Diebold To Drop Suit Against Whistleblowers
segment writes "Fox News reports that
'Diebold said it would not
sue dozens of students,
computer scientists and Internet service providers who had received cease-and-desist
letters from the company from August to October,' which is great for academia land, but
one should still ponder using Diebold on any level: 'an executive scolded programmers
for leaving software files on an Internet site without password protection.' Kind of a
scary thought with all the United States went through during the Bush/Gore election,
imagine the theories should a Diebold product be used in a situation like that. "
Reader doormat points out, however, that "the EFF is still going after Diebold over
the C&D letters." Several readers also submitted links to Paul Krugman's
New York Times column about Diebold's approach to public trust and accountability.
me thinks this article is a dupe...
I think it's right. Even when (not if, mind you) SCO loses out in court on their IP claims, ,they must be hauled up in Court over their infamous letters to the Fortune 500. Should serve as a deterrent to future SCOundrels.

a continent entirely peopled by convicts
Not to detract from your point (I'm sure you had one in there somewhere), but you do realise that the vast majority of (non-Aboriginal) Australians are descended from the guards and other staff, not the convicts, don't you? Convict life expectancy wasn't terribly high, while the staff were (naturally) looked after quite well.
That's even ignoring the fact that everyone involved is long since dead... "people entirely by convicts" indeed. Oh for mod-points.
It's official. Most of you are morons.
It must be terrible to feel all alone.

from the tang-makes-me-ill (how annoying that must be for us, & the folks over at tang.com?) dept.
morons write "What do you think babies aboard the ?other? side of the planet had for Thanksgiving? Roasted turkey? Wrong answer. In "less fortunate" areas, the pateNTdead eyecon0meter tells us, they had little of nothing, and gives details about space in their little bodies, where food ought to be. If the dining view, 200 miles of rough road, is unattractive, preparing 'meals' is even more so. For example, there is no food, so the babies must remain hungry for long periods at +- room temperature. And you need to avoid thinking about this scenario. The real 'stuff that matters' overview contains additional references, and includes directions by the creators, for their/yOUR newclear power, & planet/population rescue initiatives/mandates.
( Read More... | that makes sense )
consult with/trust in yOUR creators... the lights are coming up now in order to assist in the avoidance of overheating the main processor, &, facilitation of the aforementioned ncp/ppr programs/mandates.
for each of the creators' innocents harmed, there is a badtoll that must/will be repaid by you/US, as the execrabilious corepirate nazi perpetraitors of the life0cide against the creators innocents, will not be available to make reparations.
see you there? tell 'em robbIE?
