What happens to all that infrared energy that isn't being absorbed by the interior of the building anymore? Is it absorbed by the glass/film iteself and then dissapated by conduction or convection with other nearby materials like air, glass and steel or is it reflected back outside to make other buildings and surfaces and stuff even hotter?
Dense portable storage sounds neat, but I think the form-factor needs to be reconsidered -- what if you lost it? All of your hard drives, CDs and DVDs would be gone in a flash! What's the bandwidth of a 2TB flash card slipping between the bars of a sewer drain and floating out to the waste treatment plant? Maybe they should call it a *flush* card? (Sorry -- bad pun.)

Again, IANAL either, but I'd hazard a guess that since SCO is the plaintiff, they cannot win on a matter in which they have not filed a complaint. Therefore, they can have no secret smoking guns.

Seems like all that capacitive coupling would cause heat and e/m interference problems. Why couldn't you use LED lasers and sensors built onto the chips to optically couple adjacent chips through a simple optical connection? Each side of a square package could have a laser transmitter and a receiver so it could communicate with up to four adjacent chips. Dust in the sensors would be a problem. So would misaligned components. But, that would do the same thing, no?

OSRM is the company PJ (you know, of Groklaw) joined a few months back to provide indemnification for Linux users. This organization isn't the enemy, folks.
If this thing works by reading the reflection off your eyeball, then don't you have to be looking at a camera (or at least have one in your field of view) for this to work?
If so, then other than stealing things like passwords and ATM and credit card numbers, what's the point? When else am I likely to be looking at something incriminating (or at least interesting) while sitting still?
Is it me or is MS security information getting harder to read?
The article sez that last week MS released a "DOWNLOAD.JECT payload removal tool" to help deal with the infections. So, I followed the link to MS's web site. There, I eventually reached MS's download page for the removal tool specifies and *doesn't* specify some interesting things:
Only works on Win2K and WinXP. Didn't DL.ject infect 95, 98 and NT as well? SCREWED!
Apparently, this 'tool' only removes the W32/Berbew virus, sez nothing about removing download.ject itself. Maybe? Maybe not? No info at all.
The instructions continually refer to this tool as an installer, but gives no indication how to run the tool after it is 'installed', other than to say that you can delete the installer and the program it installed will not appear in the add/remove programs list. (I don't think it actually "installs" anything, but they are using installer language to avoid confusing users. They failed.)
Their presidential candidate this time around is Michael Badnarik. He's a computer programmer by trade and he gets the whole "The Patriot Act really was a bad idea" argument.
I would only add that this at least nowadays you can pretend to ignore that jerk behind you at the intersection by fiddling with your radio in a non-confrontational way. How the hell do you pretend to ignore Speed Buggy callin' you out without making your car look intimidated and evasive?!
Try as I might, I just can't see how emotional driving could possibly be a good thing.
"So why the obsession in video game media with quantifying gameplay time?"
Because - as anyone who's played a crappy game that was also way too short knows - it's a way the game developer can hedge their bets. If your games isn't going to be good, you should at least delay the onset of futility as long as possible.
Gammage also stated that until Linux is shown to support the NX (No eXecute) security technology supported in Microsoft Corp's forthcoming Windows XP Service Pack 2, it will be seen as potentially deficient to Windows. However, Red Hat released a patch for the Linux kernel to support NX in June that has the full blessing of Linux creator Linus Torvalds.
She discusses the Sims-like gameplay of the multi-platform title in development at Cyberlore, arguing: "I think I have an advantage as a heterosexual woman in that Playboy just wasn't part of my past: I was able to approach it from a brand-new angle... I can flip through those magazines and not have it effect me in the same way that it would clearly affect a heterosexual male." She concludes: "We go through and take a comparatively high road with this game, and show you a little of what it takes to build the Playboy empire, and what has happened historically. That was the challenge."
Duh. I'll tell you what it takes to build the Playboy empire -- a lot of affected heterosexual males flipping through those magazines. That's why this game is going to stink -- you have to know your customer.
Not the same, but close? Jedit is a text editor, but it has extensions that can do the XSLT xforms internally, as well as structure browsers and tag completion. OpenOffice is probably what you want because it has built-in filters to export to DocBook. You can also add your own export filters to xform to whatever schema you want.
Because "XGA" has - over the years - had several different meanings? Besides, not every desktop resolution needs its own acronym. TLA space is saturated enough as it is.
My favorite Opera feature is the page view zoom, especially for printing. Unlike Mozilla's zoom feature, which only scales the text, Opera scales the whole page including the images, so the layout and placement look very much the same, only bigger/smaller as requested. It wouldn't surprise me if Opera's zoom violates a few standards here and there, but I wish every browser did it like that. Very handy, indeed.

Oh, yeah, for sure. My first reaction was same as yours: "Still a contract dispute.... move along.... move along..."

A EULA is not a contract, it is a license. It sez so right in the frickin' acronym for crying out loud: End User LICENSE Agreement. Grrrrr...
Oh, and IANAL, but I read about them once on TV.
Check this out.

Heh, heh. In the alternate Ultima-verse, I bet Darl is still trying to get *Iolo* to pay attention to him. Frickin' IOLO!

Sorry guys, OD2 is Win/IE only. No Mac, no Linux, no Moz.

Even better, subject to the terms and conditions of their individual licenses, they are free to use each of those packages if they wish.
Oh, and how the hell could they be upset about sendmail? It predates DOS 5 for cryin' out loud!
Ha! No! Sendmail (proper) even predates DOS 3.0!
Dorks... makes me think the whole thing is a hoax.
How?
Depending on the cause of the outage (like a line cut) you'd lose power *and* ISP anyway.

Also, doesn't AD + Group Policies require Win2K or better on the desktops? Doesn't do you much good if you are still primarily Win98.
