  1. Archie - Prior Art ? on CMGI, Altavista Patent Indexing, Searching · · Score: 1

    Is the FTP search system 'archie' prior art to this type of technology? I'm sure I remember using it before the Web took off (around 1991?)

  2. Re:Lawyer: too little, too late on Microsoft Enticed To Move To British Columbia · · Score: 1

    Hmmm...

    $1M/day

    Bill could hold out for about 273 years then!

  3. Re:You can't really blame them . . . on Showdown With The Pinkertons · · Score: 1

    There is another memorable line from Dune ...

    'One who can destroy a thing, controls that thing.'

    We have talked to them.
    They did not listen.

    I think it's time for action . . .

  4. Perhaps there is a better use for all this money on Blind Sue AOL for ADA Non-Compliance · · Score: 1
    How much money is spent on law suites such as this?

    How much would it cost to make the more popular web sites PC?

    If all that money were put towards research into restoring peoples sight I'm sure it would do much more good.

    There have been some interesting developments in this area in recent months (capturing the images a cat can see from its optical nerve) and I am sure we could have artificial eyes within a decade or two if enough money were put towards it.

  5. Why Crusoe?? on Transmeta to Release Processor in January? · · Score: 1

    So, why is it going to be called Crusoe ??

    There must be a reason for this name?!

    It's years since I read the story but involved some bloke shipwrecked, washed up on an island, and meeting a native he called 'Friday'.

    Hmm...

    Or are they just playing with us?!!

    BTW: www.transmeta.com has changed! (And no, www.transmeta.com/crusoe.html and www.transmeta.com/crusoe/ dont exist!
