If aliens could come here, they already know we're here. In which case, we don't need a contact event, nor could we stop them, so it's a moot point. Invite them in, if the human race ends because of it, so be it.
Trademark is not the same thing as copyright. I'm fairly sure Microsoft doesn't have a copyright on Microsoft, but does on the source code to Windows, and has a trademark on both Microsoft, and Microsoft Windows.
Don't laugh. I had a hand in that port (worked at Parametric from 1994 to 1997). Pro/E could certainly use some modern user interface redesign, but the port from Unix to Windows was nearly perfect. Both interfaces sucked equally.:-D
And you have to admit, the whole trail file thing was a stroke of genius...
Pro/ENGINEER. Now there's a product. I've never spent more time in product training learning how to use the product than I did apprenticing under the developers learning how to write code for it. That thing was a beast. I once got a chain-drive assembly going with Pro/Mechanica and gave up. I once wondered why the product suite cost $20-$80,000 per seat. I found out pretty quick.
No, in the old days, she wouldn't have had a choice, she'd be pregnant with 6 kids by now, slave to some [group of] male[s] who provided her with food in exchange for [vicious] sex when and where they pleased, and could expect to die of old age or disease before she turned thirty.

Several musical and movie talents have done this, used courts to attempt to take control of domain names. Some like Juliaroberts.com (IIRC) were exploitive, but I've read of others who were just ordinary people who unfortunately happened to share a name with a whiney self-absorbed star.
I don't think I ever argued that tests or cures (methods and inventions) based on the human genome were unpatentable. Only that the genome itself was unpatentable.
Nothing there is to prevent me from detecting MS gene precursors with a test that uses genes X, Y, and Z but chemical markers A, B, D and F while Pfizer uses markers C, E, G, and P.
I thought this was the whole point of the Human Genome Project? Do the work of sequencing the human genome and make it public domain so it wasn't patentable.
That, and I thought natural discoveries were unpatentable?
But the real advantage of trusted computing is to make it so that you can boot a machine and be certain that it is not running any type of trojan or malware. </quote>
Microsoft said the same thing about signed activex controls in their browser, and look where that got us?
The #1 reason I don't use PostgreSQL is because I've no idea how to make it do NT integrated logins, and because the app I use doesn't use ODBC, but the SQL API directly.
Which sucks. I fucking hate this vendor. I wish I could spit in all their eyes and rub acid in them...
Hey shitheads, they invented ODBC for a reason, you know!!!
I think this is an urban legend spread from the days shortly after NT 4.0 got sparse file support in SP4 (I think), and SQL Server 7.0 SP1 or some such released with sparse file support before the OS function was even documented.
This also happened to be one of the reasons why the whole industry took Microsoft to task for introducing new functionality in Service Packs. Breaking shit and/or getting an unfair product advantage (witness, they're back at it with XP SP2...).

Convert? Geez, any of these ISP geniuses who have been paying attention would know that every version of Cisco IOS since 10.0 (at least) has had IPv6 support. There's no need to pay to upgrade to anything.
All of the Tier-1 ISPs definitely have IPv6 capable hardware.

Hypothetical:
How about the Saudi citizen who has information about possible terrorist activities who manages to upload his data to his CIA contact via steganography in digital photos as posts to his family blog site?
Or the CIA operative in some foreign country who learns that 200 pounds of plutonium has gone on sale on the black market and emails this to president@whitehouse.gov?
Or the Presidential aide who rats out a double agent in the Whitehouse?
There are reasons for anonymity. Mostly not, but in many cases, there are. Peoples lives could be on the line.
With the way you argue, you'd want to turn off anonymous police tip lines, too?

I remember that too... seems it stopped mid '96 or so. Wow. Thanks for the flashback.
Yes.

It is also important to remember that there was no provision for a standing army in the Constitution, as well.
Do they actually make a card capable of running doom3 in ultra graphics @ 1600x1200 @ 60hz?
And did anyone else nearly wet their pants when the first hellspawn showed up?

Patents, by their very nature, are the definition of "anti-competitive". Sue that! :-P

No, since 1976, the automatic copyright is life of the author plus 75 years upon creation.

In this case, it's profit.
Build POS system:
1. <cost of software for POS system>
2. <cost of hardware for POS system>
3. <cost of OS for software that runs POS system>
If they can put #3 in their pockets, they'll do it, even if it inflates #1 a little bit, since #1 is a one-time cost.
That is what McBride was afraid of. Linux is more compelling to SCO's users than SCO is.

Just wait two years for lindows.com to expire like hotmail.com did, and you can buy it back and try it out all by yourself. :-)
Oh wait, MS has the Lindows trademark now... you're screwed.
Dunno about your woman, but all the ones I've known have this built in "on" button... not even sleep will keep them down once sufficiently stimulated.
