Only the inventor can file for the patent. Not the company. If he chooses not to file, the company (nor anyone else) can on his behalf. He can be fired though.
I'm pretty sure that under GNU Hurd, hardward drivers resid in the Micro-Kernel, they are not "servers" per se. Please correct me if I am wrong (provide link please).
Well said, my friend. Couldn't have put it better:
To change it now would make him seem like every other mentally emasculated individual that lays claim to the role "man" or "male" but doesn't quite live up to any standard of integrity.
I, for one, applaud this gentleman for standing up to these pricks!
I think grand-parent was right. The article summary mistates the "...requires only 10% of the electricity...". I think the correct thing they meant to say, is that it is 90% more efficient, like my analysis above.
If we are currently 70% efficient that means for every 100 units of energy expended we manage to succcessfully "store" 70. So, we lose 30 units in the "storage" process. If we become 90% more efficient that means we will manage to store 90% of the 30 we were losing before, so, 70 + 30 * 0.90 = 97. So, we are now, overall, 97% efficient as opposed to 70% efficient, a 90% increase in efficiency.
Who the fuck cares about a couple of wheelchair users. This is such a bullshit argument and I'm sick of hearing it. The world doesn't cater to every little segment of the population. That's just the way it is. Get over it. Sometimes, we need to accept our limitations and realize not everything in the world is for everyone. The whole accessibility thing is over done and pointless. If reasonable accommodations can be made, then great, but if not, Fuck it! If a blind person can't enjoy my YouTube video, then too bad. That's just the way the world is! Grow up!
Sexual intercourse is meant to be an act performed in private for the two parties that love and care for each other deeply enough to create a stronger bond.
Where is the official manual where this is proscribed? I've never seen it.
When you put that on public display, the act is reduced to a trite sensuality.
So?
Nudity is slightly different. Depending on the subject matter it is usually to be demeaning the topic (usually females) or to create a sensuality in the observer that may create conflict in that person's personal life. Certainly, in the Judeo-Christian value system that Europe and the US was brought up in, we were taught that once Adam & Eve ate the fruit and became smart, they put clothes on - to be in public without clothes on is an affront to modesty and morality.
It would've been better to insist on alphabetical order and anyone who protested would be free to boycot. That is the way things like this MUST be handled in a civilized world. Cowtowing like this is complete useless crap. People who complain about this should be told fo FUCK OFF!
The movie companies consistently advertise movies for DVD (and now Blue-Ray) with the tag-line, "OWN it today!" This is a LIE! According to them, you don't OWN IT.
You instead have purchased a license to view the movie on approved devices from the supplied media within the limits that they stipulate.
Their advertisements should have to have the tag-line, "Buy a license to view on approved hardware from the supplied media within the confines of our stipulations Today!"
Wow! That sounds so exciting. Can't wait to "Own it"...Oh, wait, I mean "License It Today!" Yay!

Show them how it's done!
It just shows that you don't understand the issue.
My God! My God! It's...full...of.... No....It's.... OMG! OMG! OMG! We've been "Rick Rolled"! It's GOATSE!!!!
Very insightful!

Companies can not file for patents. Only people/inventors can. Check it out!

You can if you are the U.S. government.
What makes it illegal for the FBI to request and be given the computers?

...if that's what you believe (not necessarily directed at you). Screw Mod Points, Karma, and whatever else. State your piece!
70% Efficiency : 100 units in = 70 units stored
Now, use 10% of energy to store same result :
10 units in = 70 units stored
Wow! That is Amazing!

You do pay for your Public Radio/NPR listening pleasure don't you? Through donations? Don't you?
They could become "MicroHooHoo"!

PROVE IT!
So, have WW III then and get is sorted out. Let the best survive.

* Noone is forcing you to drive. You choose to! So, accept whatever search and seizure or don't drive!
* Noone is forcing you to walk on the public sidewalk. Accept the search or don't walk there.
* Noone is forcing you to live in this country. If you don't want to be searched, then leave!
* Noone is forcing you to breathe the air. Accept the search or stop breathing!
Funny how that works, isn't it?
