No. "Not obvious" does not mean that multiple person cannot come up with the same idea if they think hard about a problem themselves. It is just that the solution must not be apparent. Like using the back of a piece of paper to double its storage capacity.

Well, ABS guesses that you want to brake in a way that leaves the car reactive to steering. Even if you do not manage to do so yourself. I appreciate ABS, you don't?
4) Set up an automatied process: Fetch the captcha and present it to visitors of some porn site. "Enter this text to access". Feed what they entered into the the ticketmaster website.
Removing the old useless cruft of the winner-takes-all voting system would be a good step towards break up the two party regime and introducing new dynamics.
Too bad this would undermine the power of the two big parties, so they have no interest in changing the status quo.
I agree that this kind of interview does not look like it finds the best candidates. The questions should be about (past) work behaviour in specific situations. You have to be able listen to the answer and close your eyes and see the candidate working on the job you offer.
No network guy writes sort algorithms, that kind of question is simply stupid.
Yet, this is only proof Google has a bad interviewing process, not that it has an age bias. Which does not mean that Google does not have one, it is just not proof of one.
Well, I was born two decades later, I firmly believe they you own it once you baught it and I agree that you can't expect the manufacturer to consider your modifications when he updates the device. It is a very nice if he does, but you can't blame him he doesn't.
For your analogy to be valid there need to be a "if unauthorized software present then brick the phone" routine in Apples update. Is that your claim? What is it based on?
A better car analogy would be: You buy your car, go to a tuning shop for some chip tuning. When you get back to your dealer for the next inspection, he fries the motor electronic because your custom chip does not play well with the dealer's diagnosis instrument.
You can't start blaming the dealer for that, now can you?
How does Opera Mini handle user-agent? I understand it also does a server-side transformation of a webpage. Do web developers serve a special version of the page to Opera Mini?
Well, you can rest your underarm on your leg, you don't have to point the remote like a gun. I also believe the Wii uses rather big click targets as it is optimised for standard TVs, not high resolution monitors.
And the Parkinson-patients can cope with the precision mousing needed on a "real OS" better? Genuine question.
Another nice thing about the Wii are the games. The Good Game vodcast had a story about the fun the people had and the social effects of Wii Bowling in a retirement home.

In that case: If the telcos did nothing wrong, they don't need a law extempting them from prosecution when they won't be found guilty, don't they?
Best thing: you don't even need congress to declare war anymore.
MS does not offer their core fonts pack on their website anymore.
There is NOTHING that some second person will not come up with independently. Now what?
I don't believe any of it unless Netcraft adds the Wii to its soon-dead list.

I expect them to bring in Quai-Gon Gin and Obi-Wan to settle the dispute any time now

And don't forget that in the library incident, a cop threatend to taser the people who merely spoke up against this unnecessary force.

And you know this because of
How about the hacks rely on a hole in a systems component to work. Apple fixes this security hole and the hack does not work any more.

No, not for listening but for performing for the pedestrians waiting at the traffic light without paying for performance rights. Obviously.

Judging from the image of the ticketmaster captcha at http://www.37signals.com/svn/images/optik.jpg, I am surprised they can sell any tickets at all.
If I was to buy tickets from them, I could really use any good OCR application the scalpers might have.

If you live in Florida, just say you felt threatend. And voila: you are of the hook. "Stand your ground", you know... What a great state...

You are talking about money, pay and jobs. But what about interest in knowledge and the subject matter? Is that a fringe aspect for americans?

Why would that bother them? Not even the President cares about them any more, they are just a goddamned piece of paper after all.
How can anything be a (trade) secret that is shown on a label on the product for anyone to see? That is not even a weak argument.
There is no need to conceal anything. Just use a mobile phone that has a voice recording application.

Good point about the mouse speed.

Clearing brush, of cause.
