So JavaScript-based RSS feeds violate the patent, correct? The HTML is served from one or more possibly distributed servers while the owner of the RSS feed has control of the RSS feed's content.
I can see using it for some program data formats, but for one reason only: upgrading old file formats to a new format via XSL. In practice, I'm unaware of many software packages that do this, though.
Luckily, gun rights are something that are easily re-granted through the court system and by future administrations. Economic and foreign policy, on the other hand, are much harder to fight for and to correct past mistakes.
99% of code can be translated from 2.6 to 3.0 with the 2to3 tool. I imagine it is just another step to add in the "publishing" phase of building your project, e.g., (1) Checkout from source control (2) Install local changes/configuration files (3) Run 2to3 (4) Done.
Most registrars (all?) allow you to migrate domains and carry over your purchased time. For instance, if you renew slashdot.org through Moniker from GoDaddy and your GoDaddy domain expires on 2010-01-01, your new domain under Moniker would expire 2011-01-01.
Ok, then we circumvent the whole financial risk model and let the government assume the risk (once the budget is balanced). In exchange for developing the drug, the company makes a very modest stipend above their research costs (which are made 100% transparent & public). Once a drug passes testing and is approved, the company earns a large financial bonus and a small stipend whenever the drug is produced. If the pharmacy research company also manufacturers drugs, they are given preferred contracts to produce at-or-slightly-above market price.
This way the government -- aka, the people -- own the rights to the drug. The pharmacy companies still make money, and everyone can be happy.
Actually, yes. With a generic biomass to fuel process, nearly any biomass could be used, including human corpses.
With the rising cost of funerals and cremation services, maybe the burial method of choice in the future will be in the gas tank of your grandchildren.
Anyone have the previously GPLd source they could share with the rest of us?
From the various screenshots and etc that I've found, it doesn't look like anything groundbreaking. Am I missing something, or are all of the features already covered by other media libraries?
There's a flipside, though, when a company is small. Small managers can still do things hands-on. It can also be rewarding to be in a position of decision, particularly if you are managing a team with great ideas. You get to pick which great idea to implement and how. Unless you're a manager managing other managers... then all bets are off.
On the other hand, have you asked about creating a team manager position? For instance, if you have 4 programmers and 4 system admins, what about managing your team? You can get some of the prestige (and money) from management but still be directly involved.
It's hard to find carriers/phones these days that are simple. It took me four separate calls to AT&T to get text messaging turned off on my phone. I was sick of paying for text messages from friends and from people I've never heard of. 10 for "hey dude whats up u want to grab coffee lmn" is ridiculous and a complete distraction.
I'd give up my cell phone completely if my work permitted it.
We power down every night. The Dell desktops we use all come with wake-up functionality built into the BIOS. Wake-on LAN is another option. The BIOS is set to boot up all computers at 8:00, with automatic updates set for 8:10. Everyone else gets in around 8:20 (office opens at 8:30). The printers all hibernate automatically. During the day they go into low-power mode after about 30 minutes of activity, after 6 p.m., they do so after about 5 minutes. I turn off lights before leaving, too (I'm the first one in and last one out most days).
For checking status, there's no need to be connected directly to the internet. Have the internal computer network pipe status signals via an omni-directional serial cable to an Internet-connected server that outputs status and pretty graphs. Hell, if you wanted to eliminate the physical connections altogether you could do it via radio or short-range infrared signals. If your Internet server gets compromised, the worst that can happen is a hacker seeing the vitals of your plant. A security risk still, but certainly mitigated versus a full connection.
I really wish vendors made better use of scheduled tasks for update checking. Java, for instance, installs an at-logon time update checker. There's no reason that they couldn't schedule a task every 3 hours to do the following:
1. Star the updater app. 2. Check lastupdatetime.dat. 3. Has it been more than a week since I checked for updates? 4. Yes it has - check now.
The updater stub can be very lean -- a few dozen KB at most, and launch a heavier-duty updater as needed.
Everyone wins - the system stays up to date and the user doesn't get bogged down with retarded logon applications. Best of all, the user can change update checks - or disable them entirely - from one central scheduled tasks panel.
This will stop no terrorist. Period. Terrorism is not solved by cracking down on citizens. Terrorism is only solved when you solve the underlying problem, e.g., typically a bad relationship between two cultures or groups. If we actually worked productively on our relationship with the middle east instead of being hypocrites and supporting terrorism ourselves we are practically begging to be struck again.
Look at it this way: if Canada was supplying the South with weaponry to stir up tensions again to force another civil war in the US while at the same time decrying the London bombings, wouldn't you be a little pissed at Canada?
Now imagine that, but stretched over decades from the United States, and hundreds of years from multiple European monarchies throughout the last thousand years.
Am I trying to justify it? No. However, a bit of understand would go a long way to improve out relationships abroad.

And movies, including DVDs, HD-DVD, and Blu-Ray. If your local library doesn't have it, they can likely get it from another library.
I didn't say their patent wasn't valid, I was just asking a valid question considering I know of a few sites that use them.

I bet you could get some great thrust out of such an afterburner. I wonder if it would be Amish-compatible?

Because the FCC can now approach Congress with: "Look! We made $XX billion last year for you! We need some more money."
Congress, of course, won't realize that these auctions are a very limited-use thing. They can't re-auction them every year.
Don't forget you can throw Jeb after 16. By then, Chelsea will be ready to take the thrown, with a Bush twin coming right after.
Simply terrifying.
I assumed that would be done as part of a testing and QA. So I guess that's more like (0.5) and (3.5) would be smoketest.

No, it just means Microsoft can make Firefox insecure like IE used to be. Hooray!

Particularly his little mailman outfit, right? He adores it!
404 when loading the publisher's website... I wonder if it's written in PHP?

I dared to click the link, and my brain died a little from the bad puns. Thanks a lot.

Sorry to rant.
