There's been a bit of a misinterpretation here. Loading your game into RAM is legal. Violating the EULA is illegal. The EULA for World of Warcraft says that you may not copy the game into RAM (run it) while glider is running. So, if you run Warcraft first, then Glider, it's perfectly legal.
However, glider must invoke Warcraft, so it knows which data is stored in which memory locations. So glider needs to re-code to attach to a running WoW, instead of doing the executing itself.
If I didn't know better, I'd say kdawson posted this. Oh, wait...
Seriously, how is this news in the slightest? AIM has supported IMing to mobile devices for many years, and people have been using IM clients on the iphone for roughly a year now.
Objective C is still used heavily on OSX, so it's not completely gone. OSX may not have window's share of the market, but we wouldn't call a language that was used on linux and nothing else gone either;)
... is there any proof this isn't just some guy's hackintosh? This could be a "we're legitimate, really!" stunt from Psystar. I'm hoping they're real, but this hasn't exactly convinced me yet.
And as a side note, do these things come with a standard vacuuming attachment? =)
Who says that an IP address can even be related to a specific computer, much less a person? The universities. The standard at several universities I've visited is a MAC filtered wired (and wireless) network; you "register" your computer in connection to your school login/password, tying the MAC address (and therefore, the issued IP) directly to your account.
Since MAC addresses are spoofable, how can they be related to a specific person at all? Exactly the problem, but that might not be taken into consideration in a courtroom.
Ugh... One person's musical web page is another's noise (and its specially galling when people have multiple videos on their web pages that all play simultaneously. PUKE!)
MySpace, anyone?
Technophobic end users should NEVER EVER be able to embed auto-play media on their page. EVER.
I've long since quit WoW (after being foolish enough to level several characters to 60 and one to 70), but I'm curious about this new class nonetheless. Everybody seems to know there will be death knights, but I have no idea what they are.
Forensics is for finding out/proving what a given person did or didn't do, it's not for tracing a crime to a person. To trace down such an event, you'd have to look through server logs, subpoena ISPs for who had which IP when, get a warrant to search their computer, then you'd use forensics to see if they really did it.
There's one small problem with storing your laptop in a minifridge (besides having less room for beer in it)...
Wouldn't a swath of power cables going into your fridge be a little bit of a tipoff? And if they weren't, wouldn't cutting holes in your fridge result in warm beer? Yuck.
Certainly not the first time godaddy has pulled the plug on a legitimate website because someone complained. I was hosting a parody website for a while that was registered at godaddy, and they pulled the plug because some people didn't like the content.
Nowadays I use moniker, but that's not due to careful comparisons of all the top registrars; it's because insecure.org uses them.
This seems to have been overlooked by the writers of the article and by others, but truecrypt was already supported on OSX:

My question is which of the two is preferable.

Consists of just one feed: http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot It's devoted to up-to-the-minute cowboy boot fashion trends.
Just like the popular "downgrade" from Vista to XP, the white house should "downgrade" from Exchange to Lotus Notes.

We've all pretty much agreed that the standardization of OOXML sucks... why not let the ISO know, instead of discussing amongst ourselves?
Don't click parent links, they're NOT friendly. After enough -1s, does your account get deleted?

What is a death knight?

I suppose that you'll need to have a national ID card before connecting to this second internet.

Is without question Portal. It's the only non-work-related thing I've booted into windows for all year (and I did it more than once, too).
