Or maybe, just maybe, both the Constitution AND one or more of the Supreme Court rulings are indeed defective. The Constitution is not perfect, and I challenge anyone to explain otherwise.
Wasn't there something several months ago about a patent for a back-of-the-device touch sensitivity system?
If there is a new interface, that's my bet.
Craigslist want to make it moderately difficult to quickly access its listings for more than one location at a time. As soon as it becomes super easy to access listings and perform more powerful searches, then the spammers and corporations will move in and make craigslist into what ebay has become in recent years. I personally want craigslist to stay just how it is, and so I support any attempt to block access for silly things like Yahoo Pipes.
Advertising yes, marketing no. Good marketing (including market research) allows a company to realize that the customer doesn't care about the specific product they sell, but rather about the benefit that it provides. Cable companies provide entertainment. Customers don't care how they get that entertainment. The cable exec from the article doesn't understand this. Classic example is Xerox shifting from photocopy machines to 'Document Management.'
Also, we must remember that the human brain does not function in a vacuum. That is to say that the brain is part of a system along with the rest of the nervous system and all other systems in the body. To accurately reproduce the function of a human brain, you must reproduce all the linkages, stimuli, output, feedback, etc. These guys may be producing a really intelligent computer, but it's not an artificial human brain.
I don't have the reference handy but I once came across a study showing that incarcerated psychopaths who undergo treatment for the condition are statistically more likely to demonstrate a greater degree of psychopathy in the future than are those who do not undergo treatment. Any psychiatrists out there want to back me up?
This is exactly why I bought a microsoft mouse. I don't want Apple telling me that I have to lift my index finger every time I right-click! I do like the scroll wheel though.
Just wait until Apple comes out with its color version. I don't get how Amazon can get into the digital textbook market without color. Do they not understand that the colored graphs and illustrations are the only interesting part of textbooks?
I met Scott McNealy (Sun's Chairman/Co-founder) several weeks ago and had the opportunity to ask him a few questions. I asked what it is that gives Solaris an advantage over other Unix/Linux distros. He stammered a bit and talked about how enterprise customers don't trust Canonical (which I deemed to be a straw-man), but do trust Sun for support. He talked a bit about downtime and stability. He really seemed to think that Sun was at the forefront of open-source. McNealy also pushed OO.o, which I found to be out of line with his well-known "the network is the computer" theme. He seemed confident that Open Office would become a dominant player, but was unclear as to whether that was with home or business users. Anyway, he's a smart guy, but I think his good ideas have run their course, and I'm happy to see IBM stepping in to inject a new perspective on Sun's businesses.

I took notes during MBA school in html -just to make boring classes less boring.

Unless they still make the cool sparking design whilst in the microwave, I am not interested!
Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right...

A chiropractor is just someone who wanted to be a doctor, but who didn't get good enough grades/MCAT to get into medical school.
640k decimal places should be enough for anybody.

Fact: There are no recorded cases of death by meteor, unless you count a dog in France.
You are forgetting about that weed-man in Creepshow.
How is this even a story? Maybe if she had named a REAL planet...
Well, it's 2009 and Phoenix just now finally got a light rail system (that goes about 40 mph). I'll expect this to be running by 2109 or so.

This reminds me of my fruitless attempt to make Gnome look and feel exactly like Windows 3.1
what's the figure?
Based on reading all the posts, you'd think it was about 90%, but I suspect it's closer to 3%.
6 previous movies (just a guess, again, not a Trekkie)?
You don't have to be a trekkie to read the title of this post (XI = 11)
How about paper? Or has that gone out of style?
And I'm a sci-fi fan.
Don't you know? They changed the spelling to "Syfy"
I have the most solid kind of evidence - anecdotal.
My one friend who bought an eee with Linux switched it for XP. End of story.
Get over it.

This is so true. I definitely become autistic whenever I'm near vinyl. It's so nice to finally be vindicated by science.
