I haven't been able to use IRC for a long time now. I wish they'd put an executable on that web site that would delete the fizzer-user's hard drive so they learn a lesson about not letting themselves be host to a host of viruses.
That's what the author of that article is. Numerology?? For pity's sake! There is a point where you should stop looking for easter eggs and hidden meaning and enjoy the show.
Perfect movie... Hmmm that's like saying that because buffalo wings & beer happens to be my favorite food, that that's all I'll be eating from now on. I don't think so. Just because buffalo wings happens to be my favorite, doesn't mean I will stop eating pizza, bacon, deep fried potatoes, cheeze whiz, and buttery pancakes and tons of yolky eggs fried in the bacon grease, and omelet sandiches on toast with lots of mayo on the toast and cheeze in the omelets. Oh yeah and salt and vinegar potato chips, and cheeze fried to a crisp in a nonstick frying pan - a cheeze crunch yum, and chinese chicken fingers and deep fried shrimp, chocolate cheezecake from the buffet, and egg-foo-yong w/ lots of gravy.. Oooh yeah, and smoked pork shoulder, and burger king whoppers with cheeze and big macs & fries and meatlovers cheeze crust gold pizza with extra bacon and taco bell mmmmmmmm Oh yeah you almost made me stop thinking about tacos!
What's with this plot IQ test? Plot is stuff like person A goes here and does Y with person B before gang of terrorists C threatens to blow them up, but person be whipped out his duct tape and made himself a tight miniskirt by wrapping it around his legs and ass and put on a wig and makeup and stuck his socks in his shirt to trick really stupid terrorist G into lowering his guard for what he thought was a 'hot chick' so he could grab his gun and bash him on the head with it and save the day only to be ribbed by the other cops in the department for his pretty attire.
I don't think intelligence and plot appeal are really related. I mean you could have a film where not much happens, but the audience learns about and appreciates the characters which might appeal to intelligent people. Also, I think intelligent people watch more 100% porn movies than the general public because they have a harder time getting laid.
Yeah, you're probably right, but it could also be that all the corporate non-thinking drones are lining their pockets from the till, and they'll end up excising themselves.
Certain materials 'conduct' magnetic flux well and can be used instead of electrically conductive materials to conduct energy. Since you can move energy around as magnetic flux, I wonder if there might be circuit components that are analogous to electrical circuit components such as resistors, coils, transistors, and yes capacitors. If not time travel, what WOULD a flux capacitor make possible?

The thing is, if people use brain scans all the time they will find out things about people that were kept secret. Maybe every other prospective employee intends to resume smoking weed regularly once they pass the drug test, maybe %50 will fail the 'have you ever stolen from a place you work?' question when asked because they once stole a pack of gum or a 1 cent tootsie roll from the store they worked at as a teenager. This might actually have the effect of making people accept common, non-serious 'bad' behavior because they will see how every decent person they've ever met is imperfect.
000000 = black
FFFFFF = white
FF0000 = red
00FF00 = green
0000FF = blue
D000D0 = purple .. and many many more
The wierd thing about this condition I have is that it only works when I type hexadecimal numbers into this color selector applet. I guess the reason I never noticed it is because small numbers tend to be black/very dark blue so I assumed they were just black, but a big number like D90301 is bright red!
Making them 100k or something would preclude the little guy from participating. Maybe, they could add a clause that says you can either pay the current fee of 1000, and sign something that entitles the patent office to like 1% of everything you make by licensing your patent, or pay a 100k flat fee and have no royalties paid to the patent office.
There should also be an 'Open Source' way to patent things that is free, or really cheap so that you can patent something just so that nobody else can, but have a guarantee that the patent will never be enforced against anyone. Prior art is kinda like this, but it takes a year. So if you make something and don't patent it, anyone can patent it for a year.
I think it is legal.
Just like the amazon.com cookie patent, they took a feature of HTML and it's standard use and patented it.
I am waiting for the day when people will look at other programming languages and decide to patent the most common uses of keywords. Like patenting the use of the while keyword in C/Perl/Whatever to make the flow of the program loop, or something just as wierd.
I am sure that whoever added frames to the HTML standard, had the use described in the patent in mind when they did so. It might be good to look into finding the original documentation for the frames feature when it came out and see if there is a how-to example that violates this patent.
Yeah but someone might refill their cartridge lots of times, maybe only ever buying one cartridge over the life of their printer. Now they are out of luck.

GM Humans have been bred for a specific purpose and that purpose is their destiny.
If I create a great quarterback then that person should be the property of my football team. A great fighter should be owned by their gladiator school or how else can they be made to fight in the coloseums for our amusement.
If I spend millions of dollars to create a line of outrageously attractive and pliant people then I should be able to use them to model my damn line of attire. I should be allowed to make a profit by whoring them out in my frikken brothels!
If I create a superintelligent being, then I should darn well be able to chain them in a cubicle till they come up with something I can patent to make me some CASH!
If they should become obsolete, a company should be able to sell them on, rather than have to keep paying blasted property taxes on them!

Yeah yeah! In my country there is no TP. I need TP for my BUNGHOLE!.

But it would cost 100kilodollars to file your information with the PTO which is way too rich for most ppls blood.

Why else would you subscribe? I mean the whole point would be to beat everyone else to the Fist Post right?
And charge like 1 billion dollars per ad to license

So, no I think lynx does not violate the patent
