It is because of foolish articles like this that I rarely, if ever, read/. with any frequency. I have been a very active professional webdesigner for the last 10 years and yet as much commitment I have to webdesign, this article means jack. Is there any news here? No. Give me some "rules" that you seem to think are set, and I'll shift your paradigm quicker than a you can blink and find your reaffirming wall-hangings that supplement your lackluster existence. There is a damn good reason for articles to be reviewed before they are posted on the/.home page, to block idiotic crap like this.
One thing that caught my eye was the idea of needing to have a concept about self.
The earliest memory I can place as the earliest chronologically is when my family was leaving Sea World and located near at the exit. I was ~2 years old at the time. I can see myself in a small blue knit baby hat, in my father's arms with a cloudy sky, misting gently. Oddly however, is that I see myself as in third person. There are no pictures of this ever happening and I have since asked my mother about this occasionally and seems to believe that my memory is correct. So this really makes me wonder what my concept of self was at the time or currently as this memory is associated not necessarily as that of my own.
Anyways, back to the real subject/question. I think the brain's nerve synapses aren't complex enough to store memories that can be recalled a few (2years to 1xx years later) until around 2 years old. I think this because I have a photographic memory and a rather large memory span (remembering whole lectures from kindergarten and up until now) so that's why I base my theory on nerve synapses.
The answer ...

The reason that round "isn't working properly" is the law for rounding when the last digit is a 5, is to round to the nearest even number. That is one of the 4 main rules for significant digits. Here are some examples of this rule.
85 = 8 x 10^1 80.35 = 8.04 x 10^1 80.25 = 8.02 x 10^1 125 = 1.2 x 10^2 135 = 1.4 x 10^2
Test these examples, you'll find they're all correct. As for favorite bugs of mine, I just love the bugs that I DON'T have. =)
Very true, however, if he created it without intention of granting/giving the university sole rights, it still is his. I do not have access to the actual patent, so I will take claim for my ignorance. Like I said however, it does seem as though it should be an action taken by the professor, unless of course this was part of an E.C. assignment or some university funded research, in that case...
The article credits the 1989 patent to a prof. at Cornell Univ., a Professor Emeritus H.C. Torng. According to the article, he substantially increased efficient and speed of the processor. I question why this is only used in HPs or why HP is the sole defendent? However, this dispute seems as though the professor should be the party suing HP, not the university and the Research Foundation therein?
As the university is suing on an infringement dating back to 1995, one has to wonder what has caused the delay in action on Cornell's part, and what the statute of limitations is for this type of case? Well, hopefully all will be righted without harming the students at the well-renown university.
Copy prot., shutting down mp3 distributions, watermarking...it all adds up to eminem! None of this crap would be happening if eminem & dre would've let their lame ass songs get pirated, same for metallica (guess they got scared of the 5 people that like them, 2 weren't paying).
All jokes aside, if it can be played by a normal stereo, all it would take is about $15 worth of Radio Shack happiness to record onto your HD.
I have not been researching or reading much about the schemes they are trying to coordinate, but I know that there are a lot of different "known" schemes so far. Exactly how much money do you suppose they are sinking into this battle for just these "known" protections? I would bet it is quite pricey, and to justly support their anti-pirating/anti-reverse engineering crusades (yes..) they'll happily stick the fool still buying cds...until of course s/he realizes, "paying $35/cd sucks" and just quits buying cds then goes back to tape recording the radio. HAHA! Never ending spiral RIAA has going, they need to learn to accept diminishing returns and be happy there still is a great number of stupid people happy to pay these increased costs. As for me, I love shoutcast =)

Go swimming! I used to be on a swimming and diving team, and it was rather humorous, since nearly 1/2 the team was a bunch of "geeks" =). As surprising as it may seem, us "geeks" took 1st place at quite a few state events and a couple went on to nationals. Nothing beats swimming, especially when you are given the opportunity to float along with beautiful mermaids =]

I worked this holiday >:( I found myself being employed at the beginning of this month with a call at 2:30am on a friday night/saturday morning, by a company doing MSN support to start that monday. Today, Christmas day, I worked from 8am-8pm giving tech support for msn broadband, a horrid, horrid, job. They pretty much kept me from going home for the holidays since I'm a dormed college student. Evil M$ strikes again, depriving yet another of a good time.
