I'm kinda surprised that Northrop didn't accidentally drop something large on his house. Not a bomb, because that would be too obvious. Maybe a giant flaming bag of poo.
implies unfamiliarity with copyright statutes and case law
Not even. It implies that the person didn't know how to spell "copyright" in the first place. "Copywritten" would be a derivative of "copywrite", which is just stupid.
I'd go for filling the safe w/ nitrogen.... pretty cheap, and you'd be able to displace all the oxygen. Just make sure you open it in a well ventilated area!
I'm fairly sure those laid off (at least some of them)will be unwilling to buy from IBM again
Luckily for IBM, they don't really have any consumer-level products. After selling their pc, hd, and printer divisions they're really just left with enterprise level stuff. And I doubt any of those laid off are in a position to influence the buying habits of another corporation.
Furthermore, the hyperlinked prediction, written on 03/18/03 predicted a switch in "12 to 18 months". The most anyone can say is that he was... sorta right.
In other words, there are countless criteria which they can use to deny admission. Totally private universities may, in fact, have the right to discriminate based on ANY criteria. I haven't done the research, but Boy Scouts of America has been successful in disciminating against homosexual applicants.
I never pointed out that Stanford and Harvard are businesses. In fact, they are not-for-profit, which in my mind requires the same standards of fair-play that I'd hold the government to. Of course, I'm not saying that they did anything illegal... it's within their rights to deny admission based on any number of criteria. I just disagree with the decision.
Likewise, it would be impossible for the government to lay down every possible situation or action that should be illegal. Maybe it's unfair to arrest people for breaking unwritten laws, but otherwise we'd be effectively licensing people to do whatever they want, in effect giving them "rights".
Of course, you'll need a serious case upgrade too, and we would recommend the CoolerMaster 821 Garage, which comes with a tasteful variety of electronic doors and leaves enough room for even the largest GFX cards in SLI and a Nissan Micra too.
Seriously people, it's a JOKE. Stop trying to explain why it'll never work because it uses 1.4KW.
What rules? I doubt their application had some fine print that said "I will not try to access my results page before Stanford sends me a link". Did the web site have a TOS that said "no crafting acceptance queries by hand"? No rules were broken but the admission department's unwritten rules of business ethics. Maybe this is enough for some people, but I don't think people should be punished for doing something that isn't explicitly prohibited by university policy.
Actually there's this little thing called a common carrier. When a carrier offers it's services to the public at large, they lose the right to discriminate based on the content of goods. This is different from private carriers such as personal aircraft.
Yeah, but actually I was still paying for broadband through them. So really they "forgot" to install the filter (low-pass I believe as cable modems use the lower channels).
As I recall, portable CD players that would play MP3 CDs were considered the player of choice for geeks in the know. (Burned the to cd as as filesystem)

Drunken slashdot posting is teh fun.

It's called a bill of sale, the little piece of paper they hand you when you pay.
USB 2.0 enclosures -- cheap and (since you're using a cheap ass drive anyways) fast enough.

Yeah, I can never find that 11 key!

Yeah, the downside you're missing is the cost of having both.

It means "Many; also, no particular amount of."

Amazingly enough, it's called the Common Carrier Act. And you can't bring a bomb on board because of Federal law, not airline policy.

I would call it a local maxima.
Well if you know the size of the buffer, you could always write $buffsize zeros to disk.

Hilarious! Actually when I cancelled my subscription Comcast didn't even come unplug my cable feed.
