I really like the way Florida keeps track (and publishes) information about how much companies pay lobbyists. I wish my own state did half as good a job at Open Government.
This is the best quote I could find. No mention anywhere of the actual patent numbers involved.
The infringed patents cover technology that translates calls between an Internet network and the standard telephone network, call-waiting features and wireless fidelity, or Wi-Fi, handsets. Vonage was cleared of infringing two patents related to billing systems designed to prevent fraud.
"Because the wavelength is submillimeter, you may image through people's clothing," Chang said. "For example, it would be possible to remotely view if some civilian walking up to you has plastic explosives hidden under his coat."
Yah. I know that's what I'd use that technology for.
The researchers first generated a voltage-controlled CMOS oscillator, or CMOS VCO, operating at a fundamental frequency of 81GHz with phase-shifted outputs at 0, 90, 180 and 270
degrees, respectively. By linearly superimposing these four (or quadruple) rectified phase-shifted outputs in real time, they ultimately generated a waveform with a resultant oscillation frequency that is four times the fundamental frequency, or 324 GHz.
Sounds like there's room to scale, using this method.
Forcing people to accept a change in the license without telling them? Definitely unethical - kind of like forcing people to accept Windows Genunie Advantage if you want patches.
GP is right, it's NOT good news, it just breathes new life into something that is more description than theory. The Standard Model is just a "good story" of how the universe works, akin to the "earth, air, fire, water" model of elements (albeit with more predictive power) that was replaced by chemistry.

There would have been no cheap Linux today if Microsoft hadn't flattened/commoditized the computer hardware market by the start of the 1990's.
That's a really interesting notion, but I don't think it goes far enough. Back in the day, "IBM-PC compatable" really meant "Lotus 123 compatable", and/or "Microsoft Flight Simulator compatable". The only serious hardware need for *NIX is a hardware memory manager, which was basically in place with the 386, and certainly complete by the time of the Pentium. We really should say it was the hegemony of the x86 architecture that gave us cheap Linux; even though it was because Windows was x86 only.
But eventually the open source world won, by producing Javascript libraries that grew over the brokenness of Explorer the way a tree grows over barbed wire.
A beautiful turn of phrase, but he's forgetting how much barbed wire Microsoft has laid. Not just Outlook and IE and Word and Excel and Powerpoint, but the way IE renders HTML, and the.DOC format, and billions of lines of Excel macros, and hundreds of millions of vapid PowerPoint presentations. It's like the legacy Cobol codebase - it's never going to go away until some watershed event like Y2K makes it go away.

You'll note that I didn't say you couldn't learn anything from Wikipedia, but citing it (except on /.) is valueless.

Yeah, you must be tired. Which OS do you think it runs on?
Oh, so what? It's just a goddamed piece of paper.
No, it's the number of people who still think he's doing a decent job.

Well, if you call it GNU/Linux the way RMS wants, you'll realize that the GNU part (at least the non-LGPL) almost certainly will be GPLv3.
