This ruling seems to say that a publisher can republish something they have a license to on a different medium. Does that mean that we can listen/view something that we have a license to on a different medium? Can this case be used to defend listening to music on an mp3 player, or copying DVDs to a hard drive? Or even, dare I say, watch DVDs in linux?
While the Windows programmers are used to taking deceptive comfort within the cozy confines of a Visual IDE, when they make the shift to write Linux programs, they are suddenly faced with the hard facts of programming as it really is.
Feedback from the Linux community has been on the order of 'you shouldn't really be talking to the devil.'
Actually, it's "Don't make deals with the devil." And, it's just plain good advice. What were they expecting? Especially since they did the exact same thing Novell did. Why were they expecting results different from Novell's?
The merger... would give one company access to more information... than any other company in the world.
There will always be one company with more access than any other company. There will always be one person with more money than any other person. There will always be one dog bigger than every other dog.
It is difficult to take any group seriously when they ask a government to violate the transitive properties of arithmetic.
You just outlined everything good about patch Tuesday. Those are the reasons that companies asked for it in the first place. However, why does Microsoft wait until Tuesday to patch 0 day exploits too? Hackers wouldn't reverse engineer those patches, because the details are available online in a more clear format.
and generally not to store sensitive user data in the countries with below average free speech policies.
Wouldn't that be a problem, since their primary headquarters is in the United States? They would have had to move a lot of servers to another country. That would cost a fortune.
Doesn't work for me either. I'm using Debian Testing (lenny) with firefox and flash, the latest versions. The site says it works with Firefox 1.5 and Flash 8. I have Firefox/Iceweasel 2.0 and Flash 9. Sometimes newer doesn't work better. Then again, it's M$, so sometimes following directions exactly doesn't work either.
If they had just hosted wmv files, I could download those and watch them with mplayer.
I looked at the code of the page that doesn't load. Sometimes, I can just figure out where the.wmv file is from the code, and then download it. I had to turn off javascript to see it, because otherwise it forwards to an error page. The page is a convoluted mess of javascript. It would take hours to piece together and figure out how it works. I hate M$. They can't do anything right, except herd sheep.
You have been misinformed, Anonymous Coward. We here in the US do not elect who we want into office. We are presented with two candidates, one placed by a big, greedy company (of sorts), and the other placed by a different big, greedy, company. We have the choice between a turd and a douche bag.

As for the GP post, he was referring to the United States Constitution declaring that it defines what America is, and what the politicians can do.
Let's say this guy is crazy. It's possible. Does anyone else think that it is a bad idea to piss him off? I mean, if I got in trouble, was arrested, and was forced to see a counselor and attend school elsewhere for writing an essay, I would be upset. If I was crazy-violent and upset, I might do a killing spree.
Maybe schools should just start treating every student with dignity and respect. The emotionally healthy students will feel good about that. And the psychopaths will be less likely to come to school with a gun.
Everyone knows that even a one-way wormhole can transmit energy, such as radio waves, both ways. So, all we have to do is send a MALP through. If the MALP sends back data, it is alive, we can go through. If the MALP gets crushed, it was either a black hole, or the Stargate was buried.
First of all, it's worth pointing out that simple and good do not exclude each other. I've seen some pretty simple AIs with simple goals, and they do well. In some games, like Vice City, the AI is usually pretty basic, but then does something stupid, like jumping off a bridge or running in front of my car.
I am impressed when an AI beats me, even after I'm experienced. Not so much if reflexes are a big part of the game. I am not impressed by simple AIs that just run towards me, and fires a gun when in range.
As for whether or not gamers appreciate good AIs, they do. Very much so. I appreciate a good AI more than graphics. However, overly-complex, buggy AIs are not as good as reasonable, simple AIs. If you can make a good AI, please spend the time to do it. It's worth it.
You didn't really say anything about your networking needs. Is this firewall just to allow the 12 employees to search the internet and communicate with customers? Will you be running web and ftp and game servers behind this firewall? How do your 400 customers factor in? Will they be using your network? How many of them will be accessing it? Are they tech customers, or do you sell something non-computer related?
When asking for a recommendation on a network product, it is important to specifiy your networking needs.
It is important in a free society that rich people have the right to buy whatever they can afford. Of course, they are rich people, so they can buy all the rights they want.
However, anyone who buys something like this is only doing it to flaunt their arrogance.
At home, on my ancient Mac running OS 9, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Vista PC, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
You neglected to incorporate the Microsoft Standard into your calculations.
I had to read that sentence twice. I think by 64k, he means something about as fast as a dialup connection. It looks to me, that he is saying that copying a file from one directory to another is as fast as downloading that same file on a (slightly faster than) dial-up connection.
A bunch of/.ers are commenting about how Windows XP takes x time to boot, and "Linux" takes y. There are hundreds of different distros, you can customize each one as much as you want. Boot times WILL vary.
I'm running Fluxbox on Debian Etch (Testing). The only things that boot are the stuff that was booting when I installed. It takes about 45-50 secs. Windows 2K, on this same machine, when I was using that, took about a min. When I was using Damn Small Linux, with a frugal install, it took about 30 secs to boot.
I've never thought "Linux is slow." I've always thought that fast boot up times were one of Linux's advantages.

True programmers only program in machine code.
This is so obviously satire. The site is called Intellectual Weapons. It regularly refers to "exploiting IP patents."
These guys are one of us. I'm surprised so many of you have been so, so duped.

I've long suspected that a contract was invalid if it was unfair, and one-sided, but IANAL. I looked up unconscionable. It seems to be what I thought.

Where to begin?
1) He didn't shoot them one by one. He had two automatic weapons. He shot them all at about the same time. They went down one by one.
2) Throw a text book at the guy? That's your solution? Keep in mind, survival of the fittest. The first to attack the guy is the next in line to die.

If these are as bad as the first two episodes, I am only going to watch them 15 times each.
I can still feel the probe up my butt, you insensitive clod.
