A system and methods for implementing education online by providing institutions with the means for allowing the creation of courses to be taken by students online, the courses including assignments, announcements, course materials, chat and whiteboard facilities, and the like, all of which are available to the students over a network such as the Internet. Various levels of functionality are provided through a three-tiered licensing program that suits the needs of the institution offering the program. In addition, an open platform system is provided such that anyone with access to the Internet can create, manage, and offer a course to anyone else with access to the Internet without the need for an affiliation with an institution, thus enabling the virtual classroom to extend worldwide.
Anybody else here agreee that this is a self-evident no-brainer webapp? I mean, Jesus Tapdancing Christ, aren't patents supposed to be for things that are "non-obvious"?
I'm curious as to how the Fourth Ammendment protects you from having your international phone conversation tapped by agents from the other country you are talking to.
We're not talking about agents of other countries, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AGENTS OF THIS COUNTRY.
...prosecution of a war...
No, we're prosecuting an INVASION. Being a knee-jerk Republican apologist, I can see how the distinction was lost on you.
The Constitution vested broad powers to the Commander in Chief in that case.
It does not give him the power to suspend the Constitution.
I've been running prime95 on my Windows machine for 6 or 7 years. I think it's WAY more useful and productive than SETI, and I'm not willing to use my spare cycles to enrich other peoples patent portfolios. I think being able to produce a nine million digit prime number by memorizing eight digits is a pretty cool thing.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
It's soccer moms scheduling "play dates" between karate and balet on their PDAs that's caused the "Death of Childhood".
If you want your kids to grow up happy: leave them the fuck alone.

HP's Dunn Stepping Down
·
· Score: 3, Funny
I know just what you mean. I remember years ago when the HP Field Service guys would come out, it was like a visit from the Federal Marshals they were so not fucking around. Those guys could glance at a hex error code on an LCD and tell you (from memory) that SIMM #5 had failed, or tell you that CPU #3 had failed by the taste of the dust on top of the cabinet. Then they'd go out to their trunk and get a new CPU card for your T500 or 847 or whatever because they remembered which model you had and brought one along "just in case"...
Those days started to die with Lou Platt; Carly killed and buried them; the current crop of clowns are just dancing on their grave.
How about a bazillion prewritten, documented, tested, standardized, open source library modules, many of them supplied by Sun with the language, to do bigmath/network/file/database/sql/2D-3Dgraphic/GUI /whatnot ops?
Tell you what, you roll anything trickier than "hello world" from scratch in C/C++, and I'll do the same in Java, and we'll see who has the choice of more predefined stuff to use, and who finishes faster with a program that runs more correctly.
Isn't Tom Bombadil, or barrow wrights or trolls turned to stone (which is gonna be hard to retcon); but the fact that "The Hobbit" is written (mostly) as a childrens book, and LOTR clearly isn't.
Don't know anything about Cell, do you? Here's the original press release.
And here's the ISSCC "opening the kimono" press release.
Funny, lots of talk about "supercomputer on a chip", no mention of PS3.
This application is EXACTLY what IBM has been talking about for this chip all along. And they did all the work.

"Insightful" heh. You're killing me here.

I'm sorry, which one of those links said you could turn lead into gold???
The accepted date is probably(July 4), certainly(1054), and the remnant can still be seen: the Crab Nebula.
And no, element 82: lead is actually heavier than element 79: gold, so you would have to remove protons and neutrons.
But thanks for playing, we have a lovely parting gift...

your == belonging to you
you're == "you are"
In Soviet Russia, artificial limb controls YOUR thoughts.
Where, exactly, did the framers do that? Please quote the article of the Constittion that states that.
Feh. Bush is "exporting freedom" in exactly the way Nikita Khrushchev exported Communism.
Oh, wait. He was evil, wasn't he?
No, we're prosecuting an INVASION. Being a knee-jerk Republican apologist, I can see how the distinction was lost on you.

In case you'd forgotten.
That's here.
Here ya go, sonny. Read up on Alonzo Church's grad student. "*" isn't "splat" in this context, it's the Kleene star.
You misspelled "carried".
They said they wanted us at /. to stop talking about child pornography.
daniil, you bastard, you got coffee all over my keyboard.
That's exactly right. We would just see the emergence of a "Wikipedia groupthink"; not unlike what we see on Slashdot, or University faculties.
As a Chicagoan, I have to mention that you left out:
4. Repeat.

Think harder.

Please tell me "Webtop" isn't a word now. I've almost gotten to the point where I can hear "Webinar" without audibly gagging.
I'm STILL irritated they never explained how the "Heisenberg Compensators" worked...
Geneviève Bujold was the first choice to play Nicole Janeway. That's female and French...
