Cerulean studios actually *sent* the GAIM folk the protocol. This is a good example of how Yahoo is actually fostering a good relationship between "competing" clients.
Yahoo! has nothing to do with Cerulean Studios or GAIM. The cooperation between these "competing" IM clients was fostered between those two parties. Yahoo! itself isn't fostering anything.
Dr Roger Leng of the University of Warwick agrees that "the law has no problems treating the intangible as valuable".
All I know is that I'd be very upset if the cops didn't have time to look for my stolen car because they were busy surfing eBay trying to locate someone's stolen +4STR Sword of Whoop-de-Doo.
...students come up with an idea for a record album, cover art, and lyrics only to be told by teachers that the album is already available for download for free.
Wow. The album is available for download before it's even been created. Piracy must be more out-of-hand than I had imagined.
This gets more amusing each day. It's like watching a bratty child try to argue against something they have little knowledge about.
HP: "We're offering indemnity to our customers who..."
SCO: "Ha! So you admit that your customers need indemnity!"
HP: "No, we're saying that should a lawsuit arise..."
SCO: "Haha! So you believe there should be lawsuits against Linux users!"
HP: "No, listen. We're saying that your claims..."

"A person who came to their Web site and looked at the way (the hotel) is promoted and marketed would think they were passing themselves off as connected with the owner of the Dewey Decimal Classification system."
Don't you think that a person browsing the website might just think "Oh, they're a theme hotel"?
On the other hand, if libraries have to license it, then I guess that's how it works.
Sure, that's where you enter your PIN number -- Personal Identification Number Number.

Emacs... I can't imagine that it'd take a lot of supporting code to do that.
I'm pretty sure the Emacs-on-a-PDA-support code is already in Emacs somewhere, if you look hard enough. You'll likely also find code to control nuclear reactors, and code to forecast complex weather patterns.
The new FCC rules were championed by FCC Chairman Michael K. Powell, who argued that consolidation was less a threat now than when the rules were enacted because consumers have many more choices for their news and entertainment.
Sure, there's ClearChannel-Affiliate-1, ClearChannel-Affiliate-2, ClearChannel-Affiliate-3... Really, is there that much more choice out there? Internet broadcasting, maybe, but the folks who run their own stations are still being harassed by the tax-hungry powers-that-be.
Americans in general, are more agressive, will speak up, and give feedback more than a person from another culture.
Clearly, you haven't worked with many Eastern Eurpoean individuals. Specifically, I've found that Russians and Polish developers are far quicker to voice their opinions. Americans, from my experience, seem to calculate the political implications of their statements far more, especially considering the technological economy these days.
"A good American programmer will push back and say, What you're asking for doesn't make sense, you idiot," Zupnick says. "Indian programmers have been known to say, This doesn't make sense, but this is the way the client wants it."
What a bad comparison: compare a "good" local worker to a generic "bad" offshore worker, rather than comparing good-good or bad-bad. I look around and see plenty of local programmers who adopt the "build-to-specs-regardless" stance without hesitation. Similarly, many of the projects here that involve overseas development involve far more communications meetings to work out the details prior to building applications.
There is no shortage of poor programmers here. Blanket statements like the above only steer people toward looking for poor qualities in foreign developers, while ignoring those around them.
One such option would move the data to the Web page itself, rather than pulling it from an external source. To answer complaints that such a method would weigh down pages with heavy data loads, Microsoft proposed shifting that data to a separate frame.
How does this reduce page size? Now, instead of downloading 1 page of X bytes, I'm downloading 2 "pages" of (X - Y) and Y bytes. Fine and dandy, I don't have to dowlonad the frame in certain circumstances -- for instance, if I don't have Flash installed. But the article mentions this as a workaround to an "ungainly dialog box". Without prompting me if I want to load the frame or not, how do they plan to do this and remain free from any "automated interactive experience" that Eolas has supposedly patented?

Macro recorder, native PDF, and Flash? If I wasn't so grumpy about downloading OO.o 1.0 just a few weeks ago, I'd jump right on it.
Apart from the sluggish startup, I've been nothing but impressed by OpenOffice.
make sure you can't disable it
I think that crosses the line from "UI testing" to "hardware durability" testing.

I guess we would see the 800Mhz and 1 GHz Via C3 chips to start
While not the full specs, the screenshot page says...
The secret of Nano-ITX is the Nano-BGA (Ball Grid Array) package, which has allowed VIA to squeeze a 1Ghz C3 CPU into just 15mm square.
So, yep.

A provincial election is coming up in Ontario...
Yep, as an Ontarian I watched it too. Amusing to say the least. Always good to see how they dodge the questions.

Ahhh, space 36-24-36. The perfect space.
Well, it is called Access after all.

I'm still awaiting scientific analysis of the "he who smelt it dealt it" rule.
Since you asked for one:
Microsoft issues patch for security flaw in NT4.0 after six-week waitYou'll find many other examples via Google. But you probably already knew that.
You mean when Microsoft publicly discloses the exploit, usually weeks after it was first reported across the Internet?

According to this article, DCC stands for Digital Content Creation.
That's funny, I thought nVidia was "optimzed" for 3DMark2003.
