Lighting up Bill Gate's competitive brain wiring is the stupidest mistake possible.
Microsoft is good at certain things (they never quit, they only get better, they listen to their customers and they admit when they are wrong are just a few) but what they are REALLY good at is polishing off the competition - and Google just made themselves the competition.
You could argue that MS picked the fight by going into the search business BUT that was like BUSINESS. This is PERSONAL.
like ugly on an ape.
Auto guns are effective though - I remember in Unreal, Half-Life and Duke Nukem 3D, auto guns were a pain in the ass to get by, and almost always killed you first time you met them.
2000 years is not a long time to the Chinese. They remember how Rome took care of business in Carthage, and before 2030 they'll do the same thing to the USA.
*IF* you are not careful (and I say this as a Canadian) they'll hit your west coast with 100 million cloned troops with the highest technology in the world and roll the USA up like a rug.
You'll become the CAP (Chinese Agricultural Protectorate) and few remaining Americans will be tenant farmers for the Han.
IIRC, he got a job doing a game development column for the late lamented Next-Generation Magazine (Whatever happened to THAT might be a good topic) and couldn't stop libeling people, quarreled with management and got fired.
I loved those books! Of all the tough guy books out there only two survived - the Destroyer and The Executioner - which spawned Marvel's rip-off The Punisher (which has eclipsed the original!)
And since the purpose of opportunistic companies like Verisign, who's keys are no better than anyone else's, is to make as much doe ray me as fast as possible, why are they going to do this?

I'd really like to see that, and so would a lot of other people - any idea why this is not public?
When I was first exposed to MtG I realised that the system it worked with was a large group or monoid or some such fundamental algebraic structure.
I researched the designer and sure enough - he has a Phd in Math. It has to be a large group (or whatever).
Has anyone with more education explored this deeper than me, so I can learn more than 'whatever', please?
Oh yeah? What about a Respondometer? Remember Doc Magnus' Metal Men? THEY had Respondometers!

I give Google 5-7 years on the outside.

because everyone one of his leading characters is an adolescent girl. I'm worried they'll catch him in the kip with one one day.
Some People Have Curly Brown Hair Till Painted Black.
Some People Have

IF this is for real.
Bigger then Insulin.
If it IS - they'll get the Nobel Prize and the committee will retire it. How can you top this?
The blind will see and the lame will walk.

On second thought, there's still cancer, aids, a whole bunch of powerful viral and bacterial diseases and brain damage to solve yet.
But still, this is the shit! (That's a technical term)
Mod parent up - he/she/it is absolutely right.
Software patents are a cancer on the industry - the only reason MS DIDN'T patent the fundamentals of the business is even THEY have some shame.
Oh wait, no they don't - they just didn't think of it at the time....
They're too busy wondering why manhole covers are round.

Flame me, but this is a warning.

Haven't heard from him since.
This will never happen as it takes skill and discipline to learn MC and these SMS phone kids are rapping idiot gangsta wanna-be wiggers.
It might wind up a project on Sourceforge, but like Unix itself, it will; always be for the few.
I once had a job like this at a construction company. I messed up and it was caught by the boss but I told him the software should have caught it.
He told me 'A poor workman blames his tools'.

Too bad the Destroyer movie dropped the ball..
Often when dling a file I notice five sources have 80% of the file and one source has the whole file.
BUT BT just treats the whole source as an ordinary source and just leechs data the others also have.
What it SHOULD do is get the data only that one has. Get the rare pieces first, you see.
This will prevent waiting ages for that last little bit.
You neglected to mention that we practice so much by ourselves....
If the prob of a head is (1 + Epsilon) / 2 then the prob of a head becomes (1 + Epsilon to the power of N) / 2.
As Epsilon must be less than one this diminishes towards zero with remarkable speed, and the prob of a head approaches .5 just as fast.
Best. Slashdot. Message. EVER.

Having Linus endorse BK was the best thing that ever happened to it, better than everything else put together.
Now they've blown it because of some suit's decision.
Don't think for a minute the big boys aren't trying to take the Internet away from us. The missed the opportunity once, never twice.
