I think the Apple lawyers will be too busy to be able to go and have a field day. At most, I think they'll have the time to have a movie-night, but barely even that.
...but now we primarily eat whales, tourists and drink oil, so we're still largely carnivorous. Sometimes, though, we supplement our dinners with some vegans, just to keep the diet balanced.
I'm kinda disappointed that an updated line of MacBook Pros wasn't announced. (With the new 64-bit Core 2 Duo CPU, I mean.) I'm waiting for that one before considering upgrading my 1.5GHz Powerbook. To be fair, the Powerbook should probably last another year without any big problems. Even though it's not exactly the best computer for running Matlab on...
IIRC the first such mouse was designed by a Norwegian company. (The mouse looks exactly like the one 3M makes, so I guess they licensed the design.) Anyway, to lend some credit to your excellent observation, I can add that "mouse" in Norwegian is in fact a common slang for the Holy Grail of Objects Unattainable to the Average Slashdot User: the female reproductive organ*. Taking this into account, it's hardly a surprise that it was invented in Norway.
BTW, this gives us the euphemism "ergonomically mousing", which helps relieve some of the strain of the old euphemism "left-handed mousing". Well, I'm off to do some "flight simulatoring" and get to bed**.

I absolute love KDiff3, which is originally a KDE application. (It works just fine on the Mac as well, though.) It's fast and I really like the way it shows the differece between files or folders. If there really is only one character difference on a line, it will indicate that there is indeed only one character difference instead of showing the usual full-line replacement that the other diff programs I've tried do. You can also compare three files/directories, hence the name KDiff3. Check it out!
That's a funny joke if you forget that the only other country in the world who do commercial whaling is indeed Norway. Actually, in Norway we hunt and kill primarily animals that other countries try to preserve, such as whales, seals, wolves, bears, etc.
In related news, I expect the season on driving-in-the-middle-of-the-road-in-a-huge-ass-RV -at-20-mph German tourists to open in late August. Apparently they have to see ALL the nature we have here in order to get a decent ROI on their vacation. Taking into an account that gas costs more than fine wine here, you can't really blame them, though. And by "wine" I mean "blood wine". Made from whale blood. Or puny tourists. Kaplah!
They are brand new Linksys WRT54GL or Buffalo WHRG54S routers, which means that they are good quality and fairly expensive units. I think this is a great idea.
Well, in some cases you really need double precision, and even higher. I just finished my Master's thesis, where I ran into problems due to double precision not being good enough.
When you have high-precision spatial data, such as 16-bit MRI images, the Fourier domain data really will need a lot of precision. Remember that each element in Fourier domain is a weighted sum (using phase-coefficients) of all the pixels in spatial domain. Most of the time, 64 bits is plenty enough to adequately describe the image data, but in cases where you have very small angles in the phase-component you may end up losing information. Since the FFT and IFFT (inverse FFT) use cosines and sines to perform the transformations, a very small angle will not be calculated correctly. Remember from calculus that for very small angles theta,
sin(theta) ~ theta
and
cos(theta) ~ 1
which can lead to round-off errors. The round-off errors can then accumulate and cause problems.
I'm not sure how interesting my answer was, but that's at least an example of what can happen.
The extrapolation was done using the enormously powerful algorithm that are used in law enforcement (X Files, CSI: Miami, etc) for zooming in on digital pictures. This algorithm can easily extrapolate a handful of pixels into gigapixel images. Don't mock what you don't understand.
they created OS X and they have the right to do with it as they please.
I hate to be pedantic, but I think you mean "They created parts of OS X". Don't forget that large portions of OS X were taken from FreeBSD and not at all created by Apple.
some of us like having machines that run really well to use as tools to do work and not spend our days working on them.
While some actually like to fiddle with their computers. Don't really see the relevance of this statement, though. It's kinda like me saying "Some of use like using proper capitalization in written discourse."
You're forgetting that the higher resolution will finally make it possible for the BBW acresses to fit into the frame entirely. If that is a good thing is entirely up to your preferences though...

Indeed. There's more Ballmer bashing than you can shake a chair at.

By "stools", I assume you mean "turds"? And why do they have poo on their hands? I don't get it.
Well, what else would you expect from a "crimson scythe" replying to a "one-eye-johnson"? It's bound to get ugly.
Well, at least their severance packages were nicer than John Wayne Bobbitt's.

Yeah, and hopefully the bacteria will kill off most of the lawyers, right? Whichever outcome, humanity wins.

I wonder if the porn industry's shift to DRM will accelerate the cracking of the DRMs? Maybe this will be a good move in the fight against DRM.
