As an uneducated observer, what I understand is, to infringe on a patent, you need to infringe on every single claim in the patent. Was looking at the patent and your website, and it doesn't appear as if you might infringe on the final clai

I do this, but I don't do anything special. I just take a snapshot, enter and exit the view, say 5 times, then take another snapshot. Switch over to showing deltas and look for your objects in the list.

I can answer this from personal experience. After working 9 hours at a full time job, a 45 minute commute home, helping make dinner for the family, cleaning up, playing with the kids, getting them cleaned up for bed, reading with them, putt

Ya know, as a father of a 7yo boy and a 9yo girl who together have put in about 40 hours of lego building in the last week alone, using lego from my childhood as well as a dozen kits purchased in the last 5 years or so, this simply isn't tr

It needs to be coupled with question votes, as it would be too easy to game by writing a terrible question with a false account, letting it sit for a long time, then answering it with your real account.

(not relevant to the article, but...) when you fill a pool, generally you call the water company and they'll hook a meter to a fire hydrant. This will fill a lot faster then a 1" home service, and you also won't be charged for sewer as wel

To paraphrase your own statement, Node makes it easy to develop an increasingly popular type of app, highly concurrent, scalable, realtime streaming applications, in a popular, widely used language, with ease at a level that has not seen be

Just bought the combo - looking forward to going through the beta! Thanks!

Hmm, no beta. Love to see a sample chapter.

Wow, I have a few cd32 discs in the basement somewhere - want them? We would distribute burned CDs containing graphic, sound, and video/animation assets to the customers. This was '94, and if I remember correctly blank cds were something l

Hmm, I wonder about the accuracy of this, specifically about CD32s not being imported. I worked, at that time, for the largest Amiga dealer in the US, and we built a couple hundred multimedia display kiosks using CD32s and Paravision SX-1s.

hmm, despite the downvotes, you're right. They're really a lifestyle company - for a lifestyle that deeply embeds usable technology in all aspects of your life. But, the actual technology is 2nd to the experience of the lifestyle.

Oh, its not all that long ago. There were plenty of flat panels in 2004, lots of all-in-one printers, and "cloud computing" had already been around for several years in the form of 'Akamai Edge Computing'.

$9k is not realistic. As a relatively young couple with 2 kids, our out of pocket medical expenses (on an HSA plan with $5k deductible) have been running about $1500 per year for the last several years - that's medical, dental, ortho, and

My (now 8 yo, but 7 at the time) daughter found Scratch to be mildly interesting, but not really compelling. She'd use it every now and again. But, she's pretty addicted to Kodu. I think the 3d aspect of it, as well as a more narrow topi

Many (most?) large cable providers, such as Comcast, have co-location and hosting businesses. After all, they have significant server facilities and a serious traffic deficit to make up.

by EdwardMSmith 16y ago
Except, both L3 and Comcast have said that they had a settlement-free peering agreement, in addition to the transit agreement. And that peering agreement is the one that they're having the spat about.

In all the discussions of "startup culture" we've had here in the Twin Cities, this lack of mentorship by seasoned startup veterans always comes up as the main thing that we're lacking.
