the article mentioned that infineon was in the process of reaching settlements with the injured parties, i.e., dell. i am sure that these types of settlements will be in lieu of civil trials, and that they will remain private.
i've always kind of enjoyed the idea of living subterranean, snuggled-in all cozy and stuff underground. gives me a warm fuzzy. ever since i was a little kid. maybe it's because i grew up during the cold war, but maybe it predates that.
I believe that, back when the foundations for our current school system were laid, the prevailing common sense motivated our educational forebears to develop a one-size-fits all approach. They may have known then that it was suboptimal, but they did not have the educational technologies that allow us today to consider alternative approaches. They could not cope with a multi-faceted approach, so they had to decide which single-facet approach was best.
So instead of looking for a conspiratorial angle, perhaps we should instead examine the context of that long ago period. For example, if that period coincided roughly with the industrial revolution (I didn't pay enough attention in history class, sorry), then it is not hard to see why the early educators chose a curriculum that best enabled its matriculators to participate in that new thing called industry.
Also, I suggest that we all keep in mind that, except for the earliest colonial migrations from Europe, everyone else has been immigrating here to find a job. America is built on the backs of people who came for the sole reason of finding work. Work is ingrained in our bones. So that might be another reason our schools are so job-oriented.
Representing a constituency at a political convention does not, in any way, require said representative to have his or her private information posted on the web. Yew ar stewpid.
Google creates some of the world's most advanced software. Yet they seem to have roughly the same business acumen as my 13-year-old yellow labrador retriever. First they get caught doleing out shares of their pre-IPO company to employees and consultants, then they violate their pre-IPO quiet period with that Playboy interview. And now this. What's next, lap dances for their S.E.C. review board?
I think this is a fabulous idea. I wonder if it would work as well for servers? NOC's would save money on power, and the servers would become a bit more reliable, due to the lack of fans. Plus, if you have ever spent any length of time in a large NOC, you know that the combined noise of all those thousands of fans is quite loathsome.
i started to nod off 1/4 of the way into it. he must be charging top dollar for his lectures, because he's throwing around words like "paradigm shift", and bagging on the wisdom of our beloved open source leaders:
My premise is that free and open source developers are in much the same position today that IBM was in 1981 when it changed the rules of the computer industry, but failed to understand the consequences of the change, allowing others to reap the benefits.
do open source developers really put in all that work and love and dedication, only because they expect to reap benefits? i think they do it just to get their names on/.!
Both of my thumbs are double jointed. Because of this, I have always crushed every single thumb wrestling opponent. No one has ever been able to pin my thumb, because I can quickly snap it out of harm's way via the double-jointed action. Then, as soon as I detect a hint of fatigue in my opponent's thumb, my thumb pounces like a mongoose.
Would this obvious advantage disqualify me from multiplayer thumb wrestling tournaments?
you don't need a tin foil hat to know that the govt has mega-bitchin' satellites with which they can see, in all their gory detail, the very zits on your nose. perhaps they cannot release any really, really, really hi-res photos of the ararat site for security reasons?
1) Ebay. Pay close attention to the seller's feedback, and you will get the best deal, often with a decent warranty. Also beware of resellers on ebay, because with them, you're not saving any money. Plus, you'll save yourself the cost of a plane ticket.
2) CompUSA. They have good prices and a decent warranty.
3) Best Buy. Good prices, but pay close attention to the fine print on the warranty. Also, their turnaround time on warranty repairs is abysmal.
So what TJ was saying is, that it's totally wacky to grant someone the exclusive rights to use an idea, but it's ok to grant them exclusive rights to profit from the idea.

mr. brin is one of my favorite authors, so i won't bag on him for how he spends his obviously copious amount of spare time.
are there enough significant differences between the 2 desktops, that it warrants maintaining them both, separately?

At first I thought, "That's cool." Then I saw one of the examples, and said to myself, "Huh. Not so cool."
