Wouldn't that mean that just by having that gene sequence you are violating their patent? I can see how they can patent the method to test for this gene pattern, but not the gene pattern itself.
IANAL, but I think you'd be fucked if you took your coffee break after receiving the subpoena, knowing that your logs were going to be automatically deleted before you got back. I'm not sure if they'd call it due dilligence, or just what a person in their 'right' mind would do, but I think you'd get nailed. That's the problem with the law, sometimes it comes down to subjectivities that are inelegant to say the least.
As far as the Bush administration is concerned, I'm impressed by this. I mean, it's opt-in rather than opt-out, should actually work, and only slightly gouges website owners. Besides, being an 'official' kids site will probably bring them extra business anyways.
I remember that earlier models had problems drawing fast-paced things such as movies and games correctly. I haven't been keeping track, have they fixed those issues?
I wrote flatscreen monitors off when I was on the market a year ago for a monitor as their price was so high - hopefully this has come down since then.
That would be a problem at the moment (until higher bandwidth connections become more widespread.) I was thinking that they could contract out the role of 'video store' to your local ISP, so they store a copy of the video there, so you get a really fast connection to it.
I'm not claiming to know how to impliment what I want, but I definitly don't want another piece of plastic DVD/SACD whatever to fling around.
I was recently looking at getting a DVD player, but decided against it. It just seems to make so little sense; I don't use CD's anymore, I use a hard-drive MP3 player (Nomad 3), I use a hard-drive recorder for TV (TiVo), why should I use DVD's?
It just seems like another attempt to jack up prices by introducing a new medium. I know that it provides superior quality, blah blah blah, but really: is it worth $30 a pop? I'd rather download the movie (I'm not saying I'd pirate it, although I do sometimes) legitimatly, amd I'd pay $5, or maybe even $10 if they would just let me do it.
If this isn't an example of prior art, then I don't know what is. Once again, the consumer is getting screwed while the lawyers cash in....
One more reason to go to law school.

"Squishy" DRM?

You do realize that, even if people really did stop giving money to these people, the industries would simply say 'look what piracy has done to sales, we need more DRM.'
I can see the headline - "Metallica sales fall 60% due to music piracy."

I wonder if I should buy some rambus stock, it's at like 7 now.
Give it a rest man.
Yes, they still have new ones. On Monday they have a psychologist from MIT.

You know, I'm on their site right now with my popup blocker, and it's working just fine. I wonder if their site *has* popups...
I heard that Stephenson is writing it with a fountain pen, in an effort to keep from making it as long as Cryptonomicon. Hope he fails :)
Mod parent up, that was hilarious!

They may be forced not to sell any Itanium or Itanium 2's...
At the end of the article it says that a Radeon 9700 IS AVAILABLE, but that it simply wasn't installed in the machine that they tested.
They said that it could be equipped with a Radeon 9700 - the model they had just wasn't.
Simply because you do not appreciate the aesthetic value of something does not mean that it does not have any.
Don't get me wrong, I dislike both cell phones in inappropriate areas and SUV's, but simply because I do not like them does not make them bad.
Grow up.
That's a really good question...

Wait, wait, at what point do we start eating the children to stop overpopulation?
