Fair enough, that makes sense, didn't realise that there was a dedicated channel for that. I thought that it just took the "low part" of the front two channels.
he is basically asking for advice on how to create submarine patents for the open source community
I think that's a little unfair.
Another interpretation could be that he's protecting an idea that could be used in open source and subsequently patented. Then if the patent holder were to complain there would be evidence or prior art, I don't think he's talking about submarineing here.
It's been long known that beer is the drink of the underclasses. Wine, of course, being the preferred drink of the upper classes.
Not completely true.
Beer is the drink of Northern Europe, wine is the drink of Southern Europe. The UK and Europe as a whole tend to aspire to Southern Europe; the Mediterranean diet and reverence for the classical world. This has created the image of wine = good and rich, beer = bad and poor.
The RIAA and MPAA are not welcome to a single cent of the tax we pay on blank media. It's a Canadian tax. It goes to the CRIA ( you know, the Canadian Recording Industry Association) (and presumably other Canadian organizations).
Which presumably goes to support the likes of Bryan Adams and Celine Dion?
I'd rather it went to the RIAA, MPAA, Microsoft, Al-Qaeda or hell... pretty much anyone!
I'm not surprised that US companies aren't falling over themselves to bid.
Take a look at what happened in the UK when the 3G air was up for sale - they threw money at it and ended up with next to no customers.
With the way things are economically at the moment, people are not looking to up their monthly spend on their mobile phone bill. Companies will have a hard time recouping a huge outlay.

yeah, but if you joined a facebook group for people who only use facebook for scrabble, then you would no longer use facebook for scrabble and you'd have to join a facebook group for people who only use facebook for scrabble and being members of facebook groups for people...
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already under my threshold, but a lot of the concern over this game seems to be because of its release on the Wii and the fact that because of the control system the player is more "personally invovled" in the killing.

Alzheimer's is a specific disease.
Dementia is just a general term for (usually) old-age brain rot.
This week coffee's good for you, next week it's bad for you.
This week a glass of wine a day prevents altzheimers, last week that was classed as binge drinking and caused high blood pressure.
This week sausages cause cancer, no doubt next week they'll help prevent MS.
It's all a load of old cock. And no doubt a load of old cock either causes or prevents heart disease (depending which week you take your old cock).

I though that 5.1 surround only had 5 channels (Front L & R + Rear L & R + centre), so how does this produce three stereo channels?
Yeah, but TFA's about a 2000 year "young" planet.
All things are relative.
There was no need for that. Apologise.
So that would be turtle first, then elephants, then the flat bit.
Makes sense.
(apologies for reading TFA, I'm new here)

Hey, I'm in London and it not foggy *at all*
Go butterflies!

Yes and No.

Maybe we can prove they come straight from Digg; did they have the same typo - 'The Lord of teh Rings'?

Could they not just ban buses?
I hear New York are considering this option...
.. and the French supported America in the War of Independence. Hence the Statue of Liberty...
Broke a chair?
Has he never heard of demarkation?
Why is this put to a public vote?
If the medical establishment say that something has a clinical benefit, what business is it of the public?
Should we have a referendum for every new drug?

Is this not how it supposed to work? You publish and it is reviewed by peers who spot any mistakes or bias?

Perhaps they should bring in a similar policy for Oscars acceptance speeches.
Agreed.
I'm 37 and haven't decided on a career yet... just waiting to see if these computer things catch on.

Yeah, but be careful, the Disney version's about to come out...
