This is a design patent, so it is patenting what it looks like, not the functional effect of the page. The two pages look completely different, so an Altavista-like page would not infringe the patent.
It is a design patent, not an invention patent. Adidas has a patent on the three stripes design on their clothes. There is nothing technical or inventive about it, it is just how people recognise their product.
1998 was when Freeserve was launched, and that's when the internet became a mainstream technology in the UK. That's when I first got online, though with a different ISP.
The US has certainly made its fair share of contribution to technical improvement, but if I was to pick a country that made the best contribution, I'd probably go for Scotland. Maybe I'm just being patriotic, but considering its size, it has done quite a lot.
People don't seem to be buying these faster CPUs anymore, as there is a recession on, and the existing ones are fast enough. The machines I see in the shops still have pretty much the same Intel models they had two years ago. I don't think that has ever happened before.
I think the main change we will see in the next three years or so is faster Atoms rather than blazingly fast Core i9s or whatever Intel chooses to call them.
This is true. On the other hand, California doesn't have the Federal Government telling it that it must charge sales tax on road and bridge tolls for example, or that it isn't allowed to lower the sales tax rate below 15%.
Actually, I think the problem is that we think of the USA as being more integrated than it already is.
Certainly, the USA has a mostly common language, a common currency, and most people can name their president; none of which is true in the EU, but the individual states in the US do have more autonomy than EU countries.
Having said that, if you ask someone the US which country they come from, they say the US, not Kentucky or Maryland. If you ask someone in the EU which country they come from, they say France, England, Scotland or whatever rather than Europe, or even Britain. People from Gibraltar, and protestants in Northern Ireland are probably the only ones who say they are British first.
I hate people who invade supermarket car parks, cause a nuisance, steal from people and so on. I'm not particularly fussed whether they are gypsies or some other race.
Fingerprint readers are much worse than passwords IMO, as you can't change them easily, and they aren't secret. A fingerprint scan from an untrusted location just tells the bank that someone has seen your fingerprints. It doesn't mean that your finger is present at the time.
Also, there are stories of people chopping off fingers to use in applications like these.
64bit Windows 7 with XP mode will, but you need one of the more expensive versions of Windows 7 to get that. £75 in the UK, apparently a lot more in the US.
It is important if companies in other EU countries want to sell DVDs to British people. They have to get the BBFC to review the DVDs and put the appropriate logo on them.
The main new feature is Exchange support. I guess the short feature list is why this one costs $29 for an upgrade rather than the $129 you usually pay for a new version.
If it is the Huawie modem that everone else uses, it is supported in most recent distros out of the box. However, Nokia being who they are may have developed their own modem, which probably won't work.

But compare your 50 year old TV to a book, or a newspaper. There is a whole order of magnitude more difference there.
The lack of a flying car isn't a technology problem, it is a cost / regulatory problem.
Broadband is any system that uses multiple frequencies to allow more than one connection over the same line.
56k modems, or even 9600 baud modems do this, so they are broadband technologies. Ethernet doesn't and as a result, it is generally a lot faster.
I get most of my videos legally from http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer or http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od these days
It still violates the patent.
A 90 day trial version of MS Office is generally included in the default image.
No, it will have 4.3GB of memory.

Then you will get bankofsweden.co.ng

No problem as long as it's running Office 2008.

Firefox and Safari have advertising deals with Google. IE doesn't, as it directs people to Bing and the Live services instead.
The Safe Browsing API is what you get from Google along with some money for signing this advertising deal.

This is no way like going from 98 to 2000. More like going from 2000 to XP or Vista to 7.
Going from 9 to 10.0 would be like going from 98 to 2000.

It looks to me like the same re-badged Taiwanese netbook that all the other "manufacturers" are shipping. A lot of the have built-in HSDPA modems.
