Man go back to bed and get a little sleep. Star Wars, created by George Lucas first came out in 1978. Battlestar Galactica didn't appear until the like the 1990's and then it was more like a rip off of Star Trek.
What are you talking about? KDE is not a CDE at all. It was never intended to be CDE and it is not. It was intended from the very beginning to compete with windows.
I just don't understand patenting a gene. It is not as if a company invented a gene. They might discove its structure, its function, but they most certainly have not invented it.
I think it would be like attempting to patent some other naturally occuring chemical, like say water for instance. Or maybe attempting to patent gravity.
I do not believe it should be allowed. Naturally occuring biological molocules should not be patentable. What could be patentable would be a procedure to utilize the molocule for a commercial use.
I believe the problem now. Is when a computer related crime is acrossed borders.
Two examples:
The guy who wrote the "ILOVEYOU" virus is in the Phillipeans. Last I heard there was no crime to charge him with under Phillipean law.
The highly publicized Microsoft cracking. Will Microsoft be able to pursue an investigation in Russia? If they find the criminal, will there be any legal recouse they could take in Russia?
I am not sure, but the treaty is an attempt to answer these questions in general.
I read the treaty draft. It clearly tried to extend in create all sorts of powers when it comes to computer crimes investigation and litigation. I will not that it did and does state that the local laws will take effect with concern for evidence collecting, search and ceasure sorts of things.
To claim that the treaty did not attempt to make illegal many sorts of activities that are not now is just plain crap. I hope they clearly define what is criminal in the rewrite.
I am tired of all the media hype and down right misinformation. Florida can not announce it's results until after Friday, November 17. Why because that is the deadline for absentee ballots. Quite simply all the votes are not in. The other point is that under Florida law, they have to do a recount if an election is within.05%. Up to now the system is working just the way it was designed to work.
If the media would relax and allow the completion of the election, I for one would be greatful.
I suspect that some of the court challenges in Florida will be heard. This, however, will not happen until after Friday. Further, since each state controls it's own election processes. It is fitting that a Florida court rule on any suspitious activity. Florida will follow it's rules and select electors. A president will be elected by the electorial college in December and everything will have worked as it is designed.
There is no constitutional crisis. There is no civil crisis. Things will be completed and work as they are design to.
Now, before any ignorant journalist spouts off about the constitutional matter or other BS. Please make a modicum of effort to understand the issues involved.
Yeah, right and the embassy wouldn't notice that they were being bombarded with RF or EM? Not very likely. You must think they are stupid or something.
The tags do not have their own power source. They need to be present in a relatively strong RF field. It is likely that the transmit a very weak signal, probably only detectable for a few yards at best.
I dare you to try and produce a strong RF signal at the any comercial US airport. You will find that the airport will not be very happy with you.
There is slavery and it happens to people right here. They do not need to be flown in. But these RFID tags will not change the slavery business. The dealers in flesh are greedy and sick, but usually not stupid.
You people need to read the article and take a class in simple electronics. The ID tags are not self powered. They must be in the presents of a RF signal, much like the inductive tags used today. Like those tags Walmart puts on the more expensive stuff, so it will set the alarm off as you go out the door. Those upright retangular things on each side of the door are basically produce and EM field that the inductive tag uses to power itself and identify the fact that it is there (at the checkout they run the tag acrossed a very powerful electro-magnet the essentially burns the tag).
These things work nearly the same way, except they are capacitive. That means that instead of an EM field they use an RF field. But it will not be as if they will be active all the time. In fact, they will only be active in a relatively strong RF field. This will work just like the conductive tags do now. At a warehouse or at the checkout counter there will be a RF source that provides the power at some limited radius (like near a door) so that it will be possible to keep inventory. It will not be as if they will query every tag in the warehouse at one time.
I think your reaction is a little strang. People regularly spray poisons to kill locus. They are killed by the millions. People step on them, swat them,..... kill them in a myriad of ways. and what you want to complain about is a couple of guys having fun and doing research. Well, more power to you, but I think there are many more important things to worry about.
I get tired of the kind of stupid commentary. It clearly says in the article that the embryo was chosen to NOT have the same disease and match the girls blood type.
NTFS is not a journaling file system. Where do you get your information? Probably just wish it up. NT mounts a dirty file system and boots, while in the background it runs the file system fix up code. Truely a bad idea.
"If you don't want even your anonymous viewing information (information that does not identify you or your household) used in any way, simply tell us by calling our toll-free telephone number (1-877-FOR-TiVo). "
So, call them and tell them you don't want your information used.
I would like to point out that the satelite only has a small portion of the earth in its field of view at any one time. So, it would be exceedingly unlikely that you would have a mulitple pictures of the a crime scene.
Most of these kind of satelites are in polar orbits such that they are able to cover the entire earth, but of course that takes a little time.
The section of code is in reference to merchandise not copyright. So, you may give say, a CD away that you recieve, but you may not copy the software on the CD and distribute it independantly of the "merchandise", in this case a CD.
You are confused. You do not have a right to pirate anything. Your statement is a kin to saying you have a right to rape, murder, or steal. You do not. You could chose to do these things and they would be illegal. Piracy is illegal, thus you do not have a right to pirate.
This is done all the time. They are often called tokens. If you use them in a machine that is intended to recieve actual currency, then you are the one breaking the law. Handing out tokens is not illegal.
I quote from the story, "We got ratching motions, We got rolling motions....". It looks like the program did in fact produce some kind of rolling (i.e. wheel like) robot.

Did not come into existance until 1974. If you are going to spout off at least know your stuff. The "Internet" and related techologies did not come until the 1980's and that technology was created by a working group at Berkley with funding from DARPA.
The article is flame bait. The author is attempting to incite a "war" between the two communities. To suggest there is any value in this article is completely without merit.
Your tone is really annoying. Who do you think you are? He can express his opinion.
Besides do you really believe that our representative in government have nothing to do with the enforcement of law? If so, you need to read a little. Local government (i.e. county or city) has a lot to do with local law enforcement. Counties the Sheriff is often an elected official. In most cities the Mayor hires the chief of police.
What about prosecutors? Govners? President?..... All of these have something directly to do with law enforcement.
Congress men have a less direct impact. They approve federal judges and create the laws that are to be inforced.
To suggest that elected officials do not have much to do with law enforcement, show a serious lack of understanding.

Of course, that is just a management scheem and has nothing to do with patents.

You are mistaken. JFS is fully journaled, both data and meta-data are journaled. Reiserfs only journals meta-data.
JFS is a good choice for business systems where the data is extremely critical, like financial data.
