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?

So just change the Taliban to Nazis? Problem solved.
Now how should they sell the game in Germany... Change them back to Taliban? Problem solved.
But what about US bases in Germany... Change them into... lemmings? Now comes copyright infringement. The studio is doomed.

The Bing map is copied from the southeast (look at the black lake/spot/whatever). I'm guessing this is an ICBM site.

Isn't this what signing DLLs was supposed to protect against?

You must remember that before Jobs helped found Apple, he snuck out of his crib to invent touch interfaces (long before anyone else had a chance). I hear he even invented the transistor.

Wouldn't passing the limit be a great way of making them?

What's scarier than physical matter moving at the speed of light? Isn't this a good thing if you were looking to create a Death Star?
