I wish NoScript were the default behavior. So do I. After all, this boils down to a philosophy -- which is a better default javascript permission list for a website you've never been to before: a whitelist, or a blacklist?

When you have bought a new CD, even with the DMCA, you are allowed to sell it. Look it up, it is the right of first sale.
Someone else buys it; they are not breaking any laws, nor are you. This is a single CD that has not been copied -- there is a single listener (the current owner) The royalty on that CD was paid with the original retail purchase.

Meanwhile I was idly wondering if SCO would be selling their precious IP elsewhere; perhaps reinfecting the Canopy Group again...ya never know, voodoo, zombies, night of the living dead stuff.

I wait to see the patent for chewing your food thoroughly before swallowing.
No need to wait long then (although this is for a device and not merely the method alone):
Patent 5924422 abstract:
Title: Oral device to aid weight control Document Type and Number: United States Patent 5924422 Link to this Page: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5924422.html Abstract: An oral device and method for slowing down the rate of food ingestion, thereby aiding digestion, assimilation, and allowing time for raising blood sugar and achieving satiety sooner, with less food consumption over a given period of time. The device consists of any means for lowering the normally vaulted area of the roof of the mouth. In the preferred embodiment, the vault lowering means includes a molded piece which fits against the palate, and retaining wires to secure the piece to the teeth, while avoiding interference with the teeth on occlusion. The method and apparatus for lowering of the vault reduces the amount of food which can be comfortably ingested per bite. In use, the device allows the user to freely move his tongue and jaws, to talk, to breath, to drink, and to chew food. The method includes altering temporarily the configuration of the palate by lowering the vaulted area of the roof, to reduce the volume in the mouth available for food and reducing the food intake.

Amazon has a toolbar for quick one-click purchases although maybe not beer.
When drinking beer, one click is easier than two.
Somewhere in here lies a syllogism that would make it all clear.
My girlfriend has diabetes like an earlier poster mentioned, and as far as drug patents go, that arena of patent application is different from most others as the existence of orphan drug programs demonstrates.
Regarding software patents however, every step for a programmer seems to be a minefield; a week ago, I came across United States Patent 6996608 : Method for facilitating the entry of a URL address into an internet web browser URL address window.
Because my girlfriend has diabetes-related vision problems, I am always zooming the screen to show her something. This patent applies to the zooming of the URL window when you right-click on it so that you can more easily see what you type. Although obvious to me, I can't despise the assignee, and I quickly found that they are promoting a product based on the patent. So this isn't squatting on an idea, they are producing a product that they want to protect: http://www.signtelinc.com/main1/id37.html
With Google Desktop on my computer I can double-click the control key and it pops open a floating window so that I can type an enlarged URL (or other things). If I type a URL, it will open that web page in my browser. So, I can accomplish the same thing but (IANAL) not in violation of the patent because the patent applies to right-clicking on a browser URL box instead of double-clicking the control key.
Fortunately in this case the patent didn't grab the entire concept of an enlarged URL.
Also, the lack, or inclusion, of LAHF and SAHF being a "smoking gun" seems to be an overly strong conclusion.
LAHF and SAHF were included in the 8086 to ease transition from 8080 code and as such, have been somewhat arcane. Although they have their uses, dropping them has been probably been frequently considered over the years.

This is my attempt at an excerpt:
He began by studying management sciences at Ahmadu Bello University in the town of Zaria. Equipped with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration, he became a lecturer at the College of Business and Management Studies at Jigawa State Polytechnic in Dutse in 1990, at the same time heading the college's Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme. When not teaching, Abba serves as a consultant to the regional United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Jigawa, organising community activities and giving seminars. A staunch supporter of women's rights, he is also a consultant with the state's Ministry for Women Affairs and Social Mobilization.
These consultancies have brought Abba in close contact with rural communities, where he has observed the extreme hardships suffered by subsistence farmers and their families. "Through these observations, I became motivated to revitalise earthen pot usage and extend the life of perishable foods," he adds.
Vegetables, fruit and drinks cooled by a simple evaporation process The innovative cooling system that Abba developed in 1995 consists of two earthenware pots of different diameters, one placed inside the other. The space between the two pots is filled with wet sand that is kept constantly moist, thereby keeping both pots damp. Fruit, vegetables and other items such as soft drinks are put in the smaller inner pot, which is covered with a damp cloth and left in a very dry, ventilated place. The phenomenon that occurs is based on a simple principle of physics: The water contained in the sand between the two pots evaporates towards the outer surface of the larger pot where the drier outside air is circulating. By virtue of the laws of thermodynamics, the evaporation process automatically causes a drop in temperature of several degrees, cooling the inner container, destroying harmful microorganisms and preserving the perishable foods inside.
Abba's first trials proved successful. Eggplants, for example, stayed fresh for 27 days instead of three, and tomatoes and peppers lasted for three weeks or more. African spinach, which usually spoils after a day, remained edible after 12 days in the Pot-in-Pot storage.
The enterprising teacher persistently refined his invention for two years between 1995 and 1997. He then tapped into the large unemployed local workforce and hired skilled pot makers to mass produce the first batch of 5,000 Pot-in-Pots. Manufacturing these devices at his own expense for 30 US cents each, he began distributing them for free to five villages in Jigawa. For this initial phase of his project, he received limited financial backing from his brother and assistance in the form of transportation, fuel and labour from the UNDP, the regional government, a local women's development group and the Jigawa State Polytechnic.
In 1999, Abba built additional pot-making factories and supplied another dozen local villages with 7,000 pots, again at his expense. He estimates that three-quarters of the rural families in Jigawa are now using his cooling device.
The impact of the Pot-in-Pot on individuals' lives is overwhelming. "Farmers are now able to sell on demand rather than 'rush sell' because of spoilage," says Abba, "and income levels have noticeably risen. Married women also have an important stake in the process, as they can sell food from their homes and overcome their age-old dependency on their husbands as the sole providers." In turn, and perhaps most significantly for the advancement of the female population, Abba's invention liberates girls from having to hawk food each day. Instead, they are now free to attend school, and the number of girls enrolling in village primary schools is rising.
These factors, coupled with the effect that the Pot-in-Pot has had in stemming disease and slowing the pace of the rural exodus to cities, ar
RIT also claims to have resolved one of the biggest fears in immersion -- microbubbles. To solve this issue, the liquid goes through a "double boiling method" before it is introduced to the wafer. In doing so, "the water is de-gassed, where no bubbles exist," he said. here
I'm believe it's real. Content changed since I first went to the site. Now it has very complete terms of service and program policies information.
I think that the 1 gigabyte storage provision is deliberately placed to differentiate this from similar services.
