If your close relative is such a potential patent shredder, then why wouldn't he hire himself out for a $100-200 million now and destroy this patent on behalf of the banks? Don't you think the banks would pay that much right now?
Since Google already has all of their squatter domains established, they won't be bothered by the five day rule. And now they won't have to share that pot of ad revenue with a bigger group of people.
...it's almost a badge of honor to have a Web site name that only hints at what the user will find there...
The only reason companies resort to those names is because (a) all the good ones are taken and/or (b) there are potential trademark infringement issues with using more common sounding names.
Back up what statement? You're entering the US from a foreign country. Say, they find you suspicious, for whatever reason, and decide to perform a more thorough inspection of you and whatever you are bringing with you. During this inspection they find a sealed envelope in your luggage. Do you really believe that when this happens, the inspector just says, "Oh, this is sealed. I can't look inside."
So, if it's not used like "Open Source", then it's a hijacking of the term? Come on. That's a pretty big stretch.
My understanding is that this program allows SMB's to become license-compliant while limiting their initial capital outlay, i.e., more pay as you go than all up front.
I really fail to understand why this CNet blogger has a bug up his butt over this.
What are the licensing requirements for a Private Investigator?
The general requirements for a Private Investigator are:
* Be at least 18 years old.
* Three years of compensated experience totaling not less than 6,000 hours in investigative work, while employed by law enforcement agencies, collection agencies, insurance agencies, banks, courts, and other private investigation agencies, etc.
* A college degree in criminal law, criminal justice or police science can be substituted for part of the experience.
* Pass a written exam.
* Undergo a criminal history review.
If it's fake, he should get his money back, but damages? What was damaged? His fantasy of pretending he's Data while playing poker with somebody in a Whorf costume? Or was it his hope to resell the visor for a ton more movney on eBay once it was signed by Spiner?
Perl 5.8 does everything I need it to. There are other languages I use when Perl doesn't do what I need it to. I don't need one language for all of my needs.
I view Perl 6 as an continued employment mechanism for those who write books about Perl and teach Perl to others.
My experience with small/medium businesses has been that the CEO/CFO don't want to spend the bucks necessary to get everybody legal and the poor IT guy gets stuck having to ignore the problem or find a new job. To the defense of C-level guys, I did work for one 1000-person company that had a very ethical CFO who insisted on being compliant. The exception that proves the rule, I guess.

I have a feeling there'll be a decided lack of bikinis in this "sport" too.
yes, thank you

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Exactly! My 5-yr old loves Disney Toontown. And it does require some abstract reasoning & puzzle solving.
BMW and Porsche have done the same thing in the past and I expect that other automakers have as well.
And I like to make sure my lightning rod stays well-oiled, if you get my drift.
They dig knowing how to carry a conversation and how to make eye contact (i.e., not staring at their breasts) a whole lot more.

Um, upon entering the country, they can open a sealed letter in your possession and read the contents already.
A. You can decrypt the data
B. You can go back where you came from

No, I haven't. I have this thing called a Real Life.
I agree that he'd be entitled to punitive damages if this were a scam, but I find it hard to fathom that Christie's would knowingly commit fraud.

I longer words, if you are prepared to devote vast amounts of your time and effort then there is a very slim chance of your success.
You really need to get out more often. Really.

Affidavit + subpoena. At least in the US.
