Something tells me that Canada's 1970 vintage Leopard I tanks won't last long against a squadron of M1A1 Abrams. Hmmm.. wait.. all those IED in Iraq aren't coming from Iraq's 1960 vintage Russian tanks. How's that working out so far for everyone ?
The version of PGPDisk I used was not supported once WinXP came out. As there was no upgrade path and I wasn't going to buy the software again just to get a newer version, I switched to Dekart Private Disk Light. Free version available at www.dekart.com
From what I've read, it actually depends on what country you are living in. In the USA, a patent basically blocks even personal use. Actually getting caught is another matter. In much of the rest of the world you can practice what's taught in a patent for educational purposes and scientific investigation.
The people you know who buy new printers just to get the cartridges have obviously not noticed that those cartridges are only partially full. They get tagged as "demo cartridge" or "starter cartridges" IIRC.
Ummm... prior to 1994 patents were good for 17 years from date of grant. After that it became 20 years from date of filing. So your November 1990 patent would still have 3 or 4 more years to run.
If its anything like DirecWay's existing satellite service, you're going to need a 2 ft diameter dish and a licenced technician to point it for you from a permanently mounted installation. Not much use for your requirments, is it ?
If you are accident prone like me, buy a ThinkPad. My old T21 took three glasses of red wine (twice on airplanes, once at home) poured into the keyboard with almost no ill effect once I tilted it over and drained the results. A couple of the keys got a little sticky for a while but the laptop kept working. If you dissassemble the thing you see why - IBM did a masterful job of building the keyboard in its owne tray - effectively sealing it from the electronics below !
What ??? A group of Poles ??? I saw the movie and its very clear that a tight group of Americans in a submarine stole the Enigma machine. Even though it was really an English sub during WWII that did it.. the movie is a much better version. Who wants to believe that the Brits could do that.. much better to see an all American crew pull it off....
Hey.. I wrote more than my share of 1802 code the hard way too. But then its kind of like plowing a field with an ox & plow in the age of tractors. 10 points for trying but why would you attempt it in the first place ?
I think the point is that you will shortly be seeing this term in every Best Buy, Computer City and local computer store flyer for the next five years.
I'm already sick of it and its been only 15 minutes.
While I liked the CD's that came with the magazine, I could not help but gag on the letters to the editor section. Almost all of the consisted of the message "MicroSoft sucks, Linux rules". That gets old pretty fast.
Yes - they had a damm fine C compiler. No credit to them though - they bought out a product called Wizard C. As some of us may recall, Wizard C won the Dr. Dobbs C compiler contests several years in a row.
ummmm... how can you lose market share in a market where you are the only player ???... if they come back in 6 months they will still have 100% market share... althought the market may be smaller for a while
Well.. the bootlegging they did was from Canada to the United States.. technically they were/are a Canadian company and making liquor was not illegal in Canada at the time.
Interesting parrallel..copyright laws are probably different somewhere in the world just like liquor laws were back then.

They can tell - take a look at this. They don't need to come into you house.

next time I'll cut and paste all the useless data I can from Google.com so that I get the score of 2 rather than the person who follows up ...

Last time I looked Skipjack was also a nuclear submarine ....
No can do, eh ? With the new US tarrif that ole fir ain't worth much anymore ....
Would that be a patent or a copyright ? There is a difference, you know.
AFAIK ,, you can specify the kernal to use in your lilo.conf file.
.. there)
Try man lilo.conf

The last time I was asked that was by an engineering manager. I replied "I think I would like to have your job". Three years later, I did.

a "commercially-funded competitor" .. like maybe Micro$oft Money ???
the line printer song in the "Mythical Man Month" ?? .. or was that "Soul of a New Machine" ?
On a good day I'm a moron. You on the other hand are a rude jerk.
And if its not illegal in the country in which you are doing business then its not illegal.
