Suppose someone buys from AP a license to use words that aren't theirs to license. Suppose this person then gets sued by the rightful owner of the copyright on those words. The claim to have a license from AP gets rejected. Where can the parties claim damages?
Just reserving a tiny cut on a $2.6 billion deal could have paid for a boatload of lawyers and linguists to sort out that contract. If people are that stupid blowing money away like that, IMO they shouldn't be allowed to ever come _near_ an ATM.
Yeah, just start cranking away at those right now, and by the time they invent time travel you can either get forward in time to fetch the result (if the universe hasn't evaporated by then) or go back with your answer if you already have it.
By the way, the above may be just one way of proving that time travel will not be possible. Anyone care to prove me wrong?:-)
As always, there are pros and cons for each of them. What is important but often overlooked, I think, is that for 'organic' food (i.e. food grown the traditional way), the long-term effects on humans are pretty well known (in case of agriculture, more than 10.000 years of case history), whereas for the 'tech'-grown food (in particular GM food and food treated with pesticides) the data is only just coming in, comparatively speaking.
Nah. Just stick one(!) QR code on the side of a shelf, then visitors can take a picture of that. With a custom Android app they can get information on what's on that shelf straight from the library's computer catalog. Pricewise, this simply beats anything that's more expensive than a simple barcode.
What's even cooler with these Japanese mobile phones, is that you can even take picture of Japanese text, it will read it and convert it to text, which you translate over the internet. WTF doesn't the rest of the world that this technology!?!?
Because "the rest of the world" doesn't have an Android phone yet?
If you do, just get the Barcode Scanner app and you're set. Wanna read Japanese characters? Get Lliane Japan.
Yep, Those darn pesky badly designed inefficient power supplies give me a headache. I have better than average hearing and am allergic to the hideous squeal they put out.
I think in this case it's much more about whether a user likes to tinker or not. Like there are people who cannot resist popping the lid on any electronic gadget they buy and start modding it as soon as they get home from the store, there are people who will start fiddling with the 'preferences' of their browser or OS even before it has finished loading. It's not always about the ability to change something, it's about the desire to do so outweighing the effort required.
nope, I think they should post it on eBay. They can even offer (ballistic) shipping worldwide. Winner of the bid assumes full liability for any damages during and after re-entry and should make arrangements for insurance or alternative shipping method if desired.

The question was not whether CUDA runs _on_ Linux, but whether the GPU itself can run Linux.
I can imagine that, if we had ever been given all the specs, a multi-function DSP card like IBM's Mwave could. It would probably even be able to read aloud console messages (besides being a graphics card and modem, it's also a sound card).

Since it's less than 5 words, let me claim fair use and rehash them:
"Pioneer Papuan Patent Right Worker"
Not fraud maybe, but rather criminal negligence.

Telephone networks were never designed for the user to have any real power or control...
So this now is a classic example of passing the blame for a design flaw (or lack of forethought) on to Joe Public by locking down their phones.
Don't fix the cause, hide the symptoms. Way to go, Apple!

What do you think is causing him pain from access points?
Wearing a hearing aid?
Badly designed hearing aid + WiFi interference =? Irritating buzz.
An early version of the Mosquito teenager repellent perhaps?
I classify that contraption as a means of torture!

Yep. "My brain makes me sick!" would be true whether or not he actually has EM hypersensitivity.

Cowcircles, not cropcircles?
Animals are beautiful people.
Smaller than a credit card (both in size and in price, I hope).
We've got credit card size bongs, why not credit card size beamers?
Save the planet, run Albedo Linux. The penguin without the poo.

Well, everywhere else in the world, Linux runs the CUDA Toolkit, so I can imagine that in Soviet Russia, a Beowulf cluster of Nvidia cards run Linux.
post.push("First!");
All fine and dandy, but...does it run Linux?
