Bell patented the phone first, but probably did not invent it first, but he did get that patent.
The enforcement of the LZW patent is ridiculous since it was allowed to become standard in web pages via gif's before its new owner decided to start chasing programmers for implementing it and endusers for using gif's on webpages.
The patent in question was filed on September 12, 1997 and issued on September 28, 1999. Calculations yield a 2 year & 16 day period between filing and issue.
I'm writing this on a G4/450 and should say it does not have any freezing problems. Also, boot-up time is under a minute, so when I do restart (which I do every so often), I don't even have time to get up and check the weather outside.
I'm not really sure if things even go on outside anymore.
I'm writing this on a G4/450 MHz. Believe me, this machine does NOT need any overclocking. It's so darn fast, I have a hard time not using it all the time. Responsiveness makes the computing experience so very sweet.
IBM did not want to support AltiVec way back when Apple was in more dire straits and the market could not be foreseen as being so lucrative. I'm sure the 'Its' over at IBM are kicking themselves now.
"That kind of errata isn't unusual for new ships from any manufacturer," said Keith Diefendorff, editor in chief of the Microprocessor Report in Sunnyvale, Calif. He said that Motorola's warnings don't necessarily portend serious problems: "Motorola, as a company, is relatively conservative, and they like to have everything perfect." --from the MacWeek article
I agree with the poster down below that people wanting to buy these machines are lucky that Motorola takes its quality so seriously, so they don't have to be replaced later (like the pentiums).
Your lack of boredom may come from your pre-occupation with your self.
Use your imagination to try to understand others being bored (since you claim being unfamiliar with this experience).
IT/IS requires you spending your time learning extra things whether or not they're assigned. If you continue this attitude past your schooling, technology will leave you behind.
I know I may be moderated for saying this, but you do sound like a prick.
I'd say that I pretty much agree with your take on college.
I'm here right now and don't feel I'm getting much out of it, except for when I attend meetings of our IS/IT club, which tend to be way more informative and interesting than most of my classes most of the time.
You should see the corporate recruitment that goes on with our IT crowd, though. There is no fear here about job placement. Most concern themselves with deciding whether an offer should be passed up because a better one can be had.
Try Training At UW-MADISON, since it is now in JAVA (though the coordinating professor SUCKS spoilt grapefruit juice), since he canNOT understand normal human behavior, i.e. illness and love of family.
Slashdot Mirror
You already made this same post above.
I'm working on negative click shopping right now. Zero click was taken by my local department store.
Could you show me how you visited 'all other sites' to verify this? :)
One-click! is not an invention. It barely qualifies as technology.
:) :o :p
(I think you mean quiet

ecampbel sounds like he works for Amazon

I admit that it is very convient to use one-click type shopping, but it does not seem to be innovative enough to warrant a patent.
Can you say vaporware?
That's pretty much what this is about.
This computer will not come to be manufactured at that price point any time soon (particularly by Q1 2000).
Want a serious machine at that price point, buy a dreamcast!
Or an older Palm.
Still looking forward to the Nokia 7100 with microbrowser.
How do you feel about lying in your congressional as well as videotape testimony?
He seems to be completely under the control of other people.
Any response to the Register's report about your use of donations soley for PR?
I believe Gattaca is self-referential to the respective DNA base pairs contained therein.
G = guanine
A = adenosine
T = thymine
C = cytosine
So not a variation on someone else's chant, unless you count Nature's as named by man.
It would be nice if ALL congenital diseases could be taken care of before we start adding qualities.
That was actually funny.

Who are the moderators that would give the above a score of 2?
Furthermore, should we get into a war over OS quality at this point?
I seemed to have missed all the hoopla over [insert OS other than MacOS]'s useability.
Insults take very little to think up.
Ouch.
Can you document that this is the cause of the bug?
To quote the Beastie Boys, "Where'd ya get your information from? Yeah..."

Or, AWESOME = 'AWE'some 'S'ociety of 'O'nline 'M'agazines & 'E'-zines. Kind of a GNU Not Unix thing (kind of).
Well, I already said it up above in a reply-to-post (#34).....
We could call it AWESOME for Awe-inspiring World Editors Society of Online Magazines & E-zines, or something like that.
I'd say that I pretty much agree with your take on college.

Or maybe, the Awesome World Editors Society of Online Magazines and E-zines.
Just a thought...
(2) no it was not - which makes sense (read the article again)
/. as an online periodical
(3) i fail to see how the last paragraph would be considered an insult
(3b) to avoid confusion they could change their name to ASPME
(3c) it is an insult that they won't accept
(3d) _ who wants to start ASOME, or perhaps AWESOME -- the American & World Editors Society of Online MagazinEs ?_
sounds good -- but support it with references or else admit that you are unwilling to (so i can waste my time looking them up)
Yes, the powers that be in present-day religion KILL others over their views (heritage, race, religion, etc.).
Kosovo was about RELIGION.
ALL OTHER RACIAL MASSACRES HAVE BEEN ABOUT WHAT A PERSON IS PERCEIVED TO HOLD IN THEIR MIND AS A TRUTH.
THEN THIS PERSON (& THEIR FAMILY) IS KILLED OVER IT)
BELIEVE IN GOD! BUT DO NOT KILL ME BECAUSE I DO NOT BELIEVE IN YOUR GOD!
Try Training At UW-MADISON, since it is now in JAVA (though the coordinating professor SUCKS spoilt grapefruit juice), since he canNOT understand normal human behavior, i.e. illness and love of family.
So what is your viewpoint on e- movements & how does this viewpoint relate to GOD?
