Yes, exactly. Note that unanimous Supreme Court decisions are very rare in any case where there's substantial controversy -- I strongly suspect that this individual really didn't have very strong case (or maybe she had a really lousy lawyer.) I would be very surprised if this case turned out to set any significant precedent.
The Supreeme Court doesn't look at how good the case was. They look at how the law was interpreted. She may have had a bad lawyer, but that doesn't mean that, in theory, lower courts aren't supposed to follow the highest court's descision.

you obvously didn't have a trs-80... I had one, and I used a audio tape to save my basic programs. Yeah, its a joke, you can't save 4GB on an audio cassette, but using a cassette tape for a TRS-80 is quite real.
this is fine, except that you then have done all the hard work for making a quieter (because it only attacks infected servers) even more harmfull worm. Say one that overwrites the partition table on the anniversary of the DMCA being passed:)
This, exactly, is the problem. Microsoft lots and lots of patents. The way the standards process works, Microsoft doesn't have to disclose what technologies in.NET are patented. So, until a patent lawyer goes through the standards proposal, and all of Microsoft's patents, we can't be sure that Microsoft isn't just trying to waste Miguel's time working on Mono just to be shot down with licencening charges for something in.NET which turns out to be pattented.
if you read the article you would know that the particular patent which raised the question relates to password changeing....
That would be true, except that I have the right to copy the CD. They don't have to let me copy it, but, if I can copy it, I'm allowed to do so. So.... if they are not labeling these CDs and then I copy it, I am completely within my rights. I am using the CD in a "normal" matter and it may damage my equipment.

I thought it sounded harsh too, until I looked at mysql.org. I couldn't find ANYTHING that suggested that their product wasn't the standard distro of mysql... The only thing I found on quick inspection was that in their licence section they say that if you modify the GPL code, "as we have" you must release it under a GPL compilent licece. There wasn't a link to mysql.com arround anywhere obvious.
I think that if someone did that to my project I'd be kinda peeved too... by not pointing people at the GPL portion of the project's main site, they are just asking for project splits. If I make a change, and I've only looked at mysql.org, I'd never know who to tell about my change to get it in the main distro....
heh, "Kai-Uwe Sattler" translated to "Dr. Kai-Uwe upholsterer" from google... still the best translation system I've seen, but they really should do something so that things that look like names (something after a Dr that are still capitilized etc..) are not translated...
just go in your/etc/hosts file and add ads.x10.com to the end of the line that starts with 127.0.0.1 so it should read
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ads.x10.com
This will block the adds forever (unless your computer is ads.x10.com.....)
I'm guessing you didn't read the article... Datamining may very well have the same effect as something a process a human could think of (like the one you explained) but in most cases is more general and that is what makes it usefull. It can make it VanGogh like, maybe you could too, but the same program given a bunch of paintings by, say me, could make it look kinda like I did it... Could you think of a procedure that given some of my art could make it look like mine? probably not, since you don't know what my art looks like (stick figures mainly.) But this could.....
I can get an unlisted phone number if I don't want to be contacted by phone. Fax-spam is illegal. I should either be able to put my e-mail address on a don't-spam-me-list or they should eat the costs of my receiveing the mail.
I actually have an idea. Whenever you get spammed by someone with an 800 number call... repetedly... give them some costs too...
This is the licence for their beta software. They don't want people to use the beta software after the final version is released. I think that's fair. They want your bug reports to be up to date. I think that's fair too...
FreeBSD's licence allows people to use its source in closed source software and is therefore not "viral." While I distribte my code under the GPL, there are other forms of OS, and some do not fit into M$s def. of viral....
OK, so when I write OS software, I do it because I want to code and all the better if someone else can use it. So if I M$ wants to use something I wrote fine. But I want some credit. I'm not getting money, the least I could get is credit somewhere. But that isn't happening. Apperenly M$ has been using code from FreeBSD's tcp/ip stack, FTP client, etc... and has for a long time denied it.... Is there a licence out there that is not "cancer like" but forces people who use my code to give me credit somehow?

If we don't have easy access to the DB, how are we gonna find out how many clicks we need to require for a customer to buy something. I know one click is too few, but if I can't access the database how do I know if two is OK?
I think I should point out that these benchmarks measure both the speed of the hardware and the efficency of the software (such as the compiler.)
For instance, if you don't use the cache as efficently, then the computer may have the potential to be much faster. Much more time has been spent on optimizing for the PC hardware, and that could account for at least some of the difference in speed.

The situation may be different down under, but here in the states I doubt there are many people looking for a new dial-up provider. I would think that you would need to either provide a high bandwidth connection (DSL, Cable, Wireless, Avian Carrier) or fill some sort of niche like being particularly linux friendly, or putting an emphasis on high availablility where you can assure your customers of 99% uptime etc...

Linux has been ported, and there are a good number of apps that have been confirmed to work including one of the best E-Mail clients I've seen work on a palmtop. (Althea) If I had the money I'd buy one. Plus when run on a desktop you don't have to worry about that silly hybris virus.
