MS sued borland over drop down menus, and won, but Apple sued MS over the desktop metaphor, and MS dragged it out long enough to settle?
seems to me Mr. Amelio was a dumbass and could have taken it all the way. I mean if you can win over drop down menus, one should be able to win over the Desktop metaphor.
it is funny how stupid the enviro movement is about nuclear. on washington journal 3 days ago, a guy from the WWF (the wild life foundation) responded to a caller about why not use more nuclear energy to reduce co2. he said "oh gee, why not ask the folks at 3-mile island or churnoble why we should not be using nuclear energy."
the guy is thinking with a 1970's brain about nuclear power and has not educated himself beyond popular myth.
when you consider the fact that lil' Bow-Wow gets 6 grand a month to buy iTunes on his G5 from his dad, Snoop-dog, and think about that fact that most music artists have Macs at home because that is what they work with in the studio, and many of them are super rich and have kids, it would not surprise me that many of the songs come from Macs.

D&D Is 30
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
they did not want to start playing it:-(
in boy scouts on a camping trip when I was 12 I got hooked on D&D, and I have never been able to play on a sustained period of time... now I am too old, and the people my age that play are so socially backwards that I think I would just laugh at them. oh well.
that is because PEOPLE would find it nasty to wash their clothes in what they consider dirty.
ever wash clothes in a tub? I have and you use that water until your done, REUSING the enzymes.

Ethanol From Waste Straw
·
· Score: 5, Informative
all cars built after 1995 are flexible fuel cars. and since then, cars have been certified to run on E85 which is 85% ethanol 15% gas.
add to that the ethanol fuel cell, and screw hydrogen. if we can produce enough ethanol from ag waste and yard clippings, we can just use ethanol as it is easier to make, easier to transport, and is closed with regards to the carbon cycle (i.e. no negative impact on the environment from the CO2 used since the plants used have to use the same amount to grow.)
hey, now we will have enzyme plants opening up to take our yard waste. it will be nice to know that I am not just giving my yard crap to a dirt pile in the landfill.

proof that god must be finite if he/she is part of the universe.
that man has a metal pot stuck to his head!!!

oh that will be a good one to scrap book!!
a PDA powered computer that had a 4x6 screen and a simple touch interface which is only used to pick a text and go forward or backward one page.
these would be cheaper and are smaller.
then, rather than giving the kids an entire textbook, you could beam them the reading for the day for that lesson along with any practice problems.

"Details like great design were not critical to most customers, so that didn't really make it into the products"
hmm, some folks would say that is a liability.
MS Office X, and Stuffit Deluxe.
but that is all since I have everything else I need, and I only did it once since that is all I have needed to do .

in declassified documents, those remote viewing experiments got positive results.
you think that alternative energy research is not already above 5 billion? heh, dude, 5 billion is chump change.
I guess you missed the news that Debian based distros out number RPM based distros now by a large margin.

it is called firmware update
Why don't these companies and Projects just use PNG and be done with it.
it is your damn laws. tell your government to get rid of the regulations that keep TIVO out.
record only first runs.
as it is now, they record all showings.
umm, it is amazingly smaller, try looking at them in the store.,
and why would you want 15 gigs if you only want to carry a few hundred songs with you?
define what is causing it.
is it nature or is it humans.
we do not know, all we have is correlational data which is far from proof of anything at all.
no problem with syncing there.
except that we have city ordinances against compost heaps because old fogies think they smell.
but I think that turing them to energy is a better use than composting it.
that is because PEOPLE would find it nasty to wash their clothes in what they consider dirty.
