Its funny this is "news" - they've had that switch since day one, if I know the military. And the no-fly zone has probably be a registered flightplan with the FAA since a year before day one.
Interesting, yes, but not news since at least 1978 (or whenever it was they were building the fleet).
I knew a guy who worked on the software on the early fleet. Made me wonder about the whole thing.
Was visiting the parents a few weeks ago, and found the original boxes (and most of the little extras) for H2G2, Spellbringer, Wishmaker (?), and one that only payed on the 128 where you build spells from components, even my introduction Zork II.
It was a nice little moment.
I wish I could filter out Yahoo answers from my entire online experience. Just about any question I've ever had for a non technical issue (e.g. Can I feed a hamster strawberries), is answered on Yahoo as :
1. Yep
2. Nope
3. Feed it motor oil
4. lolz, luzer!
Yeah, the internet used to be 90% noise and 10% signal, and has improved drastically over the last decade to 99% noise!
*sigh*
wasn't 6*9, its that it is impossible to know the question and answer in the same universe, and doing so will cause the universe to be replaced by one infinitely more strange, and that this has possibly already happened.
If suitably motivated , a horrible person can play nice for a long time, and then suddenly "cash in". Never underestimate the power suitably motivated people.
I think the only way they'd get past the "burp-car" or "fart-car" stigma would be to start offering them as rental cars - let people drive them around a lot. Then they might have a market. (Unless they just come in at $2500 - then they'll sell a billion of them)
So, you spill a few liters of the stuff - what does it do when it gets in contact with living creatures (like algae? birds? small children?)
And how long does it take to break down and release all those gases? (That would be useful - like a CO2 tank for plants for long space voyages)... I think there are a lot of questions.
My kids can play the Wii, my mother in law can play the Wii, I can play.. guess what is the most played console in the house? Oh, and we can all play and interact together.
Not all people who want to play video games live in their mother's basements. Games manufacturers are finally realizing this. Enough ultra-graphic-environment-Doom-clones, lets do something different - like actually interact with each other.
Just think of "group-play" as a feature that they are working on... like graphics. So the Wii made a huge step in that direction, and didn't need to worry about building state of the art graphics. (yet)
The RIAA sues same gentleman for 100,000,000 USD over same infringement of Guthrie's works, especially by the current owner.
DMCA invoked on compromise of special wire-based recording medium, daughter of famous singer fined and sent to Gitmo, Hail freedom!
Homeland security mistakes old recordings as bombs and bans them from all flights.
Shall I go on?
I did a quick advanced search up until 1995 and found bits and pieces of stuff. I think y ou would have to search for all the available anti-virus at the time and THEN look for modules that handled proxy filtering.
"Olive Juice" Lipreads as "I love you"... I once saw a play put on by a deaf troop (Sunshine II, I think) where this played a big part in an "Aadams family skit". My wife and I still say it.
Good luck.:)
Just thought of this:
Make it stipulation of GPL that if you publically report bugs or bug counts in GPL software, that you must also produce a detailed account of how to reproduce the bug, and you must provide that report to the maintainer of the current source (who you got it from, or the root source as listed in the code). Possibly a two-week window between notification (and acknowledgement) and publication.
In a way, firms are profiting from the GPL software, but I can guess they aren't reporting all these issues. Sure you could fix stuff in private - but to publically announce it, you should have to allow everyone the oppotunity to fix it.
I live in a small town.
I can walk in to the local shop and grab a cup of coffee from the machine.
I walk out.
Periodically, I drop a few bucks at the counter.
I wirelessly wave to the cashier.
See point #2 the "Beer Game" - this is what happens in the game, orders are inflated in the hopes of receiving more stock, to fulfill a smaller demand. so, true, taken at face value I was incorrect in phrasing.
I was going to post the experiences of someone close to me, but decided not to.
Having worked in education for many years (and having kids), I guarantee that the student's side omits mention of defiance or cockiness. This of course doesn't excuse the idiot teacher, but I imagine there is more to it than presented by the submittor. It is astounding how innocent and respectful they believe they were after the fact.
I imagine the kid wanted to use a better browser, the teacher got miffed at the install, and they both proceeded to behave poorly. Most likely the browser was just a catalyst in the childish behavior of both. And I say this strictly as having been the idiot teacher.

1. Grow Bamboo 2. Drop down old salt mine or other large hole. 3. ??? 4. Profit!

All I pictured was the intro to Thundar the Barbarian: Ookla, Arial, we ride! Course they said 1994. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhAobPugvsk Oh, and the register said its all crap: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/16/esa_german_schoolboy_apophis_denial/

I don't see one single leather goddess! I feel so let down.
What do you mean you cleaned the kitchen! That was my doctoral thesis! ARG!

1998 called and wants Its amazing news back Except he even built animated Gifs to illustrate!

how long before the home gym captures energy for your home. (pre-patented by the professor on gilligan's). Also, where the hell do I buy one?

well.. a field of "wheat" gathering energy from the wind might be prettier than a windmill. until them aliens start making their crop circles.
So does reflecto-porn count as prior art? I mean, if you consider "unique image of the photographer embedded in the photograph" as prior art.

Geez, don't you people watch BSG? I can't believe I was the only one to get the reference.
Or were they transmitting another frequency that helped them sleep better?
