Why do people continue to have this notion that any password can be cracked in a couple months. Adequate lockout techniques along with monitoring of failures means that it could take much, much longer to guess a password.
It's not prior art because the patent application states it should be in the BASIC language, where your example is in C.
Actually, the first claim does not mention BASIC. The second claim, based on the first, does. That first claim is the basis for all the other claims, and definitely has prior art in (&x == &y) in C. Such syntactic sugar is definitely obvious to someone well versed in computer languages. For example, Java has been doing the same thing with the == operator for Objects since it existed.
Yeah, I read this, and initially thought "cool!". However then I realized: wait: their interface is faster, sleeker, and easier than any local mail client I have. So I actually don't think I'll be using this
Nice to know the Soviets didn't do any fighting. And what about the Partisans in Russia? They did plenty to disrupt the logistics of the German war effort there.
while two give two votes to the winner and divide the rest proportionally.
Actually, the remaining votes are not divided proportionally. They are given to the winner in each House district. So suppose that Candidate A gets 51% of both districts 1 and 2 in NE, and Candidate B gets 49% in A and B and 100% in C (hypothetical, not realistic). Then Candidate A receives 2 votes (1 for A and 1 for B), and Candidate B receives 3 votes (1 for C and 2 for the whole state). As opposed to the system in the other states where Candidate B would get all 5 votes, or your system, where Candidate B would get 4 votes and Candidate A would get 1 vote.
Apparently they have never used lynx or links. Those are about as old as browsers get and they have a key (the down key) that allows keyboard-based navigation and highlighting of the currently selected link (inverting colors). And they go over specifying in claim 6 that it basically be implemented in a linked list. As for claim 10 with image links, that's been around a good long time also. Someone must have been very high to grant that patent
there's a speaker behind each athlete so that they hear it simultaneously (well, unless you count the sub-thousandths-of-a-second differences in cable length
Unfortunately, I have little time to write an eloquent post as you did, so here goes.
You say that incompetence is not one of the things you can take people criticizing the President about. Incompetence is being unable to competently perform one's job. When that job is as important as President of the United States, incompetence is utterly unacceptable
I wouldn't say that it is "compleatly obvious." Sure I've seen LED-illuminated cases, but cases that change color? and if you have, was it before 2002 (when the patent was filed for)?
Hmmm... What I meant there was that someone wanting to broadcast footage of the Olympics other than NBC cannot. Hence they are being censored.
Would your answer be any different if the event to be covered were a political debate and an exclusive license to broadcast tape-delayed video is given to the supporters of a single candidate. They could easily edit the broadcast to support their candidate. Others would be censored because they would not be able to broadcast an alternate (unbiased/biased other way) recording of that particular debate. If by "content" you mean a particular bias or viewpoint, then your definition seems a bit narrow.
Censorship is preventing you from saying something because of its content.
Got it. If you can determine based on the content if it is broadcastable, then it's censorship.
if I was holding a competition in my garage, I could set restrictions on who can televise it, and I would not be "censoring" people by doing so.
Alright, are you not censoring those that you don't like/don't pay you by saying "You cannot broadcast accounts of this competition"? From their point of view, certain content cannot be broadcast. Hence they are censored.
IIRC, the best system consists of "something you know" (a password), "something you have" (a USB token or access card), and "something you are" (biometrics). I don't know how many systems have all three.
And what happens if you are either injured, forget your password, or lose your token? What about recovery techniques? That could quickly become the weakest link of that system

not too long, 13th root of 10^100 is about 10^100/13 or about 10^8, so we have a number under a billion

Actually, I happened to buy a P241 a couple days ago. And yes, I started laughing as soon as I looked at the price for the 4 year warranty on it.

After 9/11, was your response "well, that happens?"
Yes. social change and social inequality lead to conflict, so yes, terrorism is to be expected.
Didn't Mozilla patch this a month ago? I remember reading something about the shell: protocol and URLs
Heh. You haven't seen my employee agreement.
You get paid, right?
The null set is still a set...

Actually, I was watching the nighttime coverage, but I guess you never let the facts get in the way of a good flame.

Hmmm... later on there was coverage that was almost exclusively the US team, with a minute or two of coverage of other teams
What about sending Nevada a message stating "All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive. Make your time." to them?
