Although the designers knew full well it could never be utilized for docking airships, due to crosswinds at that height. It was a strictly ornamental way to set a contemporary building height record.
Huh?! What API? Unless your considering router configs as application programs, there is no API. And there are literally hundreds of books written about cisco configuration, beyond those published by/for cisco.
Nonsense. RFC-ignorant doesn't even suggest a domain should have a working webmaster address. abuse@ and postmaster@ are the only role addresses all domains must have.
I mean, c'mon, the USPTO makes the majority of its money these days on providing and renewing patents. It makes nothing on investigating or refusing them.
Actually it brings in money in every minute sub-step of the process. You'll have difficulty finding the specifics on the USPTO site (sorry, I didn't bookmark when I was perusing it a while back), but getting a patent or a trademark isn't just a matter of filling out one form and paying one fee - there are literally hundreds of different forms involved and a separate filing or processing fee for each.
The original pagerank patent 6,285,999 lists larry page as inventor, but The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University is the assignee. Google has an exclusive license on that patent through 2011. There's a later patent, 6,526,440, listing Krishna Bharat as inventor, Google as the assignee. The latter patent appears to be a minor refinement, per the abstract:
"A search engine for searching a corpus improves the relevancy of the results by refining a standard relevancy score based on the interconnectivity of the initially returned set of documents. The search engine obtains an initial set of relevant documents by matching a user's search terms to an index of a corpus. A re-ranking component in the search engine then refines the initially returned document rankings so that documents that are frequently cited in the initial set of relevant documents are preferred over documents that are less frequently cited within the initial set."
Really? I've had my own smtp for 3 years and have yet to have a single mail bounced by anyone, including aol (where I correspond with one user quite frequently). Of course it helps to have a provider that will map your rDNS to your mail server's hostname. That's a major difference between comcast and a real ISP.
"Please explain how Microsoft is like a drug dealer!"...for asking such intriguing questions. With bait like that, the court is liable to be/.ed with friend of the court briefs.
I wouldn't presume they use any for their dns funtionality, but fact of the matter is Akamai does have a small proportion of windows servers in their distributed clusters. Seen 'em with my own eyes.
Compare it with banners ads sold on number of shows, clicks AND sales. The first are insanely high but also easily faked. Clicks are slightly more reliable but any advertiser is really intrestted in the number of sales generated.
Sure, any advertiser favors the instant gratification of a sale today, but they also recognize (or should) the need for repeated visual impressions, the payoff for which, in the case of some prospective sales, may be years down the road - I don't need a sprocket today, but I'll certainly by aware of your name when I am in the market for one.
What about the billions spent on road-side billboard advertising anually? Have you ever clicked through one? OTOH, what about that double-truck ad on pp. D28-29 of the Takealeaky Times - what percentage of the readership even happened to flip thru those pages?
About 15 to 20 percent of the registrations for the Philadelphia Inquirer turned out to be bogus.
It's higher than that. Just because the email addy functions, doesn't mean any of the other registration info is real. newaliases is ny friend. To be fair, the email for my Inquirer signup hasn't received any spam yet.
Irony upon irony - the slashdotted ad frame that IIS was failing on is responding again - with an ad for a free Secrets of the Linux Masters CD from Sys-Con Media.
Well, the cops can make drug trafficking charges stick when you sell a packet of backing soda or oregano to the friendly undercover narc, at least in most states. Then again, the criminal laws have generally been rewritten within recent years to make look-alike drugs count as the real thing. If the copyright laws don't have those kind of provisions yet, patience, they will.
Verizon has more unmanned facilities (at least at night) than you can shake a stick at. As a nocster for a regional ISP, I can tell you - when a circuit goes down at night, if the testing and troubleshooting w/ Vz requires access to a CO, fugetaboutit till daytime - you can escalate to hell and back, but ain't nothing happening (for emergencies, their on-call techs typically don't respond to pages). Compounding the problem, most of our other circuit providers have to use Vz for the last mile 'tail' circuit.
So the Supreme Court said that the first amendment guarantees the right of association in political parties. I don't see why Democrats or independents should have a right to vote for my Republican nominee. I am sure you would hate to see non-Democrats choose the Democrat nominee.
Parties!? I don't need no stinkin' parties! I'm an independent, you insensitive clod. %-) Just the same, I can render your argument moot; thanks to my freedom of association, I can swallow my pride and temporarily register Republican for the next primary, allowing me to help select a Republican nominee for you - no open primary needed.
The open primary system was flawed from the beginning because of this. The parties would actually direct their members to cross the party line and vote for a weaker candidate for the opposing party. (This is how the Socialist party hijacked the Democrat party, in fact.) This is not representative government, and it is not fair to have to put (R) next to a person nominated by Democrats.
In service of democracy, that's a feature, not a bug. Suppose I see a republican I like for Mayor and a Democrat I like for Congress. If they don't win their respective primaries, I'm precluded from voting for them in November (except as a no-chance write-in). That I am precluded from voting in the primary is disenfranchisement plain and simple. The existance of parties is secondary, a pragmatic means to provide organizational capabilities and efficiencies of scale to like-minded candidates. The US Constitution says nothing about electing parties into office. Democracy is best served by erring toward the direction of maximizing the voice of the public at every stage of the process. Justice Stevens agrees with me in his dissent.
that ruled against California's open primaries, leaving several other states with open primaries struggling to come up with some variant that will pass constitional muster. Wahington state's open primary was subsequently also thrown out, but by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
I've noticed one annoyence on the OSX version, maybe its a config issue, but clicking on a window (and gimp has many) only focuses it, you have to click again to actually draw/click a button.
Unless I misunderstood you comment, that's also true of PS and virtually all Mac apps going back to at least System 7 (and probably before). In fact that behaviour was long ago codified in Apple's published Human Interface Guidelines (haven't read the OSX HIG, but I did read the HIG volume of Inside Macintosh). Just the same, after working with Gimp on linux for about 6 months (just for a photography hobby and a few non-profit flyers), I ended up buying a used Mac and PS 7 about a year and a half ago - money well spent IMO.

That could be more amusing were it running on a hacked up old PS printer, say maybe an Apple LaserWriter or some such - call it a LaserWeber.

Actually, it 's especially easy to hide mysql from the Internet if it's on the same machine as your webserver; just put the following in /etc/my.conf:
We rest our case.

Statutory Invention Registration already exists at the USPTO with fees somewhat less than for a full-fledged patent.
