Ahh...and if you look at pixars "history" page under 1984 "John Lasseter leaves his animation job at Disney to join filmmaker George Lucas's special-efffects computer group, which later becomes Pixar". In other words Pixar used to be part of ILM.
I think the first movie done by what would become Pixar is Star Wars, they did computer readouts of the Death Star.
An unjust law does not demand being followed simply because it is the law. Our country has a history of unjust laws. Take for example the Jim Crow laws in the south. You state that you agree with the people who put MLK in jail. The people who turned dogs and hoses on protestors, civil protestors, not violent ones, simply because it is the law?
It is our duty as Americans to protest and commit acts of civil disobiedience when we believe a law is unjust. We must, of course, expect to be punished for our actions, but we must never fall blindly into the belief that we should obey and accept people punsihed under unjust laws, to do so is to sign away our freedoms one by one, because as many of you know waiting and writing to Congress to get something done, is not the most effective thing you can do.
Someone who is being punished under an unjust law is being unjustly punished, and you should not support punishing him, if you do not believe the law is just, to do so is hipocrasy.
I know its not street legal...and not really a civic...the point is you take anything to the extreem and it can be fast...taken to the extreem...just like this electric car is taken to the extreem and makes a ferrarri look practicle.
Properly prepared. This Civic will run a quarter mile in under 8 seconds. And go faster then 90 miles an hour.
What the article doesn't say is the quarter time...probably b/c by then the electric has topped out and the Ferrari has passed it. What about the classic performace mesurement 0-100-0...well it can't even do that. Plus the car is not street legal, it hasn't been crash tested yet. If it will pass its crash tests and run a decent quarter mile...then I will be impressed!
It is important to note however, that many of the people running cyberbuzz, including Matt, the head guy are alums, and thus it really isn't completely "student run" and would probably die if it wasn't for Matt.
You need xterm, mozilla, an image viewer, a mp3 player (optional), and fvwm2.
That idea is completely wrong. As a Mechanical Enginering student I know that this couldn't be any less true. Its time you figure out that IT, software, ect... people are NOT the only people who use computers for serious work. All the serious CAD stuff runs on unix originally (if not exclusivelly) and even the software that has been ported to Windows takes $5000+ workstations to run. Note these programs are not xterm, mozilla, an image viewer, a mp3 playwer, or fvwm2.
X is for xterm, that's good enough for me,
So xterm...? I couldn't do any of the work I need to do in an xterm...so no its not good enough for me.
Apple has a trade mark on both aqua and iMac, all apples trademarks are listed at this page.
Apple has usage guidelines for there trademark on their website. A relavent section might be:
1. Company, Product, or Service Name: No third party can use or register, in whole or in part, Apple, Macintosh, iMac, or any other Apple trademark, including Apple-owned graphic symbols, logos, icons, or an alteration thereof, as or as part of a company name, trade name, product name, or service name.
It should be noted that inoder to be able to inforce these rules against someone creating a competing product with Apple, they have to be inforced against places like themes.org
There is a big difference between civil and crimal cases...in civil cases you can be compelled to testify against yourself...thus you have to testify. Then again this wasn't a trial anyway, mearly the dispute settlement method agreed to when you buy a domain name. In other words he was under contractual obligations to respond, and his not responding was a basis for termintating the contract.
No Response was received by the Center from the Respondent and on September 25, 2000, the Center sent a Notification of Respondent Default to the Respondent by post/courier and by e-mail.(emphais added)
This Paragraph sets forth the type of disputes for which you are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding. (emphais added) Included in this paragraph is: iii. your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
I think the point here is that we don't know how the rulling would have went if the Respondent had done what is required of him as part of the contract he enters apon buying a domain. We cannot claim his rights were trappled when he himself will not assert them.
The site isn't really responding so I can't find out the answer. But what is the robot going to drive? I mean we are talking about cars that cost millions of dollars, and then to develop a car...that cost hundreds of millions. I don't think a team is going to let a robot "borrow" their car...plus in order to have a hope it would have to be either Ferarri or McLaren/Mercades...and I don't think Ferarri want a robot to beat there 20-30 million a year driver...and McLaren/Mercades doesn't want a robot to beat a driver Hakkinen couldn' t in there car.
There is another important reason Apple will not Open Source OSX, they really couldn't even if they want to. OS X is full of technologies that are liscensed by Apple, and in order to open source them, the other compaines would have to agree, which is not that likely, this was I believe the original problem with FreeBSD (AT&T owned technologies?) and with Solaris as well, and its not an effort Apple is going to make. For example Quicktime uses the Soreson codec, which Apple doesn't own. Quartz uses PDF, ect.
Here is my question, did Microsoft have a real defense? The public responce from Microsoft seems to simply deny, no we didn't do that. And the DOJ, the states, and the judge are all just plain wrong.
From the trial was freedom to inovate or something right? Which seems to me is justifing Monopolistic practices. So Microsoft was arguing that existing laws don't apply to the computer world, which really isn't a very good defense for a trial that is based on existing laws.
Did Microsoft have a defense to being guilty of monoplistic practices?
1. What it means is that most of the apps and such are ported straight form Free/NetBSD, so it contains most of the BSD tools. That being said there is some Apple software (outside drivers and such) like the Darwin Streaming Server which has binaries for FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris.
2. The Apple stuff is released under the APSL which has taken some heat from the community as far a "openness". But in the FAQ Apple says the Open Source Initiative has determined that the APSL conforms to the Open Source Definition. I leave it to you to decide who is right. I believe stuff that is pretty much a direct port (such as Apache, is covered by the original liscense.
but what exactly is the goverment's motivation (cowardice?) for making a deal? How is the MS situation any different from Standard Oil or AT&T?
You forget that in the case of AT&T the case dragged on forever (about 10 years) until AT&T settled it by agreeing to the break up of the company. Note the qoute In 1995, AT&T announced the largest voluntary break-up in business history. in this article.
You will see this technology on the desktop. Beyond the fact that the Power Series is related to the PowerPC series (IBM uses both in their RS/6000 series), multiple cores has been on the PowerPC Roadmap for a while. (Yes I know that is a rumors site. I have seen something similar on Motorola's site I believe, but can't find it right now). Yeah I know the info is a little out of date...but its just a matter of time.
How about JFK? They have his wife, his brother, even his dad...come to think of it there are no ex-pres's. I doubt they are immune to the FBI nosing around, maybe they just don't want to tell us about our elected leaders?
Driving home last night I heard a comercial for a.cc domain hyping it as the next.com. The comercial was for spot.cc a registrar for that top level domain. What is it? And is spot.cc the only registrar for it?
They probably just missed it. I say this because the guy who developes the Aqua theme for the macintosh also developes a "dark platinum" theme, and he got a cease and desist for both.

Isn't that basically Microsofts argument as to why its ok for them to be a monoply? That competition is not efficient in the software industry?

This is the only hit on "mcowen" a seach on the state of GA website brings up.
Go to www.xbox.com and you will notice they spell it Xbox, no dash mixed case.
Check out this. It cleary states that Darwin is running on top of Mach, and thus OS X is on top of Darwin is on top of mach.
