Hopefully this will serve as a wake up call to a few writers about backups. I used to work as a tech at a retail chain, and the number of people who didn't know what a backup was unbelievable.
According to the article, the new computer put out as a joint venture by HP and MS shows some similarity to the LCD imac (wide lcd, diode for button, etc). In fact, the system may be in violation of patents owned by apple. I want to see some screen shots of the new system before I decide if the system is really a bad copy or not.
Say you owned a one of a kind hot dog stand making $10 a day. Someone comes by and steals the hotdog stand away from you and it takes 8 years to get it back. The damages to you in terms of lost revenue is about $10*365*8=$29,200
Sex.com is probably making a lot more money than $10 a day from advertising. I'm not saying he lost $65 mil. in revenue, but should be compensated for any lost revenue. The other portion of the award was probably punative damages and lawyer fees.
Has anyone though about the Sony, Awia, and Phillips cd-recorders they have been promoting and selling? (i.e. http://www.bestbuy.com/HomeAudioVideo/AudioCompone nts/CDRecorders.asp?m=1&cat=3&scat=6 )
Will these be able to rip and burn or are all the consumers who buy these things out of luck.
In Space, since there is no gravity, the vomit will continue in the direction that you puked at the velocity of which it exited your body (ignoring friction with the air).
So, you couldn't choke because it will glide in midair until it hits something.
