All they do know: IT, also code-named Ginger, is an invention developed by 49-year-old scientist Dean Kamen, and the subject of a planned book by journalist Steve Kemper. According to Kemper's proposal, IT will change the world, and is so extraordinary that it has drawn the attention of technology visionaries Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs and the investment dollars of pre-eminent Silicon Valley venture capitalist John Doerr, among others.

Fourth Workshop on Quantum Information Processing Fourth Workshop on Quantum Information Processing

Yes, yes, yes! It's ridiculously obvious that the same problems that limit manipulation at the micro-micro level also limit comprehension of individual volition (why salt dissolves quickly in water but porcelain doesn't; why I like chocolate but some people don't). It's not magic! It's just good sense!

Whistler build adds anti-piracy lock Whistler build adds anti-piracy lock
WPA will tie a Windows product key to one specific PC in order to reduce casual copying. In order to "activate" it, a customer will send data about the installation, such as product ID number and hardware identifier, to a Microsoft-run license clearinghouse. The clearinghouse won't allow the use of the customer's product key on a PC different from the one originally activated.

Questions:

1. If you paid for it, why is it not yours?

2. What right does any company have to require you to provide personal information before they'll allow you the privilege of using something you already paid for?

3. What happens if you replace your computer but intend to keep using the software?

4. How much does piracy really cost software companies (or music companies for that matter), versus the insulting manners in which they treat the consumer?

Bonus question: Is Steinbeck correct when he observes that only degenerate creatures require armor plating, and that it is a sign of their imminent extinction?

Union lowers value of Ramirez Union lowers value of Ramirez contract by $20.5 million NEW YORK (AP) - The value of Manny Ramirez's contract with the Boston Red Sox was cut by $20.5 million by the players' association because of a low interest rate on the deferred payments to the outfielder. When the Red Sox and Ramirez announced their $160 million, eight-year contract on Dec. 13, they said $31 million of the total was deferred with interest. The union valued the deal at $161,904,572, the additional $1.9 million caused by the union's evaluation of payouts in the signing bonus. The interest rate on the deferred money then was set at one-quarter of one percent annually, meaning the $3 million deferred from his $13 million salary this season will accrue $7,500 in interest this year. The union then decided to treat the $31 million as if it was being deferred without interest and discounted the deferred payments by 9 percent annually. That lowered the value to $141,342,731, a figure that could be used for comparisons in salary arbitration."Nothing like the time value of money. I am sure Manny will miss that $20M!"http://www.infobeat.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/IBFrontEnd.woa/wa/fullStory?article=405636126
