Wolfram Alpha can't even do that. But the thickness is 9.5mm for those wondering how much "flatter than a pancake" is.

Hackers are hackers because they don't follow directions. Using something as intended goes against hacking's very essence.

More likely they will goe 3-strikes with us, send out 2 DMCA notices and reserve the last for our government kill switch. Too conspiracy theorist? Just take a look at how friendly the White House is with the *AA fellows. They'll enact 3-strikes with a name like Protect Our Receptive Newborns and Abolish Worldwide Atrocious Yuckystuff (PORN AWAY for short). You're not protecting your children if you vote no.

I remember having to emulate older machines and systems such as the Enigma in one of my college classes. I'd have to say the Enigma is still a relevant tool today (be it for learning and not hiding wartime transmissions).

SCSI bankers? Sounds like it was the computer's fault.

I don't know what happened with the application but here's the real boat patent: http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=cPMTAAAAEBAJ. It's a much better read than the playoff ones IMHO.
Anyways, would copying the abstract be considered patent infringement or copyright infringement? Either way, boat guys need to get their act together to protect their abstract IP.

Only in Soviet Russia.

I love 1&1. I've held about 10 domains with them for the past 6 years and only had a problem once (They lost all my DNS settings+subdomains but gave me a free year, awesome service). Whenever I hear someone talking about setting up a site with GoDaddy I cringe and point them to using 1&1 if it's not too late. I don't like the price hikes they've been doing but I suppose it is understandable.

Are they not using 20 y/o technology? I'm suspecting that they have just ruggedized a 20 year old processor/architecture for their use. Isn't the military doing the same? (Think about the P1's being used in aircraft)

Yes, for instance, if you have a ton of dirt to move, you get a dump truck.
If you want to go fast, you get a sports car.

Did they also find large amounts of calcium, fat, and vitamin D?

Canada is going to send the four requests again... in FRENCH!

Duh, Mac OS 10.7. Heard that the software makes a shit ton of bugs in previous versions just so the developers have something to do. Problem is that we get stuck with the old versions.

I'm guessing that since it is the same algorithm used in WebM, wouldn't it have the same licensing (BSD) ?

Is this study peer reviewed?
