Someone, somewhere, which we can't locate, has put up something in the ISM band we can't identify which produces an observed signal strength at a range of ten plus miles that is equal to the signal strength observed *six feet* from a multipoint sector antenna amped to the legal maximum.
It seems like that sort of situation is what the FCC is for. If someone is illegally saturating public airwaves, they are supposed to put a stop to it. If you spin it as a form of terrorism, you might get a quicker response.;)
The RFID tags in each and every one of our Cheetos are for quality assurance purposes only. The rumors about their barbed surfaces being intended to lodge in the colon are completely unfounded.
There is no such implication in short-selling stock.
When you short a stock, you are in effect borrowing shares from a shareholder and selling them. If the stock price goes up, you have to make up the difference to the shareholder you borrowed from. If the stock completely tanks, it's unlikely the shareholder will want the now worthless stock and you walk away with a nice profit.
Competitors will often review the claims of an issued patent to determine how to make a competing product that does not infringe the patent, referred to as "designing around" a patent. In this case, the initial claims of the original patent may not be effective in maintaining the monopoly power of the patentee regarding the invention. By filing additional continuation applications whenever an existing patent application is to issue as a patent or whenever the prosecution of an existing patent application is to be terminated, an applicant can make sure that a continuation patent application claiming priority from the original application is always pending. Then, if a competing product is ever produced, the claims of the pending continuation application can be amended, or another continuation application can be filed, so that the claims clearly cover the competing product, ensuring that the product will infringe the new claims.
Here's how Syndia (and others) are able to keep their patents "on-hold" for an indefinite period until they see an opportunity to bash a company over the head with it.
One somewhat sneaky but perfectly acceptable way of using continuation applications is to make sure that the disclosure of an original patent application is always pending. Because an unlimited number of continuation applications may be filed, the only requirement being that at least one application in the chain of continuation applications is still pending, it is possible to keep a chain of patent applications alive for a long period of time. This is useful when a technology field is crowded and there are several competitors, and when it's not really certain exactly what the competitor will try to bring to market.
Movable type on a press is best left to mechanical fields. Plus you have the problem of the learning curve - how much will it take people to figure out how to properly use whatever technology you require of them? Remember, it doesn't matter if you think it's easy - if it gives them any kind of trouble, you're going to have to take time away from what you're supposed to be teaching to help with with the technology.
I say, leave technology out of English. Time would be better spent teaching the way that it has worked for hundreds of years - without the computer. Sure, printing presses can aid those with good type setting skills in getting a paper done faster, but they far and away are useless in such courses as a teaching aid. If it were an engineering course, I would say differently - the world has changed much through the transition from cuniform to inked quills to illumination. But leave English out of it.
Thanks for the karma, but I was being a little sarcastic. Since no one is calling me on it, I'll do it myself.
Giving an elite few the ability to moderate posts on the basis of favoritism barely works on Slashdot, let alone a high school classroom.
Imagine the resentment that could be generated towards the class mods for weighted moderation.
Imagine the abuse of power that a mod could use against a classmate they didn't like.
Teachers have favored students, no question. But giving mod points on that basis would undermine at least the illusion of fairness.
I think the only reason Slashdot works at all is the relative anonymity of the posters. Most moderation here seems to be on the basis of the posts alone.
If you use Slashcode in the classroom
, give everyone a mod point per topic. I think it will save you a lot of headache later.
If anyone thinks this is some sort of commentary about our beloved Slashdot , you might be right. I'm only a little bitter about never getting any mod points myself.

Given Amazon's track record I suggest you developers check the license daily.

Here in California, Pacific Bell was using similar tactics.
I think the only thing that has made them behave better is the competition from cable providers.
I wish you luck there.
Bitching about poor service doesn't hit a company nearly as hard as taking your business elsewhere.
Must have been the piggy spam graphic. Could be the beer as well.
The $2,960 is to get support with it.
It's not like there's anything free out there that does this.
Do I buy a $3000 G5, or a dozen 2Ghz Athlons loaded with ClusterKnoppix?

For that matter, I think Meg Ryan would have been great as that psychic chick in the milk jacuzzi.
I wonder how much of that blocked spam came from MSN and Hotmail outboxes?

How many people will be shorting SCO stock tomorrow morning?
I've been maxed out on karma since 3 days after starting my account, but I really meant to post the addendum anonymously.

Post an essay topic, let the kids review the submissions with mod points given to your favorite students. Just like Slashdot.
What I want to see is the list amended to include the iron that agencies like the FBI, CIA, NSA, and less well known acronyms are using.
I doubt it can beat this one in the quarter mile.

I think this might be what Sen Hatch has in mind for copyright violators.
I think it should be called a brownlist.
I'm all for decaf. At least for my co-workers.
