Sorry, but McDonald's never said they were a health food store and the cosmetics say look and feel younger, not make it younger.
Lord of the Rings? Some screwy thing in copyright law involving a difference between paperback and hardback books. Did you ever notice how any decent publisher still payed royalties to Tolkien even thought they didn't have to?
In China there is a long tradition for copying great masters, certainly in arts, but also in other matters. After all, if something is good, why not?
So, do they see copying homework and research and taking credit for it as their own as good as well?
Can you explain why?
Isnt the ability to make a similar product cheaper the sheer essence of capitalism?
Arent all those les afaire capitalists complaining about arbitrary limitation of the market forces? Maybe because they aren't completely 'making' the product when they copy the internal workings of another? Development costs are a real factor in the manufacturing of a product. Someone who gets to copy another's product without paying the development costs reaps an unfair advantage, it's just like industrial espionage.
Also, if you will note, twice the mention knockoffs that are inferior: "These clones bear our name and address," David Blackburn, the company's CEO, told the U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission. "The label . . . contains our catalog part number and the initials of a calibrator, as well as a final tester."
Now, how does selling a counterfeit under someone else's name fit in to your view of capitalism?
The Chery QQ demonstrates more than just the skill of modern cloning. It also illustrates the danger. Easy-fit doors and rearview mirrors aside, there are differences--scary differences--between the Spark/Matiz and the QQ. As news of the copycat car spread last year, a German automotive club conducted and videotaped a comparative crash test between the two vehicles. When the Matiz hits the barrier, the front end crumples. The rear of the car bucks upward and then thuds back to the ground. An impact chart shows serious yet nonfatal injuries to both the driver's and passenger's head and legs (the chart distinguishes impact with color: the redder the deadlier). The Chery hits the obstacle at the same speed. The rear end of the car lifts higher than the Matiz and begins to rotate. The driver-side door pops open. Hood, engine and roof crumple into the passenger compartment. The frame buckles, bringing the vehicle flat to the ground. On the impact chart, the driver's head, neck and chest are brown and red: not survivable.
A profesional grade CF to IDE adapter wouldn't exist for servers. Partly because servers don't use IDE. By the way, in this case, I am talking about servers coming from companies that build servers to order, not some computer that was custom built by an individual to be a server.
Now, as to what the CF to whatever interface would have, that would be a bit more than you describe?
Lets see, a bit of redundancy, designed and tested to be in use most of the time, temperature extreme testing, guaranteed throughput/read time from the card/interface, basically something quite a bit more 'rugged' than what you'd find at Best Buy. Kind of like the difference between IDE drives and SCSI drives.
The had a race to see who could build a robot to navigate across the desert the fastest, and none of the entrants completed the course... so they say, "okay, now who can navigate through a city the fastest?" Doesn't seem to me like the right time to raise the bar.
That was Grand Challenge I. The reheald it a year or two later and had several teams finish. Urban Challenge was only started after they had a successful Grand Challenge.
Gah, typo. Meant to say USB adapter, not USB header. As in the compact flash to USB adapter.
Also, I was talking about what the GGP was saying about a Flash to IDE, which would be a CONSUMER FLASH CARD with a CONSUMER IDE ADAPTER. It was with this following sentence in mind that I wrote (3).
So? CF to IDE bridge taped down in a drive bay. Flash to IDE header gadget plugged direct to an IDE header. They even have em that plug direct to USB headers on the MoBo now.
Both of which would be the most likely to fail in a server over the other things.
1) Cost. They would have to design the mobos and test them.
2) The IDE header is not going to be used in profesional servers. For one, they don't have IDE anymore. They have SATA or SCSI.
3) The USB headers are not going to have as high of an uptime compared to something dell could build onto the motherboard (in theory, supposing dell does'nt screw up. This is required due to what most server buyers need is reliability for servers that run 24/7/365.25. Adding in what you suggested, the first thing to fail would most likely be either the flash or the adapter.
This is based on some guess work, but I think I have an idea on it. Mind you, we Americans have a (bad) habit of shortening words. (i.e., path, pathway) (I met a British guy once who didn't know what I meant, which is why I use that example)

In a 200 horsepower engine, that is 200 at peak RPM. You're not getting that, normally. Also, peak horsepower is related to max speed and max fuel efficiency. Imagine fuel efficiency as an upside down parabola. The 200 horsepower is measured somewhere past peak fuel efficiency, where peak fuel efficiency may be 100 horsepower. The extra horses are there for a variety of reasons, one of which being that it is easier to design an engine that can get a higher horsepower than it's peak efficiency than to design one made to operate at peak horsepower and efficiency.
I bet that even if you did own a car that did have 200 horsepower, you'd never use most of it except in some unusual circumstances.
I can care less how fast it can go or its acceleration.
Yes you do. You want it to be able to get above 60mph and do that in a reasonably small amount of time (say, less than 20 seconds?). Otherwise, you'll never be able to take it on the interstate or most roads due to the slow speed or bitched at at lights when the light turns green.
~110 years ago, J&J licensed the red cross to the ARC provided it wasn't used for commercial products.
So, it's not that J&J is suing the Red Cross over the Red Cross using a red cross, J&J is suing the Red Cross as the Red Cross licensed out the red cross symbol to be used in the commercial sale of medical products. Trademark law is quite clear in that you can have two or more different groups use the same symbol or name, so long as they are in different industries. With this licensing the Red Cross has done, they have put products competing with J&J into the medical industry, which violates J&J's trademark.
Also-- hasn't the "red cross" always been a symbol for medical aid, ie) in warfare?
No. It's just been in use for that since sometime between the U.S. Civil War and 1900. Before that, there essentially was no on field medical personnel.
It's called slang. It's used in a slightly humorous manner when one person wants to have a light attitude about something. 'Boobs' is in the dictionary as a synonym for 'breasts' and has been in use since ~1929.
bmi is jacked for many women - and the creator of the scale was pretty up front on that from what i've read.
I'm guessing you mean that it is higher for women. Yes, there is a reason for that. It's called Boobs. Two large lumps of fat sitting on their chest. Comparing an average woman to an average man of the same height, the woman would of course weigh more due to those boobs.
You kidding me? I'm in USAA and I pay under $700 a YEAR for a three year old Accord. Unfortunately, you probably wouldn't qualify for them, so GEICO is the next best one to try.
The Marssian North Pole is in reference to the geographical north pole, not the magnetic. The Marssian magnetic field is so week as to be non existent.
Most of the backbones were constructed along the railroad lines, in the "right of way" areas. They didn't use eminent domain to get them, they leased them from the railroad companies. Now, parts of the railway system were acquired using eminent domain, but that was about 100 years ago and the telcos had nothing to do with that.
Now, one other thing.
You can't build any sort of back bone, main thorough fare (even radio broadcasts) with out Eminent domain.
RADIO BROADCASTS?! WTF are you smoking to think that you need eminent domain for that? Transmitter sites that TV and Radio stations used haven't been acquired by eminent domain.
This one actually appears to not be a troll. The company in question is not a house of lawyers, but a chip manufacturer making chips that use this technology. So, for once we are hearing about a patent suit that does not appear to be a troll.
Interesting thing to note about the power of the FCC to censor. The basic reasoning for this goes back to before TV to the early days of Radio. The Radio (and TV) frequencies were given to the Radio (and TV) stations for free originally. They were then required to follow a few rules. Content limitations has been one of them for a long time. TV and Radio are pretty much unique in that they are the only commercial uses of the broadcast spectrum that got the frequencies for free and as such have some unique rules for them to follow.
They'd also have no say in anything not owned by the public at large.
I'm kind of curious what you mean by this. By law, the public owns the air waves, but they are leased to the broadcasters. Also, on the power requirements and such, every electronic device has the part 15 of FCC regulations regarding RF noise. So, what exactly do you mean by that?
Ok, I'm curious here. A few questions of interest, partly regarding practicality.
What Country/State/Province/City do you work in? Employer too, if you feel comfortable sharing.
Do you pay for this or does your employer provide it for free?
How does your employer keep it from being abused at night by non-employees or something similar?
Are there any other things you think would be useful for me to know if I wanted to, say, try to get it set up at another business?
2) Late morning, after commuting to work (a socket at each parking space), and
3) Early afternoon, after coming back from lunch
Somehow I don't see either of these happening anytime soon. Primarily due to the requirement of #2. The installation of these is not going to happen for a while and businesses would be wary of them for the cost and the possibility that people would (without authorization) abuse them for other than cars. A parking meter style recharging station would still be years away. The prime (only?) charging location here is going to be in the home garage.

There are going to be radio control stop commands issued by DARPA if two cars get too close. This should prevent two cars from colliding.
