4:3 (1280x1024) is common for 19" LCD. Newegg has a lot of them.

Probably not. About 65% of BTCs in use are owned by only 10,000 users. Why is it a Ponzi scheme?

Then open big parachutes and let the plane land with them (wherever it is currently located). Then send rescue to pick up passengers ... or whatever is left from them :)

3840x2160, 30bpp, 60fps will use about 15Gbit/s, Display Port bandwidth is 17.28 Gbit/s. So there is still some room. You can also use different color encoding (like YCbCr 4:2:2 chroma sub sampling) to lower bandwidth. Lowering color channel bandwidth to 16 bpp (8bit luma 8bit chroma) would be barely noticeable for such a high density display. Our non-existing 4096x4096, 16bpp, 60fps display would use about 16 Gbit/s. So Display Port is barely OK. And you can still lower the refresh rate :)

That sentence states Groklaw's opinion how the law should define what is patentable. It does not say how it is. It is not a misunderstanding being spread.

I doubt that is the reason for slow adoption. FireWire controls DMA too and people do not seem to mind that much.

It is also about proving your algorithms do what you want. Why would you do it manually when you can do it in theorem provers like COQ, Agda, ... And building such proofs is very similar to programming ... and mostly harder. It is also about programming language design, and type systems.

I doubt one can be a good in CS without a computer.

If a service is so valuable to its users then the company can charge for it and there is no reason for disappearance.

If the service is not valuable enough for its users to pay for it then nothing of value (to the users) is lost.

Although the most probable outcome is that a better service will appear and that will be the reason for the demise of the old one.

DeBears made 34.8 carat synthetic diamond for research purposes. Its volume should be about 2 cm^3.

I do the same (switch it all off).

The US case started before DE case.

Motorlola proposed worldwide 2.25% license fee at the US court (which MS refused ... obviously).

I do not think these are valid. Each country has different laws. There cannot be a common resolution of a dispute pressed by one court over the whole word. In the worst case, (when companies do not come to agreement) they will sue each other in every jurisdiction separately. I think that is OK.

Isn't Nokia N9 (with MeeGo) a good enough successor? It definitely can be bought now (at least in EU).

How do they attach muscle/tendons to titanium?

No, what he is saying is: "If your paper should result in policy changes which rise our cost of living now, then you better be right."
