...and they tested Outlook XP when Outlook 2003 is already out and sp1 for the suite is expected by May? This isn't a comparison of the next generation of e-mail clients, it's a comparison of current e-mail clients and even that claim is suspect.
I disagree. I grew up with an Atari 2600. I also had the 5200 and an original NES system. I played River Raid, Adventure, Pitfall, Defender, Pong, hell just about any game the made for the 2600 and loved them. I now have an XBOX and bought GTA3 Double Pack more in protest than anything else to those who would remove these games from the shelves simply because they do not like or agree with the content. GTA3 was great, I had a blast. GTA3: Vice City was even better in many ways. If you think it's senseless depravity then you missed the point. These games poke fun at pop culture, nothing more, nothing less. When you're willing to censor Scarface, The Godfather or The Sopranos then we'll let you get away with pulling GTA3 from the shelves. Until then, shut up and don't play these games.
I just discovered a great RSS news reader that integrates seamlessly with Outlook 2000 and newer called NewsGator. You can add feeds from NNTP as well but the nicest feature is the ability to right-click on an RSS link and select subscribe to. You can set NewsGator to check feeds at a set interval and if anything new is found it will notify you with an icon and balloon tooltip in the tray area. It's $29 but it's a nicely polished, well designed RSS news reader. The only problem I found, and this is an Outlook problem I believe, is I couldn't set the NewsGator folder home page to be the first thing I see when I open Outlook.
How the fcuk is this insightful? Do yo know what Fair Use is? Apprently not or you would know this was clearly NOT fair use. This was commercial use of intellectual property plain and simple. Apple needed to secure a license with the publishing company (this is a re-recording of the song not playing the original sound recording afte rall) to use the words in such a manner. Commercial use of intellectual property does not allow for excerpts or derivatives, period. In fact, there is no fair use provisions for commercial use of intellectual property at all. It's for this reason alone that Copyright Law MUST remain intact or commercial interests will use any damn thing they want without regrad for the artists feeelings or opinions.
"Plus, it is a huge proposal that is detailed and complicated, ripe for incompatibilities that could force users of Sendmail, Exim, Postfix, or Qmail to "upgrade" to Exchange."
Look, you didn't even have to read the article to dispute this one. You merely had to read the summary which states,
Powerhouse software vendor Microsoft and the venerable Sendmail, have formed an alliance to launch a sender authentication plug-in...
Looks like it will be difficult to force Sendmail users to upgrade to Exchange when they will be implementing the exact same technology and in fact developing the technology alongside Microsoft. There is no conspiracy here, move along.
The officer clearly stated right away that he was investigating a call about a fight between Mr. Hiibel and the woman in the video. He asked to see his ID to get his name and to make sure this was the guy. How else was the officer supposed to gather information on the suspect? Last I checked, mind-reading was not a core class at the Police Academy.
Perhaps you should eductae yourself first. If the work is turned over to the public domain than Stallman's license no logner applies as it is now a part of the pool of works that anyone can use without restraint. The GPL places restraints on how the work may be used, regardless of who benefits by this restraint. The Creative Commons was created to fill in this obvious gap but the GPL does nothing of the sort anyway. Ironically the GPL requires copyright law to exist for without it these restraints cannot be enforced as there is no legal basis to do so.
When I was growing up it was Ozzy Osbourne,KISS and D&D that caused kids to kill and commit suicide. Ozzy is still wailing away to this date, KISS is still jumping round on stage with make-up on and D&D has grown way beyond the pamphlets I sarted with. I'm sure my copy of Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack (XBOX) will seem tame by comparison to the level of reality obtained in video games 10 years from now. The only thing to do is just ride the wave and let the "grown-ups" fight it out.
Banks make money off loans. I pay back the loan 100% plus interest. Should we now reconsider how banks work too? RIAA member companies work in a similar fashion. They realize a group or artist might have some talent so they roll the dice and front them some money in the expectation that they will get that investment back and then some. More often then not the gamble is a big bust and they lose money, only to make it up on the very few that actually take off and make millions.
I wouldn't call one person's subjective opinion insightful. Personally I like the Hummer H1 and H2 styling as well as all the Jeep SUVs. What I think looks funny are the European cars that are not marketed in the US. Sure BMW makes nice cars but what new British car would any self-respecting person on this side of the pond purchase? They're butt ugly. Of course this is my own subjective opinion and not insightful at all, perhaps interesting at best.
Actually they were in violation of copyright and I question why the DMCA was involved at all. Written communcations are copyrighted and in this case since they are considered work-for-hire Diebold holds that copyright. Reproducing them or making them available for download is a copyright violation, given the five basic rights protected by copyright law.
"Sharman said the companies used Kazaa Lite, an ad-less replica of its software, to get onto the network, and that they violated its own software's license agreement by sending warning messages to people on its network."
The only copyright violation would be by the developers of KazaaLite, not the RIAA and at best there is only a license violation here. Interestingly enough, if the RIAA loses this would strengthen the use of EULAs to protect software. But no, license violations are not necessarily copyright violations and in this case specifically.

Copyright law is a federal statute and therefore falls under teh jurisdiction of federal crimes which are investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Sure there are civil and criminal penalties but this does not mean that the case is necessarily investigated by state or local police.
Reading a book isn't illegal. Distributing copyrighted intellectual property is. ISPs would be on much shakier ground and could possibly wind up being named as defendants themselves if they aren't careful. The Government could just make saving DHCP logs for a specified period of time required by law much like tax forms currently are.
If you had read the link you posted you would have discovered that the BMW which trapped the minister in his car was a 520. Windows is in the BW 7 series so how was it possible for Windows to have trapped a person in a car without being the OS which controls these systems? Even on the BMW 7, Windows only controls the entertainment, climate, and security controls. If BMW crashes because of an OS problem, you won't be able to finger Windows. Nice try though.
What?!?!? You mean to tell me that my 286 is no longer the fastest PC on the block? Damn you. Damn you to hell. I'm going back under my rock now. Technology has advanced since '96, yeah right.
I'm sure myself and many other New Englanders welcome these smaller, yet powerful, space heaters given the subzero temperatures we're having to endure.

Why don't they call it Mandash in protest? oh wait,nevermind, that's what's going on in San Francisco right now. Don't want to confuse the two.

This is still not legal. Besides, if you want the song in another format and you have the original CD of the song why not just rip it yourself?
Stupidity is not a good legal defense. Intent will kill you on this argument most of the time.

"However Congress is concerned about how to pay for the new space policy initiative in the face of a $500 billion national budget deficit."
How about you guys stop giving yourself pay raises and wasting tax dollars on pork barrel projects?
For my money I would have quoted School House Rock, not Legally Blonde 2. Bad move there.
