Or, you could actually read the article, wherein lies this quote:
Akamai's cofounder and chief technology officer Danny Lewin was aboard American Airlines Flight 11 on September 11 and was killed when the plane was flown into the World Trade Center.
I think now would be an appropriate time to mention that if you're into independent artists, and you like physical media, check out CDbaby.com. Tons of great independent artists, good prices, and a good portion of the money actually goes to the artist.
The legislation would keep patent office revenue in-house and thus could expedite the patent-application process, which grows lengthier and more costly as technology gets more complex, sources said.
Is it just me, or does this sound like it is just throwing more money at a problem and hoping it will solve itself? If the legislation doesn't have provisions to specify new procedures to actually get around to solving the problems, it is unlikely to solve much of anything.

The 23rd Spam
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
He leadeth me beside the still waters,
He restoreth my credit and consolidateth my debts,
For as little as $1,750,
If I act now.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me,
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
And can now be 50 Percent Larger in Three Weeks.
Guaranteed.
Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of mine enemies,
Thou annointest my head with oil,
My cup runneth over.
But as an added bonus,
I will receive $1,000.00 cash,
If I complete thy online registration form today.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,
All the days of my life,
And I will dwell forever,
In the House of the Lord,
Which I shall refinanceth,
To take advantage,
Of the lowest mortgage rates in years.
Napster the music-sharing service used to be cool. Now, it's nothing more than a Brand Name. That's not nine lives, that's just someone profiting off of an established name. Sad.
But it wont work because if a device can tell if your antilock brakes are working it can just as easily tell if your speeding or any other number of big brother activities.
Ever heard of OnStar? It's got GPS, and can therefore report whether you're speeding, and yet it's not abused in the way you suggest it would be. People actually even pay extra to have it in their car.
I'm not saying that it isn't good to be cautious, but just because a technology can be used in a "Big Brother" way doesn't mean it will.
Hey, why not? GM sells cars that do a pretty good job of spying on the driver, and people buy it for this excellent "feature." And to them, it is a feature. It just takes some good marketing spin.
If every single car being made had something like this, then there would be cause for concern. Otherwise, just don't buy the cars that have this if you don't want it. Simple.
This really does seem to be an autopsy since he managed to kill it in the process.
Somehow I doubt that the D.A. would see it that way.
DS not meant as competition to the PSP?

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Nintendo say that the DS was not meant to be vying for the same market as the PSP, but rather there would be a new Gameboy to do that?

Actually, Mr. Fuller had domes. The balls referred to above have his name in honor of the domes.
1. Enriched U-235 or Pu-239.
Plutonium? No problem. Just look up the Lybians...
Your pixels roamed the screen? Lucky bastard. Ours just sat there. We had to imagine them moving. And they were all one color, too.
Networking.
As in, expand your personal contacts, not connecting together computers.

Repeat after me: Gameboy IS NOT OLD SCHOOL.
Huh. It looks like he's right.
Greetings, Professor Falken.
Shall we play a game?
Why can't I do whatever I choose with the music I pay for?
Because when you pay for it, you agree to a set of restrictions on what you can do with it. Don't like those restrictions? Buy it somewhere else.
So do I. It's called the 'Delete' key.
I thought that letting subscribers look into the "mysterious future" was supposed to help us not to have broken links.
Here's the fixed link.
Here's one solution.

Plus, their shipping notice email is cool.
Why not just let the market decide what the 'standard' is?
Yes, anyone can clearly see, that plan has worked excellently for cell phones.
As long as we're posting wild speculation and rumors, why not take a look at this *achem* "mock-up" of the DS?

Q: Can the editors at /. let even one story go by without taking a pot-shot at Microsoft?
I want compensation from sales of Microsoft Windows just in case it is used for spreading viruses.
A: Apparantly not.
The Encylopedia Industry just needs a lobby. How about EIAA? Sue and whine when your business model fails to make money. It's the American Way.

If there's one software industry I wouldn't shed many tears over the loss of, it's the one whose business model is to profit thanks to viruses.
