Of course, "downloading" the music directly from a CD was simply too hard.
I was gonna mod, but I'll post instead.
When the GP said Most people didn't do it to cheat artists, they did it because they had no choice, the first thing I thought of is that it can be pretty hard to find music that I like where I live.
Searching for music and buying it online is much more convenient, and buying only the tracks I like makes so much more sense.
The dictionary doesn't translate French into Japanese. Well, English is more than good enough. And as a bonus, the dictionary works even when the toolbar is hidden. No more clutter!
Now is my first time to use Google toolbar (or any other browser toolbar add-on), and I find the dictionary superb!
I'm running Japanese firefox and it translates any English word that I hover my mouse on into Japanese. And Firefox doesn't seem slowed down one bit! The "magic" of AJAX, I suppose...
Now to see if it translates other languages into Japanese... ^_^
Quicksort by definition has an end state, that is, the sorted set.
Please clarify your definition of "algorithm."
I don't believe you are a computer scientist, either.
Besides Fractal Design, there are a whole lot of other patents which they'll have to dodge such as " 6,906,70 Electronic module for sensing pen motion" (Microsoft 2001), " 6,801,211 Computer painting system with passive paint brush stylus" (Forsline et al 2001), " Brush stroke palette feedback method for automatic digital \"painting\" effects" ( Silverbrook 1998), "5,432,896 Watercolor simulation in computer graphics " (AXA 1991), and "5,155,813 Computer apparatus for brush styled writing" (Wang Labs 1991).
Input devices and lots of other hardware projects are a pain to produce independently because of all these patents. So despite the low cost of actual materials (transducers, chips, etc), it's hard to start a small, creative hardware business because of licensing costs and other legal overhead.
I worked for one company where one of the senior people was asking candidates to give the big-O running time of reading a character from a file and putting it in a buffer repeatedly until EOF. When the buffer is full, you double the size of the buffer.
It's a trick question! This doesn't describe an algorithm, which by definition, has a definite end. This process is theoretically unconstrained (constrained only practically, by the file size, making it trivial/useless) (IANA CS graduate).
Why did they name the worm WORM SPYBOT.ID? Won't they run into copyright trouble with
Spybot the Anti-Spyware company? What if a worm was named Windows XP or Longhorn, or even Linux?
The parent is first to mention that Adobe DID buy Macromedia (for $3.4B). Adobe isn't exactly nice with its patent arsenal (which it used to sue Macromedia), and hasn't made known any intention to support F/OSS.
From the article: [Bill Gates] noted that many of today's attacks succeed not for technical reasons, but through social engineering: Users are tricked into downloading code that can damage their computer or breach its security.
I think this is reasonable, with Windows XP + SP2. IE warnings do tend to get annoying, so I prefer Firefox (+extension, e.g. flash block).
Looks like the vision of Captain Nemo from 20K Leagues Under the Sea. Wave turbines, gold extraction, and environmentally sound food gathering, Jules Verne recognizes that we are barely tapping the vast resources of the deep.

They're slashdotting slashdot?
Or *dons tinfoil hat* are they tracking the pages that I visit often?
1. Install the IDE drive into the FireWire Enclosure. In addition to opening the enclosure and putting it back together, this will probably involve plugging in two cables (power and IDE) into the drive and possibly (depending on the design) screwing in 4 screws.
2. Plug the enclosure into the Mac Mini using a FireWire cable and power.
3. Format/Erase the drive using Apple's Disk Utility...OSX may prompt you depending on how the drive setup. (You'll lose any data on the drive during this step.)
4. Clone the internal disk to the FireWire Drive using Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC)
5. Change the Startup Disk using the System Preferences Startup Disk control panel
6. Reboot
7. Make sure everything went well, do some testing to make sure everything is working and all your data is on the new drive.
8. Erase your internal drive to avoid confusion of duplicate files.
Either that, or he's just trying get you to mix up the steps and erase both your drives.;)

That, and I don't even know if headerless .com files are valid anymore under XP's CMD.EXE.
Heh, they still work!
Well, any OS that ships with some development tools would more or less permit trojans and virii. :-/
Reminds me of the concept DOS "virus" during grade school:
Except I've never bothered to write viruses 0:-)
2. Kill the pooch.
3. Bring it back to life.
4. ???
5. PROFIT!!!
Zombie cloned dogs anyone? :-)

I just hope they keep these features free.

Cost cutting is performed on product testing.
Crippled products undergo a likewise stripped-down battery of tests. Savings are especially tangible if you're budgeting QA.

Simple: Let it happen. This should drive salaries up, then more students will want to take up Computer Science.
with OSS/Linux as the Virgin, or the Monk? Well I guess "virgin" and "monk" aptly describe the geek population ;-)

The USPTO is either extremely dense not to realize the obviousness of this patent,
Or
they're being greased my Micro$oft.
