the napster decision cannot have "foreclosed" anything that napster wasn't accused of. the napster decision said you cannot _facilitate_ illegal downloading by providing a server that lets people download from each other.
What you miss is that they *are* using SI units. A hectar is 100mx100m = 0.01km^2 and so on.
100m is not an "SI unit." neither is a centisquarekilometer. they are at least arguably metric though
How are you going to argue that a 500g pound or a 30cm foot are, though? and even if they are, what's the point then of denying them while claiming how great the metric system is?
I can't remember buying anything that was not metric and honestly the english system seems just wrong - the numbers never fit. A pint of milk? WTF?
If a pint isn't enough for you than buy a goddamn quart! at 946ml it should be just about a perfect fit for your liter-buying excessiveness, and it's much more readily available than by the pint.
but, seriously, the only context i've ever heard of milk by the pint is back in the days when it was delivered fresh every day. most americans buy by the quart, half-gallon, or gallon. [well, that and single-serving containers of one american pint]
this isn't the kind of thing microsoft should be disqualifying based on if they're going to make the argument that using wine implies lack of a legitimate copy of windows.
Even if it does validate itself, it would be saying "Hey, even though i'm WINE, this is a valid installation with activation code 0xNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN and cd key #NNNNN-NNNNN-NNNNN-NNNNN-NNNNN" windows update will stop listening at "i'm WINE"
why not just use the two pieces of toast, with the buttered side stuck to each other - we could even skip the toasting stage, and substitute peanut butter...
shyguy and snifit [the latter are the gas-mask ball shooters you refer to] appear in mario 64 and mario rpg. the cactus [whose name i forget] appears in mario world and mario 64.
but the ebay database servers aren't open to direct bids - they could easily set the increment to $0.01 - then the winner of an auction pays exactly one cent over the second place bidder's maximum bid. this can be done in n-log-n time with a sorting algorithm on all the bids.
No - the proxy is obsessed with nice round numbers and prefers to bid a multiple of 50 if possible, so if you raise the amount he's allowed to bid from $125 to $150 he'll bid $150 against the $125 already bid without anyone else bidding so much as $125.01.
did you even read the SUMMARY? this is saying that the proxy increased the bid _without_ any outbid, and that's what eBay is accused of doing.
Apparently they would rather have Human Rights set by mass murders, tyrannical dictators and your garden variety banana republic rather than the United States.
wait - until the last part of that sentence i thought you meant the US...
There's even prior art for a single-operator called "IsNot" in Visual Basic if 5 year old Usenet postings to Microsoft's public newsgroups requesting new features for the language count as "publication".
I think you've discovered the problem - Microsoft doesn't understand what a patent is - they think it's like a copyright - something that starts when they actually write the thing, and something they get whether or not someone else had something similar

what exactly does "de-tune" mean? remove the channel numbers from the autoprogram list?
IIRC "computer software" counts as a market for trademark infringement purposes.
sure, it's legal, and it's moral... but is it cool? I think not

I read it as being the output [at whatever amount of power depending on how many cells you have] is at 110VDC.
what's EVOH? i thought soda bottles were just PET
none of which establishes your apparent claim that we have no right [of any name] to copy public-domain work
"You could download that album via P2P and RIAA wouldn't have a leg to stand on against you, if you already owned the release."
That is not correct. RIAA v. Napster.
They sued Napster for downloading stuff they already had vinyl copies of?
wow
news to me

then why is this fact denied by every pro-metric *american* i ever talk to?
we did manage to goad them into breaking their taboo against telling us, though
why is it then pro-metric americans i talk to deny that anyone in metric countries use anything but kilograms when i try to cite these?
who are you replying to? you should quote - apparently slashdot deleted the comment you're replying to

The windwaker logo i find on google images looks nothing like this - can someone please link the logo everyone else is talking about?
I thought it was the signature on the charge-slip that proves you agreed, and the one on the back of the card proves your identity
what's the point of making you sign the receipt [and/or touchscreen] if your signature on the card already proves you agreed?

the parent post probably thinks that you can't be a spam relay without listening on port 25 - which a mac os x user account can't do.
Browse at a lower level; the post I was replying to contradicted Frymaster.
