Two math consultants are sitting in the studio cafeteria, and one says to the other: "I'll bet you $50 that waitress is an unemployed mathematician."
His friend the bet. Then while his friend is in the washroom, he calls the waitress over and says "There's a $20 tip for you if, after my friend comes back, you come over and answer my next question "four thirds pi r cubed."
So his friend comes back from the washroom, and the waitress comes over and he says to her, "What's the integral of pi r squared?"
"Four thirds pi r cubed," she says, "plus a constant."

The education "market" can be leveraged to get the business market. Put your product in enough high schools and colleges, and get an entire cohort to come to business knowing your product inside-out, and then the world changes.
This is what IBM did with the 360 line of mainframes way back in the 60's. Gave a bunch to colleges. The grads came out of college ready to rock on the IBM hardware.
The Space Needle will be a platform for a more conventional antenna, not an antenna itself.
Those who live in Seattle know that the Space Needle is shorter than most of the downtown buildings, but it looks tall because zoning keeps high-rise buildings away from it. And there are plenty of higher points where additional antennas could be placed, some of them not even on high-rise buildings (eg. hills).
Slashdot Mirror
> What features will it have that will encourage me to jump ship again?
IE7 will have world domination.
Not yours in the future timeframe, but Microsoft's in the present timeframe.
My PalmIIIx is still going strong. And I can still buy a replacement at Fry's if it falls in the toilet (like my first one did).
> What is keeping *them* from just downloading a copy?
They own the copyright. There is no infringement in them taking a copy of something they own.
Now the Internet is almost as rigged as American elections.
Like I don't do that every few months anyway.
Just remember that for every sexy X-ray, the scanner also sees a revolting one.
The world is bell-shaped.
Two days after the location of the thought-to-be-extinct flower was announced, all specimens were trampled to death by vacationing city dwellers.

> if one is at the same time selling m$ stuff.
Why is this not illegal under anti-trust law?
Gee, I can't imagine why.
Three thousand quatloos that the blue screen of death will take on new meaning in the year 2005.
> I'm a) not single and b) not in the US.
Right. Foreign, married men _never_ use prostitutes.
No, not that DIVX, the old Rent-a-DVD-that-phones-home DIVX.
That was less intrusive, and it flopped because people didn't buy it.
I'll bet this new technology doesn't get even as far as DIVX did.
You can't sue the U.S. Government. The best you can do is get an injunction.
I RTFA'ed. He's in Oz.

The Fundamental Unit of Computer Logic, the algorithm, was named after Al Gore, inventor of the internet.
Bisexual, eh?

Quoth the article:
"According to SCO, it is the legal successor to AT&T..."
That is a fact in dispute. It seems the rest of the article is founded on this premise.
If SCO does not "own" Unix, then the arguments in the article fall flat.
I'll be fascinated to see how Slashdot articles get ranked.
If people could use sentences instead of words, dictionary attacks would become obsolete.
Like with PGP.
Just require a minimum number of blanks and a minimum number of characters to assure that a sentence-like construction is being used.
I thought the 'Minority Report' interface was three psychics in flotation chambers.
Pseudo-VR gloves are SO 21st century.
Judge Kimball may well ask SCO to eat their motion during oral arguments.
The American accent of the computer voice will change.
'Bout time.
