We apologise for the inconvenience. Please check back at www.kazaa.com for more information.' --- Both the Linux and Windows client downloads are offline. I wonder what the judge thinks this will do to the tens, if not hundreds of thousands who already have the software?"

    Ofcourse a database can only be "less breakable" not unbreakable and I'm willing to excuse the term. But 3 buffer overflows, discovered in a short amount of time does not sound very "less breakable" to me either. Neither "100 times faster" sounds like 1.5-3 times faster according to Oracle's own adds (IIRC they were comparing with an IBM database.) I don't think we have to be so forgiving about his BS. It is not much different than MS, really, each new version of windows DO add something, and IS faster on some tasks when they claim releases are "unlocking the full potential of PC." It is a matter of degree, but yours seem to be a bit too forgiving.

    Oh, that, and the parent thread. Reading it may illimunate what may possibly happen if government can track all your actions and act without any wisdom and respect for different ideas.

    Isn't the real reason for the war the fact that they didn't turn over the terrorists?

    IE, we're not invading them because they have terrorists inside their borders (in which case, we'd have to invade half of the world), but because they didn't turn over *the* group of terrorists that killed 3000 of our people.
