Don't all stock HSFs delivered with retail CPU boxes use thermal pads? I think just about any 3rd party thermal paste would be a better option, so it doesn't say all that much about the difference between a silver paste like AS3 and a non-silver paste.
The latest "target date" is for "a pre-release version" for Teron motherboard owners, and this was announced to be "early next year" (i.e. 2004).
Anyway, this was the 2003 Vaporware awards. AmigaOS 4.0 was not for sale in 2003, and the first announced releasedates go back to 2001. Ergo, it's still vapourware, even if it really is coming RSN(TM) this time.
I know this is not about indexing of webpages. That bit ("What's next?") was speculation on where this ruling could lead to, if it's hereafter supposed to be applied with consistency.
Neither Google keyword ads nor search results based on indexed pages/words abuse or infringe any trademark IMO.
If Adidas buys Google ads using "nike" as a keyword, I don't see how it's an infringement unless the ads are misleading by e.g. displaying the word "Nike" anywhere. Neither do these porn site ads claim to link to, or be affiliated with, Playboy.
If anything, indexed words could actually be even MORE confusing than ad keywords, as they make the sites appear in the SEARCH RESULTS (instead of as clearly marked and separate ads), often without a clear description!
As long as the advertisement doesn't claim to be from Playboy or advertising Playboy or providing a service/product named Playboy, what's the infringement?
What's next? Will this affect indexing? Can a porn site no longer use the phrase "Playboy(TM)" (including the "TM") anywhere on their site, because it might get indexed and lead clueless/illiterate googlers there, when they were actually looking for the site of "Playboy(TM) Magazine"?
Mmmmmmmmmmm, a "Funny" post modded as "Troll", because whatever overzealous slashdotters are supposed to be overzealous about happened to be at the receiving end of the fun-poking stick!

Yes, the Amiga is dead and buried. The story is a bit misleading.
"Port Mozilla to AmigaOS and similar/compatible OSes" would probably have been more accurate.
AmigaOS might get a chance to live on in version 4, on off the shelf 3rd party hardware, if the company that whimsically calls itself "Amiga Inc." would only give it a chance instead of actively doing all they can to kill it in its cradle. Then there's things like the API compatible MorphOS and the open source AROS.
And no, Lionel Ritchie and skinny ties have never been great.
While what you say is true for protection against physical theft, I don't think it's all that applicable here.
1: Hey, I like Kraftwerk. I think I'll share this latest Kraftwerk CD on P2P. 2: Awww, shucks, it's copy protected. Oh well, I think I'll start liking Britney Spears instead, because those CDs aren't protected.
3: ??? 4: Yeah, right.
Meanwhile, songs from both artists (well OK, the artists, and Britney Spears) end up on P2P because someone with a better-than-the-average-consumer clue WILL spend 2 minutes extra on ripping the protected CDs. And then all that's accomplished is that only the legal owners of the protected CD can't play it in their car, can't copy it to their portable MP3 player, and so on.

It was still a pain!

Slashdot Mirror
This is what some people seem to ignore when they say "who cares, if it works nobody needs the source code".
There are more operating systems out there than Linux, and these OSes (as well as Linux) run on many more platforms than x86.
Closed source drivers = if you want an nVIDIA card and 3D support, you're at the mercy of nVIDIA.
PPC/ARM/MIPS/blah Linux? Any other OS? Forget about it.
If these are standard astronaughts, ... These people are too smart and too well trained to throw away like that.
:)
Judging by the term you use, these people would be less valuable than astronauts.
Astronaughts: n. Expendable space exploration personnel sent on one-way journeys.
Hey, I've grown to like your misspelling.
What stock retail paste?

Actually, that infamous lie was "On Schedule and Rockin'".
But that was for the "AmigaOne PPC/1200", the development of which had already been suspended at the time of that announcement.
As you can see, AmigaOS 4.0 and 4.2 was "on schedule for release Summer of '01".
That's incorrect.
The latest "target date" is for "a pre-release version" for Teron motherboard owners, and this was announced to be "early next year" (i.e. 2004).
Anyway, this was the 2003 Vaporware awards. AmigaOS 4.0 was not for sale in 2003, and the first announced releasedates go back to 2001. Ergo, it's still vapourware, even if it really is coming RSN(TM) this time.
What's sad is that it won't be allowed to actually be for sale, ever, unless "Amiga, Inc." get a clue.
temp is between 5-15 degree's celsius.
From that fact sheet you linked to:
Average temperature: ~210 K (-63 C)
Diurnal temperature range: 184 K to 242 K (-89 to -31 C) (Viking 1 Lander site)

No, it's like BK paying the Yellow Pages to place a BK ad next to but separate from the McD entry.
There's no misuse of any trademark or risk of confusion, IMO. Same thing with Google keywords and Playboy.

Yes, but that's not a relevant answer to "Trurl's Machine's" question.
Terra Soft (YDL) do NOT sell any Macs without MacOS. Neither am I aware of anybody else doing so.

Well even seek times of even 100ms would be more than acceptable for playing back compressed audio.
That's impressive. I've heard of portable audio players with seek times of up to several minutes.
I think they're called "Walkman" or something like that.
Aah, memories... PRESS PLAY ON TAPE.

Let's get the Now You're Comparing Appls And Apples jokes out of the way.
What do you think astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) ate for Thanksgiving?
Uh... That question hasn't really kept me sleepless. Considering that you're talking about the International Space Station...
Well, now that the Spanish astronaut has left the station, Americans count for a whopping 50% of the astronauts aboard the station.
I.e. one guy.
Thanksgiving?

If only Microsoft and the [RI|MP]AA could try to be that kind of mah-brain-huuuurts stupid!
