...how much info is destroyed each year to offset these numbers. I mean shredded files, stuff thrown in trash, bills, deleted data files, discarded/lost storage media, etc... In the end (of each year), I wonder, what is the actual increase in stored information?
This may not apply to your situation, but here's what helped me.
1. Enable file/print sharing on both machines
2. Install a trusted 3rd party firewall (if necessary), configure it to allow file/print share traffic, and disable the OS's built-in firewall (if necessary).
3. For me, with Hewlett Packard products, the XP machine absolutely had-to-be the print server. The 2K machine would not install or accept commands from XP print drivers.
Hope this helps.
SCO just caught wind of this frivolous victory and is now suing eBay and Thomas Woolston for IP infringement for $699 per instance of the Buy-It-Now implementation.
SCO executives were quick to point out that a User (referred to by SCO as \usr) has, with their IP, always been able to use the Buy-It-Now (\bin, for short) feature which is embedded with SCO's software.
SCO spokespuppets advised users to please check their comupters for \usr\bin and to pleeeeeease buy some SCO stock this week as their lawsuit is a "sure-thing".
In the 1980's Radio Shack used to sell an FM transmitter that you could wire into your car radio. The range was good enough to transmit from vehicle-to-vehicle. We were in high school at the time and the number of radio stations in town were limited. Therefore, if we were lucky enough to be on the road within a couple of car lengths from someone we knew we could broadcast an obnoxious message through their radio if we guessed what station they were listening to. The girls did not seem to appreciate our unauthorized transmissions.;)
Wouldn't they rather just pay once to buy their own robots?
Yes, they would. But if you have a robot that performs better than theirs it is plausible that a market for privately-owned robots for contract labor/other work could start to emerge. I realize the concept is somewhat of a stretch, but this may apply to AI/DSS robots and similar technologies. A good argument could be made for both sides on Open v. Closed Source systems, Intellectual Property, and software patents depending on , in part, how much income the robot contributes to its owners. I, for one, would welcome competition from other robots, but if I were almost completely dependant on the money my robot provided to me, I don't think I would tell everybody how I did it. I feel like I'm starting to rant, so I'll leave it at that. I do agree with you that many corps. will have their own robots that perform most tasks to their satisfaction.
...didn't think about it. A couple of guys I used to work with would msg each other with the number 128 (IIRC) which, they said, (binarily) represented their two middle fingers extended in gest at the other person.
This is slightly off-topic for your discussion, but on-topic for the article:
From the Kazaa Lite 2.1x EULA:
"Please note that installing this software is ILLEGAL and is in violation of the Kazaa Media Desktop Terms of Use. If you do, however, install the software contained in this package, you agree to take ALL responsibility for your actions."
Another little known fact is the World Record Holder band for decibel level when playing live "in free air". 160dB - OUCH!!! I've never heard any of their songs, though.
Yes, thank you, just like that. Your linked page states that I must be running OS X. I'm running Mandrake 9.1 - is there a port or something similar - IIRC OS X is BSD based - will it install on my machine with its ".dmg" extension?
On a side note, I have wanting to see a program developed for the *nix desktop that allows a user to select from all available "man" pages and display them in the active window. This would minimize some time I spend on the command line - not that I mind the command line, but for document viewing, editing, and note-making I would rather have a graphical interface. Let's call it "RTFM";) . This may be able to be done through another program and I may just be unfamiliar with its operation. Anyone???
Online auctions were being performed years before this patent or eBay. For example, a man I used to work with was holding live online auctions for trading cards using the chat boards on CompuServe and other online services. He went so far as to set up a toll-free voice mail (we worked for a communications company) that updated the results of the bidding in near real-time. It was kind of funny to watch him work at it - One hand typing feverishly on the keyboard and the other hnd dialing that voice-mail while he was rambling off the updates every couple of minutes. He invested $60K in this business using his credit cards and was out of business a year later - a Dot-Com failure before the Dot-com bubble. But I'm rambling, maybe I should call him up and ask if he would like to jump this "Prior Art"/"IP" bandwagon.
Instead of everyone griping about M$ giving away software to these organizations why don't they encourage OSS developers to "seek out" the same or similar opportunities. That is to say, instead of just saying "It's free. Come and get it!" why don't they go after these markets as proactively as M$. Make some phone calls, presentations, giveaways etc...
IANAL, however I think the case may have been won by the fact that the "backdoors" were put in place while the offender was employed with the company. Therefore, they might have been able to prove malicious intent or something like that.

"I wonder, in the future, will I be able to buy anything with our new funny colored cash dollars?"
CNN has a story on automated machines rejecting the new money.

Follow some of these links for variety of options.
You are absolutely correct. I am affected by this change. Read more here. Port 135, specifically, is being blocked/filtered on the advice of the US government.

Why not pay me for the work my robot performs. The person with best-programmed robot is likely to reap the most $$$.

When visiting Redstone Arsenal, be sure to check out NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and the Redstone Scientific Information Center - if possible.

You also can't buy a lot of other things in the USA. Granted, some of them I do not ever want.

thanks - going to check it out now.

I wish their investigation would have played out something more like this:
CLARICE Good afternoon... I wonder if you could help me. I'm looking for MacCall, the sewing pattern company?
MR. GUMB They don't live here anymore.
Mr. Gumb starts to close the door, only to have Clarice push back against it, politely but firmly. She holds up her ID.
CLARICE Excuse me, but I really do need to talk to you. This was MacCall sewing pattern company. Did you know them?
MR. GUMB Just briefly. What's the problem, Officer?
Clarice and Mr. Gumb, still eyeing each other through the door crack...
CLARICE I'm investigating a violation of the DMCA. Who are you, please?
MR. GUMB Jack Gordon.
CLARICE Mr. Gordon, do you know anything about MacCall dumpster-diving for sewing patterns?
MR. GUMB No. Wait... Was it those stupid little drawings made up of broken lines? I may have seen them, I'm not sure...
Mr. Gumb glances briefly over his shoulder, towards his kitchen, then turns back to Clarice with a smile.
MR. GUMB MacCall had some employees, maybe they could help you. I have some cards somewhere. Do you mind stepping inside, while I looks for it?
CLARICE Thanks.
Moments later...
CLARICE - looking up from the bottom of a hole in the basement.
MR. GUMB It rubs the DMCA on its skin or else it gets the hose again. It does this whenever it is told.

certain hardware manufacturers utterly refuse to support anything other than Windows
Since you mentioned you did some coding, you may want to check out Linux Device Drivers plus some of their other kernel tweaking/modding books.
