On the other hand, most pagers are now getting email addresses. I know my cellphone/pager has one, I get several work related messages a week that are emailed.
I think that intel was going after 'i' because at the time, it was naming chips i000, where 0 represents a number, eg i386, i486, i860 etc. When they got told they couldn't, they started naming them Pentium.
This also shows the other reason that people don't like microcharges - the content providers aren't proposing anything very 'micro'.
Calvin & Hobbes, 128 pages, say 2 cartoons a page, $8.76 = less than 4c per cartoon. And for your 4c, you get to keep them for ever, or sell it to a friend.
On the other hand, it's much easier to track a steller object, which is basically unaffected by anything smaller than other stars, than an asteroid which is affected by everything else in the solar system.
Very little GPL software was made under the 'work for hire' rules. In the case of software which is made by an individual, or individuals, even if they sign it over to a corporation, the life + 70 years rule would apply.
I found a recent example, which shows just how silly it's getting. The London Underground sued a restaurant in New York, serving UK style fish & chips, because they used the London Underground logo. Story Here.
The London Underground CANNOT trade in New York, unless someone builds a particularly long extension to the district line. Is ANYONE going to go into a restaunt in New York and think they can get off at Oxford Circus?
I agree that the US money is primativly easy to fake, but there are loads of steps which could be taken without microchips. Without being an expert in printing, I'd say that Australian plastic bills are probably the hardest to fake, as the transparent windows will defeat most methods of copying.
But it didn't discuss English law either. They jumped over 200 years of history, without any acknowledgement that the concepts fundemental to the US copyright system were derived from English law. Where was the discussion of the 1662 printer licensing Act? The 1709 Statute of Anne?
Of course, Usenet used to be an overlap with the Internet, to some limited extent it still is.
For a long long time, most of Usenet went over UUCP, and therefore modems, not the Internet. There were therefore loads of people who had access to Usenet, but not to the Internet.
With the ease of cheap access to the internet, almost everyone who has Usenet access also has Internet access.
John Ousterhout was at Sun for a while, after leaving Berkeley, however he left Sun, formed Scriptics, which was supposed to promote TCL, then apparently he is now working for interwoven. His homepage is at http://www.scriptics.com/people/john.ousterhout/.
Don't forget that a lot of NASA's work is to do with aeronautics, not space. Things like new materials for construction of aircraft, quieter & more powerful engines, accident prevention & other useful stuff. Even if you eliminated all of NASA's space commitments, some of that 14 billion would remain.
Rogers is a HUGE media company, with fingers in cable, cellular, pagers, TV & radio stations, magazines, video rental, baseball team etc etc etc. Their profit in 2000 was almost one billion dollars.
Unless the copyright owner places it in public domain. This is particularly true to those works made in the US before 1976, as works had to be registered to obtain copyrighted status at that time.

C has never been the dominant development platform. COBOL is.

The first release of X windows was on June 19 1984. Reference here.

Canadian bills of higher dominations have holograms on them.

http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/prcontac ts.html gives Cara Broglia cbroglia@adobe.com, (408) 536-6000, as the PR Manager for Adobe Illustrator. (Note, they don't say just Illustrator).
It's decay generates heat, which is used to generate electricity.
You can make the case mixing in the mnemonic device too. For example, if you were to think the Too Many was loud, it could be mshTMp2d.

YYeah sorryy, bounced on the 0 keyy one time to manyy.
Here is a page which docuements TCL moving into, and out of, Sun's sphere.

Low spec PC for single user, Blade 1000 workstation, $1000.
Medium spec PC, eg small website, Ultra 5 or 10, under $10,000.
Higher spec PC, eg Database, Enterprise 220, under $30,000.
Yes, the high end stuff is very expensive, but then there are no PC generic equivilants for the E10K.
If you're from Kansas, couldn't you be Dorothy Gale?

Google already has this. If you do a search on 'slishdot' it asks you if you meant slashdot.
I think you mean "I grammer don't care about".
