How would one LEGITIMATELY go about this. The article mentions grey market brokers, but how would one go about getting rid of an IP-block they actually own? Or can they even be legally transfered?
Get that retro-yet-l33t look with your brand-spankin-old CDC 6600. Sporting 65,000 60-bit words of memory in a completely SOLID STATE (that's right - NO TUBES!) design, it's sure to impress that special coed. A terrific gaming platform, the CDC supports some of the latest interactive entertainment, such as Lunar Lander and Star Trek

The temperature beer should be served at depends on the beer. With the exeption of some barleywines, beer should never be served warm or even room temperature.
Ales in the british tradition are typically served at "cellar" temps -- around 55F-60F. Continental lagers are best a little colder but generally not below 45F. A few belgian styles do better even colder, but never ice cold (38-45F).
If served ice cold, beer tends to lose most of it's flavor and seems thinner. The same is also true to a lesser extent with increasing carbonation. In the case of an american pilsener like bud, you're not missing much if the beer is ice cold. In the case of a fine czech pilsener like Budvar, you'd be missing a lot.
I homebrew, and, in the process, have picked up a couple of microscopes, hemocytometers, refractometers, NIST-calibrated therms, a variety of strange and noxious chemicals, stirplates, pyrex flasks and a variety of other scientific arcana.
Hardly SCA materials (unless they're making ye-olde crystal meth).
Any sensors available other than the camera? For long term useage, I'd expect at least rudimentary obstacle sensing; a robot that runs around an unstructured environment for too long will generally not do to well without decent obstacle sensors.
Anybody else have one of these that would care to comment?
ok, so when did a domain name become "property"?? I've always read this otherwise that the domain name is only being granted and does not become the property of the holder.
For me, the distiction would have been splitting hairs -- maybe I only sold permission for the "grant" to be transferred to the other party. Verisign had a form that needed to be filled out; it (or it's sucessor) is probably still there. A look at that could give you a hint as to what Verisign feels that the legal status of a domain is.
The distinction is significant, though, for the sex.com guy, since according to the court decision (as quoted in the article), a finding that the domain name is property could rsult in major damages for Verisgn.
For a fee of $1,000, Networks Solutions processed the domain name conversion and sex.com officially became Cohen's property.
Wow. I sold my old domain a few years later (waste.com in '98 I think) and I don't recall a fee for the change at all (or it was a modest fee and the buyer paid).
But in fairness, ESMTP doesn't pretend to address any problems as urgent as the spam problem. The hope, presumably, would be that necessity would drive adoption. Still, I have my doubts about how certification authorities are going to be managed. (see my other post).
I may be wrong, but what, exactly, is to keep spammers from becoming their own PCA? Why can't they simply generate PITs willy-nilly?
Sure, ISPs can block PITS from unsavory PCAs, but what stops spammers from creating new, bogus PCAs as needed? If there are only a few "recognized" PCAs, doesn't this tend to concentrate power into a relatively small set of entities?
Since then there's been a bit of a hole in the market for somebody to sell prepackaged wireless robot stuff to researchers, especially those that work in the software/AI/algorithms end of things don't care to spend effort developing hardware.

Nomads seem to have had a lot of what little market share there was for research robots, but there are a number of other companies that offer similar products. I'm wondering, in fact, if the market isn't really too crowded.
Of course, any truly MANLY researcher would build their own.
however, in none of these cases was encryption reported to have prevented law enforcement officials from obtaining the plain text of communications intercepted.
The SimCity example is interesting. That game doesn't translate nicely into real life because you can't click on actual people to get a summary of how happy they are or what they want. You can't even get accurate information by asking most people. You get that information from observation, empathy and an understanding of the 'human condition' which is learned from literature, history and art.
You can TOO click on people to see what they want. As it turns out, they usually want you to stop clicking on them. Occasionally, they even take out restraining orders...
wouldn't porn-based learning be far more effective. Our brains, after all, have been "wired" to respond to sex for all of our evolutionary history. I see a book deal and a sh*t load of seminars in my future. I'll be rich!

Wouldn't it have been a little late at that point?

No -- that would be "North Korea". Do not be fooled by the lies of the Americans -- Dear Leader is one seriously l33t d00d.

Kidding, folks. Only kidding...

Whoops -- scratch that part about dealing with the multiple voltages; I just noticed the DC-DC converter blurb.
