No, a space elevator makes all other surface-to-orbit spacecraft not redundant, but useful only for specialized purposes. Orbit transfer vehicles will of course still be necessary, and landers for planets that don't have space elevators yet.
Providing faithful emulations of video games (and old home computers) is our primary experience with this process. But the same techniques can be applied to other areas. Aging hardware and software can be replaced by new hardware with a completely compatible program.
When I did editing (at a lit/academic journal), the main reason we wanted Courier was because that was all our scanner could handle. In other words, if we didn't get a disk, and we were pretty sure we were going to use it, we explicitly asked for courier.
Obviously a take-off on Valorum, the Chancellor who preceded Palpatine; of course, the idea is that you're supposed to imagine that GL originally had Valorum as Palptaine's younger courtier.
Yes, everyone knows that OS X works on x86. But because they have an emergency backup strategy doesn't mean that they're going to switch any time soon, or ever.
Unfortunately, your "2 billion in R&D" argument works for all chips. So you're assuming that AMD won't be able to keep up with Intel because they can't compete with that R&D money, too. They're more directly competing with Intel than the PowerPC ever was.
I personally think it will be at least a year and a half before you will see a G5 laptop. I think you will see Apple running on Intel (Itanium) or AMD(Opteron) first.
Brilliant, that... hiding your troll until the very last phrase. But of course everyone realizes that Apple won't release any hardware with a non-PowerPC chip until at least the G5 is completely played out - unless some kind of Crusoe-like morphing technology is involved. They don't want their software vendors to have to recompile all their apps.
In its lawsuit, Navitaire initially alleged copying of its source and binary code, but backed off this claim after it became evident during the discovery phase that this wasn't true, BulletProof says in Tuesday's complaint.
Then, Navitaire amended its complaint alleging instead that eRes accepted some of the same commands as its product, included similar database fields and employed the same business logic, according to BulletProof's Tuesday complaint.
Commands, database fields, and business logic. Not algorithms, not code. In other words, functionality, not "expression."
If you were right about code being licensed and read by the first company, then yes, exactly, translation would have been an excellent analogy. Indeed, even though I suspect you are wrong on the details of the case, you should be modded insightful for the analogy: translations are copyright by both the author of the original and the author of the translation; if the translation of a copyright work is unauthorized then obviously the translator's "copyright" would be invalid.
But that doesn't sound like the case, if the InfoWorld article is correct.
Then why don't you post a link providing the complete information? I posted on the few details I was given. If it is more a matter like Dark Fire posted, then yes, that's a different point.
And how would you describe your use of "phenomena" for the singular? (Phenomenon is the singular, phenomena the plural - from Greek neuter 2nd declension noun, "thing that shows/displays itself.")
So what if it's written in different code? I can play pop songs on a trombone and record it. It's still the same song and it's still infringement.
If you wrote your own dance song, just because it had 3 stanzas, a bridge, and a chorus, and was in F sharp, that doesn't mean that the authors of every other dance song that had 3 stanzas, a bridge, and was in F sharp could sue you for copyright infringement. That's the best analogy to this issue.
If the algorithms and the basic structure of the programs (the program flow) were absolutely identical, maybe, just maybe there would be a point here. But just the purpose of the program and some details of how it works for the user? Isn't that like suing every movie that has a chase scene in the beginning and a love scene just before the big climax?
AT&T broke up into: Bellsouth, Bell Atlantic, Nynex, Pacific Telesis, Ameritech, Southwestern Bell, and US West. (Was SNET a separate Baby Bell, part of Ameritech, or a non-Bell?)
Bell Atlantic and Nynex are now Verizon.
Who besides US West is in Qwest?
So if Verizon, Qwest, SBC, and Bellsouth merged with AT&T and Lucent, Mama Bell would be back together again.
More generally, if this analysis is right, it means that the "habitable zone" for planets around other stars may be much wider than has been assumed, since Venus had been thought to be far outside it.
Damn, if this is right, I guess they'll have to expand the HABSTAR database some. Isn't that terrible?:-)
Ah, but the *surface* temperature may have risen a hell of a lot more than 100K. Remember what it says in the article, that the surface melted and reformed. Maybe you're right - airborne extremophiles might have survived, and maybe sulfur breathers - but we can't be sure about it.
That's just wrong. We have employee id numbers for that purpose; they have nothing to do with anything, and you can't guess someone's id number no matter how much you know about them.
I dare say that people under 20 don't even know an apple corps exists/existed.
So you're saying no one under 20 has a copy of Let It Be, has ever looked at the front of the CD, and seen the little (whole) apple logo with "apple records" on it just underneath the (c) 1970 EMI Records Ltd. statement? Or of the Beatles' Anthology disks, all of which have apples on the disks themselves?
Sorry, this is not a frivolous lawsuit. Apple Corps has an agreement with Apple Computer in which they agreed to stay out of the music business. Apple Computer is now releasing "iTMS exclusive" tracks given to them by their recording company partners, in which they are effectively behaving in a way indistinguishable from a record label, which is what Apple Records is. Sure, nearly everybody is able to make the distinction, but Apple's foray into the recording industry is obscuring the original Apple Records' brand - people think Apple and recordings, and they think iTMS. That's one of the points to trademarks.
Anyway, Apple Computer will just buy Apple records off with another huge settlement; McCartney has said that Apple Records made more money from lawsuits against Apple Computer than on any of their recording releases (and that's saying something, given the couple of Beatles' albums).
To be honest, on the grounds of principle, it strikes me as a little too absolute. But what if someone *can't* get out before then because they can't find another job (in this economy) and have kids in school, etc.?
(On the other hand, as a measure to protect you from future SCO lawsuits over "SCO IP"-tainted employees, I have to say it makes a lot of sense.)
These ideas, particularly the latter, however, may prove misguided; breaches against servers are rooted not only in the security of their running OS, but also in the effectiveness of the security implementation of the system admin him/herself.
Unfortunately, one of the arguments we use around here (and I mean *I* use it) is that UNIX admins by their nature are more security-conscious than Windows admins.
So, what are the possible causes of this?
1. We're wrong?
2. UNIX admins are more security conscious, and so they are aware of and report more breaches than Windows admins?

I believe the stupid part is "after receiving a low-battery warning."
It is emulating, as they themselves say:

"That chick he played with in The Mummy" is Rachel Weisz. She has far better things to do than to do a film version of Heir to the Empire.

The Greedo scene was cut from Ep. I, but is in the CD extras. I suspect Han (as a kid) and Chewbacca (as an adult) will be in it.

Damn. A C64 TCP/IP virus. THAT would be something.
No, that was NOT a suggestion.

Funny, but obviously untrue. Transportation of criminals to Australia was instituted in 1788 - after the US had become independent.

He made a positive statement about what the contract does and does not say.
There is no restriction for Apple Computer being a retailer.
You've read the contract, then?

Let's hope it's the latter.
