yeah, and while there might not be any new DRM, this could be the release that gets the image constraint token left on by "accident" at the factory just to see how many people get pissed when they can't watch in HD.
The big thing is that it will let the macbook pro address a full 4gb of RAM. In the previous revisions only 3GB could be addressed. I'd imagine there are also other power/performance improvements.
The US is a first to invent system. Therefore, if I come up with something at point x in time and you come up with the same something and obtain the patent at point x+1. My creation is still prior art invalidating your patent. In other words, the time of application has nothing to do with prior art. Also, as another poster as pointed out, WotC's application was before WizKids'.
yeah, i'm doing my best to not get sucked into drooling over the iphone, but its really hard not to want one. If they weren't on at&t, i'd probably be in line, but I'm not switching in the middle of my contract for one. Next year however...
With WoW once you hit the level cap, you need a group. The path to the level cap is very soloable, except for a few specific quests/instances. and really, at 5 hours a week, it'd take you long enough to hit the level cap, that you could solo the whole thing.
The snide response to that is "why isn't the full-time professional army winning in Iraq?" However, I personally believe that has less to do with the make-ups of the individual forces and more to do with the strategies involved on both sides. So I'm only going to point it out, and not make it.
Honestly, there's a small but loud group that doesn't consider Fallout 2 to be Fallout. This is one of those situations where no matter how good Fallout 3 is, the fanbois will hate it.
Because the guy could have copyright/patent policy that slashdot would cream over, but if he can't get elected, his position is just glory words. Sadly, race is still something that people consider when electing someone.
I think that Nintendo's statement that the DS was a third pillar was in case the DS flopped like the Virtual Boy did back in the day. The new hotness of development is on the DS. I'll admit I don't keep up with things like I used to, but what's the next big title coming out for the GBA? With the DS able to play GBA carts, I would say that specific development for the GBA is about gone.
Indeed, unless you're an idiot or a stat freak, there's no reason to buy Madden every year. I haven't gotten one yet, but I'll probably get the first version for the Wii that has online play. Cause the Wii version is awesome. Same thing with tiger woods, even though I've already got '07 there.
Madison greatly underestimated the ability of factions to coalesce into the parties we currently have. One could argue that the coalescence we have is the external resolution of the conflicts that Madison attempted to build into the system.
Under Federalist #10, each of the factions would slug things out w/in the system. This is not necessarily the case. A group of factions could always band together on a single (or multiple) issue(s) and force their preferred outcome. Madison assumes that all factions are mutually exclusive. The fact that there are Republicans arguing against the war (and Democrats for) shows that this is not the case.
Indeed, I highly doubt that getting alternative internet access beyond dial-up is possible inside a dorm. Hell, my cable TV is currently run by the university.
Patents are currently granted for 20 years from the date of filing. At the time this patent was granted, patents were awarded for 17 years from the date of granting. This means that the patent expires next year, as it was granted on Dec. 10, 1991. So yes, a patent that is 20 years old is out of date, this patent is only 16 years old. The summary gets that wrong.
What's to stop venture capitalists from researching some new invention during the implementation period, passing and the implementing it after it has passed into the public domain? Your system would effectively lock out those without the means of production already, leading to the same problem: Verizon creates and markets something that isn't appealing and doesn't advertise it. Vonage comes along and still gets hit with the infringement suit.
Also, patents are grated for 20 years from the date of filing, with extensions possible if it takes too long for the USPTO to get around to reviewing it. This is different from how things used to be granted. Before the late 1990s, patents were awarded for 17 years from the date of granting. This is what allowed for submarine patents, as there is limited protection for a patent while it is still in prosecution and one could simply withdraw and resubmit a patent. This would prevent others from filing for the same thing yet guarantees full protection once someone does come to market.

its eww-vuh bol
two things
1. the PS3 is beating the pants off the 360 in Japan. 2. There are a large number of people who will buy a PS3 for a new final fantasy.
They could argue trademark dillution, but I don't think they'd win.

Because the people that think there is room for evolution in God's plan aren't the ones building museums.
I thought Cheney was the one with the pacemaker?

In the US, the preference aggregation and labeling functions of parties are utilized to a much greater extent than in other places.
