Tungsten C, eh? The Pro version of the browser works fine, as does browsing with the AvantGo browser. I almost think PalmSource crippled the browser deliberately (it crashes the whole OS on trying to open certain URLs) to force people to buy the Pro browser. Just one more reason that when my Tungsten C finally gives up the ghost, I'm going to swallow my pride and buy an iPaq - unless the Zaurus becomes more available, and eReader comes out with a Zaurus client.
My PDA has twice the internal memory the PSP does, and 802.11b, albeit a smaller screen with slightly less resolution - but it's Palm OS, so no minimo.
I'm not sure just what he's talking about here, but it's not basic ASP.NET. Maybe he's talking about running.NET applets that can be targeted inside an ASP web form, but it's certainly not the most common way of using Active Server Pages.NET .
Excuse me, but ASP is a SERVER side technology. It simply doesn't care what client you have. We've got a bunch of ASP.NET pages, and they all work fine with Safari (that's what I use for them). Perhaps you were thinking of ActiveX?
I believe the episode IV stuff actually started during the extended release of Star Wars - I first saw Star Wars a few months after release, and I remember being deeply confused about the Episode IV thing - wondering where episodes I, II, and III went. Certainly it was in the press before ESB, because I have it in print in things published in the 70s, and ESB came out in 1980.
Enterprise was partly genre fatigue, partly timeslot follies (the old Star Trek was killed by Friday nights - what made them think it wouldn't kill Enterprise?), but mostly by the fact that it wasn't very good until the last season when Manny Coto took over day-to-day. If Enterprise had started out with scripts like *United*, and stayed on Wednesday nights, the show would be getting DS9-quality ratings (i.e., not bad).
Not entirely true. The BBC does get some funding from licensing its programming to stations in the US (and elsewhere, I assume), especially PBS stations: a fact that PBS stations constantly remind us of when they have pledge drives.
"Public" broadcasting in the US is funded by a combination of public grants, private grants, private sponsorships, and - the majority, I believe - private "pledges," relatively small donations from viewers/listeners. Pledge drive take place semi-annually or quarterly and try to drive viewers/listeners to send as much money as possible to shut the development people and their requests for money up. Altogether a nice system, I think.
[The grants tend to be purpose-driven rather than mere largess (the private sponsorships tend to be "largess," although stations permit their sponsors to provide "sponsorship messages" - tasteful, short analogs to commercial television's "advertisements" that usually just identify the sponsor rather than actually shopping their wares).]
So, in a sense, BBC is getting some of its funding from this source as well, however little of it.
In addition, BBC of course sells DVDs of their programming both in the UK and overseas.
Regardless, the basic point of parent's argument is unaffected: the BBC are not members of the MPAA, and staunching the hemorrages of "piracy" is not as vital to their operating model as it is to the big US studios.
The design, though, is patentable, and it is quite different from the Magic Star player (even if the functionality and generic form factor are very similar).
Am I the only one who has a hard time understanding how California law has jurisdiction over a publication that is published in Massachusetts? What if ThinkSecret was published in France - would the CA UTSA still have force?
There is no "Macintosh" operating system. There is "Mac OS". "Macintosh" is the name of the hardware product line, as "iPod" is the name of another hardware product line from Apple, and as "Lisa" used to be the name of a product line. While Apple does tend to vertically integrate its software and hardware products, a PowerMac is still a Macintosh even if it's running Linux, or BSD.
If you buy a new POWERMAC (not just a PowerPC-based computer, as there are PPC computers from vendors other than Apple) and install NT4, yes, you're still using a Mac. If you replace it with a non-Apple motherboard and an x86, AMD-64, or IA64 CPU (Apple motherboards won't support non-PPC processors), no, now you're using a WinTel box with an Apple case. You see, the Macintosh is a hardware product; Windows is a software product.

Wrongo. It says he's running Linux (of course) on a Mac. He jokingly says it's not a Mac anymore, but that's just a joke. What model is it? An Apple PowerMac G5 Dual - I imagine the 2.5 GHz model. I just hope this means we see better support for Macs - I've had a hell of a time getting any Linux distribution on my iBook.
It was a very subtle jab - from Jolene Blalock, aimed right at the writers. If she's a trekker herself (as the article claims), she KNOWS that T'Pol is badly written. That explains why she's very good in the well-written scenes, and death warmed over in the mediocre and badly written scenes. No doubt she made some comment in the interview that didn't show up in the article beyond the word "ostensibly."
The fundamental problem you're having is you're thinking of this as a matter of entertainment quality. But BSG is a tragedy, and SG1 is only good because of Richard Dean Anderson (nothing against the other actors, who are fine, but it's the attitude that sells the show, and that's pure RDA). Enterprise is inspiring because of the very specific vision of the future it is selling: a bright, happy future of exploration, not constantly fighting aliens who infect people like parasites or running away from robots run amuck.
He says they are not trying to claim ownership of MAME, and yet, by filing a trademark, he is quite clearly trying to claim ownership of the name "MAME." If he owns the rights to the games that are being pirated, he can sue on that basis. So as far as I can tell, the only good reason to register the name MAME as his trademark is to force the MAME folks to change to something else. This isn't about his IP rights, it's a form of competition-by-litigation. IANAL.

Just make sure you don't give them INSERT or DELETE permissions to those databases.

First "unmanned once around the moon," actually, wasn't it? And you forgot "first space station".

Given the low stylistic quality of the prose sample provided for the gentleman, I'm surprised he's throwing bricks.
Not customer, consumer. A customer expects service. A consumer just devourers whatever is shoved down his throat.
