IANAL, but it seems to me that this is the way the law should work. A Judge does not necessarily rule in a particular way because it is right. He/She can do so, so that the case can proceed to the next level for judgment by a court with greater authority/skill/knowledge. Whether the parties take it to the next level is a matter largely for their wallets to decide - in this case, thankfully there were people ready to argue the case for free at that higher court.
Sorry, but fair and accurate rulings should *NOT* be based on wallet size at any point in the justice system. That's just plain wrong.
I'm not saying your wrong here, but a warning flag to be skeptical comes up when it is suggested that an autonomous robot is a cheaper way to get a temperature than a thermometer on the end of a cable, or a thermometer hooked to a radio transmitter. Feel free to let me know what I am missing that makes high pressure autonomous robots cheaper. Just a guess, but... Not having a rather large ship with a full crew dropping and reeling in 9000 feet of cable all across the ocean for a year might save a couple dollars...
And that's how you learn, like kids are supposed to, and most of us did. The kid who never burns the roof of his mouth while young enough to have rapid cell regrowth in his mouth and sensitive pain receptors is the one who'll end up suing Taco Bell (remember, in the future, all fast food restaurants are Taco Bells) for getting a second degree burn, because he didn't test the temperature and respect the heat before drinking.
Sorry, no, I don't think protecting people from common sense is a good thing, no matter how many burns it prevents. Very true, i never even thought of a lawsuit for something so trivial, i just learned to check the heat first.:) (well thats what I tried to do the first time, but i got a little too much so i found out the harder way) However it works out though, you should just learn from the experience, not profit from foolish actions...
That plainly means that the lights must be indoors only, or outdoors only. Stringing them through a doorway so that they are both indoors and outdoors is dangerous. The opening and closing of the door may cause the wiring to fray, leading to possible fire or electrocution hazard. Don't forget that you cannot use them ON a door! However breaking thru to the inside of a door, hollowing it out if it is not already hollow, then putting the lights inside is just fine.:)
Indeed. And a number of articles on the case have pointed out that McDonald's also served hot chocolate at the same scalding temperature as their coffee. Hot chocolate is mostly drunk by children. McDonald's management knew this, had reports of injuries from both the coffee and the hot chocolate, but failed to lower the temperature. Endangering children like this is a level of irresponsibility that's a bit much for even the most rabid Social Darwinists. YES! They did serve the hot chocolate at the same scalding temperature, I learned this pretty quickly as a kid. I never got a bad burn but i did burn the roof of my mouth a bit more than once, it was not a pleasant experience.
i've got Doom, Doom2, Quake, and alot of other older and somewhat newer games working great under dosbox, Quake needs alot of power, i had to set dosbox up to 80,000 cycles, but it runs just fine, in a window or full screen.. if something doesn't work browse thru the dosbox.conf and play with some settings, most things seem to run pretty well for me....
you could use clay or whatever to make it, and use that to make a temp copy you could use with a key grinder.. yes you still need the key for a few, the point was you didn't need it for a long time
My wife made avatars for a little while for a chat site she was using, she hosted them and let people download them to use, however she did stipulate they had to find their own host. So i made a nice little cgi script that displayed the images on the site, and if the referrer was anything but that site, the image was changed to some guy with his finger in his nose, and a caption that said "i couldn't pick a site to host my avatar, so i decided to pick my nose instead".. people who tried to directly link to the images would see the cached version from their browser, but everyone else would see the alternate image and start laughing until they did a full refresh:)
That sounds good to me, and perhaps being required to pay a deposit that has been returned before you are allowed to file another patent if an approved patent is dismissed in court, which could help alot with the huge number of approved useless patents we are seeing...
Ok, i wrote a few programs in Borland Pascal 12, wayyyy back when... and there was a nice IDE environment that highlighted strings keywords and NUMBERS, and this nice feature to turn it off if i wanted, and i could even change the colors each type of item was hightlighted in... WOW!!!
this is not new, this is not unique, this is not something special, and it damn well is not something that should be patented..
Super fine particles could cause health hazards similar to asbestos, or may do nothing at all. That leaves some room for concern as to how much testing goes into products before they are released and mass produced...
Any what if I do use Nintendo's actual artwork? That would be copyright infringement, which is drastically different than using the term "copyright infringement" to denote the act of the unauthorized copying and distribution of an entire piece of work.
so if the credits are not copied in the distributed movie its not as bad, since they didn't copy all of it?
Indeed, even if they built their executable on the very computer the official binary was produced on, by executing the exact same commands as those used to produce the official binary, straight after the official binary was made, their binary's MD5 might well not match the official one, since many systems include the build time in their object files...
Of course you could do an MD5 check on the SOURCE before you compile to make sure it is an official release...
i had a 1984 cadillac seville that had a real time mpg display, along with an estimated total distance with remaining fuel based on average mpg for that trip...
Yeah, i don't see why you couldn't put buttons on this thing. If its too small for buttons, its too small to hold on to... having it be flexible so it won't break when you sit down with it in your pocket might be nice, but there's no need to eliminate buttons alltogether just because its possible.

care they most??
really??
It's not just the summary, that's on whitehouse.gov...

how about, "hey we're going to make a CD, instead of cash, you each get a % of the sales" and the orchestra can decide if it'll work

umm... press the key into some wax, you now have a template for your copy

Carbon nanotubes can act as a superconductor at room temperature, rather than needing to be cooled to extremes.
Super fine particles could cause health hazards similar to asbestos, or may do nothing at all. That leaves some room for concern as to how much testing goes into products before they are released and mass produced...
OT but
i believe that was "POWER EXTREME" with a nice echo.. and YES i wish i did not know this.

I don't see any banner/pop up ads, i don't think its about Mike getting paid
not that i don't believe there were no ill effects, but how would you tell if a pig is senile? they forget eachothers names or something?
