  6. Yes on A Look at the US Patent System · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I agree. It has becomming horrible... where I worked up until last summer, we were actually paid a bonus of approximately $1000 to file for obvious patents for the sole purpose of hoping that our competitors will accidentally use this idea in their products. Though those were stupid, I would have to say that the record goes to this: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?patentnu mber=4,022,227

  7. Weird on Time Warner To Be Split Into Four Parts? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Does anyone else find it weird that just a few years ago, big mergers were all the rage and "synergy" was the magic buzzword in corporate America and on Wall Street. So why are so many companies now rushing to get unhitched? Also, is this outbreak of corporate divorces good for shareholders, or should I sell my stocks now?

  8. WHAT? on Ingredients in Beer as a Cancer Treatment? · · Score: 1

    So your saying all these college kids which keep peeing on my lawn after they are drunk aren't worsening their health? That's EXACTLY the reason I haven't called the police to fine them :(.

  9. Just a note on Best of What's New 2005 · · Score: 5, Informative

    For those of you that don't know what perpendicular magnetic recording is, it is basically a new technology recently introduced by Toshiba into their line of MP3 players which is a way of stacking the bits perpendicular to the hard disk rather than laterally. Conventional HDD can hold up to 400 GB while this new technology allows for 10 times the storage per square inch. Many of the hard disk drives plan to introduce a new hard disk in pc's by 2007.

    In my opinion, with this new jump in technology, the future is secure with HDD of similar size, yet 10x the capacity.

    do whatever your hormones tell you to do.
    As in, try to get "a piece of the action"? If you havent forgotten, we're on slashdot.

  11. From what I understand on TinyDisk, A File System on Someone Else's Web App · · Score: 4, Informative

    I saw this a few hours ago, and from what I understand the process goes as follows:

    1- Open a meta file
    2- Retrieve and concatenate all the clusters from TinyURL in the order
    specified in the meta file.
    2- Base64 decode the file
    3- Decrypt the file with the algorithm and key in the meta file
    4- Decompress the file with the algorithm in the meta file.
    5 - Verify the file size given in the meta file is correct for the
    decoded/decrypted/decompressed file
    6- Verify the checksum with the algorithm and value in the meta file matches
    for the decoded/decrypted/decompressed file
    7- Set the filename of the decoded/decrypted/decompressed file to the
    filename specified in the meta file.

    Hope that helps somebody :)
