Ah, remember well when Full Throttle was released. I devoured LucasArts games in those days and picked it up on release day. CompUSA was offering a special bonus; initial copies came with a soundtrack CD of music from The Gone Jackels.
Still have the box on my "classic games" shelf. Interestingly, that shelf is probably over 50% LucasArts.
I too honor the brave and ethical stance made by the WV leadership 150 years ago. However zero of that honor is conveyed to people simply because they happen to currently inhabit the same geographic area.
What model of Ethernet controller was tested. What Firmware version are they using? Has the problem been reported to Intel?
I realize you found the article difficult to read, but it wasn't that long. 2/3 of your questions were addressed in the article.
"I'm not an expert on the technical side," [Gianato] said
This from the man "who's leading the state broadband project".
West Virginia. Wild and Wonderful.
something no other DVR has
My ReplayTVs have had this for well over 10 years.
The only reason it isn't dead yet is that Microsoft can afford to keep throwing money at it. On any other company it'd be dead already.
So that's where the idiot patent royalty they're extracting from Samsung, HTC, etc. on their Android phones goes!
Forget patenting extractive distillation methods.
You can patent the method all you want, you just can't patent the extracted compound if it's naturally occurring.
If the extraction method is the most practical way of extracting the substance, and the substance has sufficient value, you've got a nice business there.
Learned INTERCAL from Guy Steele in the Comparative Languages course at CMU.
He could have copyrighted his source code (in fact it was automatically copyrighted as soon as he wrote it)
Nope. The US didn't pass the Berne Convention Implementation Act (which made copyright automatic) until 1989.
Nope. As seen in [i]First Contact[/i] the Queen was supposedly present at Picard's assimilation.
But regardless of how the Queen's existence was explained by the writers, introducing a central intelligence to the Borg completely undermined the one thing that made them formidable. It was idiotic. In one stroke they castrated the signature opponent for that generation of Trek.
Traditional military strategy has been to go for the command and control infrastructure. The morons in DoJ just don't realise that its a useless strategy when dealing with the internet. Your enemy is far more mobile than you are, and they will simply relocate, or re-distribute to overcome the assault.
It took The Federation some time to figure out how to defeat The Borg. In fact, they were only able to do it when the writers got stupid and decided The Borg needed a centralized Queen, for a wonderfully convenient single point of failure.
Â¥1 billion may sound like a lot, but it's only about $13M. Not exactly a major commitment.
This was known well ahead of time. A few friends of mine paid dearly to attend this con solely because Nimoy had already revealed that this would be his last.
The "announced at the con" language is not in TFA; just bad reading by the submitter.
Any director that says "I don't like the talking parts" should never be a director.
You mean like Kubrick did in 2001?
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
