Did that flying up to summer camp through SJC as a kid. I was about 13 ( this was back mid-70's), and my buddy and I were talking with the pilots. For some reason, we asked them if they carried their drivers licenses when they flew. Even now, thinking of that makes me smile.
I've patented: "A method for changing the state of illumination objects". Included is a switch and lightbulb example, but not meant to preclude any other mechanisms.
A 2.4cm drive has an area (just for this thought experiment) of (1.2 x 1.2)pi, or roughly,4.52 sq cm. now, a 10 inch drive (24cm) has an area of 45.2 sq cm.
Math error. 452 cm^2. Remember, you're squaring that 10.
This guy isn't a "prankster" and it isn't a "prank".
I've been on the receiving end of a midnight call from the police, and it's not pleasant. A neighbor thought he heard screams from our house, and called the cops. My wife and I were woken up from a sound sleep by the cops.
Luckily for me, nothing happened -- the police were satisfied it was a mistake, and left.
The victim here, however, got cuffed, etc.... I hope this asshat gets prison time, then he'll see how much fun such "pranks" are.
IANAPL (I am not a patent lawyer), but my understanding is that a patent is supposed to cover "how to do something", not "doing something".
In software, it's like the difference between requirements and design. Requirements is "what" -- the idea. Design is "how", the implementation. IIUC, patents are supposed to cover the "how" only.
- Distro that ships with the latest Britney Spears.mp3. (And the software to play it!)
What sort of sadist (or masochist, depending...) would create a distro like that?
I've always said that if Joseph Fourier knew that his work would eventually lead to Britney Spears CDs, he'd have burned his notes and joined a monastery.

They use pseudoephedrine to make crystal meth. Therefore anyone who wants Claritin D or Sudafed (original, not the bogus PE type) is a meth-head.
Don't know about Linus, but if Tove Torvalds did that, I'd stop, because I know she could kick my ass.
I didn't realize that the Black Death was a flu pandemic.
Doesn't matter.... All I have to do is be able to outrun *you*.

Really? I think you're off by a factor of 10.
General Relativity was expounded in 1916.
Eddington's observations of light bending were done in 1919.
Seems to me that only 3 years elapsed between GR and experimental confirmation of GR.
I hate self-replies, but the typo...

I'm deadly serious. And don't call me Shirley.
Yes, now I remember. I had lasagna.
I thought it was the stars. As in his biopic...
"I Aim for the Stars" (but sometimes hit London).
He's a US-ian who didn't realize that you Euro guys use '.' for the thousands separator and ',' for the decimal point.
Come on... it's only illegal if "ordinary people" do it. If $BIG_CORP does it, it's a patriotic act to catch those Evil Content Pirates(tm).

No, I meant what I said.
Because if it isn't taken down, then those dead composers won't have any incentive to compose more music.
