they should just compete in a fair way without trying to sneak in standard changes, without punishing distributors that stock OS and without crying to the govt.
They should compete the way software companies are meant to compete - by making better software.
They have enough money they should be able to give os a good run.
"Hop-On Chief Executive Officer Peter Michaels was initially evasive when asked why the phones appeared to be modified Nokias. "Hop-On technology is proprietary," he said in a faxed reply. "
I guess repackaging nokia phones is a "proprietary technology". He should defend his "technology" with a patent.
I wonder what the information density is

Stopping Light
·
· Score: 2
could this be used for really high density portable storage?
Would shaking the storage container make atoms discharge and ruin the whole thing?
Light isnt actually stopped it is absorbed by the atoms in the medium.
So those atoms go on a higher energy state, as a result of the light they have absorbed.
When they shine another laser on the medium the atoms emit the energy they had previously absorbed, in the form of the same kind of light that came in.
You are supposed to describe the invention in a patent application in a way that it will allow another person to use it.
But often it does not work out that way, because people give written descriptions, instead code, and some times those written descriptions are insufficient.
But i find it unlikely that whatever secret government agency discovered it will:
- want a patent
- go forth and disclose sensitive info in court to get that patent.
Attack the small firms first so they cannot afford to invalidate the patent.
Meanwhile when the small firms start paying royalties your patent will become more established.
By the way the 25 000 in royalties is nothing compared to what the case may cost. So that company will probably pay the fee if hey cannot get an early win in court.

Are you getting dc or ac power from the wall?
Whose electric motors provide basicly all electricity created by man?
Whose electric motors are used for almost every electromechanical device?
There is no field where edison and tesla competed, in which edison made a better invention. In most istances Tesla completely overshadowed edison.
Tesla lost in financial and public relations matters, he often lost government contracts, but as far as inventing goes - he blew edison away.
His patent predates Marconi's.
He didnt make the commercial system before marconi because tesla was trying to use the investor's money to secretly develop another invention.
its on the kazaa network it has no crapware.
At least it has less crapware.
this is great i get modded down for doing someone elses proofreading.
Dont do anyone any favors.
basicly this is how it works:
-you visit a site
-your browser automaticaly changes
you dont have to do anything or download anything.
Sux doesnt it.
This product is targeted towards marketing people.
It is also named by marketing people.
That should explain a lot.
by the way the least they could do is follow basic rules of english language and put a u after the q.
Guess they are too cutting edge for that.
there is an extra "normal" in the story heading. Pretty cool news btw.
i can get to the same article from cnet.com
it is real me thinks
they should just compete in a fair way without trying to sneak in standard changes, without punishing distributors that stock OS and without crying to the govt.
They should compete the way software companies are meant to compete - by making better software.
They have enough money they should be able to give os a good run.
i would like to coin a term for this practice. Compulsory P2P. Sounds catchy, doesnt it?
would cnet news put in a joke story?
doubt it. they are supposed to be a serious site after all. And printing fake business news can get you in trouble.
nope its real.
Didnt the article say that there was spray on fireproofing on the steel columns?

"This is simply because consumers can't get what they want -- high quality digital content like movies, music, and video games."
I think the consumers that want to get movies and music get them easily.
It is quite telling that Rep Schiff does not say the true purpose of the bill, but chooses instead to conceal it in a broadband promotion language.

I know it is convenient to refer to a person as they but it is wrong. Even the PC freaks say so.
Nowadays many people use "she". It is linguisticaly correct and it is considered politicaly correct.
Now dont think it is a good idea to trun away customers at the cost of stopping ripping. Yet it seems like a logical thing to do.
But that scheme will turn off customers without stopping ripping. I have no idea what the hell they are trying to do. Piss off mac users?
Good job and good luck.

secret use is not prior art.
But if the above mentioned agency put their computer on sale, or used it publicly then it would be prior art.

You seriously do not understand O'Reilly.
To put it very nicely O'Reilly has and will always protect and benefit Murdoch and News Corp.
News Corp. is supporting the bill.
Which means that O'Reilly is supporting the bill.
If you disagree with me, dont flame me, prove me wrong. Call, email O'Reilly. See what happens.
Where does that article explain why SSSCA is bad.
It explains why democrats are bad and why record companies are bad, it does not explain why the SSCA is bad at all.
And i seriously doubt it was the only news outlet to do that. Slashdot is a news outlet no?
