source navigator still works OK. doxygen can provide reasonable callgraphs (especially for C). DXR has improved dramatically recently---it's not just for Mozilla now. DXR requires the code to be compilable by clang, but doing whatever's necessary for that might be a useful exercise.
There are resources for inventors. The USPTO has a page. There are startup incubators. There's Kickstarter. And then there's a bunch of slimeball "invention brokers", with success rates somewhere below 0.1%. These clowns are in that category.
Here's my idea: run two sites, the first one's like this (previously unknown to me) quirky, a good way to get candidate ideas some of which would be profitable (but as noted, a horribly ineffective way of actually doing anything with the contributed ideas), and another much more like Bennett's which can effectively filter and exploit the ideas. Then feed the latter from the former, and (with any luck) get profitable products which can then be sold. Or maybe just sell the ideas/patents (along with the list of interested customers) to third party manufacturers (or some combination).
Obviously it would be bad if people at the quirky-like site knew about the other one, so I'd want to keep it quiet (and probably vice versa). Maybe have it only operating in a foreign language in a foreign country (perhaps more than one).
(I'm not suggesting this is how quirky (or any other site) works. Seems likely they started with what seemed like a good idea and for some reason haven't been able to make it actually good (Bennett's analysis seems sound to me, what they're doing seems ineffective). And they don't care yet because they're getting press (apparently, anyway) and perhaps VC. Or maybe it's basically a hobby, or makes enough from selling the rejected ideas back to the proposers, or something else I just haven't thought of.)
Presumably the price is just the predictable "let's see who wants it before Christmas" price, though. They surely don't expect many sales at that price.
Quite. So to buy/use one of these ebooks in this "open" format I need Adobe Digital Editions, available only on Windows or Mac. There are surely worse formats, but this one doesn't seem especially free software friendly.
The story suggests the article appeared "in all the news groups on the AT&T/SBC News Server". It also appeared throughout the world, due to a typo: "Distributrion: internal".
Back when I did a maths degree in the UK, and probably now, A-level syllabuses varied wildly in what they covered. And students may (as I did) have taken two maths A-levels rather than just the one. So some students might well simply not have encountered any basic statistics, or might have inadequate knowledge of geometry, etc.
Hence the remedial tests and classes. It's not an examination, as such; it's just to see which students might benefit from having bits of the basic knowledge filled in, so only they need to sit through what would be exceedingly boring classes for people who've already covered the basic stuff.
The reasonable priced one is GBP23-GBP29 per month (depending on ISP), with a once-off charge of GBP50 (or an installation cost of GBP250, IIRC, if you want an engineer to plug stuff in) and it's 500K/250K with contention ratio 50:1.
So yes, it's better than a modem, but you're still not going to be watching films over it.
Cable seems to be fairly similar (a bit cheaper, perhaps), and has, of course, been available quite a bit longer.
Source Navigator also produces databases (documented) which, with simple scripts, you can process in various ways, for example to feed to graphviz tools (also free) to produce pictures, http://www.graphviz.org/
Don't forget the multiple Windows 95s. I have one of the early (95A) versions. I couldn't use a K6 faster than about 330MHz with it (there's a patch for 95B or later fixing the dumb bug, but not for 95A). Discworld Noir apparently won't install (it uses a function added subsequently). USB can only be added to 95B or later. I'm not sure about AGP, but I'm not risking it.

ctwm and vtwm had features similar, and I doubt that
they were the first window managers so to do. fvwm
just seems old to youngsters.
Also Aegis

Ungoed-Thomas has had a few mentions in NTK, too. Try a search on his (or her) name.
That is not consistent with the the sorts of things RHAT has been releasing, though.
No, it isn't. It wasn't that long ago that RedHat stopped selling Motif.
Did you have journaling enabled? If so, please try and report as much information as possible to the reiserfs mailing list.
Yes, that's what I thought too. It's not bad, though, but not one of his best. (I thought it was better than "Permutation City", for example.)
TLS (the IETF standard), the slightly modified SSL, does have non-proprietary algorithms. More, it requires implementations to support DSS.
Good luck in getting a DSS certificate from a CA, however, and you may need to wait a while until browsers reliably support non-RSA keys.
All in all, it's probably best to pay up for RSA until next September, when the patent expires anyway, IIRC.

How does the book compare with the standard Tcl/Tk book, Practical Programming in Tcl/Tk (2nd edition)?
