So, even if information to the contrary from reliable sources is posted multiple times on here, it makes no difference to the Slashdotters who just need any vehicle (read that as "excuse") to spew their infantile jabberings re: Microsoft. Can anyone provide any evidence that Microsoft has any culpability here? Put up or shut up!
Once again... I heard it was a LAMP system that was in use! No - check that - I heard it was OSX! No - check that - I heard it was BSD! No - check that - I heard it was...!
What does being Jewish, Catholic, Protestant... have anything to do with BitTorrent and the technical/business issues? It's an example of immaturity at best!
I think the infantile comments of the typical Slashdotters regarding Microsoft are so incredibly typical. I would doubt that the underlying O/S would be any off-the-shelf commercial or Open Source system.
Can't someone here "moderate" those immature comments? Or are only comments that point out this immaturity the ones that get "moderated"?

It seems to an incredibly rare day that any article about Apple that even tilts toward "negativity" is ever posted here in the hallowed halls of anti_MS-dom! God forbid the rabid reaction from people like you if it does!
My point is that the constant beat of the anti-Microsoft drum while implicitly and/or explicitly blessing/ignoring/excusing (well you get the point I think) the same stuff from Apple is inexcusable. Microsoft = Apple and Apple = Microsoft. They both have their strengths and they both have their weaknesses as technologies and corporations. It's the infantile behavior of a good number (most ???) of the/.'ers when they choose to be so myopic that is infuriating.
You could check Borders or Barnes and Noble for books on elementary school reading and writing skills. Please enlighten me as to where in the original post there was any attempt at humor. Twit!
So it's okay for Apple and their cult members to use Open Source software "to make their lives better" because you didn't seem to call them out by name.
Damn hypocrite!

In an attempt to out-maneuver OSx86 kernel hackers, Apple has changed their APSL open-source license. Semthex, who has worked on a few of the more popular hacked kernels himself, found this passage in their new license:
"This file contains Original Code and/or Modifications of Original Code as defined in and that are subject to the Apple Public Source License Version 2.0 (the 'License'). You may not use this file except in compliance with the License. The rights granted to you under the License may not be used to create, or enable the creation or redistribution of, unlawful or unlicensed copies of an Apple operating system, or to circumvent, violate, or enable the circumvention or violation of, any terms of an Apple operating system software license agreement."
While the license only applies to source posted after this license modification, it will cover all sources beyond those associated with OS X 10.4.8. Another clever security change from Apple.

Makes me wonder why is it only Microsoft that ever gets mentioned negatively in this "impartial" Slushdolt world. Does Steve feed you all the Apple-Aid intravenously?

Twits!
I wonder if it is LAMP based! Or maybe OSX! Or maybe BSD! Or maybe...
Maybe is is LAMP based?

So now Slashdotters are anti-Semitic as well?
So I see that I was moderated (lost a point). What a surprise! Still no mature response to the inane drivel about Microsoft!!!

Hey buddy! Google is charging $50/month. Why no outcry for them?
We can pay them more than 3x than what MS charges and we love it!

Well, of course! Isn't everything? Slashdotters are idiots!
1) It was not iTunes that uncovered any alleged hoax! It was CCDB (if at all)!
2) I guess that any info provided via the vaunted iTunes product must be suspect as well.

So - Mr. High_And_Mighty - what "tactic" is Microsoft allowed to use that doesn't cause you such angst?
So it's okay for Apple and their cult members to use Open Source software "to make their lives better" because you didn't seem to call them out by name. Damn hypocrite!

Slashdot is a waste of bits and bytes...

Love the quotes:
- "the lowest form of hypocrite"
- "the Mac, the iPod and the upcoming iPhone all are DRMed to the gills"
- "FairPlay is an illegal technology whose main purpose is to lock the consumers to the total package provided by Apple by blocking interoperability"
The oh-so-thin veneer is showing!
