wow - did you actually say "The majority of people (read: non-Slashdot readers) would not consider this an illegal act." You need to get out more. I guarantee if you ask 100 people on the street if you are allowed to use a camcorder in a theater - 100 would say no. Probably due to the "no recording equipment" signs posted around theaters..
Wow. The first informed person on this thread. I wish I had mod points - this is exactly what will need to happen to fix the system. I'm assuming you work in or near our healthcare system. The other big area that is rarely discussed - as soon as people are forced to pay for their own medical care - the incentive to stay well is strong (eating right, excercizing), which will eventually drives costs down across the board... Fat Americans are largely (pun intended) the cause for the rise in healthcare costs.
Dude. "Before" modifies "manufactured and distributed" not "implementation". You're reading it wrong. It's not ambiguous (at least in the way you said it was).
Very good comment. Actually, the USPTO does a pretty good job at prior art searching - within the US patent database. The PTO generally relies on the Applicant to cite relevent prior art outside the US patent database, e.g., journal articles and EU/Japanese patents. What happened in this case was NTP did not do a great job searching EU art. Most companies do very extensive non-patent related prior-art (journals, advertisements) and "outside the US" prior art searches to ensure they don't loose their IP later in court..
I woke up this morning to read that the Globe (which I subscribe to) was plastering my CC number all over the place.. Called their "hotline" which was busy all morning (.5million subscribers, one number, you do the math). Finally got through after lunch and was on hold for 1/2 hour to find out that my name was on the leaked list.
So I had to cancel my card and get a new one.
It's too bad the Herald is such a rag or I'd drop my subscription today. Maybe I will anyway and just get my news off the web like everyone else.. but I so love to curl up with my coffee and paper on sunday mornings...
No, that's not how you determine the value of something
So then how exactly do you determine the value of something? Who sets the price under your system? Who determines value? The manufacturer? The consumer? The government?
Seems like our system works pretty well (manufacturers and consumers set prices).
a. cnet not only displays Ross's title, but also the same link you've referenced. what more disclosure do you need?
b. why would cnet accept money from the PFF to print the article? at the very least there was no money exchanged, or possibly cnet paid him a fee for writing it.
Actually, animiated cab signs are in Boston. I've seen a few with what look like 3 LCD panels on top with flash-type animation running on them.
However the majority are not working (just blank screens).

Gimp Hits 2.0

· Score: 1
No one was printing "gallery quality" photos back in '94.
Now that we have the technology for gallery quality prints (using an Epson 2200 for example), anything less than 48 bit starts to show artifacts after a few rounds of image touch-up.
This would be huge for the digital photography crowd and something that would actually make Gimp superior to Photoshop. This is probably being handled through Cinepaint though.

you apparently don't work.. The desktop environment has little to no bearing in the corporate world. Companies need integrated PLM, ERP and every other 3 letter acronym that linux can't do well right now.
Of course, why you'd want to build with steel when you could build even stronger with diamondoid or sapphire structures. ..
(OTish) Strength is not the only reason you'd choose steel(or metal) as a material, you also have to look at ductility, hardness, stiffness, etc.. so there are many reasons why you'd choose an iron or titanium based material verses a carbon/saphire based material.
I agree with you to some extent, but any part of the space program that loses it's "excitement" risks losing it's funding (congress gets bored easily).
So they either make the space shuttle program new and exciting or scrap it all together for something that IS new and exciting.
Granted, I work for a large company, but the first thing we HAVE to do before we start any project is complete a landscape patent search to make sure the product does not yet exist.
It's not hard to do, takes a few days, and prevents a lot of wasted effort if a similar idea is already out there.
Many of our projects are either altered or killed after a landscape search.

holy cow that was fast! Thanks so much, sir.
would really appreciate one as well. Thanks in advance.

just be sure to find a nice looking girl to spend my money on.. i'd hate for my credit to be ruined on some 2 bit ho

your conspiracy theory makes no sense..
What? Boston's not part of the US anymore??
While it seems that this Reisman guy may have been working on this technology since 1990, the patent wasn't filed until 2000.
So I think MS and Apple would just have to show they started using this tech before 1999 - i.e. it was public IP before the patent was filed.
Lesson: Patent early, patent often.

Great answer. With sources, none the less.. (slashdot first?)
Yes. Same problem. I fixed by running MenuDrake and saving, but I also lost my shortcuts on the quicklaunch panel. Had to put those back manually.
Bug must've got away..
Until someone comes along and builds a network with the security of Freenet and useability of Kazaa..
Sure, distributing copyrighted material is illegal, but filesharing on it's own isn't (and may even be murky).

Maybe they should think of some better uses for the shuttle than literally shuttling stuff back and forth from the ISS.
It's time for something new and exciting.
