Instead of having the courts enforce their decision of NOT accepting "deep links" from outside, why don't they setup their webserver to reject deep URLs which are not reffered from their own pages (with ads)????

It doesn't make sense to say that the fossil fuel industry would have a vested interest in suppressing cold fusion research. In fact, with their huge accumulated wealth and equity, they would be the very first to jump in the foray and fund it, since being the greedy sons of a bitches they are, they'd surely be glad to get rid of their expensive raffining plants, their cumbersome transportation network, and the politically uncertain stability of their sources of raw material and replace it with something that will essentially almost give you something for nothing... Naaah, if I were (insert your favourite oil tycoon here), I'd hugely fund cold fusion research, and also plain old fusion research, too... -- ---------------------------------------------- Vive le logiciel...

If you can get your hands on the "Spirou" comics, published in Belgium (for the last 60 years or so), the "Z comme Zorglub" and "L'ombre du Z" feature exactly that kind of vehicle.
Not bad for a story published around 1957...

Well, whenever my boss is pissed-at me, he yanks the plug on my own server. So, to avoid big fs damage, I use the following/etc/fstab which does the job fine:
Microsoft loses the antitrust case. It is ordered to separate the OS from the apps.
Now, you've got a bunch of nerds and suckers who brought you dancing paperclips.
They've got to justify their jobs, don't they? Well, well, look at that. A new OS taking up popularity, without any "good" (à la Microsoft, that is) applications.
Well... I guess that they could start by porting Orifice to Linux, no?

I guess that you anglo-saxons will never understand that, but we, the French, trust the State a lot more than you do. After all, we did not have a Magna-Carta to start to distillate doubts about the State in our collective neuroses.
We view the State as an ally, not an ennemy. And since we believe that the State plays a positive role in Society, we do not regard a career to serve the State as something to be ashamed of. So, the best talents are naturally drawn to Public Service, rather than going into private business.
The (totally free - the State pays all tuition fees) French Public Service schools (Polytechnique, École Nationale d'Administration, École Normale, Saint-Cyr, etc.) are strictly reserved for the very best of the graduates and provide a yearly crop of extremely talented and exquisitely qualified civil servants, who upon graduation, will put their talent at the service of the State and, by extension, of all French Society.
So it is quite natural that, since it is being run by extremely competent people, a French State will more than often take the right, obvious, decision (which, incidentally, goes towards the benefit of the majority of people, rather than according to the "laws of the free market"). Like supporting OSS.
The French put intellectual achievement ahead of financial success; writers and academics enjoy one of the best perception within French society, quite ahead of successful entrepreneurs. Could there be a better intellectual achievement than collaborating in establishing a new solid and robust and open operating system standard?
After all, such an OSS OS will benefit mankind far much more than writing (yet another) book of verses, or composing (yet another) symphony or opera...

Well, why don't you move down south and become an American? Then, you'll be able to listen to all the yankee music you want.
