If obvious patents aren't allowed, then IT companies will simply start burying the patent office in such detailed applications that they won't be able to declare them obvious.
Well, at least the patents wouldn't be overly-broad like the ones the patent office sells now.
And after applying all the same tweaks in about:config that i do to Firefox, it ran faster than Firefox.
It's also a lot better about memory usage. I've found that you can utilize these advantages in firefox just by overwriting firefox's.so files with flock's. So far I've yet to run into any problems. I'm currently calling the combination "fireflox".
Microsoft simply needs to add two buttons to Visual Studio.Net which say "create cluster project" and "deploy to cluster". Then it is only a small step for a lot of programmers to use Windows Cluster System.
I have to imagine that if developers can't figure out how to create and deploy an app without some sort of help from the gui, then they're not likely to be able to process complex parallel algorithms.
Well, it microsoft increased their uptime by 20% and is now more reliable than linux (with 10-20 hours of downtime a year), then windows went from averaging 60 days of downtime in a year to less than 10 hours of downtime in a year. If this is actually true, then it is quite an improvement.

I don't get it. He was trying to patent the egg?
If it weren't for your post, I probably wouldn't have read the article.
Plus, with the extra 150 megs, they could ship EMACS.
Don't worry, by then we'll have etch to balance it out.
How else would they be able to run java?

You forgot "I've done it before and I'll do it again".
I've tagged this article "developersdevelopersdevelopersdevelopers". I suggest that everyone else do the same.
Duke Nukem Forever has made it to the front page twice in the past week. I think slackware deserves at least as much attention.
It depends, there are 20,600 hits for Illegal Wiretaps. Odds are some of those are for federal employees.

Vodka?
It makes perfect sense. Stimulant + Depressant = Balance.
Plus, if we deregulated all of these drugs, then we could put them in energy drink form.
It really depends on whether or not the mini magnet is stronger than the mega magnet.
Don't worry, I'm sure their wrists will be very sore when this is all over.
I've written a useful script to compute how much you owe. Just run this on all of your computers, sum up the total, and mail the check off to SCO.
find / -exec file {} \; | grep ELF | wc | awk "{print \$1 * 699;}"
So are we all going to owe $699 per ELF binary on our computers?
Thanks, I'll change it.
You've got to dig through tons of crap before you can find a tasty peanut.
I don't think "tasty" is the appropriate word for describing a peanut that has been sitting under tons of crap.

436.8 days a year.
I'd like to read the full report and find out how many years of uptime a Solaris or HP-UX system gets in a year.
It's too verbose to be easily edited by humans?
