oh wait, wrong story....
anyway, this is certainly great if the pilot looses both hands during combat/flirting with the stewardess/repairing device xyz/whatever...
I just want this for my remote control, pressing a finger for those quick channel flicks is just too much work
well yes, i didn't think it was necessary to point this out, of course I meant patents relating to information technology, computer hardware, etc. saying the obvious, really...
oh yes ? well i patented 'rant about commonly appearing no-longer-funny patent ideas on slashdot after a patent story was posted' so you owe me big bucks. all major credit cards accepted
Is this covered by the patent ? Maybe patents should be voted on by/. users before being granted. Or we could design a new 'Ask Slashdot' subject called "Ask Slashdot (for employees of the US Patent Office)". That should give them enough background to decide on the validity of a patent claim.
during McCarthy, you would have been arrested, you know that, right; thank god Cli... - oh wait, Bush is in power know, I would be careful with those 'communist', anti-capitalism posts
actually, some recent posts suggest thay you are killing/.
but seriously, the linux kernel is linus' child, and he did not design it with the goal to make lots of money. therefore IMHO the $2billion industry can make their own kernel if they want to earn money with it
There is a book by an Austrian Psychologyp professor: Dietrich Doerner Die Logik des Misslingens which translates roughly into The logic of failure. He investigates human decision failures using different models and games, among them strategy games bearing a similarity to e.g, civilization. His results cleary show that there is no difference between academics and non-academics in the end, i.e. achieving or not achieving a certain goal. There is however a difference in approach, e.g. a physicist tackles a problem more systematically, while a non-academic tends to decide more intuitively.
It seems there is no english translation, hence I would recommend all german speaking slashdot readers to get it; its written for a more general audience, not only psychologists, and it can help you to identify personal problem solving and project managment difficulties.
actually, I would not hire somebody that has a spotless record. that person must have been locked up all his youth, and making mistakes and exploring the limits is one of the important features of growing up - (to quote calvins dad) it builds character
Features of the new HTML rendering component will include Note: This is a list of features that will be supported by the KHTMLPart when it is completed and development has at least slowed down on it. However, at this point in time, it is still under very heavy and active development- each and every day, more of these features materialize.
I am very happy to see they are planning this, but how much of it is working so I can download it now and use it instead of netscape ?
