You are right,if you had a army of lawyers to prove you are first to start/finish the invention.
Think of Nylon = NewYork + London.
Do you know about automobile patent story?
Do you know the recent MS/Eolas story?
Do you know about provisional patent applications?
>the USPTO should reject your patent
we are taking here about patent application. remember.
10 years to prove you are first to start... another 10 years to prove you are first to finish.
It is the patent application only. NOT the granted patent.
Think you are the only ONE who is working for a great idea and you are all most done to 80% and to complete the remining 20% you need another good 24 months. Beeing in this situvation you applied for the patent and USPTO publishes it.
Seeing this great idea a big corporate deploys 200 people and completes your patentable idea and presents to USPTO.
Now tell me, do you want have this featue of "not to pblish" from USPTO or not?
you can keep any junk/great system but the outcome of the system will be directly proportional to the junk/great people working for the system.
62,000 miles elevator on a planet of ~8000 miles diameter.
To be realistic we can't use the total diameter of earth as a base for the elevator... so let us take 1/4 of the diameter(this also in my view is not a possible figure!) i.e 2000 miles. the ratio between the base to the column(elevator hight) is 1:31 !!
To feel this, let us imagine a 31 feet hight column on a one feet base.... think of wild atmosphere/space.
at the center of the earth the speed is zero, as you move to periphery the speed increases and it is ~1000 miles/hr on the outer side of the earth. Now come to our case, the periphery has bee increased to 62000 miles... what will be speed at the periphery now?!! a column constructed with 1:31 ratio of base to hight will be able to withstand the peripheral speed?
>... just plugging it in,...
What about the time required to charge after plugging in
PS: hopefull of the future... just pumping fuel insted of plugging and waiting.
here i am not talking about what music to use but how to choose different music accordingly.
1. Depending upon the time of call... morning, noon, evening.
2. Depending upon the destination department, like finance, customer support...
3. Depending upon the destination person, this person will decide what his caller want to hear.
4. depending upon the caller(this should be the first point) like partner, customer, consultant...etc.
you are right for NOW. >It does sound funny using it like that Those "funny usages" are the corner stones for a dictionary to evolve and exist. If all people followed dictionary strictly(impossible, because it is life and we lives on change) then a millennium back dictionary still holds good today.

Please remember there is nothing called IE, when it comes to browsers. Even I don't know how to call 'it'... Probable in the language of Scott Collins, we can call 'it' as plow + land + seeds + cultivation + crop +...... Doing any comparison with 'it', is directly accepting the M$ confusion: OS = ALL POPULAR APPLICATIONS = OS
Which technology we are missing here? Printing? or... A 2 MP image is really sharp and great enough on 20 inch CRT, but not even decent for a 8x10" print ! Could someone explain?
>in-appropriate php apps
you are correct, BUT, the struggle for existence will force us to take many directions, independent of the appropriateness.
The struggle here is to find a means to deliver apps on to multiple platforms(OSs).
Existence of such a means are getting closed, due to *PURE* commercial interests.
The developers are finding those means for their better life, appropriate or in-appropriate doesn't matter here.
IE browser is part of OS, so you got the platform to extend. When it comes to Mozilla, browser itslef is THE platform to extend and it is truly compatable across all major OSes... so... 10 MB.
I feel bad, when someone talks bad about anyone(even MS), but i know there is no alternative better way to express the current situation. If it happens to the M$ PR department to express the same, they will do it so nicely so that the common man can't understand... and my blood boils.

blog sites with just people names gives me more trust than big-names.

Those "funny usages" are the corner stones for a dictionary to evolve and exist.
