees your side is in the wrong.

Correct civilian gear for centimeter accuracy costs at least $100,000. At the low end. And then it's really a pain to use.
They haven't quit the x86 cold turkey. That's part of the problem, it can STILL run unmodified binaries built for an 8086. IA64 has x86 grafted onto it. That's a big reason why its been delayed for so long and why the performance sucks. There is a lot of hardware on the chip to convert x86 instructions to IA64 instructions. Time that could of been spent making the rest of the chip better, has been spent verifying x86 conversion circuitry. Intel will never drop IA32. They learned that with the iAPX-432, i860, and the 8080. No one wants a chip unless its x86.
This is the oppisite of what the GPL was designed to prevent. UnitedLinux is giving the source with no binaries. Not the binaries with no source. Get some sense or read the article. There is no violation and nothing to "not put up with".
The on-die x86 is slated for future versions of the Itanium. The Merced class actually has software on the chip to convert the x86 instructions into IA-64 instruction. That's why it sucks so much. If the instructions were sent to an 800 MHz Celeron, the processor wouldn't run x86 instructions like a P133. Also I think that the differences between the PA-RISC and IA-64 are much bigger than your post leads on. Were not talking about minor additions (like SPARC to UltraSparc), but completely different way of thinking about how the processor functions. The instructions were developed by the PA-RISC team, but the similarities are only superfical.
And HP is the only one offering a binary layer, because they were the only ones dumb enough to try and provide backwards binary compatiblity. Unconverted RISC instructions just plain suck through a VLIW chip. Everyone else is making their customers do the correct thing, recompile and port. Well that's not true. Intel is offering x86 compatiblity because they've been burned too many times by releasing a chip that doesn't execute x86 instructions (see 8080, i860, IXP 423).

They can only take credit for two of these shows. The simpsons and the Family Guy. The others were made and more importantly shown by HBO or comedy central. And they've tried everying possible to kill off the family guy. Give up being edgy on Fox. They needed to be edgy when they were a start up. Now their one of the big networks and need to keep the viewer tuned in with predictable stuff, rather than steal them with the edgy stuff.

It's on Showtime and they tend to let a series evolve over time since they don't need to worry about pesky things like advertising.

Not if you use IP's instead of an domain name.

That would be interesting since most DMCA cases have only been tried before a judge, without a jury present.

You've never had a pcmcia or usb ethernet card have you?
The reason the penny is still around is it costs less than a penny to make one. That's right the government is pocketing cash for each penny it makes.

Radio waves and light are the same thing. They should work exactly the same.
The PTO would still be in business in that case. The PTO doesn't defend patents in court, the patent holders do.

No, PA-RISC is emulated on Itanium just like x86. The motherboard, etc are all different.
Tell that to Rambus.
