Microsoft has basically documented its specification It seems our definitions of basically differ quite radically. I don't call a 6,000 page specification which still has stuff left out, making it impossible to implement, as basically.
Actually, hassling blacks and asians will only force the terrorists to start employing whites. So it won't help in the long run. But it might until the terrorists make the switch, if they haven't already. Who knows if they have, thanks to the police only hassling the asians and blacks and ignoring the whites, we don't know.
Have you got any evidence to back this up? Because poor people are more likely to commit crimes (at least crimes you'll get caught for) and in America unfortunately a black person is more likely to be poor then a white person (thanks to all of those decades of racism). So therefore a black person truly is more likely to commit a crime. It's not the police's fault, it's not a genetic trait of black people, it is a social one we have imparted onto them through a series of unfortunate events.
I prefer companies to not steal standards and to actually adhere to published, well documented and open standards. Microsoft is trying to steal the OOXML standard with their tampering of the approval process. What's so confusing?
The option is obvious of course. To adhere to standards they haven't stolen. Or are you trying to claim that Microsoft hasn't been tampering with the standard approval process?
GPL people are willing to help those who also want to spread the same freedoms down the road, rather then say a closed source company like Microsoft. By porting code to a BSD license they may be helping a closed source company (e.g. Microsoft) within the week. That's something GPL people would prefer not to do.
So its okay for some companies not to do it (e.g. Microsoft) but not okay for other companies (e.g. Red Hat)? Seems like this guy just hates the GPL and is using a situation HE allowed to happen to spread fud about it.
So Microsoft does a whole bunch of things that are "non-compliant" and then fixes the ones its called on in a Service Pack over 12 months after the "non-compliant" code is sold? Wow, that's simply amazing justice there.
Most of the biggest demands for broadband probably come from people who illegally download and/or upload copyrighted content. If those acitivities were forced to stop, those people would quite possibly be happy with dial-up. I bet that isn't a risk Australian ISPs are willing to take.
That's the difference between your side and TorrentSpy's. Your company is defending itself and has (presumably) done nothing illegal. On the other hand TorrentSpy is protecting people who are in all likelihood pirating movies, music and/or games and as such have broken the law. Therefore while your company wants to retain evidence to prove its innocence, TorrentSpy wants to destroy evidence to protect the, in all likelihood, guilty.
No, I put Windows on it. I (unfortunately) knew what I was getting when I installed Windows. When I put in a Sony music CD, I was expecting to get music, not spyware. Slight difference.
Isn't it ironic that the consumer vigorously defends his right to "choice" but won't make a move until the choice is made for him? Yeah. After all no consoles were bought in significant numbers until the Wii was chosen, oh wait....
Consumers want and demand choice all the time. They've simply learned that the market supporting two high-end video formats simultaneously is unlikely (see Beta vs VHS) and so are unwilling to invest in a format that will soon die.
Your use of my house and car is an invasion of my privacy. Whose privacy am I invading by publishing a 95 year old book without the copyright owner's permission?
Given the law of statistics and how commonplace illegal downloading of music is. I imagine you're almost always with the RIAA when they sue someone? Because the law is the law is the law?
Its always great to see pro se defendents actually doing good, so thanks for the article. It does help restore some faith in the legal system in a cynical society.

You mean where the Protestants and Catholics just love each other to death? I think I prefer not making sweeping generalizations thanks.

This isn't the correct step 2 though. This simply hides step 1, rather then fixes it.

Wow, that sounds so easy for a non-Linux user. I don't know why more people don't jump over to the OS.

I thought this stuff was state of the art for those backward hicks?

I don't think there are many Mexicans in space, so no alien civilization should get it.
Glad to see NASA focusing on the important stuff when it comes to space.

You mean how Pepsi demands a fastfood chain not stock Coke?

Heh, A fisherman reports he saw a baji river dolphin only last week. When asked where he said "on my plate"
