The motorola that you're thinking of is now called Freescale. They fell off the face of the tech world into its armpits - embedded processors. Competition is pretty stiff in that field, too, and Freescale hasn't been doing so hot.
Especially when they're just reshipping returned RAM. That's when you find a new RAM supplier.
(true story - I worked at a computer store. Not that computer stores aren't guilty of reselling returned defective computer parts as new.)

Copyright, if I understand correctly, which given the state of things is probably unlikely, only has a notion of the performance, not of the medium. When you buy a CD, most of what you're paying for (theoretically) is not the disk, but the performance. Regardless of the piece of plastic you have in your posession, you own a copy of the performance.
Disk scratched? That's ok - you own a copy of the performance the disk contained, so backup copies are not an issue.
So at a concert, you're paying to listen to (and see) a copyrighted performance. I don't understand why it is not within your rights under copyright to keep a recording of that performance to listen to another time. How is it different from recording a TV show? That's a performance. And that was ruled legal. How's it different from recording a movie in a theater? I don't know. I don't understand that one. Look at the "issues" cropping up around digital TV - you can make an exact replica of a television show that's broadcast at a higher quality. That's a "problem" for the television industry. Not as in its illegal, but as in they don't like it. It's not illegal, which is why they pressed so hard for the broadcast flag - no laws need to be passed, they just have to get the FCC to say so.
Well, it has been ruled that the FCC doesn't have that power, so we're safe there. So why do theater managers have the power? Why does concert security have the power? In the classical, constitutional notion of copyright, I don't think they do - copyright protects the distribution of a performance (thus "copy"right) - but again, I'm hardly well educated on the legalities.
Ah... I had googled this before - before SP2, and hadn't found anything. Little did I know that what Microsoft R&D giveth, Microsoft Legal taketh away (it was in prerelease builds of SP2, but was taken out for the final release because the EULA is written such that you're only allowed to have one user on your system at a time anyway).

by buying a ticket to a live performance, are you buying a "copy" of said performance? Is it like buying a CD? In that case, is it illegal to make a recording for yourself? Or are you completely within your rights?
On a side note - I assume also, then, that there is a way to hack XP Pro to let you have someone physically in front of the computer logged in, and someone else remote desktoped in?
I think a neat way for them to "spend" the Microsoft fines would be to put up bounties on open source software and features that the commission deems valuable to itself and the EU.
The is the second mini-itx board that VIA has released based on the CN400 chipset. This chipset is supposed to have SIGNIFICANTLY improved performance, largely stemming from greatly improved memory bandwidth.
Two of the three federal appeals court judges from the District of Columbia scolded the Federal Communications Commission Tuesday over what they saw as an overstep of the agency's authority given by Congress. The reprimand came in response to the FCC's ruling on the "broadcast flag."
Competition through legislation is not capitalism. I think we've bypassed capitalism for legalism - an economy driven by laws and regulation, rather than competition for customers' interests

People have been spouting this for years, mostly by people who went to technical schools instead of college, or people who took technical jobs out of high school.
Can you honestly tell me that a potential employer who sees two resumes, one with a degree and 5 years programming experience, and one with only a high school diploma and 5 years programming experience, that he'll interview the high school graduate over the college graduate?

ummm... FUD means "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt"
Typically refers to Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt as propaganda.
Submitter's use seems fair to the original spirit to me.
PDF is so 2006. Microsoft's Metro is the new wave of device-independent presentation. Wait for it in Longhorn. Everyone else is.

no, but if there's enough interest, I'll ebay my slash id

Are they still under copyright? What license are these published under?

One difference - these Alchemy chips are NOT x86 architecture. The transmeta chips are.
