Does this mean that if my doormat says "welcome" Then anyone is free to break down my door and take all my stuff? If a judge actually accepted this argument he should be removed from the bench. It never ceases to amaze me how much is allowed to occur with computers that noone would tolerate out in the physical world.
Funny that you mention Verizon (Formerly Bell Atlantic) Which is a decendant of Ma Bell. Back in the day you had to buy your phone from Bell. There was no option of shopping around for the phone with the features you wanted. If you wanted a phone you had to buy it from them. Trust me if Ma Bell hadn't been broken up we would all still be enjoying rotary phones.
I think I saw prior art on the dog/cat washing machine in Puerto Rico. I was in traffic caused by a carnival and saw a ride through donkey wash car wash style. As for this invention I'm sorry but no pet of mine will ever be placed in a device that looks that much like an industrial microwave.
Since as others have pointed out a kid would just leave it at home by "accident" or leave it where they are supposed to be the only good use I can see would be as a pet tracker if you have a dog that likes to run off.
In a quick scan of the summary of the bill I noticed wherever the copyright holder is refered to by a pronoun it is always a her... can't they even try to hide the fact that Hillary Rosen wrote this. Is it to much to ask to try to keep up the facade that our politicians aren't bought.
I really hope he isn't suggesting that you staple shut a paper bag and put it in the microwave. As one who has accidentally placed a foil lined paper bag in a microwave, I can imagine the flames will be impressive. Of course if you aren't using your own microwave then hey have fun.
It would seem to me that the fact that Swingline now sells it will kill the novelty of the red stapler. As one who has never undertood the act of spending vast sums of money on a product that wil be gaurunteed to be worthless in 5 years it would seem to me that if so many people are gonna run out and get a red stapler then the black ones will subsequently be the way to express your individuality. I guess I'm the cool one with my 70's orange bates 550.
As a person whoose sci-fi reading history is very limited and one who has never read any of your books, Why should I read yours? I would like to know why you would recommend your own work and why you would recommend science fiction in general.
Wasn't AOL Required by the FCC to open up their IM service as a condition of the AOL Time warner merger? Last I heard they were claiming technical difficulties but I can't find much info regarding this.
What I would like to see ISP's required to track is traffic patterns that are clearly emminating from a script kiddie or malicious program. If my Firewall can recognize a Smurf Amplification attack then they should be able to as well. A stream of identical traffic (aside from simple pings) or the signature of a known virus attempting to spread itself. While I know that it would be hard to keep up, but frankly I'm sick of having to waste my time telling ISP's about the illegal activity that is occuring on their network.
What makes no sense here is the fact that if you really want to go get a ton of super cheap bootleg DVD's there is no better place to go than China. A friend of mine came back with so many she hasn't even come close to unwrapping all of them yet and she has been back for more than a year. If we really care about copyright issues then China should be the number one target. I don't think we should be doing business with a country that has such horrible human rights violations either but on a protection of copyright level it doesn't make sense either.
I work for a small software company that has a windows based accounting package specificaly written for the hospitality industry. We have several linux server installations and have found them to be faster and more stable than the windows equivilant. We use Progress RDBMS as our backend and have had great results. With a samba share setup it looks the same to our support as well as our customers as a NT installation and it saves the customers a great deal on the up front costs. I am pushing to move towards a server appliance that can just be snapped onto a network but we are not there yet mainly due to the fact that we are unsure as of yet if the market would be interested.
I have never seen a tv ad for one of these devices. I have only heard about them through industry specific or geek outlets. How can a device like this take off when very few people even know about them. Marketing is the key to it all. The demographics for a web appliance would be people who don't want a complex computer and just want a functional device. These people by definition are not going to be getting the info unless you blitz them with ads during Friends. There is only so much of a market in geeks who want one so they can trick it out to do things it was never intended to do.
Given the movie Wag the dog was concerned with esentially Political PR do You see any Irony in the name of the website Microsofts PR firm has and the nature of the technology industries influence on current politics? While I'm sure there is no link it's almost too close to the truth.
it seems people are looking at this the wrong way

I am a relatively ignorant user of linux, I only know what I need to know to do the job at hand. But the way I see it this would seem to be a good way to centralise and standardise configurations. By allowing programs to access their configurations via sql calls and the user to change them through the fs then it allows for easier setups. Not to mention writing third party configuration utilities would be a lot easier it would seem. I may be way off the mark here but I see it as a boon to the administrator if the programmers choose to take advantage of it.
This could be a boon to GPL Software. If the software companies enforce these rules then the consumer market might just start looking for the alternatives that don't come with so many strings. It seems to me though that no company will be able to enforce these rules too strongly or the backlash will be tremendous.

we already have a hydrogen source a mere 1AU away.

there is also www.stgeorges.edu my esteemed high school. Seems only the Private schools got the pull (or cash) to get the .edu

The system requirements page clearly states that aduva is for Redhat 6.x and will not work on Redhat 7.0
oh so you are the kid who sets the password on display computers in the store and thinks you are all cool.
