Simple. The commands have to come from somewhere. You can monitor all inbound and outbound connections. That will tell you what machines that machine is communicating with. You just keep checking each of those to see whether the trail continues or ends.
Some Bot's were known to listen to IRC chat channels to receive commands. You then need to find out the ISP controlling the server. Then you have to find out the originator IP address of the person who sent out the commands. I wouldn't be suprised if they encrypted the commands as well.
The UK's Daily Mail ran a campaign on how to stop junk snail mail.
The Post Office responded by informing residents that if they took up this scheme, they risked losing delivery of official government letters such as bills, council tax and passports.
The same thing happened in a cable TV set-top box game - a cash prize was offered for anyone who could solve a 'nethack' type maze using the least numbers of weapons and moves in the shortest time. Pressing 'cancel' rather than 'yes' or 'no' for the submit score, bumped your score up by at least 200 points. Needless to say, the top two players always had scores this high - trying different moves would only cost +/- 1 point, so there was no other explanation.
These are more hardware patents than software patents, since these are implemented on the GPU of the graphics board. But the problem is that in many cases, a specific patent may apply simply in the way the source and destination memory buffers of a rendering operation are set up (texture mapping, render-to-texture). These may be as simple as setting up a pointer and some format/dimension information within the driver. Allowing programmers to write their own setup code would then have to apply for patent licenses directly.
If it is water, then perhaps there is something present that has increased the surface tension of the water. According to this article
Certain inorganic salts (called strong electrolytes) that readily dissolve and completely dissociate into their separate ions in water can raise the surface tension by modest amounts. For example a 10.5 mass percent solution of sodium chloride in water will have a surface tension that is raised by about 3.3 mN/m from the pure water level (at room temperature). That is, the surface tension goes from about 73 to about 76 mN/m. Some organic solutes can have a similar effect (sucrose, for example). There is also some evidence that some kinds of highly charged particles, when well dispersed, can raise the effective surface tension.
Navigation is supposed to be done by the hippocampus.
A study at University College London by Maguire et (2000) showed that part of the hippocampus is larger in taxi drivers than in the general public, and that more experienced drivers have bigger hippocampi.[4] Whether having a bigger hippocampus helps an individual to become a cab driver or finding shortcuts for a living makes an individual's hippocampus grow is yet to be elucidated. However, in that study Maguire et al. examined the correlation between size of the grey matter and length of time that had been spent as a taxi driver, and found that the longer an individual had spent as a taxi driver, the larger the volume of the right hippocampus.[4]
What you say is confusing and has the smell of a well crafted lie. Can you set me straight so I can understand why Nvidia is unable to do like Intel and fully co-operate with the free software community?
Every extensions comes with an IP Status field. For example ARB_color_buffer_float has the following:
IP Status
SGI owns US Patent #6,650,327, issued November 18, 2003. SGI
believes this patent contains necessary IP for graphics systems
implementing floating point (FP) rasterization and FP framebuffer
capabilities.
SGI will not grant the ARB royalty-free use of this IP for use in
OpenGL, but will discuss licensing on RAND terms, on an individual
basis with companies wishing to use this IP in the context of
conformant OpenGL implementations. SGI does not plan to make any
special exemption for open source implementations.

Natural disasters are fine, but have any NYC blackouts in recent decades been caused by nature, or have they all been SNAFU?
Not NYC, but there was a major power failure in the Bay Area when construction workers accidently earthed the entire grid. They threw a grounding switch before disconnecting power lines from the grid for regular maintenance work. The entire region went down. We figured it wasn't just our office when workers from the other office blocks started pouring out of their offces onto the streets.
The following web site has a list of power failures and their causes. The weirdest one is:
June 21 San Francisco Tangled hen causes power mess The fowl was tied to about a dozen helium balloons and set adrift and floated into power lines
Some terrorist groups were believed to do that - use a series of coded frequency tones to detonate a bomb by remote control. The counter-measure was to have army vehicles generate random combinations of similar tones, with the hopeful intent of detonating the bomb before any vehicle went near it (even better if the terrorist still happened to be beside it at the time).
If her school was anything like the schools in the Uk, she could very well have opted out of science courses altogether and concentrated on wordy subjects like English literature, foreign languages, History, Art and Music. That would have gievn her enough grades to get into law school.
There was a female student in our advanced Physics class who thought that gravity was caused by the Earth spinning (Some of the womanfolk in my family still believed this as well - they were taught that in primary school). One of my primary school teachers once rushed a student off to the school nurse after they accidently jabbed themselves with a pencil - she thought they might get "lead poisoning".
they all dump cooking scraps and oils and shit down the drains which clogs and breaks them (and he then has to pay to fix it). Is this racist? Well, it's certainly an over-generalization.
Maybe it would be more cost-effective to install one of the waste disposal units in the kitchen sink. Or maybe put a laminated sign above the sink?
My undergraduate course used Turbo Pascal during the late 80's.
Turbo Pascal had the best/simplest design environment, but things like the Tiny/Compact/Small/Large/Huge programming models, and the 64K segment limit made group projects tricky.
The other main disadvantage was that having procedures within procedures also made for monolithic programming, requiring that code has to be completely rewritten in order for basic concepts to be used with a new programming language such as C or C++ (lists, trees, hash tables, pointers, etc...)
At the time, C with vi/vim on the UNIX systems was the only other alternative, with postgraduate students being given the privilege of using the Sun 3 workstations.
Given the choice between Microsoft.NET and UNIX command line tools, I still prefer the command line tools (at least vim now supports keyword color coding).
Relatives have converted their attic into a study/spare bedroom - they have a laptop with a ink jet printer in the corner. During the day, it was barely noticable,but at night, there was an eerie glow in that corner due to the combination of LED lights (blinking red, green plus blue). Totally freaked out when a spider walked past the LED facing the wall.

Hmmm, I don't think I've ever worked with code that didn't need to be completely rewritten to be used with a new language... ;)

Going from C to C++ is trivial
Going from Pascal from C could simply be done by doing a search and replace eg. begin => {, end => }, and so on...
But having nested scoping required some cut and pasting to be performed....
