MS has bought a lot of companies that competes with them. It bought Great Plains, Visio, Connectix, WebTv among other companies. Perhaps these companies are just competing long enough to be bought out. MS one time tried to buy Intuit. There are rumors that MS would buy Nintendo if given the chance.
One day I hope to live in the MS Brand Trusted Computing house run on Windows, playing Super Mario on my Windows based Television, paying the cable bill to MS cableboxes, as my Windows based robot gives me a massage.
Yes but the rest of us dumb people like to be told what to think.
Slashdot told me that Real and Microsoft are bad. And Apple good sometimes. I think this week, I'm supposed to hate Apple, or hate Jobs.
Next week when Tiger comes out I hope Slashdot tells me to love Apple again.
The shape of the hard drive accessory is functional as it reduces the foot print of the hard drive to match the same shape as the mini mac. Trade dress cannot be functional. Coca Cola bottles can be trade dress because the shape of the bottle is not functional and the coca cola shape is a distinctive shape. A rectangular shaped hard drive enclosure does not in itself show that Apple made it as hard drives were often enclosed in rectangular boxes. There aren't that many alternatives. Some companies have trade dress for color like UPS has for brown. But it's unlikely that Apple can claim white as trade dress, as white is used by other companies in their computer products.
Drug possession offenses are strict liability offenses. Meaning no culpability is required nor intent. See for example of a man who bought a car from the feds that still had cocaine in it charged with possession.
Other examples of strict liability are speeding,and having sex with a minor.
You are right though in stolen possession cases, you must know or have reason to know that what you have is stolen to be charged with possession of stolen goods.
From what he told me, being an MP in the Airforce is really boring. I guess Kazakstan is not really that fun. He left as soon as his enlistment was up. I was sharing an anecdote. That yes people who work at mall security do have military experience. Just because they do doesn't mean they are some badass. It was just another job to him until he got another one that paid better.
I knew this guy who worked at a certain downtown indoor Seattle mall in secruity. He was an ex MP in the Airforce. He decided he didn't like it so much so he ended up getting a job at a high end clothing store in the mall.
I think that we should pick two new candidates. Picking between a douche bag and a turd sandwich is way too hard and people will get confused again. There are many Washingtonians they are perfect for this position. I nominate Sir Mix-a-Lot.
Yes, I said with the Korean alphabet generally is shorter than Japanese characters. However, Japanese uses more Chinese characters than Koreans. As such I offered that perhaps in the Japanese language since more Chinese characters are used that it would take less space than Korean language. However as since I have only done a cursory study of Korean and Japanese I can't say which is shorter overall. And only offering a theory. Japanese also provides each syllable as each character. So I'm not sure where you are going with that one.
I agree with what you said. Hangul, was not used for diplomatic, or official documents until the 20th century after occupation of Japan. I guess the way I wrote it was not clear. Also during that time Hangul was changed and kept underground because of the Japanese occupation.
I am also aware that Koreans are trying to get rid of some of the words that are based on Japanese such as daikon which is pronnounced Dak -gwang.
Also I'm also aware that there was also a push to introduce more Chinese characters in street signs to increase Japanese and Chinese tourism in Korea.
I also suggest that you go learn more about your country. If you learned Korean history in Korea it would be definitely be biased. If you learned Korean history in America then you know about the same as I do.
My dad used to tell me the story. So if you have problems with the story go discuss it with my dad. It's like any other true story with mythic elements. Newton discovering "gravity" by sitting under a tree. Does it make his contributions to science any less great. I don't think so People can tell the origins of Hangul from reading a history book. I am just sharing something that I learned when I was a kid.
As aside, most formal documents were done in Chinese characters up until the Japanese occupation in the 20th century. During which scholars working underground saved hangul until liberation by the American forces in 1945. Thus afterwards, all things Japanese related were considered wrong. So currently there is less reliance on Chinese characters than in many years pass. So to put this thread more on topic. Japanese books with more Chinese characters might may take less space than Korean books which probably have less Chinese characters.
To clarify, the story I was told when I was a kid was that King Sejong did invent the Korean writing system. But the shape of the each alphabet was based on either the shape of the leaves or something like that. Also the story goes that he invented for the benefit of the common man because Chinese was too hard.
I was refering to the legend that the Korean alphabet was based on leaf shape. No it's more similar to saying, according to legends, the Constitution was based on the goverment of the Iroqouis nation or that Ben Franklin used a kite to discover electricity.
See how ridiculous it is? There is no such legend, and there is no _need_ for one, since we already know the true (more or less...take a scribe's "error" or two) story.
Don't be mad at me coz your daddy never read you bedtime stories.
All Korean, used to be in Chinese characters until the 1500s. Legend has it that the Korean alphabet was based on images left on leaves or something. All Korean alphabets can be drawn with a circle, lines or a box.
In Korean, for each syllable there is one "character" which is a series of alphabets. For example damsa. Imagine 'd' 'a' and 'm' occupying the same space as one character, and s and a occupying the next space. So you have a five spaces in english, occupying 2 spaces in korean. For Japanese, it would be da mu sa. So Japanese would occupy 2 spaces. So if you counting amount of spaces I would think that Japanese would take less "spaces" than English.
I like this advice. You should get a life. When you die freeze yourself for 1000 years. Then you will wake up and you can open the capsule yourself. Make sure to deposit a penny in your bank account first though.

Don't you mean PowerCon. Although the only difference is the book comes in a aluminum finish and is a little bit lighter.

No, that shows how hated Gregoire is.
yes, hence the nickname OZ.

I don't know why you have a problem of calling it a legend. This site doesn't seem to mind calling it a legend. http://www.ikjournal.com/upload/200501/263.html

Not all Indians are Caucasian. Come Chinese are caucasian which makes things more puzzling and confusing.

That may be true. But I know that ones who knew Clippit intimately are allowed to call him "clippy."
It's a penguin damnit.
penguin = good
clippy = bad

At $1 a year for being CEO of Apple, Jobs has to be CEO of every single corporation on the planet maybe even other planets.
Wouldn't a yahoo or google have multiple backups in place. I dunno, I'm just thinking out loud.
