They provide napkins, and you can wash your hands at the toilet! It is more that in a busy MD they want to keep the flow of the customers going, so if some people take up a few tables with their DS, MD will sell less in the long run in the rush hours (customer thought: No table again, next time I will go somewhere else: PizzaHut, YEAH).
Once they make patents like that, I am moving to china. It will completely criple innovation if that happens, turning a wealthy country into a third world country in no time at all.
Patents exist since at least 1594 (earliest patents I know of), probably earlier. Your patent would be pretty much expired by now. Patents were invented to make people publish their inventions, protecting them for a short period of time, after that time everybody is free to use it. That probably worked in a slower paced world.

That would be a good addition, maybe we could that run our own banners to promote your own favourable comments. Flamebaits/bad ratings would hurt earnings, and since (almost) everybody likes earnings, it would improve the quality of the comments to an unprecedented level.
My guess about the moderation on this comment in a javascript & graphics allowed comment environment: -1 (Redundant)
It looks so much like the eyecandy I have turned of in KDE and OSX since it does not add anything to my productivity (transparancy is nice, but after a few minutes it gets pretty boring). Maybe they added unix style mouse behaviour too, just for fun to see how people react on that.
Not every music stream is cut out to become big, not every artist (in any field at all) makes it big. So most people who do art in some way, pay pretty big money to be able to do so, compared to what they earn with their art (in response/respect for it, or cash). It is unfair though that the small artists, and anybody else using their recording devices in a legal (ie: not copyright infringing) way, to have to pay for it. The current charge on recording media, and in some countries devices, is totally ridiculous. It is like just fining everybody for speeding on an average price. For example: Last year 7mln speeding tickets were cited in the Netherlands, there are 7mln cars, so on average one per car, so lets just pay that ahead just in case you are one of those people speeding.
The problems from the music and film industry with copies should be solved by protecting them with a good copyright law, with copying maybe as a punisable crime. The record companies should loose any rights on being able to abuse networks like kazaa to monitor file exchange behaviour (They don't have the rights now to spy on people, but somehow the lawmakers/courtrooms except their intrusion in your privacy), and the lawmakers should use the standard way of looking for petty crime as what they do now in a shopping street: Patrol the music exchanges. Write a citation for not keeping the law (it is stealing as defined by the lawmakers, if opposed start & vote for the newly to be set up no copyright party with only one goal: abolish copyrights).
It is just time to normalize all the copyright issues and bring it under the standard way of business and goverment. The companies should appeal to the goverment to let some police patrol these digital exchanges, just like other people or companies have to do that when there is crime in their neighbourhood. Maybe then people will respect copyrights a bit more, prices will go down a bit on empty media, and small artists have a better chance since they can use stable file sharing networks without having to "worry" about the next network being taken down, and people having problems to find them again.
It is determining the state, which is a no!no! in quantum mechanics. Most likely someday somebody will find a way to prevent this problem. I think it is called the Heisenberg compensator in star trek.
Yes, people do not seem to want to have copies of themselves running around (by clone or copy), since this does not add up with creationism or god like figures. So this is pretty much OK with religion I would say: No copy, you just quantumshifted a few miles. It really sucks though if not enough B/C pair quanta are available, you will be completely transported (Blue screen of death: Quanta buffer overflow, not enough quanta available, please restart your system or vulcan neck pinch to continu). See it like this: Go bungy(?) jumping and lie about your weight (give a to low number). It will give you a headache or worse. In this case you will end up loosing some unknown parts. If lucky some fat, it not so lucky a random useful part. Most likely you will arrive in an undetermined state (ie a blob, watch enough star trek and it will get too you (-: )
That is the problem with quantum mechanics: It all looks terribly funny until you try to use it. The side effects are killers. But just read the IBM article which the grandfather linked too, it is pretty clear in describing it. They call it disrupting. Actually it is randomizing the quanta, which will result in a 50/50 state of the quanta in which 50% is left in original state (or ended up in original state) and the other 50% will be altered to the second state. This is pretty disruptive, effects of it are still theoretical too. I guess it will be nice shiny lights as in a transporter. The thing which they do not describe in the article though, is that you will end up with the start situation again (B&C are detangled and both in different places, thus just mirroring the descriptive image of IBM with your source and target switching from left to right), thus being able to transport the object back.
The looking at the datastream is not possible in current theory without changing (actually determining) the state of the quanta. By looking at it, you would either alter or receive the data at the place you are looking, and the other side would receive nothing or rubbish. I do not know the complete theory, look at wikipedia.org for more info.
That is because they compare it with sending a fax. They show that the fax machine they would device with this quantum technique would completely disrupt the original, while sending a perfect version to the other side, which would require the receiver to send it back to you again, again distroying his version, etc etc etc.. So at this moment totally impractical technique at this moment for faxing. The only usefull thing you could do with this, is like teleport a person, but since IBM is not in traveling, but more in business machines (hence the name), they will just not develop this since it does not add in a practical way to the bottomline of the company (read the article about 60 years of research department). The other problem with this teleportation is that it looks like to me that they need to transport a same amount of quanta to the receiver already from the entangled pair. Also this should be a specific entangled pair, else it would be received somewhere else. So at the moment you want to send a fax for example, it will go fast and very accurate, however, the preparation sort of takes all the efficiency out of it.
So will I see the frontside of the object on one screen, and when I turn the phone around to watch the other screen, the back side of the object? That would be pretty cool!
Step 1: Advise company to alter features in such a way that they can make more profit, and let them pay you.
Step 2: Find group of disgruntled customers and file class action suit, and let them pay you.
Step 3: Profit from step 1 & 2, with in step 2 the added bonus of a percentage of the settlement.
I see the infomercial in the middle of the movie already in front of me: This is Paul Jones, former frontman of the whatever music band. I have brought you the great collection CDs of the carpenters, and now I have for you the DVD of the movie you are watching right now. If you call the number in the bottom of your screen in the next 10 minutes, you will get it for $17 instead of the $24.95 usual price.
Wait a moment, watching at it like this: Is this PPV + DVD sale really new, or are we just fooling ourself.

Euro 357 for a HP 1500L and prices are dropping steadily for a while now. So not really expensive anymore.

My SuSE 9.1 survived it. Weird though that it would depend on the linux version. It might have something to do with the libraries in use.

Just get into a plane, and go and see it. That way you do not have to wait and see if it will become a success.
Maybe we should hold the glass producing companies liable for it.
Just doing tests to see if the software matches up with the specs is already tough enough for most companies.
