  1. Actually, it is proper English on Three little words - You've been sued · · Score: 1

    "You have got mail" OK for American and British dialects

    "You have gotten mail" OK for American dialect only. "Gotten" transformed into "Got" sometime after the Colonies were founded.

    But in any case "You've got mail!" in the breathlessly excited voice is ANNOYING.

    End of language rant...

  2. In that case... on Three little words - You've been sued · · Score: 0

    You forgot "Have a nice day" ;-)

  3. Preliminary injunction was rejected on Three little words - You've been sued · · Score: 1

    The lawsuit goes on. So, for the moment, they can continue to use the annoying "You've got mail!" phrase (But why they'd want to...)

  4. MacOS X is built on BSD Unix. on QuickTime 4 Streaming Server to be Open Source? · · Score: 1

    MacOS X is NOT NextStep. MacOS X is built on top of BSD Unix. It will be fully POSIX compliant. Porting from BSD will be easy. Sheesh...Some people go to any lengths...
