IBM has some very smart legal folks working on their behalf and this is a pretty clever move on their side. They're not going to get money on the counterclaims to balance the cost of pursuing them and SCOX's delaying tactics have been based off of having to defend themselves against the counterclaims.
It would be intersting to know if this was IBM's strategy all along. Often time lawyers (especially prosecutors) will add extraneous items to a complaint or motion just so they can then kick it out later and look like the good guy.
With a UID such as yours, we really need some JEs of your prophesies. Does Tricky Dick think the Red Sox can come back? Will Saddam be convicted? And just when will Duke Nukem hit stores?
Alas, they do not truly exist:-( It is from an episode of the Simpsons in which Chief Wiggums makes a chili so hot that not even Homer can handle it. I grew 19 pepper plants this season but, with Oregon weather being rather fickle, the harvest will be pretty modest. I have not tried Dave's Insanity yet. The hottest commercial sauce I've had is Scorned Women (very good, good stuff). Since I've been growing peppers the last few years, though I mostly use homemade Hot Sauce.
I don't know if you've grown them, but chile peppers are actually fairly easy to grow. As long as they get lots of sun, warm temperatures, and moderate watering they do great;-)
And, in case you'd like a little more context for the quote:
Surrounded by speared skulls and other various occult items, Wiggum puts on welding mask and gloves, and proceeds to stir a boiling mixture. Homer steps in front of him, on the theme from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly".
Wiggum: Afternoon, Homer. Care for some chili? I've added an extra ingredient just for you. [dramatic] The merciless peppers of Quetzlzacatenango! [exhibits a glowing pepper] [crowd gasps] Grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum. [drops the pepper back in the pot] [crowds observes in silence]
Homer: Uh, Wiggy? My chili's getting cold.
PS- Hopefully this renders, the preview is overlaying my reply on top of your post *fingers crossed*
Depends on the Star Destroyers shields. If they can prevent the beaming over of photon torpedos all over the damn place, then they'll most likely win. If not, well... we do know that a Star Destroyer will crash once its bridge is destroyed. I mean if a single A-Wing can take one out, then a couple few photon torpedo suppositorys out to do the trick.
From TFA: This year's Nobel Prize Laureates in chemistry have made metathesis into one of organic chemistry's most important reactions. Fantastic opportunities have been created for producing many new molecules - pharmaceuticals, for example. Imagination will soon be the only limit to what molecules can be built!
So does that mean that we can build long chain carbon molecules like, say, gasoline, out of other organic material like, say, chicken shit? 'Cause that's what I'm imagining.
It may not be hard science, and I don't pretend to understand it, but its happening. Heck he even predicted that the tenth planet discovered would be named Xenu.
Can this technology be used by third parties for malicious purposes? e.g.- If Tom Cruise finally ses the light and turns on his Masters, would they be able to track him down with this? I mean, forget the government for a moment, do we have to worry about everyone now?
"But see, if we had to ensure that everything worked all the time, it would take too long and nothing would happen. There would be no software."
"Oh, I hadn't thought of that," says the commentator whose argument proceeds to disappear in a puff of reality.
Meanwhile, Industry, rather content with itself, goes on to prove that black is white and white is black and is sued into oblivion by the DMCA.
It will be a little icon on the tray of your task manager bar. Typically in the lower right corner. When you click it it brings up any drive which is attached externally (and on laptops sometimes internally) and asks if you want to stop the drive. After clicking it will let you know that it is safe to remove the drive.
We have used some of the 250GB Western Digitals here and a known fault is that, if you remove the drive improperly, it will corrupt the entire drive. Rendering useless all 200+ gigs of info on there. But yeah, other than that, they work great! So be careful how you unplug and always use the "Remove Drive" feature.
If you're repentent the first time you'll probably get a warning. After that, well, you'll hear something like, "Welcome to Smotesville, population you!"
It's not a like a hurricane in which everyone can agree on which worm is which. How do you know that Worm Bob really is an unique new worm, and not just a variant of Worm Jimbo? And what happens when the 21 names run out?
She jumped up, grabbed it in mid-air, bit and decided she didn't like classical music...
Instead of asking the obvious question, "why were you throwing your CD" (note no "?"- I'm not a asking), I will instead point out that your kitty might have better appreciated an introduction to classical music via listening. If, however, you are comitted to an introduction of classical music via taste, I would recommend that the composers' works are played in the correct order. Nothing tastes worse than decomposing maestros.

Yeah! Nixon 2008: Tanned. Rested. Ready.

SO they are either smart or really smart.

Uh, that'd be your consumers J.

Shouldn't we be encouraging server failures which enable their freedom from magnetic imprisonment? Kinda like PETA freeing lab animals...
All they have to do is sell no more than 400,000 units and they're set!
Didn't the Japanese just get the first picture of a Giant one of these recently?

You are most welcome, and I'm returning the favor of your friending as well.

Satire, this is iggymanz.
Now if you excuse me, there's a -1 Flamebait that just walked and is asking for me.
After all, if your supervisor is going to channel their Inner PHB, they give you little choice.

Since Katrina relief is now a French concern, you no longer have to worry about misallocation of tax dollars.

And yes, I am still grumpy about the forced upgrade to XP yesterday.
One comet in and my joke's already taken. You do what you can.
