I definitely agree....with so many other things that are important....including economic/social issues...this should be the least of everyone's worries.
wonder if this "joe" fella is influenced by/.'s most despised character...Jack Thompson.
funny and ironic that his last name is phonetically similar to the Japanese word "" ("baka") which means stupid/idiot.....
except that his armies would also release additional CO2 into the atmosphere...from you know...exerting themselves from all that killing...not to mention horses do eat grass, though they probably don't release as much CO2 and methane as a cow...I'm sure it's not 0%. they probably cut down plenty of trees for firewood along the way too.
As one reader already pointed out....xover cable FTW
or....like with many modern printer/copiers...you can print from USB drives or other media.
And copying doesn't need network connectivity....
and for those nay-sayers who say it'll store it on it's internal hard drive....many printer/copier companies have been getting flak for storing things on the hard drive. Many if not all have released tools for wiping that data (or in a submenu on the unit itself.)
And I wonder how good the OCR really is....and if it can handle the 45deg test.
where's the "goodluckwiththat" and the "whatcouldpossiblygowrong" tags?
If Murdock does what he did in the UK....it's gonna flop badly....still....I'd rather not see people pay for moronic [sarcasm]"fair and balance"[/sarcasm] news....shoot...I think I need to put quotes around the word "news"...and add an asterisk...the lil' cross thingie...perhaps superscripts of the first 500 prime numbers....etc. for the fine-print (no pun).
agreed...plus the differences between eminent domain on tangible (physical) items and net neutrality are that with net neutrality the owner of the line retains ownership, gets paid by their customers, and it's not just one party vs the government; it's ALL parties across the board.
man....peta's gonna have a heart-attack....perhaps even an aneurysm too. On one hand, they want to support alternative energy....but for them to know that flies were harmed...
my thoughts exactly... yet...."fatal1ty" is on the list....WTF. shoot....the fictional characters from Penny Arcade would be better....or even what's-his-face from firingsquad.com....or Duke Nukem....or...Gordon Freeman. it would at least make sense....
man....if that's the case, they can go after ANY software company that used/uses C++....even Microsoft.
seriously, that's like saying someone copied your letter because they started their letter with a "Dear Sir".
Plus, wasn't there some sort of law/precedent that exempted data structures from it? (aka the "struct", etc.) especially if it's for interoperability. And some of those lines seem to reference (link) to external library functions too. Claiming that as infringement is similar to Coca-Cola claiming that Pepsi-Cola is infringing because they use the word "Cola."
man...why won't SCO just shrivel up and disappear already? they are worse than crabs and I don't mean seafood!
I thought it was only infringing if they used (copied) art/words/code/etc. but not game play.
if they didn't use the original artwork and it was fresh code....they could use "Lemmini" as the name (or perhaps "Tribe Lemmini"...a play on the scientific name)
Same reason why you can have so many different jewel puzzle games.
yea...there's a reason why there's a media type definition for CSS. Plus using javascript to load browser specific CSS so I don't have to rely on CSS hacks and also keeps things "valid"
Oh, and I dropped support for IE6. IE7 is going soon too as IE8 becomes mainstream among IE users. Still, I hate IE with a passion.
My main browsers are FF3.0x+/3.5+, Chrome/Safari, and Opera 9/10....in terms of testing.
why there an "oil" tag on this one? sure, they probably can't operate it while there's the oil issue in the gulf....though, I wonder if their reverse-osmosis filtration systems can filter out oil.....or the seadog pump that use a "wheel" (also wonder if those "wheels" are like a centrifuge)
even if it can't...send Kevin Costner in (rolls sarcastic eyes here), he'll make it work some how.
it looks cool and promising but is it "true" neutral as in traditional cars where the "input" side is not contributing power but the "output" side is free to spin and not "contribute" power back in?
It would have been cool to see the same demo with a "load" on the output side...perhaps just a heavy disc so once you got the thing up to full speed, the disc would act like inertia and keep spinning even if the D-Drive was in neutral (aka...what you'd have to do if your Toy*ta has a "sticky acceleration" and you need to pop it into neutral)

even more reason why I detest software patents
wait..."peripheral attention"?
didn't both AOL and ICQ back in the late 90's use those annoying flashing taskbar icons when there was a new unread message?
just like how high tech looks like magic to some of those in the developing world...
literacy is "highly trained"...especially if you consider the current state of our education system.

what happens if you unplug the LAN cord?

I'd say both.....there's no point in playing a "fast tech demo"......if I wanted to do that...I'd actually play Doom 3.
what about the beta testers?

but u'r still paying for it....
that's what my LAN party rig is for...
dunno...the Chrome and the Volari would've slowed things down...greatly.
sure...it's cool..but at the same time...gimmicky..
once I install the card...it stays in the there and not in the briefcase.
And the "gaming mouse"....I'm sorry, I like my G5 (rev 2).
Plus the price makes it un-attractive.

then perhaps Go'auld might be better.
it just reminds me that I really need to start speaking in Klingon more frequently.
Prior Art doesn't apply thus invalidating the patent-troll's patent?
What about eminent domain?
It is for the public good so can't a court rule that the patent holder is trollin' and to STFU?
yet, no one is thinking of the children.
