Wrong. If it's not mentioned in the contract, then by default they have the same rights to mail you as if there was no contract.
Why would the contract, that doesn't say they can't mail you, suddenly take away their US Postal service granted right (for the price of a stamp) to mail you?
Since when does anyone need your permission to mail you anything? I went to the post office and asked them how I go about getting permission to mail someone, but they just looked at me funny.

Turns out it couldn't have been possible, as the prototype AmigaOne at that time was not functioning, as Escena cancelled their plans to make the chipset.

Wrong.
The "somebody" strongly felt that ide-scsi was not just ugly but _evil_, and that the syntax and usage of "cdrecord" was absolutely stupid.
That somebody was me.
ide-scsi has always been broken. You should not use it, and indeed there was never any good reason for it existing AT ALL. But because of a broken interface to cdrecord, cdrecord historically only wanted to touch SCSI devices. Ergo, a silly emulation layer that wasn't really worth it.
The fact that nobody has bothered to fix ide-scsi seems to be a result of nobody _wanting_ to really fix it.
So don't use it. Or if you do use it, send the fixes over.

The back-and-forth between Davidsen and Torvalds has continued, and as a result more and more of Torvalds disdain for the ide-scsi and cdrecord interface has bubbled to the surface. Torvalds has said, among other things, that:
* "anybody who uses cdrecord has either been confused by the silly SCSI numbering"
* "Some people ended up having to boot with ide-scsi enabled to burn CD's, but then if they wanted to watch DVD's (on the same drive), they needed to boot without it."
* "the old cdrecord interfaces are an UNBELIEVABLE PILE OF CRAP!"
* "It's an interface that is based on some random hardware layout mechanism that isn't even TRUE any more, and hasn't been true for a long time."
* "It's bad from a technical standpoint (anybody who names a generic device with a flat namespace is just basically clueless), and it's bad from a usability standpoint. It has _zero_ redeeming qualities."
There's more, but that's enough to give you a sense of Torvalds' unhappiness with the whole approach of both one particular (though very popular) app and the ide-sci module itself.

Obviously not, you can't mod threads you post in.

Don't use IDE-Scsi, no need to anymore. 2.6 supports direct IDE CDBurning.

Moderation of parent was unfair.
Where do you see "the right to privacy" in the Constitution?

Actually the first ammendment is a limitation that is pointed at the government, not the people.
The Constitution is not a "list of rights the people shall have", it's a "List of things the government shal not be allowed to do"
They did a better job with the source compatibility. :)
Amiga applications need only be recompiled with the included native GCC to have a native Amiga app on x86

There's a ringing endorsement.
Not that I'd switch from Gentoo anyway.
