So if a computer is able to determine the algorithm, How can it be argued that this is not something that someone trained in the art would not come up with?
If someone could program a computer to iterate over possible solutions, this SHOULD NOT meet the requirements for Patentability.
When rambus cranks up the fees... 10, 20, 100% on DDR so that it subsidies their own RAMBUS memory and raises the DDR prices to higher that RAMBUS, you WILL care... but by then it'll be too late.
What's to prevent one disgruntled employee at one of the facilities from screwing up the results. I've heard that SETI@home does it by giving the same work unit to two different users and verify the results.
Doing something like this just decrease the "Grid's" speed in half...
So if I spend my money on this new CD, I won't be able to make a copy for the car(don't want the Texas heat to fry my new CD), but if I download a MP3 that someone has already "fixed", I can burn it to a CD and not have a problem...
So I have to spend time to track down an 'illegal' MP3 even though I should have the right to copy the original CD that I purchased(for my own private use). Why should buy the original since I don't get any of my "fair-use" rights with it?
Hopefully the Supreme Court continue to make decisions that are in the best interest of the Public and get us closer to what the original intent of Copyright was to provide...
HTML is only a "Mark-up Lanuage", it changes the format of the text displayed on the page, it quite easy to make sure the formating doesn't do anything besides formating.
JavaScript does alot more, i.e., open new windows, change content based on where the mouse is, etc. The security hole is just that a site can make the resulting search result page contain javascript code that will be run. This requires you to have Javascript enabled on you browser, if not, there is no issue. Without this 'security hole', you would also be 'exposed' to the javascript, if clicked on the link to that site.
Most people will quickly notice additional charges on the credit cards... the more important thing is getting a Credit Report. Having gone though this several years ago... You need to get a credit report from each of the 3 Credit Agencies, look for both new accounts and new Inquiries into your credit report. It takes a while before a new account shows up, but as soon as credit is applied for, an inquiry is added.
Contact each company that has requested a report. Try to determine if an account was created(can be tough for some of the major companies that have alot of different types of credit accounts, to determine with line of business an account was applied for.
Get them to fix any other problems on the credit report and send you a new copy... this should all be free.
They will refuse to remove the inquiries even though they are frauduelent, but if anything is else is wrong (address, employer, etc) that was place on the report from the credit applications the thief use can be removed. Sometimes it will take several cycles to get everything fixed up, but this can work to your benefit. One of the inquiries, claimed no account was open... after getting the third report an account for that company showed up. Now with an account number it was easy to track down and contact the proper people to get it removed.
If accounts where opened and used, you will likely be required to sign Noterized letters saying you did not open or authorize these accounts.
Also be sure to add a statement to all three of the credit agencies reports. It should contain that you have been a victim of identity theft, and if they've acquired the report to grant credit, contact me a home xxx-xxx-xxxx, or work xxx-xxx-xxxx, to verify that I have request it before opening any credit. This will prevent the instant credit at some of the stores, but it is much safer.
So all the global issues with could be solved by putting it under.us (but aren't they giving the.us away???)...
Give parents the flexiblity to control where the kids can get to.. I think something like this would make more sense than the arbitary filter programs... sites like pbskids.org, cartonnetwork.com, etc could also register under the kids.us domain, and let parents just allow visits to those sites...
What is he suppose to do, shutdown the corporation's entire network? Doubtful that he would have the ability or permission to take that type of action.
It may have been after-the-fact... post-processing/knowledge of the Code-Red that caused him to analysis the data in this manner...
Adobe's prosecution of Katalov is going to provide the lawyers with more to work with...
RIAA threatens with lawsuit... someone else is actually arrested with the help of the FBI, for basically the same thing... This well respected Professor could have been arrested for the paper...
This should give a very clear picture to even the more uninformed judge, so that true problems with the DMCA are obvious...
How much bandwidth do you think is available on Radio stations? For FM you have less than 100 KHz of signal to use. This is not enough to get much data through..
Also how are you going to send data back to the Station?? Your small antena is not going to have enough power to get back to their antena (and if it did, would you want to sit next to it?) You would be forced to use dial-up to talk back to it? Kind of a waste...
If caffine was just recently discovered it would likely have laws regulating it... It gives a burst of energy, but it your body is too tired and you have too much caffine, you are putting you self at risk...
A few years back someone totally unrelated to anything Linux registered the Trademark, and tried to get money from it... After Linus got a lawyer, I believe with the help of various people, the trademark got transfered to Linus.
Nothing like taking several boxes for floppies into the lab at college, and spending several hours ftpingthe latest release of SLS (Soft Landing Software). Several hours not due to connection speed nor too many users downloading, it just took a long dealing with 30+ disks)
For the longest time, X configuration was not a problem since X was not supported yet. That was such a happy day when X actually worked with Linux...

So... were they able to "slice a falling silk scarf in midair" with their new blades?
Maybe if it was full size... kinda tough when it's a 1/8 sized model...

The only thing better would be if Microsoft's server that has the patch to download was infected...
And doubtful if they would sell it to you if you told them what you planned to do with it...
Don't you mean Mandrake 9?
They always bump up their release numbers for no apparent reason, other than having the highest number ;-)
So Sony still has not released Linux for the US PS2... So unless you have a Japanese PS2, this won't do you much good yet.
So you can get your modem to work, you will not have any problems with the FCC.
