I'm about halfway through New Kind of Science, and to be honest, it's pretty disappointing. Kinda like waiting through the last hour of that Skinamax movie waiting for the cute chick to take her top off - you know the payoff ain't gonna be worth it, but you slog along anyways...
On the other hand, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is just about the wildest thing I've ever read. Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trial '72 is hilarious as well. Just picture Hunter and Nixon side by side at the urinal...
For something truly fantastic, try Michael Moorcock. The guy almost never disappoints when it comes to truly mind-bending material that will leave a lasting impression...
Then again, "the market" is dominated by major brokerage houses that have lots of lawyers on staff to assist analysts with just these sorts of questions. More often than not, the market is a pretty good leading indicator for how these issues work out.
No, that was the definition of fair use. The difference re: Kazaa is that you're not trading with a circle of friends, but basically anybody else in the world that also has the software.
The only proper punishment for such a crime is to have the offenders sit and listen to each player as they describe the characters that were tampered with and the achievements that were lost due to this reckless vandalism. Then again, that might amount to cruel and unusual punishment!
PLAYER: You see, my elven warrior had just obtained expert skill level with his scimitar, which allowed him to slay the vicious vampire of the valley, after which he stole this awesome magic amulet that lets him see through walls...
Contracts are what you use against parties you have relationships with. From a legal standpoint, contracts end up being far stronger than anything you could do with copyrights.
Wow, that sounds bitter, and thoroughly unprofessional in tone - who the hell wrote this? Is SCO so cash poor that they're having law students write their PR's on this, rather than lawyers?
A spokesman for IBM said it's now offering mainframe Linux hosting customers a "service unit" pricing approach. The pricing is based partly on the cost of the hardware being run by IBM, as well as its IT labor costs. It runs on a free operating system for homosexuals, by homosexuals, competing head to head (pun intended) with Apple's OSX.
The problem is that it's so much easier from the business side to stick with the safe hits. The preeminent example of that is the sports area, which is basically a license to crank out "new" titles every year. Cha-ching!
I dunno... if it worked anything like campus bookstores, you'd end up paying $60 for a third-rate crackpipe!

Looking at the recommendations, what seems to pop out is that there is more a need for information organization than new-fangled gee-whiz technotoys. Analyst websites available via intranet, and the ability to search and join together information from various analyst accounts seem to be the major needs.
looks like you need some tussin for that cough, and be sure to check out the standardized labelling on the bottle while you're at it. Can you imagine if each pharmaceutical company had their own means of presenting information as well?
Without a company to go after, it's only a matter of time before the MPAA goes after a few users a la the RIAA over the last couple months. Considering that studios put oodles more money into a major movie release than a music CD, they have plenty more to "lose" from P2P trading...
That's why I wonder about people who go with contract "employment" over the long term. It's an inherently unstable environment, that can get some decent $$$ in the short term, but over the long term requires tremendous discipline to maintain retirement savings, health insurance, etc. My first piece of advice to this guy would be to get a full-time job with benefits, even if its not a great tech job (if things are so precarious with caring for his daughter). Relative stability is worth something...

Unfortunately, attention spans have shrunk over time, thus few have the patience to really soak in LotR. A true shame...

Then why don't they just try IPv5 as an interim step, so it wouldn't be so scary to take on???
yeah, next thing you know they'll be carping about us running out of fossil fuels...

If there was any justice, it would be the developers who got neutered...
That would have been waaaayyy too cool, oh tentacled one...

To see two companies circling the toilet bowl, desperately competing to grab hold of that white stream of paper. Give it up, guys!
But given the small number of incidents like this, the automatic patching scheme probably obtains much better results than relying on manual update...

Plus, considering the stock's performance over the last several months, can you blame him for wanting to diversify???
Yeah, the reality is that if you walk around campus it only looks like it's 10:1 guys...

There, now that makes sense!
Well, has there ever really been a paternity test? Perhaps he can go on Montel...
