uh, 949.00 for equipment and installation. i don't mind paying more monthly (even 60) but a grand outlay is pretty steep (three times the price of ADSL). i wonder what the actual cost to BT is for upgrading an exchange to ADSL?
Aye, that's the version I will try to order when my check clears. Low availability on that one too ("Only 2 left in stock but more will be available--order now").
Furthermore, the first claims is a peculiar one, especially this part:
whereby the seller may create a marketplace listing for the product without supplying an identifier of the product
What you're selling?
Something
Sure, but what
I'm not going to say, I'm going to stick with my patent
In other words: seems like your won't infringe. Bezos waisted too much money on attorney fees, it seems to me at first sight.
You may be right that he wasted money on attorney fees.
The wording of the quote is useless for describing the process that he's trying to patent. What I think it's alluding to is the "Sell Yours Here" button and the "$USERNAME, you can make money today. Sell your past purchases at Amazon.co.uk." paragraph that appears on the frontpage if you're logged in. Both of which allow you to list an item without creating your own description (as you would have to on ebay), but by simply clicking the appropriate link(s).
I thought patents had to be specific, not loose as a two-dollar whore?
Very well said! A bit harsh, mind you but the GIMP is not the replacement for PS that every zealot claims it is.
I'm not professional but my father does prepress for the likes of Pepsi on the east coast. All the shops that I've visited him at have the same set up: The latest Photoshop running on the latest Macs. There's occasionally an SGI station kicking around but he never uses it (except to play cds -- that got modded -1 Troll last time. sigh). I think they use *nix on the fileservers mostly (they were locked in a clean room at GammaOne so I couldn't look).
My rather roundabout point is that the GIMP has no place in a professional graphics house. For amateur use it may be okay to have a limited feature set and bugs (to be fair, I haven't had 1.3 crash on me at all) but not when it's costing you money. I would love for it to be a viable alternative but it isn't yet.
I hate spam as much as anyone, having a ham-to-spam ratio of 1:100, but terrorism it isn't. Are telemarketers terrorists? People who drive too fast? The colour blue? Jigsaw puzzles?
Spam is most often fraud and if there's to be a reasonable legal solution to the problem it should come from this angle. Not by embracing draconian anti-terrorist laws that should never have passed in the first place.
Personally, I'd prefer a technological answer for a technological problem instead of waiting for Big Brother to fix it.
Or use an open source client to connect to half a dozen p2p networks ( edonkey, overnet, bittorrent, gnutella, gnutella2, fasttrack, soulseek, direct-connect, and opennap)...

And BSD is still techinically property of the Regents of the University of California.
looks like a job for the governator.

That's true. I used it on usenet but have always felt that it doesn't fit on a web forums.
Slightly offtopic perhaps, but is SuSE publically traded? Symbol and exchange?
*snort*
Two things: You over estimate your own competence. A notebook is not a desktop.
You tried it for a whole day you say?! Well, golly gosh...
this, you see class, is called projection...
Or maybe even this.
Just kidding. However, Deutsch's Fabric of Reality is an accessible and engaging text for the layman like me.
Aye, that's the version I will try to order when my check clears. Low availability on that one too ("Only 2 left in stock but more will be available--order now").
Mine was:
"*Providing false or fraudulent information will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law*"

Doesn't MT use MySQL as a backend? There you go...
(Or you might be using a Berkeley DB file which I know nothing about but could presumably be edited with a text editor [?])

Sad story. You got a smoke?
I saw the remake...it's really very good.

Using Mozilla Firebird & Thunderbird for web/mail is great if you're dual-booting linux/XP because it's easy to share profiles between the two OS's.

"It looks like you are saving the world", offered Clippy. "Would you like help?"
"Just open a socket", growled Bauer.
Most (all?) PGP support for mail clients is provided in the form of plugins, like enigmail for thunderbird. Even still, I don't use encryption either.
I wonder how many professions of undying love Ms McConnell has received so far...
