And you couldn't setup mail filtering to only accept mail from certain IP addresses? It shouldn't be that hard to keep all email internal, even if that's spread out over offices around the world.
I'm writing a new book called Penguin.com, all about how you can find penguins online. The fact that the book, Penguin.com, and the website belonging to the publishing company shares the same name is purely coincidental. Regarding this, I have been quoted as saying, "I will make every effort to clarify the fact that my book, Penguin.com, and the website, Penguin.com, are not in any way associated with one another.
Sales in the horseless carriage market is declining due to this new-fangled device known as the "automatic mobility", or automobile. Horseless carriage manufacturers are crying foul as many features of their products are getting integrated into these new all-in-one devices.
How about a wonderful PDF file or other document which one can take to the PHB which explains exactly how *BSD would be a benefit? The article is a good one, but it doesn't offer any specifics, only some general guidelines. Is there a document available for those who want to *sell* OpenBSD to their (or another's) company?
You sure about that? One time, I added a note to the article on the M1 Abrams tank about reactive armor, and later that day I got a note from an army mechanic who stated that that particular modification had never actually been made.
Sorry about that, dude. I was just kidding when I wrote you that note. I've never been in the army, nor am I a mechanic... but I figured it would sound all nice and authoritative, so you'd believe me.
The point being that you can't be sure that it was an army tech, just as you can't be sure I didn't write the note as a joke.
Yeah? That's nothing! This one time, a guy tried to steal my space pen, so I reached into the closet and pulled out the semi-auto 9mm Glock. I pumped 15 rounds of hot searing brass (with red phosphor tracers) into the guy's chest... missed all his vital organs too! The bastard survived, even after he crashed through the window and got impaled through the midsection on the fence, but I sure miss that pen. Never did find where it landed.
Yes, consumer research has shown that people associate the amount of lather created with the extent to which the shampoo is cleaning your hair, so Clairol (for one) has patented the ratio of various surfactants (lauryl sulfate, laureth sulfate, etc) used in shampoos, thus giving them the exclusive rights to produce the most-lathering shampoo, even though it may not work the best.
I was under the impression that you couldn't patent a recipe, and that would seem to qualify even though it's not a food product.
Maybe you should read the settlement. It excludes:
"... anyone who resides in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, or United Kingdom"
Of course, this leaves the following countries which ARE eligible (according to their signup form, but exclude any countries which weren't available before 2004):
United States, Anguilla, Argentine, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Hong Kong, Iceland, India, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
Of course, Richard M. Stallman would add a clause to that license agreement since it's not free enough: "... we don't give a dern, so long as you also be providin them lyrics to all othern who be wantin to sing it too."
I assume the "no active relaying" prohibition means that someone can't have waypoint stations to pick up and rebroadcast the signal to the destination. So this leaves the competition open to passive relaying.
How well does the 2.4GHz spectrum interfere with power lines? Would it be possible to put up a structure so that it modulates the power signal which is then decoded on the other end in a similar setup? At the very least, it might win a "Most Creative Bending of the Rules" award or something.:)
Nissan.com is an example where a company called Nissan (not the car company) was forced to quit using the domain for commercial use, but didn't lose it, in what seems to be a case of "Well, it would cause confusion in the market place and they are bigger than you". Oh yea, the owner's name is Uzi Nissan, the owner of Nissan Computer Corp.
Of course, Nissan (the car company) only sued Nissan Computer Corp. after the guy started putting up automotive advertisements. As a result, the courts ruled that nissan.com couldn't be used for *any* commercial content. The guy shot himself in the foot with that one. Had he stuck to computer-related content, there wouldn't have been any issue.
Most of the time, a list of myths provides little more than an opportunity to trot out a consignment of straw men-- willful distortions of the opponent's arguments, to be hacked, burnt, and slashed at for the the audience's amusement.
Most of the time, a reply like that is little more than a collection of assertions -- statements which are not backed up by fact, to be read, modded up, and in the end provided for the audience's amusement.
Just south of the town's centre lies a huge complex of buildings which, despite its size, looks fairly unprepossessing, boring as only business parks in the suburbs can be.
Am I the only one who read that as unpreprocessing?
you have a dual purpose buss rolling along a rail route at, ummm, what, 80kmph? It weighs, what? 10 tons? 20 tons? Then right behind it is a kilometer long train full of, oh, I dunno - NAPTHA - that's roaring along at what?140kmph? ANd it weighs how many hundreds of tons? And takes how long to stop?
This idea of a dual purpose bus is dumb dumb dee dumb, dumb dee dumb dee dumb dee dumb.
So you've got this dual purpose airplane which carries passengers AND cargo flying through the air at what, 200mph? 300mph? It weighs what, 10 tons? 20 tons? And it flies right into an airport full of oh, I dunno... OTHER PLANES... that are also flying through the air at what? 200mph? And they weigh how many tons?
Oh my FUCKING GOD... why doesn't someone tell them to think up something intelligent like oh, I dunno... a schedule perhaps? Because they're too BLOODY STUPID to think that up on their own, and I'm SOOO clever for pointing out what is blindingly obvious to anybody else.
My name is Ralph Spolsport and I'm dumb dumb dee dumb, dumb dee dumb dee dumb dee dumb.
They've had vehicles equipped with this for decades on all the local train tracks. Typically it's a pickup truck used for railway maintenance. The only potential new thing is the use of this on non-maintenance vehicles as a means of long-distance consumer/commercial transportation.
A quick google search returned this page which looks about the same as what these dual-mode vehicles look like.

And do you know which "marketing" company this was?

I don't even know what the frick "push" means in that context...
I'm thinking he's referring to the employment of peristalsis.

Can't it be both? It's satirizing the elections by using a parody of the song.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

The good news is that "You can help Wikipedia by expanding it". So true!
Ah, that makes much more sense. Thanks for the explanation.
