    Speaking of which, anyone know where I can get my hands on imake? I have some older code that uses an IMakefile instead of autoconf, and I can't find a copy of Imake anywhere.

  2. Is 75 millitons, or about 75kg.

    I thought we had that already!

    A mix CD is *NOT* infringement. That's an obvious case of Fair Use.

  4. Re:Fundamental technology on NTP Sues Six Major Tech Companies Over Wireless Email Patents · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Wasn't NTP's key patent ruled invalid, but the judge made RIM pay anyways?

    And it seems to me that the "email + wireless" patent would be invalid under KSR v. Teleflex

    $62,000 was 7.5 of the Gross????

    That means the trilogy only took in $826,000?

    They don't. I'll name names.

    I was at the Doubletree in Crystal City, VA (just outside DC). I used the "Print from your room" facility.

    My printout was on the BACK of printouts that included names, addresses, and phone numbers (no CC's though). I told the front desk that they might want to look into their paper recycling policy...

    Anyone remember the IBM "road warriors" commercial, where they're talking about Biometrics, and this one guy thinks it's "Bionics"?

    He makes the "bionic sound", and a guy reading the newspaper says, "It's more like [insert better 'bionic sound' here]".

    The guy with the newspaper is Lee Majors.

    Happened to me with a EVGA 6200LE card. At the time, I was looking on it as a blessing in disguise, because finding AGP cards is getting damn hard, so I could use it as an excuse to the wife for buying a new box. She went ballistic on me, and I wound up finding an XFX AGP 6200 card.
