This would happen only if Samsung went into the liquor business. It would solve a lot of issues: -Methanol is poisonous. You can drink Ethanol though -To recharge, head towards any existing bar/tavern.
The USPTO is underfunded because the government TAKES money from the patent application fees. If this is remotely sucessful, the government will just take more money out of the USPTO.
In the show, in the Alphaverse ( a parallel universe with more advanced technology than use) everybody has a chip in their wrist. They use is as a debit card. The corporations/governments use it as population control. If you don't have a chip, you don't exist and anybody can kill you.
BTW: Yes, it's a good show but the pace is slower than lets say BSG.
I see your point but the parent's point is that if Toyota was like MS, Toyota would issue a recall on your truck to put in a warning system in case you put in that said liftkit.
Imagine something like you turn the ingnition key for the 1st time after you install your liftkit and through the radio you here: "We have detected a non-Toyota accessory. Please honk twice to engage in a binding legal agreement saying that you understand that Toyota did not magnufacture or install the liftkit, and holding Toyota harmless in the event that the liftkit does not function correctly, damages your truck, or directly causes terrorist attacks on the United States."
You know this is BS because Skyscrappers stop a hell of alot more wind than any windmill farms that *COULD* ever be built. I guess we should also stop using sailboats and airplanes. They affect the winds, too.;)
Slashdot Mirror
Yea, if you're a child molester!
That way I can take a plane to see that guy I met on MySpace in the middle east.
So much for that Chaperone.
Will M$ stop posting the win98 patches?
Will Windows update stop talking to Win98?
In my neck of the woods, when you call someone "a barry" it's like calling him gay.
So a product called "iBerry" would be like calling it "iGay"
In case you wanna know, it's "Brenda" for a gay woman.

We can't let these terrorists take our freedoms away.
That because it's (it is) a job for authoritarian governments.
Instead, how about telling them to make a donation to the EFF? (EFF.ORG)

Do I get my own submarine?
And can it avoid "Supreme Court" torpedos?
This is right in line with expectations.

In the land of the NOT free, All hail the shrub!
In other news, the Catholic church has also trained dogs for inspecting bags, not for DVDs but for condoms.
A church official said that they want to make sure that sinners do not attend church.

Yes they are but they are not going towards Communism (left in the political spectrum)
they are going far right towards Fascism.

Maybe he doesn't bother because he know what I've been preaching:
Windows developers are always willing to trade end-user security for fewer support calls.
Meanwhile, as an admin, I have to try to make these crapola, "we still live in a Windows 95 world" applications work with limited user accounts.
Heck, I've heard IE not working right if your not admin. (I would know directly myself, I use FF under Limited User)
Limited users have read-only rights in Program files.
Developers will have to do what Firefox has done:
write user settings to the User's profile.(application data)
These lazy people should watch "Charlie Jade" first.

What about:
Tie => tye?
lie => lye?
funny => Funni?
Think about it. lots of exceptions out there and this "wii" name was created by marketdroids that like to mispell alot. so you never know.

I thought it was pronouced "Why".
Problem is that "Pay channels" still have ads.
Even satelite radio has f*c*n ads. (and you pay a monthly fee for it too!)
The Teakwood and balsam chairs didn't help the passengers of the Titanic though.
I post this a some time ago, but people here don't like my syntax.
That's why I don't post anymore.
Q: Why did they let me speciy a province/country/postal code if they only accept U.S. people ?
A: Simple, It's to track naive terrorists that live outside the US. Now they now where you live! Prepare to be liberated!

"Talented singers are a dime a dozen" and right you are.
A *true* artist creates the song, the music and sings it.
American Idol-type singers are glorified mouth pieces with puppet strings.
