Writing for a unanimous court, Mr. Justice Louis LeBel said that the quid pro quo of patent legislation dictates that inventors can have an exclusive monopoly on a product provided they forthrightly disclose how it operates.
"If there is no quid – proper disclosure - then there can be no quo – exclusive property rights," he said.
The CAQ (Coalition Avenir Québec) pulled third, but all in all, I totally agree.
In total, Québec has 16 parties running more than one candidate. Alberta's last election had 9 parties. Similarly, in Alberta, a new party got seats.
There's a dynamic in Canada where new parties will rise, sometimes killing old parties. Methinks the Liberal dynasty of Canada will be one such victim.
My father's Sony drives me nuts with it's 120hz interpolation. I can attest to the soap-opera effect; it makes everything look very strange. Mission Impossible was positively ODD.
I was always curious if it was an effect of the high frame-rate or the interpolation algorithms. Worryingly this story seems to indicate it's the frame-rate, not the algorithms.
Being only a few hundred kilometres from major oil deposits, I see tonnes of people graduating from my institution with Petroleum engineering degrees. Do the majority of these people have a undying passion for the subject? Nope. The jobs are available, and they pay excellently, without having to risk fingers as a rig-pig. It's a smart choice.
I would be curious though to see the employment rates across the US for degrees. Are there engineering degrees for which there is demand, and how does that break out of the overall statistics presented in the article.
I dunno about genuine innovation; Maybe I'm missing the parallel but it looks a lot like Aza Raskin's Enso Launcher. Take a peek at the second half of this video.
I'm not faulting them for implementing it; After all, Enso Launcher looked fantastic but as far as I know never got much uptake and certainly never ran on linux. But I just think it's being forgetful to call this a new innovation.
But if you were worried about privacy and control, why exclude the baseband firmware? If one is powerful and malicious, wouldn't that be the ideal place to put surveillance tech?
If handwriting is desired, I generally would recommend against an iPad. I've been using one with a stylus, and the non-intelligent screen just doesn't work well enough.
A friend of mine has a convertible X-series thinkpad, and it's great for them, with intelligent built in stylus + OneNote.
So, given that I was 'raised' in the Linux tradition in a sense (lies, but not germane), could you elucidate on what you mean by the differences between the Linux FS style and UNIX style?
But I'd like to still have a conceptual difference between/usr/bin and/usr/local/bin; Perhaps support local, but mirror it's contents into/usr/ using symlinks.
I want to be able to install software from source, then wipe it all in one fell swoop if I'd like, which could be done with a mirrored/usr/local.

My favourite part of the whole thing:
Damn straight.

Agreed. the diagram was a great thing to see, and mostly covered my question too.
but google dissuaded me of that with one minute of their "in the life of" video.
Do you think a program of the size of the Apollo program could kickstart fusion to general availability? Or would a rather smaller program suffice?
Is fusion power going to be feasible in the next 60 years (extrapolating my expected lifespan)?
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree on 'A Canticle for Leibowitz'.
'A Canticle for Leibowitz' is self-indulgent tripe.
No vote on Hunger Games, haven't read.
Just needed to balance your comment out.

Veridian Dynamics is working on it .
I missed that. Found the PC pro article, and one from omgubntu, but didn't see the original Shuttleworth announce.
Heaven knows I wish he hadn't mentioned Minority report though.

I think the idea's a lil bland, I mean ... yay you put some free apps they could go get anyway.
Ditto: Results in Present Face.
Kudos on retracting. Manners on the internet. Whoda-thunk.
Fair point.
But if you were worried about privacy and control, why exclude the baseband firmware? If one is powerful and malicious, wouldn't that be the ideal place to put surveillance tech?
But if you're worried about privacy and control, doesn't it worry you about what can be hidden in the baseband?
If I were a government of power, trying to add surveillance tech, that's where I'd put it!

Honestly that's the first time I've been Goatse'd in a long time. Thanks for refreshing my memory.
I never understood overlaid directories until now. That actually sounds fantastic.

Interesting; That's not how I'd understood opt, but good point.

Boy I hope someone mods you up.
Yep: as evidenced by my UID, too 'young', and definitely don't browse beneath +2 unless moderating.
