Thought the days of keyboard integrated computers were long gone, primarily because of how exposed the keyboard is.... But apparently some companies prefer to not learn these lessons. Who is the target market?
Now featuring our new, and secure, observatory dongle! For unlimited an unobtrusive access to your games, simply connect the dongle to your USB port and put it outside your window. (Clouds and volcanic ash may interfere with your experience, for which we are not responsible.)
Hm, I wasn't clear, or maybe we just misunderstood each other twice, I meant, why isn't it included in the cost of the physical dvd-player? And, if it is, then why is it a patent violation to ship a free dvd-playing software if the user has already paid (through the license fee for the physical player) to use it? Please enlighten me... Oh, and if I've completely misunderstood the issue, please clarify it...
Though in fact it's not that simple... win xp doesn't come with a built in dvd-player. Often it comes bundled with one already on the computer; but nothing built-in. Windows Vista Home Basic doesn't either as far as I've been able to discern. Microsoft has a site pointing you to lots of "pay for something that should be free options", including upgrading to a more expensive version of vista. Mac OS X ships with a DVD-player, and has for a long time. Petty that something so basic should be still considered an option; maybe it should be included in the license fee for the DVD-player?
The central point of the algorithm is to define bounds on when a routing change should be propagated. The point being that only an increase in routing efficiency above a certain threshold should be propagated. This disallows small fluctuations to have an impact on the wider network. He also shows that the impact of the propagation changes will be limited with respect to total network speed.
Electrical cars have the advantage of being very quiet, the major noise source is the tyre against the road.
Also, we have lots of computers that don't crash; just not personal computers. Consider for a moment the world of telephone switches, alarm systems, power-systems. Many of these systems have been up and running since the 70's. Many others have not, but the fact that some have is proof enough that it is possible to write programs that do run and can run for many years at a time.
But often I wonder how many companies connect everybody in the company to the internet when there is no real need? One place I worked maintained three separate networks; one for internet, one for work, one for very confidential work. The work network had access to e-mail (internet-based e-mail through a firewall through which only the mail-server could talk) while the confidential network had only internal e-mail. This may have been overkill, but breaches were more or less impossible. Running NT4 also made sure USB sticks weren't an issue, though I believe they managed to upgrade to XP a few years ago, but testing was extensive.
In Kosovo we ran a cisco router with POTS (plain old telephone system) and an ISDN-PRI ports. This worked very well, latency of course is a problem, ping times were approximately 600ms, and echo canceling wasn't working all that well. But considering the alternative (insecure and extremeley expensive) landlines this was quite nice. For only 10-20 soldiers you will want perhaps 100k/s. The cisco router can compress the phone call down to approximately 15-16 kbps. Of course, if you want high quality or faxing you will use a full 64kbps. Good luck!
...cancel each other out?
Silly waste of time and money I say. Why don't patent clerks check these thing thoroughly? Some of these patents are so obviously not new ideas. Why not have review magazines, somewhere all pending patents are published for review? Would save a lot of time and money later.
From old nordic (vikings etc), wind eye. An eye to the wind. Old word, very old. Would be nice to see microsoft fail here, trademarking the name of a generaly accepted concept shouldn't be allowed.
The army, air force and navy all run NT in Sweden. Having been a communications technician as a conscript I was trained in NT and worked with it while stationed in Kosovo. There are plans to move to something else, indeed, we did user XP on welfare computers. This was possible because of the number of bundled licenses th army had aquired over time. Not a wish to invest in XP infrastructure. Running NT was a lot of work, especialy on "field" hardware which fromm the start required specialised drivers. We did however use UNIX a little, SCO UNIX. =)
Well, I wouldn't start that sort of discussion here, but the US has pretty much the same policy as Europe when it comes to trade. Please learn a bit more and keep posts on topic. This is irrelevant to this discussion and unncesarily provocative.

Kick-backs. The Intel-Inside program was a strategy whereby dealers got rebates for putting on the stickers. See http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,624233,00.html . Apple pays more for the CPU's if it doesn't have to pu the stickers on.

Red or green?
