Now the world don't move to the beat of just one drum
What may be right for you, may not be right for some.
You take the good, you take the bad
You take them both and there you have

Sit, UBU, sit. Good dog
Admittedly, not as good as Seth MacFarlane, but I'm trying.
I've had a bit more time to think about his issue now, and my opinion has slid a long way towards the injustice side.
My own interpretation of free speech is 'the freedom to say anything that comes to mind, while fully accepting the concequences of what is said'. When looked at that way, libel and slander laws don't violate free speech. I get the feeling you define it more along the lines of 'the freedom to say anything without repercussion', which is a society I would not want to be a part of.
I don't see this as an injustice. In fact, I'm siding with the judge on this one. I don't think that the right to free speech is violated here. This case falls under libel and/or slander.
While it may feel wrong when interpreted as the school 'supressing' the student's right to free speech, it makes more sense when it's a case of the school protecting its staff and students from the wreckless, provoking behaviour of one student.
In addition, I don't see this as a deterrant to whistleblowers, because they actually have evidence to back up their claims. With evidence, it cannot be libel.
While adhering to specs improves compatibility among products, it doesn't necessarily promote openness. For instance, both Ford and Chevrolet make cars that run on petrol, have pedals in the same places, have steering wheels that turn the front wheels, etc. However, the designs of those cars are 'closed source', as it were.
I know, I know, it's not a great analogy, but is it cars.
The W3C defines the standards used on the 'Net. From what I've read about the proposed W3F, its purpose will be to encourage trends that increase the freedoms and openess of the Net, a role the W3C doesn't fulfill.
The '[insert country here] Idol' knock-offs are all based on a UK show.
It's not only the US that pollutes foreign airwaves. UK television is filling with homespun shite that somehow becomes popular, then gets sold off to other countries, Pop Idol and X-Factor being two prime examples.
Have you tried Warioware: Smooth Moves? That uses the Wiimote pretty well. Though I'll admit, it's the only one to do so.
Actually, thinking about it, the Wiimote is suffering a mild form of what the Sixaxis is suffering, since not a single developer has fully utilised that one either, except maybe for flOw.

Is that better than PrimoPDF? The latest version of PrimoPDF annoys the hell out of me sometimes.
I think the following applies:

JM2c, YMMV
In Firefox 1.0? Or Firefox 3.0?
When you put it that way, the whole situation stinks worse than a diarrhetic cow's first dump of the day.

IIRC, the EULA didn't pop up on first run, except on Windows, where it's expected.
It gets worse: MS outsource the anti-phishing blacklist maintenance.
Interesting though that is, miss the joke you have :P
Yoda is Indian?
I think you mean McLaren and Ferrari. AFAIK, Toyota have never been suspected of stealing info from Ferrari.

It's knock-offs like [insert country here] Idol.

What, send Mick Jagger up with a few thousand tins of Humbrol?
More likely they'll be stealing IE users away.
Wasn't that the intention?
But Al Gore needs to save us from ManBearPig!
All the info I've read says it will be free.
SP3 isn't the only software capable of crashing a router: the PS3's OS crashes my router regularly.

Two words: Wii Sports.
