First, of course, in order to do this, he first had to reduce the document so that the margins were the same, since the original PDF distributed by CBS is quite a bit larger. Then he superimposed the two documents, such that the margins on all sides lined up.
What he then discovered is that Times New Roman typeface is, when viewed on a computer monitor, really, really similar to Times New Roman typeface. Or rather, really really similar to a typeface that is similar to Times New Roman typeface.
Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.
All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; His bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medicals benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
Its noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his life-time.
Joe is home from work, he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dads; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republican's would still be sitting in the dark)
He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home.
He turns on a radio talk show, the host's keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn't tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day) Joe agrees, "We don't need those big government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I'm a self made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have".

"Representing SCO is David Boeis of Boeis, Schiller and Flexner, the attorney who prosecuted the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust case against Microsoft and represented Al Gore in the vote-counting controversy in the presidential election. "

The thing that urks me about the US is how they talk out of both sides of their mouths. Free trade is great and all, but if it cuts into their profit potential in the US, screw it. Slap on some import taxes, forget it. Same thing goes for farm subsidies.
You know that generic third world country that has all those terrorists in it? The reason they can't make a living as farmers and now have to turn to (insert your evil way of making a living here) is because of those farm subsidies.
The feedback mechanism of the robot was a sensor that told it how 'high' it was getting off the ground. It would vary sequences of motor moves to try and maximize height.
BUT THE DAMN THINK CANT FLY BECAUSE ITS TOO HEAVY!
So how the hell could it come up with a flying motion as an 'optimal' solution? You'd think the thing would hop, or climb like it did, not flap. So, it my opinion it sounds fishy.

I'm surprised no one has given one of the biggest reasons why multinationals have moved their R&D operations from the US to Canada - and that is the huge tax breaks the Canadian government makes to companies that do R&D.
Up to 40% of an engineers salary is paid by the Canadian government!!
Check out
The Washington Business Journal for just one idea of why a company might want to move expensive
R&D sites from the US to the great white north.
Just because they killed that product doesn't mean their plans for world domination are over. Moving those people to the XBOX team just means they are moving the functionality out of a dedicated box to a gaming/tv box. Makes perfect sense to me, and it just accelerates them to the finish line.
Look for XBOX2002 to play standard XBOX games, but also have a satellite tv hook up as well as more broadband options (perhaps an ADSL modem inside, just plug in the phone line!).
Killer way to get into peoples homes, don't ja think?
I'd love to see a plugin for apache that allowed a central server fingerprint database for new exploits.
Every hour or so, a web server could access a central fingerprint server and download what the latest exploits look like. If a exploit comes in, the server could deny that IP, or drop those accesses without needing to know what the particular exploit is. A self maintaining web server via the web.
When harddrives or whatever media reach the information density of film and the cost approaches the same point, AND the digital storage media have the same life, then it will make sense to switch to digital. We ain't there yet...
Take a 35mm negative. Here's a rough idea of how much information is contained in there:
8000dpi film scanner digitizes it to approx 100M raw image file. (Theoretical maximum information stored in the neg is limited by film, lens and camera shake).
100M x 35 = 3.5G which can be held in a single 8x10 sheet of paper no thicker than 1-2 mm. Stack em up to the size of a harddrive, maybe 2cm tall? Harddrive is lets say 4x5 inches... so you can fit 4 harddrives in that space of an 8x10.
3cm / 2mm = 150 x 3.5G = 520G storage in the space that you could fit 4 harddrives.
Harddrives these days are around 100G so that seems to be close from a density point of view.
But from a cost point of view....
4 100G HD = ~$200 x 4 = $800
vs
150 rolls of film x $4 = $600
Pretty close!
But what about storage lifetime?
How long are those bits going to stay in place on the media? How many years till the iron oxide dries up and falls off?
Same goes for film, it doesn't have an infinite life either, but you can put it in the freezer and expect at least 500 years for black and white negs or 100 years for colour.
Right now, I'm taking the film route and when the technology catches up, I'll bulk scan, digitize and store. But what media I'll be transfering to doesn't exist yet.
Many people have noticed the disturbing parallels that Scott Culp has tried to make between 'Information Anarchy' and Terrorism. One of the most interesting lines I found at the end of the article:
For its part, Microsoft will be working with other industry leaders over the course of the coming months, to build an industry-wide consensus on this issue. We?ll provide additional information as this effort moves forward, and will ask for our customers? support in encouraging its adoption. It?s time for the security community to get on the right side of this issue.
This paragraph reminds me of Bush's 'you can be on our side, or the terrorist's side...' and their whole coalition building plan! Spooky. I wonder if he crafted it that way on purpose, or if that is just what is in everyone's minds these days...
From now on, if a pilot thinks that someone is going to take over his plane, he/she should dump fuel right away. At least you can deadstick land at a nearby airport and not be a flying bomb.
