Yes, company X has a monopoly on company X' branded products - thsi is even a monopoly ENFORCED by the government through copyright trademark protection. So don't expect antitrust action anytime soon.
Um since the free market minimizes profits through competition, capitalists are against it since rediced profits means less accumulation of wealth.
That aside, the "many people... dissatisfied with features" is a small vocal minority who thought Apple were going to turn the iPhone/iPod Touch platform into the horrid mess of virus/anti-virus warfare that the PC platform is. They do not want to be the ones to tell their AppleCare customer that the customer messed up their expensive gadget by downloading malware or the like.
No, they don't need to. Why should they? It's YOU not THEY, who wants to replace the software. YOU need to find a way. Bah, does the new generation of hackers need hand-holding? It's not supposed to be easy, Shirley.
The Catholics always knew the Earth was round; after all, their scientific world view was mostly based on the ancient Greeks who discovered that it was round, and even calculated a reasonably accurate radius.
How is using bit torrent to obtain data that you would otherwise have to pay for any different from gathering up a thousand people, walking into Best Buy and walking out with all the music and software on the shelves?
Because copying electronic information which leaves the original behind is 100% different from removing a physical object without leaving anything behind. The LAWS recognise this, why cannot the industry?
I am appalled victims of real piracy and theft aren't attacking the entertainment INDUSTRIES (the artists are no longer the people calling the shots) for abusing the terms. And I am waiting for the higly profitable mass-market shovelware corporations to take the next step and say IP infringers are RAPING the artists. I mean, it's another loaded word to abuse.
So if the spam crosses international boundaries into Cuba, Iran or somesuch he would also agree to being guilty of illegal export to U.S. "no trade" nations? Or does he feel he gets to pick and choose which laws apply and which do not?
Also, free speech protections do not apply to "commercial speech" which spam certainly is: thus ads etc. are regulated in ways non-commercial expressions are not.
And were it protected as free speech, then he should learn that his right to express his love for Vi4gra does not imply a duty on behalf of a third party to use their resources to publish/broadcast/transfer that "speech".
Ooh, just like Blu-Ray, then. "The Blu-ray format was developed jointly by Sony, Samsung, Sharp, Thomson, Hitachi, Matsushita, Pioneer and Philips, Mistubishi and LG Electronics."
Next you are going to say DVD must also be dead since Sony were part of the consortium that made that standard?
Dead.
But dominant when people actually used floppies. You are really reaching, you know: you are trying to make it sound like a dominant medium was a "failure" just because it's "dead" now that recordable media have moved on.
Dead outside a very niche market.
Ooh! Why don't you say Ferraris are "dead outside a very niche market" next? A niche-by-nature product is NOT dead if it dominates its intended niche!
Just because it's popular in your small part of the world doesn't mean it wasn't a market failure.
Ooh, a technology fails to become dominant and instead finds a niche you don't belong to, and it is a failure! "Look at my pretty belly-button!"
Go cry in the corner over Toshiba's dead monopoly.
Isn't that mainly just Microsoft? Toshiba is far more "equal to" HD-DVD than Sony ever was for Blu-Ray - discounting the PS3, Samsung and Pioneer sell more players for instance.
I guess that is why Samsung and Pioneer sell MORE standalone players than Sony then? Because it's "Sony's standard"?
Toshiba == HD-DVD, but a lot of companies == Blu-Ray. So it's more correct to say HD-DVD:: Beta as Blu-Ray:: VHS since much as with JVC's licensing of VHS, Sony have licensed out their technologies to other manufacturers.
There's not a smidgen of VisualAge in Eclipse; the former was a Smalltalk-based IDE family as you point out, the latter is written from scratch in Java with a custom native GUI toolkit (SWT) to mess things up.
I have used both. If Eclipse had any of the horrid mess from VisualAge in it it would have been dead, and Borland's IDE codebase (used for JBuilder and Oracle's JDeveloper) would have won even though it was closed-source. VisualAge is an IDE from the first generation of Java IDEs, when it was obvious they were trying their way along as the methods of development matured.
Yeah, I am having a whale of a time trying to play LSL 2 form the recent collection where they have scans of the manuals shipped as PDFs. In black and white. Where I am supposed to find the telephone number of a girl rendered in color in-game...
Bah on Sierra and their silly "ensure the user has the manual" protection schemes.
Yeah, the thing that mostly will affect U2 sales is that they have started making crappy music and the manager feels the need to blame someone else for fucking up.
Managers and record company executives are starting to realize that they have become leeches on the artists' output and want to remove the focus from this fact before more artists go "wait a minute..." like Radiohead, Madonna and Trent Reznor/N.I.N.
I don't mind having to pay for copyrighted works, but then the copyright holders should also have a DUTY to actually provide me with a copy. Case in point: The board game "Gunslinger" by then-publisher Avalon Hill. The company is owned by Hasbro now, but if I walk into a game store I cannot find a copy - all those made have sold out. So where can I pay and get the work in question? Only second-hand, the market that some copyright work providers appear to loathe.
"Out of print" should NOT be an option. Either the law should mandate copies be made to satisfy demand, OR the copyright should be revoked if they refused, and enter the public domain where works of art are supposed to go eventually anyway, so that others can make the copies needed.
But they are not infringing on the trademark since they use pictures og genuine Ford cars. Unless the cars are customized, in which case they will have a complaint; the modders ought to add some indicator that is no longer is a "genuine" Ford Mustang in that case.
Anyway, as others have pointed out, it is sufficient to make statements about who owns trademarks and stating that your use does not constitiute an infringement, and thus avoid any potential confusion. Then the trademark holders have no case since no attempt is being made to dilute or challenge the trademarks.
... and they are not trying to make a car that they call "Ford", or using the trademark in an infringing way; a picture of a genuine Ford car does not dilute the trademark any more than a Ford car being driven in a movie does.
Does that mean you have to rip off the logo from the car if you want to take a picture of it? If so why bother putting it back on afterwards? Does Ford like their car owners driving around in anonymized vehicles just to avoid trademark violations?

man strings
Can't remember if strings is part of Microsoft's "Unix tools for Windows" though, but Cygwin32 will do the trick.
Unless you put them in a team.

that Earth was neither flat
The Catholics always knew the Earth was round; after all, their scientific world view was mostly based on the ancient Greeks who discovered that it was round, and even calculated a reasonably accurate radius.
The Vikings, though...
An atheist is just someone who does not believe in the hundreds of gods a given "theist" does not believe in PLUS one or more extra.
Religion is a rounding error, almost. Especially the monotheistic faiths.
No, scientific theories can be proven wrong, and often are. Religious dogma... not so much.

Two different songs:
Gimme gimme gimme
Money money money

*whoosh*
"Gimme Gimme Gimme" is a famous ABBA song.
Co-developed.

You also need \ for UNC paths* and user\domain specification for NTLM I think.
