  1. if this circumvents the patent... on Microsoft Confirms IE Changes in Wake of Lawsuit · · Score: 0, Troll
    "A preview of the new user experience shows the user being prompted to confirm loading of each ActiveX control."

    Ok, let's suppose, this methode really does circumvent the patent (means that a judge would then rule in favor of M$)! Then what about a radio button labled

    [ ] "always confirm object loading"
    in the preferences ("opt in", of course!)?

  2. Q: Difference betrween DTP and Word Processor? on Scribus 1.0 Released · · Score: 1
    Hi!

    First of all, I have to tell you that I have no experience with DTP.

    So my question is: Can anybody tell me, what sort of things I can do with a program like Scribus, which I cannot do with a word processor like OpenOffice Write?

    I played around with Scribus some weeks ago, but for me it seemed to have just fewer functionality... But of course, without any knowledge about DTP, I do not know what features I have to look for!

    Thanks in advance,
    Pat

  4. Re:The $1000000 question (literally) on New Technique Makes Most Gene Patents Irrelevant · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Maybe (I suppose, they have). But patenting a special technique to make an organism express a gene isn't as problematic as patenting the gene or the protein itself. You might find your own technique to activate the same gene without infringing Sangamo's patent. And if I correctly read the original article, there are already several differing techniques used in the pharma industry.

    Bye, Pat
