I wouldn't pay $20,000 for a few minutes of suborbital flight, even if it was a minor sum to me.
I saw the Discovery Channel program on the X-prize winning SS1 flights, and it was awesome. I would pay $200,000 if I had a few million dollars in my pocket, considering the only way to get into orbit is paying the Russians $20 mil.
Create a useful and unique web page/business, and you will appear at the top of the list. Anything else is just cheating, and it's exactly what Google is trying to prevent.
Work hard, play by the rules, and you will succeed in life. Those that cheat will never prosper. Cheaters never win!
Nice things to tell small children, but adults with IQ over 90 should know that it's not always the case.
A lot of people have useful and unique websites that have been in existence for years. Which come up on page 8 on Google search. While link-farmed spam sites with no meaningful content come up on page 1 and 2 of Google search consistently. Sadly, I am one of those people.
Anyone remember when the MechWarrior II multiplayer patch came out? You could play multiplayer on the internet using Kali (IPX to IP utility). I think it was 1996, the year after the game itself was released.
Lawn darts were banned in several states after a kid died from a neighbor's stray lawn dart that pierced his head. They pretty much became extinct soon afterwards.
Considering that we're discussing the Los Angeles fucking Police Department I'd say the question answers itself.... (Rodney King, anyone? How about Rampart?)
No, the fucking article is talking about Los Angeles County Sheriff's department, not the LA City Police.
The AC power was just an example. What if a modern day Tesla has an idea for cheap transmutation of elements, but he needs $billions in particle accelerators and other equipment?
"Second, if you lack the money to bring your product to market, what do you want the patent for? "
But if you don't have a patent, venture capitalists or potential stock buyers will not want to give you their money.
Also the definition of a "WORKING PROTOYPE" is a slippery one. Do you think the current USPO will be a prudent judge of that? What if your new idea for hot fusion is clearly more efficient than the existing methods, yet it's only a decimal point number on a graph? What if the head patent examiner disagrees with your numbers? What if some scientists say it works and some don't?
Like I said, simply throwing out all software patents, and business method patents, and internet patents (like RIM, one-click-shopping, etc) would be enough. No need to introduce even more radical changes when you don't have to.
You could have someone like Tesla, who conceived of the entire system of AC power generation and motors in his head, and who obviously could provide greatly detailed drawings and blueprints, and yet be unable to provide a "working prototype" because it would cost millions or billions to build.
I think just banning software patents and business patents is good enough. And also fire judges who seem too stupid to throw out patents that are just goddamn obvious.
Comic books, baseball cards, yes. Even cars. Because these things are enjoyable year after year.
PCs, on the other hand, are useless after about 4 years. Would you really care about that Limted Edition Spice Girls Logo'ed Packard Bell Pentium II from 1997? What would you do with it?
You got lucky, that's all. Some chips barely meet 300mhz and some chips actually rate 500mzh but get stamped as 300mzh because they needed more 300's. There is no way to tell which of these you get when you bought your Celeron 300. If you got the barely-300 chip and overclock it, you fry it. If you got the 500 chip, it runs great.
1) They feature "Satan Inside" (TM) 2) Their tech support people have horrible accents and you can't understand WTF they're saying 3) They fired the Dell Dude 4) PC prices have dropped so much that competitors like HP are almost as cheap as Dell, and often nicer 5) Frist Post
I also have no problems on my 2 year old XP Home system, which has never been reformatted/reinstalled.
That might be because I'm smart enough not to click on popup ads that say "Click Here To Optimize Your Internet Speed!" and so on, and also do not download and run files from pirate/porn sites.
Also I sit behind a $25 Belkin NAT 802.11b router. Other than that, just the simple precautions outlined above kept my XP humming along dandy for 2 years.
XP gets a solid B from me. BTW I dual boot SuSe 9.2 and I am not a rabid Billgates fanboy.
I also applied to Gmail beta for my domain, but NO RESPONSE FROM THEM YET. I'm assuming my domain was rejected for some reason.
Does anybody know another company that offers free webmail for Domains? I heard the name Microsoft mentioned, but no details.

No you can't. At least not if you're selling $20 widgets - the ncrease in shipping costs will eat you alive.
shock...
In America you can sue anybody for anything. Same with patents, apparently.
My Powerbooks is safe. Apple is so much more secure than ^.#$ pwned u n00b wahaha

Dude, go look in last weekend's Fry's ad in the Sports page. They are selling Toshiba 54 inch DLP TVs with true 1080p display for $2499.

Yeah dust kicks up easily, but once you have the lenses set up, you would make a point of not going around and kicking up dust near it.
Why would it collect dust?? There is no wind on the moon. The lenses won't collect dust unless something or someone throws dust on them.

I was thinking about using Windows Live (Hotmail?) for my domain email.
But forget it, no way I'm gonna use that if it won't work under Firefox.
