There were also stories about card skimmers that do exactly what you're talking about, except it doesn't tell you what your card says, it just steals the info.:-)
Here's a few:

Ya' know, Google really is your friend!;-)
Maybe others have different opinions? Stop posting as an AC if you want anyone to take your opinions seriously. Stupid troll.
Anyway, to add some on-topic* stuff here, I would have to agree with one of the earlier posters, once a model is made and followed, the market would change and the model would no longer fit. Maybe someone could find a model that if followed, would cause the market to change in a positive way. Who knows anyway. Besides what would a positive change in the market be? It's all subjective.
*I've had posts before that were 8 levels deep in a series of insignificant posts that most people wouldn't read moderated off topic. So, just for my own sake here, I'm writing this.
I'll agree to that. The reason why I said it was a stepping stone was because of it being released in the middle, and because it is more powerful than the previous gen, yet not as powerful as the current gen. It's pretty close, but it would lose a contest.
A very odd message is displayed, mentioning something about in 3 days network throttling will erode. Maybe this guy's also a virus (well, worm) writer announcing his plans. I doubt it though. Probably just another whacko the internet creates every day.
I can believe it.:-) And the payload (in the form of batteries and motors) that would be necessary to move it fast enough would require that increase in size. Probably.
The new ones are 5th generation and have "WaveFront Technology" which improve laser accuacy.
"WaveFront Technology"? With that kind of excessive capitalization, it's gotta be marketing hype! Eh, other than that though, laser vision is pretty good, helped a relative of mine too.
It doesn't say that the surgery bit is bad, just that there are some pretty bad conflicts of interest. Mainly unlawful marketing practices. Hope this helps.:-)
It would have to go three miles in fifteen minutes, then fly into a building. It might be good for the flying into the building bit, but I've never seen a fast blimp.
Also, the original person could have modified it. What about making a website with some cgi on it, that you pass a website address to, and it checks to see if it's a.gov or.mil site, and if it is, appends the file with that file encrypted with that website's private key. Then gives the person a copy of that file. It keeps the original person anonymous, it allows for verification of accuracy, and, the website most likely can't be taken down for just making it easy to verify government documents.
Unfortunately, they can't do something like public key encryption. It would work, but it would make the person's identity known, which might not be desired;-).
I would like to mention, that I don't know if they really did know about it, but they should have. If an OSS project is sued by M$, that might be a pretty effective defense (IANAL though).:-)
Sure, M$ might have something! So what? Open Source will just keep rolling along. It might be painful at first, but, we'll still beat 'em. We've got more talent, and we've got more software. We've just got more power. Also, as other posters have mentioned, what could they attack us on?
Also, let's say HP knew M$ had patents that they could attack OSS on. If HP knew, M$ also knew. If M$ knew, and has waited 2 years before enforcing them, they've essentially given them up. You must make a reasonable attempt to enforce your IP, which means stopping it early, and not letting it go on, as opposed to just letting the damage build up. As they haven't enforced this IP, which they probably knew about, they can't enforce it now.
"Seriously, are you one of those conspiracy nuts who think everything is part of the government (or some ultra-powerful "shadow government") master plan to keep us all in line or whatever?"
Well, I don't believe in the shadow government bit, but I do believe that the government has found an opportunity, and is using it to it's full advantage.
Now just decide if the government's stable* now, or desires to become more powerful.
Really though, I don't think that any 1984ish thing will happen for a long time at least.:-)
*Not stable as in, won't collapse, stable as in, doesn't need to change.

Do you think the propaganda is against terrorists or muslims? I, unfortunately, have to say that a lot of propaganda in the media does not mention muslims being terrorists, but does equate them, as, terrorist==muslim. It's sad, but, what can ya do, but read/.?

Just to note, an average coal plant releases 88 pounds of uranium into the air a day. So, nuclear is much cleaner than coal. :-)

Well, the Dreamcast isn't really a current-gen console. It was more like the halfway point between now and the N64 and PS generation.
With supposedly 100,000 computers, the RAM alone could store the links to all of their indexed pages. Well not really, but you get my point. :-)
Since when was kicking people a way of validating their opinions? You are a true idiot.
Wow, you lost karma pretty quickly. It's kind of obvious why too. Give it a rest.
I should mention that this is on the ilovebees.com site.

We've probably read the same posts then. :-) That's sort of what I meant, I just didn't say it very well. :-)
Yep yep, I screwed up. :-/
Oops, well, I guess that's why I'm not a patent lawyer. I was really sure of that though. Hmmm, guess you're right though.
