special status just means that people will file extra co-patents, so their existing patents can get special examiner status. It might cost a little bit more, but to some companies, that will probably be peanuts, compared to the value of "special examiner"-status.
of course, more patent claims = more money for them, and since they can discard the co-pending patent, it means more money for a tiny bit of work.
Wherever she goes, the police will be aware that she was once accused of something related to pedofilia. Accused of course implies she was linked to it.
ok, i meant to make this longer and darker, but i'm just not really feeling that paranoid tonight =)
I take it that gp has had plenty of bad days and been on the wrong side of the law often enough. Gp was just never caught doing so and thus believes that he or she never did anything "bad".
But i guess as someone trying to learn about usability analysis and the like, there's a lot to learn when it comes to drivers (of cars, bikes,trains, boats, airplanes, etc.)
If you patent, it'll be expensive. If you don't patent, but end up making it, someone else will patent it and sue you, that will be more expensive. However, if it'll never really be marketable, publish, someone might think oooo nifty, and hire you because it sounds great.
create work A. get annoying little brother to send A to company X (but bully him a bit, so he'll never admit that he did it, or you forced him) Go to court over X illegally holding A.
the work A could be a simple poem, that your brother posts on their tech support site or forums, where it's available to anyone. At least in Denmark, where i get a note saying "STOP the police are not logging this (yeah right)" even read any of the pirate bay subdomains (*.thepiratebay.org).

And to some extent, i think you might still be right. What they've done isn't to build in Conficker detection and the like, but to enable scripting so you can extent nmap. being able to write nmap scripts is nice, on the other hand, on the other hand, several other tools allow for scripting nmap, so i don't see the point in going the other way around it.
I've never really felt that nethack was fun, because it was ME running around in dungeons. Nethack is fun because it speaks to logic and bad puns (i like bad puns. I like bad punch too, if it's spiked).
when first played games such as quake or bioshock, good graphic and soundscape helped me feel in danger of whatever was around the next corner. I like a good shock once in a while, the sudden appearence of a darg grey 'D' or '&' just doesn't hit my nerves.
It's wonderful to live in Copenhagen, one third of all personal transportation is on bicycle, a little less is public transportation (metro, trains and buses).
Motorists in this town actually feel that they have to fight to be allowed to stay in the city. Honestly, the city is doing what it can to ban gasoline vehicles from the inner city. Even though bicycles are slower, there's still a lot more room for these than for cars, and bicycles pollute less too. So dear car-driver, get out off my town.
oh and to stay on topic. The real solution isn't to paint imaginary lanes, but to establish real bicycle lanes!

I claim that this will be great for gaming, i already want to make games for things like this, seeing this video does nothing to remove that.
I also think this expensive toy will be great for things that requires complex data to be handled fast. That's what gestures are good for, complex objects, needing complex handling, instead of going into a menu->submenu->item, click. They're nice in the same way as keyboard shortcuts, they reduce strain, but can't be used for everything.
Gestures are great for somethings and really poor for other things. This system is partly a system for gestures, partly a system of semantics of the various gestures, and partly a system for using these things over an arbitrary amount of screens(dig about a bit on the website).
I think that for some uses this will be awesome, for others it won't work. Don't do programming or other text-centric things on this system. I have no illusion that talking will ever replace typing. Just like I don't think the Wii will replace me going outside to play soccer with my friends, Or that an OMNIMAX will stop me going to beautiful places.
Of course, if it's the other way around, it will tell them that some people learned their lesson? On the other hand, if red alert sales goes bonkers, they'll say "Look what happens when we loosen drm!!", even though the difference between 3 installs on one computer and 1800 installs on one computer is without impact on piracy.
I think it's the "Door-in-the-face" salesman trick, of first asking an insanely high price, so the stupidly high price seems more acceptable. And I think you bought it.

well, it's just a minor upgrade to windows vista, so...?
It's a good upgrade to vista, they've taken care of many of the big grievances.
Windows 7 is not that big a change, so it hasn't cost that much to develop, so it's cheaper.
ah you're wrong...
One of them would win, some times one, some times the other...
but the loser will always be the consumer.
the interesting part is that in a proper market, the consumer would be the winner when there's increased competition.

Why is it that science is currently in it's goth phase, everything has to be named "Dark x".
just goes to show how much being a drama queen matters, compared to just the old way of demonstrating experiments.
