100 Years of Einstein

Whether they were mistakes or not, Einstein became sort of the sounding board for developments in theoretical physics. So whether he "agreed" with the ideas posed by quantum physics or not, he certainly helped drive research along with his constant challenges of other scientist's work.
Plus, it's interesting to note that alot of his "mistakes", like the cosmological constant, are gaining support once again with developments derived out of superstring theory like extra dimensions and dark matter/energy.
I agree, in fact I would almost recommend Fabric of the Cosmos before Elegant Universe. It seems to cover a wide range of subjects more loosely, while Elegant Universe dives deeper into the nuances of superstring theory.
I also appreciated the first chapter of Fabric of the Cosmos, where Greene talks about the drive behind his life's work. It really spoke to me in a personal way.
AOL keeps accounts around long after you leave the service, in the hopes you will one day come back and reactivate. I had an email address there I deleted years ago, only to reactivate it and find I had mail waiting (mostly spam!).
People in search of pornography and sex are much more willing to actively search it out and be early adopters of new technologies that may further their habits. Heck, I was on USENET getting pr0n when I was still in high school!
E-commerce and shopping is more of a "mainstream" use of the Internet and it makes sense now that the Internet has become so pervasive. Even average users are learning how to go onto Amazon and order stuff. If my mother-in-law can do it, anyone can.
I would hope in a few hundred years we have the technical expertise to do an "orbital cleanup" job and get rid of all the crap floatind around the Earth.
â The two companies will explore ways to establish "interoperability" between AOL's instant messenger network and a similar network that is part of Microsoft's MSN service. That could allow an AOL member to more easily send an instant message to a MSN member.
I don't think that's true. They problably had to sign a nondisclosure and copyrighting agreement just like everyone else that writes code for the company.
Not that those things hold much water, but it could be argued that the company is "aware" of such things.
Good points. AOL has played nice with the GPL before.

They made modifications to the Mobile Linux (later Midori) operating systems published by Transmeta. They were used in the Gateway COnnected Touchpad device.
The code was written in house, and thus was the copyrighted property of AOL Time Warner. It was released without the consent of the company by some developers at Nullsoft. If that is true, isn't it still the property of AOLTW?

He wanted them attached to sharks.

That's nothing. Why, back in the day, I was getting my pr0n over a 9600-baud modem from The Farmer's Daughter BBS!
You truly are a l33t p3rv!

But can it be attached to a sharks head?
TomTom GO"
They have a standalone device called the what?
Then get them shark space suits!
Do I have to think of everything?
oh shi >:(

Maybe zap them with laser beams!
Japan totally gets all it's cool from the United States, and our beloved Governor of California!
Here's proof!
It's REALLY good. Talks about the development of the atom bomb, the science of experimentation on the Jews, etc. I highly recommend!
Oops here's a link.
If you are into history I recommend this book:

Interesting perspective into the role of science in the Nazi regime with moral/philosophical undertones.

My guess is this will be SIP based.
I HATE HATE HATE downloading a torrent having it stop at 99% with no seeds remaining.

The master gene was discovered decades ago :)
You're dumb.

So the company does care about the GPL.
Good question. The problem there would then be use of the copyrighted Nullsoft name and the use of AOL Time Warner servers to publish the app.
The code was written in house, and thus was the copyrighted property of AOL Time Warner. It was released without the consent of the company by some developers at Nullsoft. If that is true, isn't it still the property of AOLTW?
Are there any precedents for this type of thing?
