I mean as futile as that subject sounds. How could anyone in their right mind patent a human gene or any gene of any other species. I mean if you didn't want to spend the money for a cure of some kinda of disease then you should have not spent it.
And as far as this protecting the financial interests of said company wanting to reap benefits for the discovery of the gene. They really didn't discover it either. It was always right there. I don't know if you can patent medicine or not, but if so that's the way to go for them. If this sort of patenting took place I believe Ol Billy Gates would start his on pharmecutical company and start making us pay a licensing fee to use our genes. Man think of the possibility. Pay him $10 for use of the gene bill2000. Hell in the US alone that's 2+ billion dollars.
Well if anyone knows a little about how a computer works it's easy to find those processes and shut them down. I don't see that sending a private email to someone in your family is something that should get you in trouble via the company access. Porn sites and the like is not something you should be doing at work. Nor is chatting. Chatting for some is quite addicting and they tend to spend lots of time online doing nothing but typing little notes to people instead of typing said report that was due that day.
The best way in Win 9x to see what's running would be msconfig in the run box. If some are really brave they can take a look at the Registry and find the Run under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run and any of the other ones in that general area that have Run in them.
Now as far as it being illegal for the company to do this. That depends on how you look at it. The network and machines are the company's property therefore they can dictate what can and can't be done on said network or computer. That's why I just bring in my own laptop and plug into the network they don't mind that since it's my own stuff I can break it all I want. As long as work is getting accomplished though I don't feel a company should monitor it's employees that heavily.
This kinda reminds me of a telemarketing job I had for AT&T. They could always tap into your line and hear both sides of the conversation that you were trying to sell. You always knew that you had to not lie to customers on the phone and be nice and agreeable. But if you knew that Call Quality was on the line you would be sure to do stuff extra correctly. So if you know that boss is watching you probably wouldn't do anything you're not supposed to.
Another great show. I have all the shows archived and in an mp3 playlist by themselves. The total air time so far is 1:46:44. I have listened to them all back to back. You can hear them getting better and better. Organization doesn't really matter if you have a decent show. Heck Howard Stern seems like the most unorganized show I've heard. SlashWorld Public Access Television would be cool. I hate the stupid computer geek show that comes on PBS on Sundays. It plain sux, and well the guys that do it have no clue. It would be cool to see you guys messing with the things we talk about on here. I don't know how long a download would be for something like this but I think it would be cool. Keep up the good work. It can only get better from here. Rock ON!
I'd like to see this sort of a fundemental change to the way we are taught in higher education. I find it personally easier to learn by doing than by reading and or listening. A combination of all 3 is pretty good too. Until every person has access to high speed access I doubt all 3 could be available in a Virtual U. This would probably hurt some of the smaller colleges if a college like Harvard was made available through a very good distance education. I would like to personally have a Virtual Degree from Harvard. I don't like their football team anyway so that would be a plus.
Teller was in it all wasn't he. It might have been a better world without him for awhile like someone has said near the end of the article, but someone would have come up with what he did sooner or later. Even with having a stroke this 91-year old man seems like he knows his stuff and what's going on. Rock On Teller!!!
Not mentioned by the NOAA official release. Why would they need to mention it. Since it's HPTi that is going to be doing the work. It wouldn't be their place to say what how the HTPi would do what they are going to be contracted to do. Linux is mentioned 5 times at least ont he HTPi press release.
Who ever said that.org was "reserved" for not for profit organizations. Sure that name implies that, but I haven't seen it written anywhere stating that is what it's for. ThinkGeek.org I wouldn't think is a not for profit organization. Oh who knows. Andover.net is the profit entity in this story anyway. They just so happen to own/.
So is this another way of escalating the cat and mouse game. You dont need a smelly cat anymore. You can just turn on the kitty and say find me a mouse and remove it from the house. Gotta love technology.
The court says that he's still guilty of assisting copyright crimes, but since that wasn't what he was accused of he will be let off.
Sure he may be guilty of assisting in the crime. But how can they appeal the judgement of the case if the court says that wasn't the crime he was being accused of. There appeal will IMO be a waste of money. If they want to sue someone tell them to sue themselves for utter stupidity
I'm wondering if this could also help people that have suffered some sort of brain damage due to accidents or something like that. This could be a real break through in areas such as that and well also a great step for the sufferers of Alzheimer's disease. So someday we may be able to say I'm 90 but I've got the brain of a 20 year old!
I think the author has some very valid points. A lot of people want to try Linux because they can and it won't usually cost them much to experiment with it. These versions, even if they don't switch to something like Linux Lite, need to come with some sort of documention that is up front about how to tweak for security or what not to do as root. Can there be a Linux that the end user doesn't even know what root is? I'll be making the move to Linux as soon as my compliant video card gets here. I'll be looking for some tweaks for security. Hope I can find some.
I guess maybe Amiga may have had it. They even gave us pictures of the new machine to gawk at and salivate over. Maybe they should just give it up and start making games for the Nintendo or something. I would have bought one just cuz I need a change of pace, something new to play with. This is really just too bad
The other day they had Star Wars on the Superstation I believe. I had forgotten what that thing looked like and when I saw the picture of this NASA type assistant looks quite similar although orange instead of white and blue and silvery.
I don't really know if I want something traveling through my veins. They might hit a big chunk of something and send it right through to my brain causing some sort of an aneurysm. This also reminds me of a Xfiles episode where Krychek had some sort of device that could control some little nano devices in the blood of Skinner that was basically building a heart attack. If you can make some many of these things at one time. What is really to stop someone from developing a way to do something like build a heartattack, or mind control? I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I think this could be a problem someday.
I was always wondering why they called this thing a dress rehearsal for the Y2K problem. In my eyes it really has nothing to do with it. It just so happens to be a few months before it. I didn't think anything would really happen? Does anyone know what actually happened to the Tandy that had a problem?
I saw a special on Knowledge Tv about this product I think. The scary thing for advertisers via television is that you can skip commercials all together. One neat thing is that one can have their own instant replay of a sports game. Albeit not from all the angles that they others guys have them. I'll buy one when they get cheap. I don't watch all that much TV anyhow. Just Letterman and Conan.
IMO, this is a step in the right direction by providing the ability to chat on IRC, send Instant Messages and such built right into the browser. I think that a browser should be used to browse many types of content whether it be a web page, and ftp site, and IRC chatroom. I believe these are some screenshots from the client for Mozilla. Go MOZILLA!!!
We may have only token nominal privacy, but it's better than having no privacy and that seems the way we are headed. I mean with law enforcement being able to see through walls and stuff. One of these days we will be like Fifth Element having to put our hands in the circles on the wall as they look though our door with some hi fi scanner thing and hold up our National Identification Card.
Down here where I live in Texas there are someplaces that make you put your thumb print on a check to cash it. And you have to give up a thumb print digitally to the Drivers License place to even get one. I saw a guy in front of me refuse and they refused to give him a license. National ID card is kinda what this sounds like just twisted differently
I can see that they may be doing this sort of thing to get people to buy the new model, but they are going to piss a few people off I would think that bought a G3 just before the G4 was released
I believe that I'll stick to the ol' camcorder for all my "communication". It might not be interactive but I don't need to have them talk back to remember them while watching the tape.
I'd like to see what my brother's house looks like from space. I'd just make sure that I emailed him and tell him to wave up at the sky at about noon his time. Very creative way to make some money I would say. I just wonder how much it actually costs to put a satellite into space and whether or not they could make a good return on such an investment. As far as the fishing thing goes, looking into the water to find the best fishing spot I feel will not be it's highest market area.

Here's that link you requested!!

My favorite episode. I liked the robot daughters of that farmer the best though.
