I don't speak legalese; I'm getting a vague notion of this: 1. The RIAA sued someone 2. The someone filed counterclaims (a countersuit) 3. The RIAA formally tried to dismiss the counterclaims 4. The defense formally opposed
On the biometric front, some fingerprint scanners claim to be able to detect duress. Since an unwilling person would necessarily be under duress, no court order could overcome that however compliant the defendant might be.
Marketing BS
There, fixed that for you (no, there isn't any boldface; look carefully).
There's the imaginary Unix copyrights. Even the court(s) agree(!s) that they belong to Novell, but SCO will just move to Scandinavia and sue someone else.
OP means he copies the offending URL to the clipboard, mungs it, and THEN pastes it to the location bar (URL bar ("awesome bar" in firefox)). JS is not involved at all.
LoC is meaningless: if(x){
doSomething(); }else{
doSomethingElse(); } versus if(x) {
doSomething(); } else {
doSomethingElse(); } That's a difference of 3 lines. Multiply that by the number of if-else blocks alone, then consider that this also affects loops, switches, etc. LoC is basically a composite measure of coding style and complexity. In other words, it's meaningless.
An example of the difference: I can pretty much make a libel suit impossible by clearly framing every statement I make as my opinion, rather than as fact. As far as I can tell, this bill doesn't appear to care whether the speech was presented as fact or opinion.
IANAL, this isn't legal advice. You're wrong. If I write "It is my opinion that John Doe robbed a bank." on my blog, he can and probably will sue me for libel, and I would probably lose.
RTFA. They may have targeted 1.1, but they deliberately chose to make it as incompatible as possible with other implementations (e.g. OOo) while still technically complying with 1.1. 1.1 vs. 1.2 is irrelevant here.
What if the EU decides to declare the ISO specification of OOXML as unacceptable (or equivalent) and require that, in addition to complying with the ODF ISO spec., applications which wish to be viewed by the EU as compliant must work fully with OOo. In other words, if the EU did this, people couldn't use MS Office's native format, and they couldn't consider ODFs produced by MS Office to be standards compliant unless they open in OOo (two way compliance would be required, actually). Of course, IANAL, and IANALegislator.

Discussing the speed of it in relation to XP is sort of disingenuous... it runs great on modern hardware, and does a lot of things XP will never do.
You mean like artificially degrading movies and stuff (i.e. DRM)?

2. The someone filed counterclaims (a countersuit)

Is that vague notion correct?
the RIAA != the police
You'd be screwed. Do you really think the RIAA cares about little you (or little me, for that matter, or little anyone else)?
And if/when the RIAA can't find anything, they'll just claim he did exactly this and demand a more thorough (read: privacy-violating) search.

You mean like Bill Clinton lost some documents under subpoena? I'm sure the judge will just love you for doing that.
fork while fork;
But is there a precedent for "illegal software"? Who determines what I can run and what I can't run on my system? [snip]
Personally, I think the first amendment probably does. IANAL.
These people, perhaps?
NO! Please don't add what is effectively a CAPTCHA at the boot level! It'll only annoy me!
Hex, you idiot.
Prior art isn't important when you patent troll.

I don't have internet access you insensitive clod! There's no place like 169.254.1.1
Try Xfce, or E17 (Enlightenment bleeding-edge-alpha-edition) if you're feeling adventurous.

Not for XSS, which only applies to "untrusted attacks trusted", and doesn't work if there are no "untrusted".
Use an (x|ht)ml entity, sometimes they work (e.g. & is &).
LoC is meaningless:
if(x){
doSomething();
}else{
doSomethingElse();
}
versus
if(x)
{
doSomething();
}
else
{
doSomethingElse();
}

I guess you had something interesting to say after that comma,
