I wish someone had told me that we upgraded our servers to 64 bits. I logged in this morning using my thumbprint. Oh wait- I'm the one that would of approved purchasing new boxes. And we're running Windows 2000. It must have been magic.
Newton did his work on the calculus far before Liebniz, but he published afterwards. He was also remarkablty vicious in attacking Liebniz, who he viewed as a thief. Actually his practices are remarkably similiar to some of Microsoft's most questionable tactics. He used his influence and power as the head of the academy to chair the committee that refereed Liebniz' papers, and basically destroyed him personally. Interesting that linus uses him as an open source here. Of course going to work for a closed source company while still championing open source would give anyone some rose colored glasses.
There's two ways of looking at Win95: Everything get's loaded into the kernel, or everything sits in userland. Now generally speaking in unix userland threads from one process are isolated from threads in other processes. The only place where you can see everything is from kernel space. You decide- I personally have the opinion that everything is loaded into the kernel.
Phillips (the netherlands equivelant to GE) rolled notes out to all of its divisions a couple years ago. As of 1999 there were 14 million notes users. Even if this has dwindled, there are still a significant number of people using it. It is a crap product though.
Actually, this sort of knee jerk response is exactly what overloads our legal system. Imagine this scenario- VP of marketing at mastercard emails the site owner expressing his displeasure at the use of the mastercard name in reference to columbine and their trademarks. Fast forward a couple emails, and a mutually agreeable compromise is reached- perhaps removing the tag line at the end as Databass suggested. Of course this is assuming the corporate thugs at mastercard are mature enough to accept a little bit of parodying of their marketing campaigns.
You mean the majority of napster users were actually trading copyrighted works from the big five, rather than innovative pieces from unknown artists/composers?
They've put some fancy bells and whistles in here, but this is really no different than css. As soon as you "tether" a document and distribute it, you're handing the content to someone else. The various defenses they have put in (white screen, document destruction, system reboots) are trivial to work around- just hack the content on a non-windows box, or run it under an NT account that doesn't have the right to shutdown the system.
But this already does exist for mechanical licenses, just not for online music. Currently if you write a piece of music and license it to a label to be recorded, anyone can license that piece of music at the statutory rate (7.5 cents/copy) and rerecord it. If you make substantial changes to the work (beyond "tuning" it for a particular artist) you must negotiate a derivative license, which is not compulsory.
Note that some companies still make it very difficult to stat license a song, wanting to have control over it as you suggest. In this case the prospective licensee must apply with the US copyright office for a stat license, which is difficult, annoying and takes months to get through. This is not that bad when you consider that the average mechanical license in the use is granted 9 months after the release date of the album.
Um, no. A one time pad is this. Deliver a key that is as long as your cipher text, composed of completely random numbers. Add each number in the key to the corresponding number in the cipher text to produce your encrypted content. This is completely unbreakable, assuming that you have a source for generating truly random numbers. The reason that it is called a one time pad is that governments used to give their agents pads of numbers to encode messages- as they would use pages they would tear them off and destroy them. Hence the name one time pad.

That was true before the internet hit the scene- Microsoft redefined what an ActiveX component is, and came up with several distinctions. An ActiveX component needs to be self registereing, and Implement IUnknown, just like a COM componenet. An ActiveX control on the other hand, needs to implement a couple different interfaces, which is probably what is causing the confusion.
The best way to have bad laws changed is to have people who are willing to accept the consequences of their actions stand up to them. How effect would Rosa Parks have been if she had been anonymous?
It's sort of interesting that if you're a very succesful white collar criminal, people admire you for pointing out the flaws in the system. I guess the thinking is something along the lines of, well thank god he exploited someone else, so they can fix the problem before it happens to me.
Try this as a little do it at home experiment. Go construct some headware that, using mirrors, inverts your image of the world. Walk around with them on for a couple weeks- eventually you'll wake up one day and the world will be right side up again. Unfortunately there's a similar learning curve for learning to see the world correctly with the glasses off...
Here's a link to an old documentary which contains some more detailed information.

Well to be fair to amazon I've often thought that authors used some sort of template to write most of the books on the best seller lists...

It's not really price dumping when you enter a new market where the current players have been selling their hardware below cost for decades...

I would think that the defining characteristic of a web page would be links, otherwise its just a document.
Or the two hundred sixty thousand or so more people that voted for Gore in this country than for Bush

On the other hand, if you throw gobs and gobs of memory at your db, shouldn't it be able to handle the caching for you?
