$3500 for a monitor with a resolution higher than content? No, 1080p will do, especially since most TV is still 720p. I've seen 80 inch 1080p TVs for $800.
You jest, but wikipedia says it will boot in five seconds on a 90 mHz Pentium FROM A FLOPPY. Is that fast enough for you, javaboy?
ENIAC was introduced in 1946. What handheld computer smartphone existed in 1996?
while the summary is laudatory, fawning, even, it is not central to the decision
Funny, I had the same reaction when I read it. He seemed like a salesman for Google or something.

Dear Prince Bernard,
If you're talking about my bank account, you're barking up the wrong tree
Agreed, that's one reason people ditch Windows. Windows users are use to that sort of bullshit, open source folks won't stand for it.
SourceForge, this shit needs to stop. Advertising is fine, but damn it, leave the trickery to the corporate... oh, oh... Dice owns SourceForge now, doesn't it?
SourceForge is SO screwed...
I'm thinking of the scene in the western where the Sheriff is telling the writer what he got wrong in his story. "And BLAM! It blows his hand off, which was a failing common to that model."
I can see making one just to see it work, but in a vice with a string on its trigger. You'd be a fool to shoot a gun with a plastic barrel while holding it. Even steel breaks sometimes.
So, if this stands does this mean it's lawful for Google to make the full text available of these books, or not?
Fair use cases are very fact specific. If you start monkeying with the facts, Judge Chin might not feel the same way about it.
If google can legally copy books (even when profit is involved) then why can't I do the same?
Wouldn't I get hammered with copyright infringement problems if I scanned in books I did not author myself?
I don't know but please hire me as your lawyer when you do.

I have no interest in a "3D" TV, and until I saw this I didn't have any interest in a new TV, since the old one works fine.
That said, maybe I will, since I can get a 60 inch set $200 cheaper than the 42 inch 720p I bought in 2002... even though it still works fine.
But then again, maybe they'll go down more? Electronics have been getting cheaper all my life. In 1976 I paid $600 for a 25 inch set.
Nah, I'll wait until this one breaks.
