Sure it's technologically possible - but the point is the authorities might catch you at it, then you get to work cheap making WalMart goodies for a few years then your body parts are sold for transplant, and your family has to pay for carving you up.
The same Gates that was putzing around with Windows 95 and NT4, focused on taking over the Novell server market when Unix and the Internet came up and passed them by like a Ferarri passing a Ford Escort.
are they encumbered with any DRM, or can you share them with everybody at the office or anybody who visits your web site? That's what makes most publications hesitate - make it electronic form and you lose control, profits dilute. Now, Steve's readers are probably more ethical than most but the NYT might have more of a problem with "one person buys and 10 thousand read it".
I'm never shopping Amazon.com again - it's taking almost 2 weeks to deliver a CD (IF it shows up today or tomorrow) which is rediculous. I can no longer support someone who lives in a mansion beside Bill Gates, encourages illegal alien employment - it's just not worth the patented innovation of 'one click purchase' convience anymore. Dammnit - media SHOULD be available immediately for download. Having to wait 2 weeks for a plastic disk of bits is just crazy & anachronistic.
To be fair, he clears the up in detail later on, crediting Fleming and DeForest.
However, I just got to the part about Shockley and his preoccupation with the 4-layer switching diode and the author couldn't think of anything that uses them. Well, those are called SCR's (silicon controlled rectifiers) and are used in light dimmers in the form of a triac.
I've ordered several things from TigerDirect. Now, thanks to Apple, I don't know if I should enter purchases into a web page or just send it directly to the operating system.
Don't listen to those guys - my passion in college was smoking pot and listening to records. While enjoying your work is important, you have to be somewhat pragmatic - career planners always steered us toward the Bureau of Labor Statistics forcasts.
If only they could present it at a board meeting in terms of "Either we use OO or we will have to raise taxes".
Of course the public response will be to buy Msft products and cut taxes, just go deeper into debt like everyone else - because all those Msft products will make our students so globally competitive they'll pay off the debt incurred before they retire so, yeah, that's the ticket!
I'll extend an invitation to the TC for a hiking/camping trip any time he wants to discuss FOSS. If everything goes well, I'll even break out the marshmallows.
Good grief, it looks like just putting the word "emergency" before every key term in an ordinary database lookup, you have a novel invention with utility.
I use a Grandstream Handy Tone ATA-286 - it's small, I'm using it with asterisk, it has worked w/o issue since last November. When you first get it you have to set the IP address with the analog phone (which is pretty wild, a little box going "to change IP address, press 1", etc) but from then on you just use a web page to configure everything else. There were a bunch of options I didn't even get into, just setup sip user and password, match it to an asterisk extension and go. If it loses connection to asterist the button flashes red, etc. Just google grandstream ata-286 for the manual in pdf.

All in all a pretty good read.
found on p.13 - Edison did NOT invent the 'tri-valve or triode', which the brif implies.
we couldn't measure capacitance.
Actually I'm old enough to barely remember when they were called 'condensors'.

better yet, "butt headed online retailer"

That's right - it's only in the U.S.
why should I send them a photo of my feet? That's a weird fetish for celebrating software distribution milestones.
'specially if it stars Art Carney, Bea Auther and Jefferson Starship.
Why on slashdot?
Because we don't know it he'll open source the answer, try to patent it, or if there'll be a bittorrent of the solution available.
From just reading the register a few minutes ago, the slogan, "70 Percent Fewer Reboots" sounded pretty good to me.
