Relational database indexes usually use a B-tree data structure, though it it sometimes an R-tree or a GiST. Putting a sequence of items into a table and then creating an index on them does not make them a linked list, and it certainly isn't anywhere close to prior art for this particular patent.
It says "a preexisting work or a sequel". If you want to claim that "preexisting" also applies to "sequel" then you'd have to argue that dictionary.com made a grammatical error by including the second "a".
That's not a "fantastic" heckle. Here's a fantastic heckle...
If you recall, the bad dudes in Battlefield Earth wore these huge platform boots to make them look taller and more menacing. Watching the movie with my brother, the part came where Forrest Whitaker was pleading for his life, saying "please, I have a wife, I have a family..." and my brother adds "...I just took out a mortgage on a new pair of shoes..."
After a movie has been out for a number of years, they are no longer considered spoilers. Otherwise, there would be no discussion about any movie at all while a handful of people hold out on seeing the movie(s).
No, people discuss the movie with spoiler warnings. I'm not sure where you got your rules, but they're not the rules the rest of us go by.
People can never get back the hundreds (thousands?) of hours of data-entry effort they invested, and will now need to reinvest in another service. There's more to this than the information itself.
In my neighborhood, a bunch of parents got together recently and donated a bunch of money to upgrade a schoolyard playground beyond what the local government would have put there by default. Now let's pretend the school is a private company. If we follow your line of reasoning, it would then be just fine for the school to sell the new playground to the highest bidder?
My answer is: of course not. Yes, the school would have the legal right to sell the playground. But just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.
Yes. Contrast with Flash, about which I know almost nothing, but I'll express an opinion anyway... Most flash games I play with my 4-year-old-son seem to run smoothly on our underpowered PC, and they handle multithreading well. I know how hard it is to write a good GUI, and I have a hard time believing that all Flash programmers are extraordinarily talented, so Occam's Razor leads me to conclude that it's a good UI platform.

Mathematical constructs that describe the real world are useful, no matter what bias or misnomer (eg. "imaginary") is applied to them.

I'd rather rely on the dictionary definition you supplied.
A table with an index is not a linked list.
Who cares how someone gets a +1? What difference does it make?

"a preexisting work or a sequel"
The Hobbit is a prequel because it "takes place before that of a preexisting work or a sequel" (the sequel being LOTR).

Now that is a heckle.I only deleted a parenthetical remark. That is the point.

I agree with all of that. And, Gracenote is still a bunch of jerks.

That's a bit like saying that McDonalds will stop serving crappy food in 2009 because Ronald McDonald will be leaving.
I like the fact that someone modded this Insightful. Very funny.
Well, it does get returned when you close all Firefox windows. Small consolation I suppose.
Good point.That's not a leak. That's a cache.
