i disagree with the nature of this patent. it's a way of handling data from a physical device, not the device itself. if they came up with a new touch screen technology and patented it, that would be better.
and i sort of agree with you, the apple fanboyism is clouding something, although i don't think that something is me;)
those both sound like fads, although i'm guessing you looked into other things too if you've switched. good job on the excercising! walking to school has helped me a lot (not weight loss, just feeling better. i'm at a pretty good weight level).
in general i try to eat healthy food and avoid eating too much. it has worked so far, i'm thinking the prevention vs. cure thing will help me out.
from what i had read here earlier, i got the idea that the u.s. was trying to discourage other nations from starting breeder reactors to limit proliferation of weapons grade fuel. if the u.s. starts their own breeder reactor, it will be much more difficult to discourage other countries from doing so
and, oddly enough, coal plants release more radiation in their operating vicinity than nuclear plants, due to the bits of radioactive material in the mined coal that are not filtered for.
well the shipping is expensive and leaves the possibility of accidents during transport. nations other than the u.s. will probably start building their own breeder reactors too.
a very important thing is to decide how much power you really need, and honestly how long you think it will be before you buy a new computer. i bought the cheapest athlon64 i could find (a 2800 oem) last summer, and it is still serving me well. in fact, it's more than enough power for everything i do (which isn't much. web surfing, programming (text editor, apache/php, bash, and firefox are my tools), watching movies, and playing starcraft through wine). once you decide how much power you need (most new cpus, even the cheap ones, are overkill for me) then look at what your options are in that range and buy based on the other factors. this would be total cost: the chip, cooling, compatible memory, compatible motherboards. another factor is upgradability, some sockets are more likely to be around for a while. although upgrading a processor is less common than upgrading cards, drives, and memory, so upgradability is more of a motherboard thing, but processor socket does play a part.
people will think they can get away with it no matter how strict the rule is. it's being enforced by a person, it can't be perfectly implemented. someone will still get away with it even under a zero tolerance policy (which, imo, provides too little chance to learn from mistakes).

you can definitely destroy it while it's in someone's arm. collateral (sp?) damage is the only problem.
it's saying that only whole and half number values affect the program
i think montag had a great job, despite the obvious problems some people have with it.
oh yeah maybe. i don't wear headphones for nearly that long anymore
i used to though
the world would be much better off without television. you wouldn't be sitting on the couch, you'd be doing something.
you get used to it. i have a pair of sr80s and recommend them (are they really different from the 60s? good phones either way)

usually people here are more uptight about patents, but when apple does it...
this is the first time i wish i still moderated :)
hey, that is interesting. congrats and keep it up to you too
thermite is also an option, and more economical if you don't do it all that often.
and i don't think the petabox is redundant at the hard disk level
your mind's storage density is greater than paper

i think that also has something to do with solubility (the oil/vinegar/water)
or we could just plant more plants/trees/shrubs/etc. to convert the CO2 back into O2. they also look nice

the summary makes it clear that he's finding out professors from either side who presents one sided arguments in the classroom

i try not to get involved in mantras, i am only concerned with the number abuse going on in apple's marketing department.
please, somebody, think of the poor numbers!
oh idk if i passed, i don't know it all that well. thanks for the explanation though
nicely done. tell them anything on why this is a good idea other than avoiding punishment?
