That's exactly what I was thinking when i saw that headline..
I've got a bunch of ideas I wouldn't mind patenting, but haven't a clue how to do it, nor the money to waste on lawyers..
With this new system, companies would be able to set themselves up doing nothing other than watching smaller companies, then patenting their ideas, only to use those patents to sue the actual creator. That being their entire business model.
I think this is dumb for another reason. Internet voting is heavily flawed.
What's to stop someone from controlling/buying other people's votes? In a normal election you vote alone and secretly. Online it's very easy to have someone guiding/controlling your mouse.
What happens when you're raised in a house that always votes for X but you want to vote for Y?
I didn't ever say that software is "useless" and "not copyrighted", but it isn't classified as "content" any more than a jar is "content", instead the stuff you use it for (eg. jam) is "content".. software is merely the means to serve content.
why do you think people refer to some times of software as "Content Management Systems", the content is virtually never the software it'self, instead it's something else that is classifiable and sortable.
Yes, you COULD be counting a software *library*, but that's because your library of software is the content, not the application you're using to host it.
Anyway, have fun assuming i'm saying something other than i am.
You could buy a Texas instruments DLP projector (the types you'll find in new digital movie theaters) for that price, not to mention the size of the screen would be capable of being much larger than 103"..
It's because republicans have their fingers in their ears and don't want to hear anything negative about King George.. all they care about is winning 2008.
I bought an HDTV cause i use it as a 3rd monitor and DVDs look better on HDTV than regular.. (plus LCD tvs are much thinner, something that matters in an apartment)

Why not just save yourself the trouble?

"I might actually pay attention"
If you're not paying attention to it, you're effectively 'ignoring' it.
Do you cover your eyes when things are going bad?
Or do you man up and realize that in order for things to get better, we need to recognize the problems and work to fix them.
Ignoring them only serve make things worse. Bad news sucks, but it needs to be heard.

you win, that's better ;)
Common, this was an easy one!
"Blackberry Blackout"
Keep in mind we're comparing this to a $100,000 tv..

take a look at these: http://www.christiedigital.com/AMEN/Markets/Event
"GMail, Google Search, Google Mail, Google Groups, Youtube, Blogger, Google Reader, Google Talk, Google Docs & Spreadsheets"
Every single one of these are simply aggregations of other people's work.
DLP projectors can have lightbulbs that go up to 8000 watts.. you definitely don't need to turn the lights out for that.
Replying to you is pretty much pointless.

What a waste.

As a full time programmer, yes, I can say that.
Programs are rarely considered "content".
last i checked photographs of land is considered copyrightable, and therefore.. content.
Google maps is pretty much their only content site. Everything else is just an aggregation of other people's content.
No.
Google is becoming the web's advertiser. Google offers close to no actual content.
well, on the upside.. at least breaking the security doesn't involve a sharpie..
What's that you say? Time to mail bomb that domain? sounds good to me.
It's because republicans have their fingers in their ears and don't want to hear anything negative about King George.. all they care about is winning 2008.
I don't suppose it's possible to impeach them both at the same time and disallow them to appoint karl rove as president.. is it?
President Pelosi? That's got a nice ring to it.
Oh, I think it's pretty obvious that it's not something you'd install on your own computer, but instead for the guy in the next cubicle..
I wouldn't.
If i'm paying for content, I see no reason why I should have to pay with bandwidth as well.
