The channels are normally spaced at around 8kHz or so for voice, but channels for IP will likely be far wider. Most RF front-ends are going to use some sort of AFC since that's wy more reliable and cheaper than dicking around with temperature controlled crystal oscillators etc. THis would mean you'd need a hell of a big doppler shift to make any detectable problems.
Let's see. Supersonic aircraft still manage fine shifting digital data. So too do satellites and shuttles etc. Basically any car speeds are not going to register.
Firstly, the HP inkjet cartridge includes the print head, so no real damage is done if you run a bad cartridge.
However, there are far more important things than exiry date for the useful lifetime. If you use the printer in a very dry area then the ink is far more likely to dry out quicker. If we're really to believe that HP is doing this to be nice to us, then I'd expect to see a humidity sensor.
It might be OK to tell the user that their cartridge has expired and let them choose to use it or not. Surely the choice is the customer's. Analogy: Milk has an expiry date. If you use old milk, that's your business. The milk company don't prevent you from using milk that's a couple of days past expiry (though maybe if they could figure out technology to do this they would).
What the parent poster really meant was "useful energy", a concept not covered by thermodynamics.
If you input a ton of chicken guts (waste) and a gallon of oil (useful energy) a get two gallons of oil (useful energy) out, then you've got an increase in useful energy.
If this is being defensive, then they're being quite aggressive in how they're doing it.
The primary goal of the IsNot patent seems to be to sow some FUD. Even if IsNot is thrown out of court there's going to be that horrible nagging feeling that if you don't use MS products you're going to expose yourself to problems.
It's a matter of care. A dyslexic bloke I know generates very coherent documentation, emails etc - especially when compared to his peers. Why? He *knows* he has limitations and checks everything he writes three times. His peers just bang out their emails etc and hit "send" with no editing/spell checking etc, because they are not aware of their imperfections.
One would think that something like this will kill Lexmark. ie. If you screw over the customer, then the customers will shun you and you go out of business.
Unfortunately it seems that this thinking is flawed. Customers these days are so used to having their rights, privacy, whatever abused that they expect to be ripped off by the Lexmarks, Microsofts etc of the world.
What happened to the old days when the customer was king and great customer service was the way to do business.
PDAs are losing ground (in terms of units sold per year) as more people buy more sophisticated phones.
MS is struggling to make headway in the phone market.
PalmSource is switching to a Linux kernel and many/most Asian phone makers are using Linux with QT, or some other front-ends.
Microsoft is the leader of handheld OS market I doubt this very much. It depends on how one defines "OS","handheld" and "market share". If you include RTOSs as OSs and phones as handheld devices and define market share in terms of units shipped, then VxWorks and other RTOSs will have 90% or so between them.
So the question is not if, but can it be a knowledge superpower again.
Consider that over 3000 years,Inda was a cultural and scientific power house when Europe was still rolling around in its own shit. eg. Pythagoras theorem was proven in Inda before 1000BC - ovef 400 years **before** Pythagoras was even born.
Typically, straw buildings are plastered onto a base of wire mesh. If you're using this method, be aware of the RF screening effect of wire mesh. Depending on whether you're using this and where you're using it, you might end up with RF screening that screws up Wifi.
We're somewhere along the following evolutionary parth for war:
One king doesn't like the other king so he goes beats him up. Unfortunately he also gets hurt in the process.
Hey instead of **me** being hurt I'll send some blokes (==soldiers) over to beat up the other king.
The other king doesn't like to be beaten up, so he puts his soldiers in the way. We now have two armies beating eachother up.
Hey let's not send our soldiers into the battlefield to get hurt, let's send robots. Nobody gets hurt. Soldiers can sit at home and eat pizza.
The enemy then gets pissed that these robots beat up their people and build their own. Now we have robots beating up on robots.
Next, the one army gets pissed that their robots are getting beaten up and start hacking the enemy comms to stop the other robots. The enemy responds by hacking the hackers...
So what's the logical conclusion? Is war going to just end up being a big computer simulation with nobody getting hurt? Perhaps the kings should just go decide over a nice game of chess!
The MIT robot normally walks properly like a human. For the "after the game" demo they wanted to make it look like an "after the game" human. Took a lot of effort to get that right!
Someone put together an idea of using a bunch of ARM "systems on a DIMM" in a laptop format using clustering. Quite a neat idea... Some benefits include modularity and power saving. Just turn on enough CPUs to support your current processing load and sleep the rest. Just buy the ones you need.
So how do you reconcile the idea of freedom with an "approved license"? Suddenly we have a body claiming to be in control of the freedom to generate licenses!
If anyone can make a go of the Unix corporate desktop it is Novell. They understand the corporate environment like no other. Releasing this code strengthens their position.
The average slashdotter changes his mind between OSS is good and OSS is bad depending on whether he has a job or not.
It's pretty obvious that Gates' attitude to patents etc will hchange depending on whether he's on the giving or the receiving end.
Unlike for most of us, things haven't changed much for RMS in the last 14 years.... Hurd is still the best idea in town (ready RSN) and he's still living a Jesus sandals hippy lifestyle.

The last news was probably "go invented" dated 2500BC or whenever.

Makes sense if they're going to ship the criminals to CA.
