Lexmark Optra 312L is available for ~ 200. It's speedy, and a great printer. Lexmark doesn't advertise it as supporting ps, but it's exactly the same thing as the 312 with a smaller print cartridge. I have on at home, and it works like a champ.
The one where they steal a car from an amusement park ride, and the computer create a force field around it? Damn it, my day is ruined now. I can't remember the title.
Well, seeing as ebay was negotiating with him to buy the patents as early as 2000 (before the law suit) I don't really think that the doctrine laches applies here either. Although there is no time limit for laches to kick in either, one of the tests that the court uses to determine if it applies is if the patent holder delayed six years- which this guy clearly didn't.
Because it's correct. If the only application of quantum computers were to factoring numbers their usefulness would be quite limited. Please look at this article in nature, which talks about the speedups derived from quantum computing techniques when solving NP complete problems.
There's a lot of knee jerk reaction that goes along those lines, but there are some very good reasons for it. There can be some really stellar advantages to integrating applications into the os (Look how fast word and ie open, vs say staroffice and mozilla on the same machine) The problem is that when microsoft does it it's impossible to swap out the application and replace it with something else. There's no real reason that someone if supplied with the right amount of documentation couldn't completely replace the Microsoft HTML rendering components with gecko. Practically it's impossible, because the only way to achieve that level of integration is with access to the source. (I guess if you had really, really good documentation you could do it too)
The US could only do this if it declared marshal law, which would probably cause the immediate secession of several states and a new civil war. (Unless you're just talking about the national guard, in which case your local gun nut should have enough hardware to take them out)
I always interpreted Maximum overdrive as more of a ghost story, so that part never really bothered me. I mean Stephen King does fantasy, not science fiction.
Weird Al licenses almost all of the music that he parodies before hand.

US currency does not use phoenecian numerals. While the place system of our numbering system borrows heavily from the phoenecians, the numerals themselves look quite different. Perhaps you were thinking of arabic numerals?
See Proposal for encoding the Phoenician script in ISO/IEC 10646 for a visual depiction of what phoenecian numerals look like.
There are traditionally two approaches to implementing a blessed binary. Compiling in a private key, and having the server ask for random bits of the executable hashed together. Either one of these can be hacked without too much difficulty- in the former case you use something like soft-ice to get the keys while they are in memory, and in the latter you keep a copy of the blessed binary around to do the lookups. Probably the best idea would be to do some sort of java or dot net downloaded code where the encryption keys changed on an hourly basis combined with hashing. As long as the time it took to hack the keys and hashing out was > your update cycle you could have cheat free gaming. Of course you need to be on reasonably fat connection in order to download a full game every hour or two...
Slashdot Mirror
Funny, I always thought a lawyer was a lot more like a proctologist ;)
I'm at home right now so I don't have a windows box in front of me, but I'm pretty sure IE will find next by hitting F3
You should have been able to get 80 gig drives for about $80 online for at least a month or two.

You're thinking of trademarks
This is why Microsoft's new implementation is called J#.
It's attitudes like this that explain why my children won't have mutant powers.
You can pick up an HP Jetdirect on ebay for $70, which I assume will work with both classic and X...
Given the reasons given in the faq there's no reason why slashdot couldn't link to google...
If the only application you run is word, wtf are you reading slashdot?

It can solve NP complete problems in seconds instead of taking longer than say, the present age of the universe.

Ten days for an entry level job in the us is normal.

That's sort of like saying Microsoft "encourages" oem's not to include dual boot os' on their boxen.
That's interesting. Java was officially announced by Sun in 1995.

You mean a sun blade for under a thousand dollars?

Pricewatch recently started sorting their listings by aggregate price (component price + shipping and handling)
