The x86 CPU making bit of Cyrix went to VIA. Cyrix's operation was previously a joint venture with IBM - IBM made the chips and sold half of them as IBM branded parts, and gave the other half to Cyrix to sell as Cyrix branded parts. I guess VIA would have bought the IBM part of the operation as well.
It is well established what the stopping distance is for 30 mph, or whatever the speed limit is at the lights. From that, you know how far away from the lights you need to be when they turn yellow to be able to stop in time and what sort of timescale that should be.
I think there should be a higher yellow time for a 70mph dual carriage way than for a 20mph urban traffic calming zone.
As it stands, if I'm on a dual carriage way, and I see traffic lights with cameras, I stop at them no matter what colour they are and make sure they are green when I drive off. It is the only way I can be sure of avoiding a ticket.
I'm quite happy to go for the idea that the Tories will be the next government. That doesn't mean it will happen in June 2010, but at some point in the future, Labour are going to lose an election, and I don't see anyone other than the Tories winning it.
England is a two party system. Scotland is a five party system, Northern Ireland has a sectarian 2 party protestant + 2 party catholic system. Wales, I'm not sure about. I suppose it is two parties, but a different two.
Yes it does. That's why it is more secure. If there is anything wrong with the program, it is picked up much more quickly, and something is done about it.
The European Convention on Human Rights comes from the Council of Europe, which is not related to the European Union who legislate on the curvature of cucumbers and various other similar issues.
But then, getting someone to switch from Office 2003 to Ooo should be easier than getting them to switch to Office 2007, unless, of course, you are one of the few people like me who actually use features in Office that haven't been implemented in Ooo.
But the vast majority of these emails get binned / ignored. How effective can they actually be these days when pretty much everyone knows about them and gets hundreds of them per day?
There is certainly no such restriction in England. You aren't allowed to grow Japanese Knotweed, or Cannabis plants or a few other things. Opium poppies are OK though, just as long as you don't start processing the seeds.
Obviously you need to register to pay taxes if you sell it, but that is the same as with any business.
You pick an interesting example, because there isn't any copyright protection on recipes. There is copyright on the words used to describe it, but you can describe the dish in your own words, and you can make and sell other peoples' dishes without any restriction.
Does that cause a problem? Not as far as I can see.

It's a patent, not a trade secret. Patents are supposed to be public knowledge, so that once the patent expires, everyone else can make them.

Yes, because the whole point of a patent is that you get a temporary monopoly.
20 years takes you back to the 486 days. I think Nvidia are going to want something a bit more capable than that.
Isn't that some sort of "Advanced Technology" IBM computer from the 1980s?
Maybe you should go to England where they call them Cashpoint machines, or Scotland, where they call them Cashline machines.
In Britain the withdrawal limit is generally £250 - £300 per day.
And saying as Royal Bank of Scotland has been nationalised after going bust, it is my tax payer pounds that will be paying for this.

I look to America to see what our economy will be like in a year or two from now.

And the other half probably think that being the antichrist is a good thing?
Actually, the "British Jobs for British Workers" thing was first seen on the BNP manifesto.

I call anything inside the M25 "London", and anything outside "the South East" (or other parts of England / the world as appropriate).

It only works in XP if you aren't connected to a domain, otherwise you get a Windows 2000 style login.
No. But Ozone Dioxide would be if it existed.

They aren't public servants. They work for private mercenaries like APCOA and NCP.
From the POV of the software house you didn't buy from, probably worse, because you are supporting a competitor product.
I think Microsoft would rather people pirate Windows than download and install Red Flag.
