remeber - you have 1 year to file patent - so would need to find an example of prior art from 1 year before the patent was filed. Of course I have that example right here for you - dated 1994 courtesy of IBM (Notice how the setup would seem to be similar to that described in the patent)
they had no stepahnie swift ascii - i had to make my own
I didnt really make it - asciigen did - but it looks almost as good as the ascii babes site when used with 5 point terminal font and large output resolution
you miss the point that bose cubes are overrated speakers even for what they are. Something like Klipsch Quintets sounds remarkably better. Not only that - they cost less that the cubes cause bose has to pay for all their marketing materials for them
not really - I actually thought about supercharging my engine so I asked the dealer about it and my warrenty - and the dealer showed me in the paperwork where it says it is not resposible for any damage caused that can be directly related to something I had installed as a performance upgrade.
Here in Texas, you can walk down the street with a loaded automatic rifle and so long as you legally own the gun, nobody can do anything about it
Last I knew - the Federal Goverment ruled only people with Federal Firearms Licenses or a Collector Permit could own an automatic rifle - and I'm sure authorities would be sure to ask you for it if you walked down a busy street in downtown Dallas carrying it
you could've just said AR-15 - I'm sure colt doesnt like people saying they have 'civilian versions' of the M16 when the AR-15 is considered a nice target rifle in its own right. As for AK's - I've never seen a semi auto one, just rip off SKS's that look similar. If you do want to own a full auto one though - get a collectors permit - it allows you to own just about any gun (One of my friends has that and owns a Browning M2) - one big downside however, is that while you can own those guns with a collector permit - you really cant legally sell them to anyone but a person with a Federal Firearms License
omg - i actually enjoyed that movie as a kid - then when I was a few years older rewatched it and laughed at how bad it was. It did at least bring up some points like geneticly engineered DNA and other issues we see in the news today
Try backing that up to a remote site via hard disk. At that time, you'd probably wish you bought something like a Sun L6000 (can be clustered to backup 1.5GB/sec - yes, GB, not Gb). The bandwidth costs of doing a remote backup to disk one time would probably pay for the entire tape systems too
both those are known as being unreliable and are bad comparisons. However - I have several 4mm and 8mm tapes that are 12+ years old that I have to restore data from now and then and they work great. The nice thing about them is I can drop them and not have to worry about hurting how long they will last - with a CD-R however - it only has a long shelflife (the 100 years they claim) if you keep it in a caddy its entire life and never physically touch it - since most people dont do that (use cd caddies), they dont last nearly that long. An good example is my old CD-R's - about 1/4 to 1/3 of the CD-R's I have that are 5 years old are worthless (or at least slightly damaged with some files being unreadable) now due to heavy usage/handling
wish it did, but sybase 11.9.2 is the newest version that runs linux (like 5 years old), and we need to run 12.5 for where I work. dont even bring up mysql to replace it arguement - it has no trigger/view/stored proc/powerbuilder support
initial configuring and most things I find the CLI easier. One big exception for me though is Veritas Volume Manager for setting up RAID. I can do it with the command line - but I still like the GUI better (shows history of things you've done, status of mulitple jobs, etc)
its funny though - their profits dropped, but sales from record stores actually increased. go figure - maybe if record companies didn't pay $20 million dollars to artists for albums like The Soundtrack to Glitter
a portable dvd player doesnt cost more than a laptop - thought they do tend to have smaller displays which may account for some of the reason they are cheaper
This reminds me of those portable personal DVD players. They cost about $1000 for a 7" screen and all it does is play DVDs
Either you are a little behind the times or only looking at high end models - my friend bought one of those 4 years ago for $1100 - now you can find them for under $400
While that is true - I was thinking more along the lines of people who are 1st learning to program who fail to optimize code because it still runs ok on their system. They start out not caring about optimized code may or may not be since their system runs it fine
in the article it says Milgram stated the average number of the chain was 6 - thats very different than saying anyone can be reached through 6 degrees. Average would mean several required more degrees of sepeartion
of course in that case, just like online rpg's, there would be people who cheat the system by resinstall and repatching test systems over and over and over (and maybe even coming up with scripts to do all the work for them!)
Anyone under 30 with the word "senior" in their title is almost by definition a poser.
not necessarily true - my old job our senior system engineer was 27 - and I would put his technical knowledage of unix against just about anyone. Age does mean something, but if they started young enough they can still have plenty of experience (in his case, going on 11 years of using/tuning unix)
The thing that's great about the high HP supras, is they can turn, too
I just enjoy raggin on peoples cars:) They tend to get ultra defensive and talk smack and for some reason I just always found that amusing. I still would prefer a nice 300ZX over any supra, way better handing, just the downside of more expensive to make fast

Sun Blades for home systems!

the Germans will speak German! I mean, you are in 'enemy territory' after all, it should only make sense
wasnt X.500 more along the lines of a directory service? I mean, thats why ldap is derived from

thats very true - its called lazy/poor programming technique

Live a chaste and virtuous life
I think that along would cause most people I know to consider passing on it
and based off the old PSInet to boot - I had lots of problems with them in college (very bad latency)
