If you read the article, or at least the summary, you would have seen that this was held up by a court of appeals. There are only two more possible challenges left 1) an En banc rehearing by the 10th circuit, and 2) The Supreme Court of the United States.
Warning: This article links to four top ten lists that only display one item at a time.
I hope Time gets paid per impression because that's the only way they'll get ad revenue from me. (And viewing all of those forty pages seems like a good way to punish the advertizers who enable articles like these.)
If Microsoft wants to tell me what to do, they'd better be ready to sign a check with 6 figures to the left of the decimal point... Microsoft would be very happy to sign that check. They'll be signing it on the back side while they take it to the bank.
[P]erhaps DARPA's PAL could be renamed HAL, for Hearing Assistant That Learns.
Perhaps, but that's not what the orignal HAL stood for. HAL was short for Hueristic ALgorithmal. Arthur C. Clark had to put that into one of his books in the series (2010 IIRC) because lots of people thought he had derived it by doing a rot25 on IBM.
$8000 might sound like a lot until you compare it to the stories we see of vulnerabilities being sold for $50,000 on underground sites. Why should I sell my findings to them for a much smaller amount?
If you're trying to send this data out to several places at once, bit torrent might be a good solution. At the very least it will reduce the ammount that needs to be pulled directly from the central source.
The D programming language seems to support the idea of design by contract as a standard. From the litle I know about D, the language is close enough to C++ that a switch would be easy.
"Where's Waldo?" was challenged because of one part in the beach scene where a kid is sticking an ice cream cone on the back of a young lady causing her to lift her topless chest off the ground enough to see breasts. (It should be noted that her top is on the towel under her.)
Ok, the article had pretty pictures and all that snazzy magazine feel, but why must I click click through twenty, ad-filled, pages to read all of your poorly formatted content. On top of that, for several of the pages my Firefox browser rendered the ads in front of the article text. If there is anything more annoying then having to needlessly click through several pages to read your content it's not being able to read the content once I get to the page because your ads are obscuring it.
First, rotate your version 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Next exchange all '0's and '*'s. What do you have? The answer is down there in my sig.
I was going to use '*'s and '.'s but with variable width fonts I couldn't get it to come out in a grid and I couldn't figure out how to have a monospace font appear in my sig. Thus, I replaced the '.'s with '0's and have the version that you see.
Previous backslash articles have been on stories that generated a high volume of comments the day before. So if that has been the previous pattern, then why, out of all the articles from yesterday, was this one chosen for a backslash? Sure the origional story generated a generous 444 comments, but it certainly wasn't the largest one from yesterday. Why not a more exciting story like "Air Marshals Place Innocents on Secret Watch List" which has 526 comments or (what whould have been my choice for a backslash) the story "Proposal to Update the Electoral College" which has a whopping 838 comments?
So is there a method behind this madness, or is it just plain madness?
Why not do something logical such as "The winner of the popular vote in a particular region will have the corresponding electoral vote"...
That sounds nice, but replace "particular region" with "state" and you contradict yourself. The truth is that we already have a system where, "The winner of the popular vote in a particular region will have the corresponding electoral vote." These regions are called states, there are 50 of them.
18% of our Firefox users need to upgrade to the latest version;) Go do that now.
Well I'm using Debian stable and thought I should update myself to the latest version. Here's how that went.
# apt-get install mozilla-firefox Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done mozilla-firefox is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
My conclusion, I'm comletly up to date. Yes sir, "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050925 Firefox/1.0.4 (Debian package 1.0.4-2sarge5)" is the latest version. I don't know who these people are who need to upgrade Firefox but they really should go and do that now.

Near the end of the article it states that she filed the suit without a lawyer because she couldn't afford one.

No it isin't.
Why is this marked as patents? There is nothing about patents in the case, it's all about copyright and contracts.

Is this counting airplane delivered torpedos as falling airplane parts?

No kidding on the oops part. Taco, you put the link to MyHeratage as a relative URL instead of an absolute one.
Bah, you have to login to the forum to see the picture. Is this hosted somewhere where I don't have to login to see it?

Please note that the system was only proposed in Colorado. Amendment 36 was rather soundly defeated.

I agree, please file all backslash articles in the backslash section.
