Marked for inflation the 360 costs less than what i spent on an atari years ago, and that is pretty amazing.
Not really. Basically all technology improves while reducing in price over time. That's like saying that, amazingly, your new mobile phone has more features than the first mobile phones available, and yet it costs less.
what if the sunk sprays your whole house? which option will you chose then- the tomato juice, or ditching it? Because by your analogy, that would be the equivilent of someone covering an airport in known substances
but the second client's download (from the first client) would count against it's ratio! so if the file is 200mb, client1 gets to improve it's upload by 200mb, but client2 now has a 200mb bigger download.. resulting in a net increase to your ratio of.... 0? and that's assuming that client2 ONLY downloads off you. if client 2 downloads 100mb off you and 100mb off other seeds, then your ratio will be worse by 100mb (downloaded 200mb on client2, uploaded 100mb on client)
But if the required information can be found from other sources (as the patent describes) then the gift giver has supplied sufficient information.
So the patent doesn't apply to any possible situation.
From TFP it seems that the extra information is gathered from the gift receiver, not the gift giver. Thus, the patent applies to every situation in which it's supposed to apply.
If i was living in a house of only guys, I wouldn't walk around naked all day.
Just because it's another guy who's looking at me, doesn't mean it's OKAY. Some people may be very uncomfortable with their body. Why should they have to get naked every time they go on a flight?
keeping our flights safe? exactly how many planes per year are hijacked and everyone on board killed in the united states? just a rough average since air flight was introduced please. ..
Exactly how many flights are there per day? There must be a one in a billion or so chance of a plane being hijacked. I'd rather take my chances than knowing that air port staff are checking out my little sister.
I'm sure it would be reasonably easy to do the race really slow. Most companies could probably make a car that can finish the track in a few months. that's not really worth 2 million though. What is valuable is being able to have an autonomous vehicle that can actually move at a speed which is useful to humans
From what I can gather, there are far too many skilled programmers around with no jobs because they lack a little peice of paper which costs them many thousands of dollars saying that they've been to uni
This comunity code thing could let them use their real skills (rather than having to do mowing for their dole), and also will probably add something nice to their resume to maybe get them moving in the job market.
I live on a hill in a very foresty area. it's very beautiful, but there's TV towers directly across a few kilometers on another mountain. They really dont stand out too much so i really wonder how much extra effort it would take to camoflage them in
Surely just painting them light blue or white to suit the sky would make them half dissapear. Cheap and easy solution for a non problem.
Ha aparently that was flamebait? I haven't mentioned any party of person in particular. government funded assasinations have been happening for decades (centuries?) and will continue to happen in the future. I was suggesting they should have saved the technique for future use, not particuarely for this currently government.
It's dumb to waste such a valuable technique on a relatively unimportant document. I'm glad the spy agencies didn't reveal their secrets everytime the enemy ordered pizza
The elections weren't rigged. Your guy lost. Get over it.
i'm australian. my guy didn't lose (well he did, but in the australian elections, not the american elections). i didn't want al gore to win because i though he was a jerkwad, but it doesn't mean the elections weren't rigged.
it's a shame it was wasted on this document. they'll be sure not to make the same mistake again. pity it wasn't saved for a document that shows something more important (how elections were rigged or government funded assasinations etc)

Back in my day, if you didn't like the service that a company provided, you'd change to their competition, not sue.
you see, they did pay to set this thing up. and yes, they paid for it, in part, for marketing purposes.
So just like every other company, they pay for marketing, and in much the same way as many other companies do.
The Orwellian nightmare doesn't happen over night.
Being a slashdot reader, you wont have to lie to get a nervous quiver in your voice if there's a hoy female in the area

I'd prefer them to put their efforts towards innovating in new fields than trying to follow google's every step poorly

So you chose to prempt natural deterioration by adding your own?

why should the kids care? uh, because their SSNs are in the open waiting to be stolen..
screenshots, anyone?
Great, now slashdot is a group of toaster repairmen.
We dont have the time of day to cover just dubya

Oh, and for the record- our TV reception SUCKS.

however, if you'd learn to read, i also said that the hindsight comment was in reference to the design, not in reference to them ignoring the memo.
Imagine the amount of folding they could do up there with a real processor though!
it's lorem ipsum. basicly filler text that looks like english but wont distract the viewer from the real subject matter (the design)
