Lego loses it's unique right to make Lego blocks
Luxemburg - It'll be hard to swallow for the Danish manufacturer Lego now that the European Court of Justice has decided Wednesday that everyone can make a block that fits the original legoblock.
Lego had gone to the European Court of Justice battling against the Canadian competitor Mega Brands, who has brought a block on the market that fits Lego's. The Court ruled today that the design of Lego is not protected by European trademark and that there can be no such thing as an unique right.
The Lego block was invented in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen in the Danish city Billund. The name LEGO is derived from the Danish words "LE GOdt" (play good). Later the word appeared the word could be interpreted in Latin as "I gather" (or 'I choose' or 'I read').
LEGO is a Danish toy manufacturer that became famous because of the colored plastic blocks. The blocks are sold under the name "Lego"; that way they refer not only to the manufacturer, but it also became a generic brand. The manufacturer is the biggest toy manufacturer in Europe with a revenue of 7823 billion Danish Krone ( 1049 billion Euro or 1337 billion dollars ) in 2006. Meanwhile, LEGO has won the price "Toy of the Century" twice.
The LEGO Group is the fifth biggest toy manufacturer in the world.
Ballmer's net worth is 15 billion dollars for the moment. I don't really think his wealth is linked to how Windows is received. He can just as easy say "Fuck You Guys" tomorrow and go live in a condo on the moon.
Man, I would love it if you were right but face it, nVidia still controls the largest part of the market. The reason nVidia isn't opening up their specs is because they don't have to. That's the big problem with a monopoly, you don't have to give a shit. And that's exactly the same we've been getting from Microsoft. However, there is hope. The Vista failure is biting Microsoft in the ass so hopefully this will also happen in a way for nVidia and give us some OSS drivers. If everything else fails, there is still Nouveau.
Only up half an hour and already slashdotted. Looks like their servers are not as strong as they were last time. Not very smart to ask about a million of surfers to download a couple of megabytes from thir servers.
This doesn't replace the X11 standard. It's just another implementation of it. I guess this means porting applications is unnecessary, except for maybe a relinking. The chances that X11 gets replaced are pretty small but the replacement of X.Org seems a bit more plausible.
Now only to convince nVidia to release their drivers for this new X. As long as these things don't happen, this probably won't take off. Man, we really need OSS drivers.
No, they can regenerate 12 times. So we can still switch actors until the Thirteenth doctor, where they will have to invent a way to give him new "lives". The Master succeeded in this before he died permanently.
So? When a Doctor dies, be it from old age or as always in the series in a violent way, they regenerate again to another form, presumably much younger. The second Doctor looked 30 years younger than the first.
Why would *bleep* do this? It really disrupts the flow of the song. Still, this doesn't look as one of *bleep*-*bleep*'s best so I'm not going to look the uncensored version up on *bleep*. Good night everyone here on *bleep*...
If Obama has 63% and McCain only 16%, then this is no battleground state. Obama would just own the place without any hiccups.
Also, I wonder why so little Priests voted on Obama and so little hunters on McCain? Is this because the number of people interviewed is way too low or is there any real causal relationship between your WoW character and your political affiliation. And why on Earth is there a HUGE difference between Alliance and Horde.
Even the most basic programs need more than a gigabyte of backend libraries in Windows Vista. You can probably program the complete UI of Amarok in one program. But that would probably be tens of megabytes itself, would bloat the program completely and would make reuse of code really hard.
It seems you don't grasp the concept of libraries.
I've had none of the problems you just described using Ubuntu on an Asus EEE. It also seems really improbable an Ubuntu __EEE__ remix would have problems with something as basic as the scripts for the backlight.
Still that probably means that Windows also can't boot. For XP it even mattered whether the disk was a slave or a master. On master, it booted fine, on slave, it only outputted (put out?) : NTLDR?#Ã
If you're happy with XP Tablet, why change? Anyway, for something like that, I won't advise anything else than some sort of Unix, Ubuntu should fare well with 512 MB RAM or maybe Xubuntu would do better in this case.
Bullshit. If you installed Ubuntu the correct way, using the install wizard, then it will use an UUID to define the root filesystem. That means that no matter how much you change and remove drives, it will try to boot from the partition that the same UUID.
Who says there is more matter than antimatter in the universe? Has anyone ever gone to the Andromeda galaxy? So how do we now it consists of normal matter? Doesn't matter react the same as antimatter in every possible way?
Great because Microsoft makes all drivers for Vista, just like the Linux kernel developers do for Linux. I hate these false comparisons, if every company out there would write drivers for Linux and if their company depended on that, there would be no problems for Linux.
All in all, the Linux driver model is way better than that of Windows, if only because it's open source.

My English is fine. I was just in a hurry to translate it before it would be lost in the sea of inane AC comments.

According to Google: 1049 euros is 1 336.7407 U.S. dollars. I just rounded it up correctly.

Can anybody shed any light on my questions?

And who will be permitted to own a TV and a camera at the same time you think?
That's weird.
Still that probably means that Windows also can't boot.

Sorry, no. Firefox had 8 million in one day, OOo.org has had 3 million in 1 week. That means Firefox has been downloaded more by a factor 18.

I live in Belgium and Scarlet is my ISP but I honestly had absolutely no idea this was going on.
Damn, damn, damn, I thought I was safe from this American bullshit here.

It was a joke. Funny...
Jesus, I have no problems at all with Windows users.
Gonna try this one out on the College Network right now. Shouldn't be using Windows if they don't want all their files deleted now should they?
