That was Warner Communications, which was a division of Warner Brothers. Also the Intellivision was a Mattel Product, not a division. (Not sure if you were alluding to it being a seperate company)
Just a few stories up SCO was blasting the Linux vendors for not poviding legal indemnity. Their take was "Look, if you're so sure your code isn't infringing, give your users legal peace of mind". They thought no Linux company would take them up on it. Novell with this move has stepped up to the table, anteed up, and put the ball right back in SCO's corner.
Not sure why IBm is pussyfooting arond on this one either, unless it's to make sure they don't piss off Microsoft so they'll be penalized in the retail or business support sector. Who knows why they're pussyfooting around with this.
Y'know, I think the only people who give a crap about the state of PC online gaming vs console online gaming are the people who write editorial pages for game magazines, in the hopes that their insight into the whole matter will give them fame, acclaim, and the phone number of the hottie in second hour class. Meanwhile the world will keep spinning, the gamers will keep gaming, and nobody will give a flying fig newton what the state of online gaming for their console or PC is, until they can't play X game online anymore. End of story. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Somehow I think the past four years will prove that we've been the unwitting accomplices to the worlds largest and most expensive re-election campaign.
If you don't like it, don't participate in it. There's lots of people who wouldn't mind a little incentive to put in a feature in to a program. And in the end, we all benefit, right?
Sheesh, just because you might not want to take part in it doesn't mean nobody should.
If they could figure out an RFID piece for this, this could possibly save many marriage squabbles. "Dogs Playing Poker" when he's in the room, and Anne Geddes photos when she's in the room. Just hope they're not in the room at the same time, or you might get fat kids in dog costumes playing poker.
Diskless with VNC might get you where you want to be. You can reduce the noise from drives and fans, and you'll be able to control the main machine(s) from the audio rooms.
Is it just me, or has Nokia topped itself in making the ugliest phones known to man? Good LORD, I wouldn't want to be caught with that thing as my communication's device. Ugh!
2a) Their song will get no airplay, so the label will have to send over part of their royalty to get it on the airwaves. 4a) The label will send them on a money-losing tour which the artist(s) will have to fork out $20,000 a piece just to keep the label from dropping them.
Why in the heck would anyone want to buy Linux from Sun, if their attitude is pretty much "Yeah, we'll sell it to you, but you're on your own"? Hell, if someone wants to give me money to give them a disc, with no obligation to support them, I'll run my CD-R burner into the ground to accomidate them.:)
I saw a N-GAGE at EBX this past weekend. It wasn't operable, but they did have some of the library for it. The Sega games made me look twice, but the rest of the library doesn't impress me any. Ahh well. I'd pay the $80 for the Neo Geo Pocket instead.
The difference was your case was taken up in the criminal courts. The RIAA is not a branch of law enforcement, even though they're acting like it. These are civil cases they're bringing about, and the law is different there.

If I'm going, I'm dressing up as the mime. :) If they ask me to leave, I'll hold up my donkey puppet and say "Nooooo!"

Intel sees chip futures strained
Intel strains to find new chips
Intel strains to make chips faster
etc... ad nauseum.
If the head is on a stick,
you must aquit.
Microsoft better watch out! That GPL software might corrupt their innovation!
Actually a certain shop run by a major television network preloads OOo on their machines (as part of their "Over $XXX in software preinstalled").

Instead of using Lindows, could they use "stick it to the man" instead? Lindows was such a dumb name anyway.

The sound of postal carriers everywhere.
I really hope they're successful. It'd be a shame to actually preserve what's being broadcast on television nowadays.
Please send me $1,000,000 in $20s, and I and my friends will get very aquainted with them.
Thank you.
If you count progeny, it would appear Linus is ahead. :)
