Were they compressed, stored, transmitted and then decompressed?
Yes. The final human-readable form of the characters was a 6x9 array of dots (bits) that formed a glyph on the paper. Those 54 bits were compressed into an 8-bit byte for transmission by recognizing that most combinations of those 54 bits did not result in recognizable English letters, arabic numerals, or punctuation marks.
Thanks. I had "moused-over" all the links to find the one that looked like it pointed to a specific article, and not just some site's homepage. The first link pointed to the home page, which, unexpectedly, had the actual detailed info about the incident in question. Mea culpa.
I apologize. Though I had read more than 100 words into the page linked by the article, I had neglected to proceed to the *next* page and continue following the discussion a dozen or so posts later. The statement in question was actually not on the paged linked to by the article.
He was just trying to sound cool and it backfired on him
The stark contrast between your position on this issue, and the position of Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, the two guys who really did invent the internet, could not be more clear.
Here's what I want. If it's available somewhere for the PocketPC platform, please tell me. I like the voice record button, but I want it to incorporate application-specific voice recognition. I want to be driving down the road, whip out my PDA, push the voice record button and say "NEW EMAIL TO self ABOUT engine light BEGIN call garage and make an appointment to have the car looked at END", or "NEW APPOINTMENT DATE TODAY TIME one p.m. INVITE bob and joe SUBJECT code review LOCATION main conference room". Right now all that voice record button is leave an item in my outlook notes folder with a voice recording attachment inside.
Somebody writes a bunch of text that sounds like The Swedish Chef (from the muppets), and I add the Swedish Chef's famous tagline at the end of it, and you call that a troll? Hey, I thought it was funny, but even if you didn't, that doesn't make it a troll.
if you cannot feel outraged at the decapitation of an American soldier, then what do you stand for?
Nick Berg was not an American soldier. He was an American businessman trying to help rebuild Iraq's communication ifrastructure. Hopefully, people wmo might not be outraged at the decapitation of an American soldier will at least be outraged by this.
Whether or not that was the best design for dissipating heat is a separate discussion for another day. The fact remains that the laptop *is* dissipating heat this way, and the designers of the pad *know* it, and they are knowingly circumventing it.
Has there been any investigation into the effect this has on the laptop computer itself? After all, you're keeping in the heat that the laptop was trying to dissipate.

Charitable donations result in a tax *deduction*, not a tax *credit*, at least here in the U.S.
Your landlord relies on your ingnorance of this fact to get you to follow the terms he wishes.
And if you prove, and exercise, your lack of ignorance, you may have a difficult time convincing your landlord to renew your lease next year.
Not "Hooper". Though apparently, many web pages seem to make the same mistake.
Is it human spirit to "take what you can get when they're not looking" or are these bozos just out to make a cheap buck?
Yes.

He has admitted he commited fraud
He has? I saw the accusation from the victim, but where was the admission by the alleged perpetrator?

You sure that ain't your zip drive?
anything else?
Yeah, Kuro5hin is better than Slashdot.
ie public domain but you must give credit in the source code?
You can't put something in the public domain and still dictate licensing terms.
Actually, I think it was "I'm gonna write me a minivan". And the PHB says, "I hope this drives the right behavior".

Of course it isn't that simple. You have to learn to use the correct iostream operators first.

Yeah, and Ballmer will be the kid talking to himself and wearing the football helmut.

Now I get to pay $x for a tivo subscription and $y for a broadband connection when rental is $x, which happens to be a lot less than $x or $y.
Ya know, there are more than two letters in the alphabet to choose from.
I philosophically disagree with the way Microsoft works -- yeah yeah, it's business and all is fair yada yada
No, that's love and war. Not business.
