Serena Altschul from MTV News also started there. I wonder what happened to the Channel 1 guys who used to go to the real rough spots like Chechnya. Kathy Kronenberger and Hicks Neal are the only names I remember.
A well-known mathematician was moving house with his family. His wife knew he would forget, so she wrote down the new address on a piece of paper which he put in his pocket. During the day, as per usual, he had a brilliant idea, searched through his pockets for a scrap of paper, did some quick calculations, then realized his idea was wrong and tossed out the piece of paper. When he returned home that evening, he walked into his now-empty house and began to panic. He suddenly remembered that his new address was in his pocket, but could not find it, as he had thrown it away earlier. Distraught, he went outside and saw a little girl riding her bicycle on the sidewalk. He stopped down and asked, "Excuse me, but you may know me from the neighborhood. It just so happens that I've moved house but forgot the address. Do you know where it is?"
The little girl replied, "Yes, Daddy, Mommy thought you might forget."
It was 1934, the height of the Depression, when Charles B. Darrow of Germantown, Pennsylvania, showed what he called the MONOPOLY game to the executives at Parker Brothers. Can you believe it, they rejected the game due to "52 design errors"! But Mr. Darrow wasn't daunted. Like many other Americans, he was unemployed at the time, and the game's exciting promise of fame and fortune inspired him to produce it on his own.
the purposes for which Fair Use is defined. (Under Fair Use you are entitled to use a portion of a copyrighted work, not the whole thing.)
Fair Use is not defined as a list of things which are acceptable. The US Copyright Office explains this here, and the relevant section of the copyright law which I believe you are referring to reads:
"the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."
If this ever got to court (which I doubt would happen if they respond quickly to requests to expunge) then they could probably argue that they fall under scholarship or research, but they don't even need to. Other purposes may be considered as well.
The performance of the new machines sucked for quite a while. That was when we went from a 68k running at 66MHZ going to a 100Mhz PPC 601 chip. To be honest a 33Mhz 68k "seemed" faster than a 100Mhz PPC chip.
Moving Mac OS 7 from 68K to PPC was not a simple recompile. Much of the Mac Toolbox and System 7 itself was 68K native. By contrast, I don't think as much of Mac OS X on x86 will be running as emulated PPC instructions.
One thing? Which would that be? IBM makes hardware from servers down to semiconductors. Their software line spans PC development tools, RDBMSs, operating systems, and groupware.
it would be very clear that you were getting a "Mac by Dell" rather than the real thing.
I don't think Apple would be keen on that. They already have numerous manufacturers of other PCs building their systems, which are then rebranded as Apple with no trace of Asus or whoever it is.
Unlike the switch to Intel, which is simply moving their brand in a different direction, letting Dell sell computers featuring OSX would actual water down their brand, which I don't think they are willing to do.
Maybe. I certainly don't believe that both organizations could ever see eye-to-eye on such a deal, period.

Last night I dreamt I was controlling my cats with Objective-C. If only it were true.

This is a supposedly true story:

During the day, as per usual, he had a brilliant idea, searched through his pockets for a scrap of paper, did some quick calculations, then realized his idea was wrong and tossed out the piece of paper.

The mob will always come by to astroturf around my posts, it makes no sense that the same mob would mod this up.
Apparently you don't realize what I said if you think there's only one mob.
I'm not sure when trademarks expire, but wouldn't you be able to make copies of Monopoly money for personal use anyway?

Both. You and those who make similar comments need to realize at some point that different people on the same website can have different viewpoints.
Ce n'est pas possible. Your correction needs its own correction!
I think you should ask a lawyer!

That's why it's newsworthy.

I don't think the Riddler would be very interested in creating his eventual nemesis. Of course, that didn't stop Mr. Glass.

Worse? I'd love to live in one of those things. Hell, you could even ship me overseas!
US reduced to second world nation status
We'll suddenly align with the USSR?
Red Bull just bought a Formula 1 team. Considering the visibility of that sport, it's not very difficult to see why their brand has skyrocketed.
thanks for the NWS warning, bud
CD changers are much more likely to fail since they so many moving bits.
No, it's really a secret project to making covering Kraftwerk tunes easier.

Apple contracts Dell to build the new x86 Macs, and licenses Dell as a Mac reseller. Everything still has the Apple logo, but Dell gets a cut.
that would be audible feedback, not tactile feedback.
Zeta OS doesn't have Java and Flash
One of the things that really soured me on BeOS was that they advertised compatibility with Java and Unicode support throughout the OS.
There was barely any Unicode support and the OS shipped without any Java VM.
