The thing is if you asked a bunch of Patent Lawyers they would also give you the same variety of opinions as a bunch of geeks on/. and probably not as immediately understandable.
And bill you as well of course.
That's why things end up in the courts.
I thought IANAL meant you take it up the... Yep, both meanings are congruent.
The upside is: those people who can't grasp modern technology can still have useful lives as lawyers and civil servants. So whilst they are all sueing each other we can get on and build more cool toys for them to argue about. Look on it as a public service.
I once read or saw a SF story where some lady had some interesting genetic makeup. She ended up having to have guards 24 hours a day for fear of being chopped up finely to sell as samples to Bio companies.
Doncaster Metropolitan Institute of Higher Enducation was shortened by several of the lecturers to 'Dummy', the students being affectionatly referred to as 'Dummies'. They changed the name recently to Doncaster College. I think that was to do more with the embarasment of some tutors not knowing how to spell the former name.
Why not use Echelon to report to each Government how much each individual in each Soveriegn State has bought in each other Country and then the persons local tax office can send a bill direct!
They might even need some geeks to build a Beowulf to do the local processing!
I was on the train the other day and sat opposite was an American Patent Lawyer. Must have been a serious suit as he was in, well, the wrong country and not on holiday. (The invasion is not due for another few weeks yet.)
Anyhow, we got to discussing the Amazon patents, and just at the moment he was saying that he thought they were OK the Cook, who was collecting crockery, dropped a cup of tea on him.
Please can I request that the lovely instruction in a Pentium that does the n-bit shift in one clock cycle be in the core. Just so as I can crack RC5 quicker...
But if you want a lot of little pecks everywhere in the farmyard the chickens win... It can be as simple as looking at the problem in a slightly different way.
I was begining to wonder how I could get my daily Beowulf fix with all those other stories. People have been downloading it and CDs with it on are readily available all over the World.
I read of some chaps that took a hacksaw to a Kylie Minogue CD. The horrifying thing is that the result still played...
As to AOL CDs: (I also read this on a web page but can no longer find the link,) fill a bowl with hot water, then threading a sink plug on its chain through the centre hole, dangle the arrangement in the hot water. After a short time the CD starts to melt and droop on the plug. Lift the result out of the water and hang, waiting for it too cool down and dry. Once cooled, remove the plug and invert the now vase shaped result, insert a candle and give them as Birthday presents and stocking fillers to non-computer literate folks. (Don't, whatever you do, give them to someone who is computer literate, except Sysops or Admins of course).
I also give drums and other musical instruments to young children.
There was a study to discover if people who wear glasses have more car accidents. So as not to skew the results towards the glasses; (in that if you ask someone who has just had a car accident, 'Do you wear glasses?', they will obviously answer yes, for fear of being prosecuted for driving without eyesight correction,) they instead asked a broader question of the investigator to describe the facial features of the people driving. Again to avoid asking the question, they asked if things obstructing the drivers vision were apparent.
Well, they got the results back and did some number crunching on them and found, that surprisingly, the more facial hair the driver had the more likely they were to have an accident. They also found that the smaller the 'view circle', i.e. how thick and close the 'pillars' are to the driver, the more accidents they had, also the more stickers they had in the windows, again increased the chances of an accident.
All in all, they discovered that if you were on a motorbike about to cross at a T junction, and there was a driver you had a full moustache and beard, was driving a certain make of car with a certain religious sticker in the window, you just might as well put the bike down there and then, because, like it or not, the odds were that they were going to pull out on you.
So, to bring me to my point: this stuff about the beard soaking up the pint whilst in the act of supping is laughable. It is quite obvious to me that they are missing their mouths in the first place and spilling it. This is not due to the fact they have a beard, but is in the nature of people who want to wear a beard. None is apparent on their clothing because, yes, the beard does in fact soak it up. So the researcher has, by the nature of the questioning got the answer they want.
One of my boxes is a sad old DX2/66 and had only just managed to do one plan. Moving to 5-stubs instead of 4-stubs will stop me thinking that one had frozen.
So, mount a heat sink hey... 1) The versions shown were restricted in some way: when running flat out they need cooling? 2) The motherboard is for a different processor: so the pinouts match? 3) They put some holes in the board to give people with too much freetime something to think about.
In photosynthesis yes, and that is where the Hydrogen comes from originally. Later they use Anaerobic respiration to get at the Hydrogen. For the want of being boring, I can't see from the article what thing they have done that is new.

That's a quote from William Hague, the current Tory leader, from his speech to the Conservative Party Conference when he was a young lad.
Maggies eyes glistened as she listened to his words with a wistful smile on her face.
My 1930s Breitling Navitimer is showing today as the 30th!
HHGTTG went to 5 parts if I remember.

Poetic, don't you think?
But, what ever happened to Milli Vanilli
Does this mean that they'll have to repaint the garage blue?
Maybe they are infact a more 'Open Society'?

It is an Anglo-Saxon hunting party gathered around a large camp fire.
Oh-my-gawd even the Germans have one.

They've managed to embed iron filings in rubber. Forgive me but is this really new? I used to have such a toy when I was a kid.

There was Pascal for the BBC micro that came on two 16K EPROMS {:-)

With it being this small do you all think I could build a decent Beowulf in a cigar box?
