Remember... when.NET appeared (and had been with about 2 or 3 years of beta), some companies where asking people with 5 years of experience!
On the other hand, some will demand experience with one version of software and skip a perfect resumé for the job just because the owner is only a guru with the previous one...
Go figure... (acronims are very good also).

Well, it only depends on who has done it...
What if that was an internal job mandated from the board?

Of course isn't fixed...
They hacked the site themselfs to get "simpaty"...
No matter what you invent to add in the game to restrict it...
There will always exist power players, specially if they are students with too many hours in front of the computer day after day!
I played eq for more time then i remember, and yes, i liked it until the power gamers pushed the game so much forward that sony made patch after patch just to keep the content balanced for those power pushers. Of course, the casual players like me, where... overrun... in the process...
As it is impossible for the current programmers to delve and understaind the legal mumbo-jambo which compose the current patents beign submitted, it is impossible for them to even know if they are infringing or not.
For those with disabilities like epilepsy and motricial problems... autonomous cars that can drive its users to their working places and back home will be a hit!
But what will you do with the radioactive waste that those generators have when the materials that make the internal walls have to be replaced between 10 to 15 years interval?
It's cheaper to build windmills... and not to mention solar panels and biomass energy... why consider only a "exagerated" one produces all way?
Prolly, if the studies where more acurate, the scientists would find that will 10% of the energy producing windmills would make that adjustment to climate, there are only space and locations for implanting 2% of them in the terrain!!!
So... The conclusions can even be correct... but the praticality of the study can be completly null!
That company was British Telecom (also known as BT)...
And they had some fuzzy little pattent in the US that could in their limited minds be interpreted as to represent what the www is today...
That is the problem with patents... they use broad terms of today and some years later are interpreted with another cultural focus and pushed to mean another thing...
That is why would be important for software patents to be acompained always with one implementation. That way, you could check with the implementation if there was in the scope of the patent or not!!!
In reality, the Alphas and Windows had something similar (called fx86! or something like that). I the end, the stuff was emulated "slowly" will the system would check what was going in with the code... and then would "morph" it to true "alpha" opcodes... plus lots of meta (so a roll-back would be possible).
With some time of usage, the program would perform as in a real environment (actually would perform as if it was pure alpha code - which wasn't that far fetched)...
There is no need for a trademark to assert rights over a "designation".
There is always the copyright of the expression, and by large, the editor is responsable for all the confusion in domains not the current owner of the domain. That can be redressed as money in court!
In the real world, if he had the idea not on company time/resources, then the best route would be to just leave the idea there... quit the job... and after one year... start develop it.
All those contracts have a resonable "time-limit". Which means that after one year or so of ending the contract he would be free of any kind of obligations.
Mind that you can have "ideas" anytime. Ideas aren't exactly boundable by any kind of "legalese". Implementations are...
If one check out, those companies brought that tech with the intend of using it for their business...
After the.com crash and now the recession (is it one?) those companies had to concentrate on their core business to stay afloat or just to make their business run smothly.
Those projects becomed in a kind of limbo... not enought client "interest" to push them further, but too interisting to dump in the trash...
Open Sourcing them is the best solution for it then... if someone is interested can pick it up and drive it forward, and due to the licences... they can pick it from there and "reuse" it...

Not to mention that normally, the blockbuster versions of the films are very diferent from the stores ones!
(normally no extras at all, and no remastering or extra footage)
That is the US, so, if the law says it's illegal, then, be lucky if you not end up grilling in the chair!!!
(and they complain about human rights all over the world)
Experience is the key...

In some countries is forbiden to have a fuel station nearby ANY residential or high usage buildings...
That is cool...

Just photocopy it then fax it... and then try to find the "source"...
Not true...
They controlled the hardware... not it's all AGP/PCI all over and standard of the stock PC/x86 cards just work in MacOS...
x86 hardware is stable enought... it's the Wxxxxxx stuff that kills it's stability...
My guess is that the next challenge would be to make a ship that could transport people to and from the ISS...
As far as i know, the russian non-tripulated ships are the best for material sending (cost effective that it)...
So there is now real need for a maned ship that can transport the crew of the space station...
(of course... after that, the next step would be a private space station).
Well, last time i faced a IE only site... guess what...
It didn't work either in IE6 ROFL...

Is the only near match of those... others are just nicks of actors of something like that...
The beauty of Linux is that anyone can make a distribution...
Don't remove that liberty from the people please!...
Not vapor... just lack of investment...

Alphas... the memory...
If they expell someone on that basis, my guess is that there will be a nice lawsuit as it is usual in US... and the University will loose...
Ultima Online has automatic translation... and... works enought if people talk "plain"...
AFAIK, it's based on the systrans translation engine...
(that was about... 3 or more years ago... now should be even better)
