I thought that during school hours, the school took over some custodial rights. I don't know if I am right or whether the custodial rights extend to searching personal items, but you are definitely in some limited rights category when you are a student at school.
Being as they are using the resonant frequency to destroy the virus, I imagine the differences in the mechanical structures between viruses and other surrounding material would isolate the applied force to the virus.

I doubt it could ever be that easy. Wording it too loose could mean I should have some kind of expectation that my copy of MS Office should be licensed to run on a linux box.
Remember the study that found 283 possible software patent infringements in the Linux kernel alone? I would be surprised if some of those didn't belong to Microsoft (and that was 2004, there are probably more now). Reading that makes me think that there is no better time for the FSF to challenge patent obviousness, especially related to software patents.
Just my two cents.
It was also mentioned in that show that the electronics used as the guidance systems were particularly hard to design. It has been a while since I saw that episode, but IIRC all of the circuits had to be designed such that all of the current paths aligned with the direction of the launch. The free floating electrons were experiencing the g-force at launch, and destroying the internal structure of the electronic components.
I see the vast majority of affected people falling into two camps on this one, depending on how strict Sony decides to be.
1) You are intelligent enough to either fix/format yourself, or know someone who can. Either way, there is no documentation of actual repair expenses.
2) Or, you know how to turn it on and off, and have no idea what a rootkit is, you just want it to work when the Geek Squad gets done with it. In the end, probably not following up on this, unless you were involved in the original class action.
Either way, the consumer wins again.
The old assumption that displays are 72dpi has been rendered obsolete by advances in display technology. Macs now ship with displays that sport native resolutions of 100dpi or better. Furthermore, the number of pixels per inch will continue to increase dramatically over the next few years. This will make displays crisper and smoother, but it also means that interfaces that are pixel-based will shrink to the point of being unusable. The solution is to remove the 72dpi assumption that has been the norm. In Leopard, the system, including the Carbon and Cocoa frameworks, will be able to draw user interface elements using a scale factor. This will let the user interface maintain the same physical size while gaining resolution and crispness from high dpi displays.
The introduction of resolution independence may mean that there is work that you'll need to do in order to make your application look as good as possible. For modern Cocoa and Carbon applications, most of the work will center around raster-based resources. For older applications that use QuickDraw, more work will be required to replace QuickDraw-based calls with Quartz ones.
This is more or less on Apple's website. Version 2 is no big surprise.
I like your analogy, but here is the problem I see with the idea that all of the water on Mars is in some kind of underground water table. Wouldn't the bottom of the crater appear darker due to the lowered elevation of the crater floor? If not now, the during Martian seasonal change?
I find it hard to believe that water going from a higher potential (i.e. elevation) to a lower potential, without signs of the water collecting at the lower potential.
Most of the posts I see are only considering the CPU/GPU combo for the server/desktop markets. If additional heat, due to the presence of the GPU, is manageable, I see it very likely that these chips would be geared toward the laptop market. To the points made by Parent, all of those aspects make the laptop more powerful, and less power hungry. It seems to me that more average users (read: non-gamers) are purchasing laptops in place of desktop systems now that prices of laptops have fallen enough that customers are willing to pay for the portability.
While talent is certainly required to become one of the top few in a field, I don't think that level of achievement could have been achieved without someone, or some community, that played the role of the coach or teacher. This would be true also for the self taught.

Solar Collector?

The 480 megabits/s is the rated burst transfer speed. I can't remember now what the sustained transfer rate is supposed to be.
How long will it be before TiVo sues the MPAA for not using their now patented encryption technology?

The structure of our legal system was based on concepts from the British Common Law.

Funny you mention that, wife now receives credit card offers from her college.
I am thinking tin foil is a bad idea here. Have you ever seen what happens to that stuff in the microwave?

Taking into consideration the slashdot posting here, who gets fined if the site is populated with information from the community at large?
why wouldn't the bird become disoriented when they are standing on power lines?
