Oregon Supreme Court Declines To Hear Schwartz Case
merlyn writes "The Oregon Supreme Court declined to hear my case, leaving standing the unfavorable decision of the Oregon Appeals Court as the final authority on this eight-year-long case, well known to many sysadmin and Perl hacker alike. Details at my fors-announce posting." If you're not sure what that means, you probably want to read at least this site which offers a straightforwardly partisan look at the complicated case of Intel vs. Schwartz as well as Schwartz's own page; it's a strange world where programmers and sysadmins can be convicted for seemingly innocent activities. -
Microsoft Invents Antialiasing?
Jim Williams writes "There is an interesting article on Infoworld at describing Microsoft's new ClearType "technology". The article is mostly gibberish, with phrases like "We are able to address the area in between the pixels" but if I understand it, they seem to be making a fuss about oversampled, antialiased rendering, which has only been around for a decade or two. These guys should get out more." Somebody tell me how this is different from normal antialised text? I don't see it either.
