The EU parlament are going to vote for software patents next week - so this is just a PR stunt to get the parlament members to think that Linux is safe and thus approve software patents in EU!
"Thats not spyware! Since they have visited my website they are my customers and thus I therefore have their expressed permissions to install software on their computers to be able to send targeted promotions to them. "
Yes, and the poeple that are so concerned with complaining about this could instead use their energy to help the free implementations of Java to implement those missing features.
You have not read the licinse for Ms Frontpage - like where it says that you cant use the software for saying anything bad against Ms or never ever more be able to use a Ms product ?
Or have you not heard when Ms Hotmail had a user agreement that gave Ms copyright to all mails composed in hotmail ?
"accusing the organization itself of illegally downloading films and games."
Downloading ? No its uploading they are accused of. One informant they hired was the main one responsible for uploading films, music and computer programs to a computer at a ISP who they later got the police to raid and take for evidence.
The thing is a whole mess with basically everyone involved having been accused of misconduct or unlawful activities - ISP, police and the APB.
Company B also has a better product - a product that in less than half a year has grabbed 6 per cent of the market.
In September it will be over 10 per cent and continue to increase. Even if IE7 maybe will stop that market share increase for Firefox it will still be an inferior product with bad support for CSS.
Note that even if people talk about IE7 as being out in the summer - its only a buggy beta! The real release will not be out until 3-6 month afterwards - when Firefox will have a marketshare well over 10%.
The tide is here and it is fast. At the time IE7 will be out - and as a product that is inferior to todays Firefox - Firefox will have continued to evolve into something even better than it is today.
Competitors are trying to catch up with Firefox - because today its the best product in the market - of course its a very serious player who may well within the next 2-3 years time be the #1 browser on the net.
Remember back in the mid-80ies - there was a OS from Ms that was called Xenix - based on a obscure OS from Bell Labs called UNIX - Xenix was selected as the main multi-user OS for IBMs latest AT based ranged of computers at that time.

Html files can be served from the local file system just fine.
Just move to asia and buy the starter edition - its much cheaper.
Yes - and as the constitution are written - copyright can be extended to 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 years and still be limited !
The founding fathers never though of that.
The reason WIPO has acted in the way they have are because of lobbying from RIAA and the likes.
Whats needed are the right kind of lobbying.
Its already beeing worked on:

Very good solution - the terrorist only have to pull of a scam and inpersonate an peace officers to get arms onboard and hi-jack a plane.

A spyware maker's defense:

I dont know what is more disturbing;
- that the students answered yes to more goverment censorship
- or that the student are so uneducated/dumbwitted so they cant comprehend the question.

Then it will no longer be a problem!
Minix was a teaching tool to teach OS design concepts - with source.
Well, anyone who expressed anything else then the 'sure' fact that the sun was going around the earth was excommunicated by the church and burned.
So it was not really much of a choice.

Just live your life - it will take you 50 years to go 50 years into the future - but its worth it!
Well now its not only you who can chance it its the store - read Dell - because before the store could not change it!
The really good thing are that the one who buy the N version can get a better media player - for example one who has no DRM in it.
So its a happy day for anyone who likes freedom - I suspect that it will sell well in the US too if not Microsoft makes it illegal to do so.
Anyone who wants a cheaper version.
They probably just add realplayer or mplayer so the ones who buy it can play media anyway - and without DRM.
Hes the same crap that you in US of A call senator.
Visual Studio sucks - it does not run on Linux!
Well, then this is an excellent opportunity to put efforts into improving the gjc - aint it ?
Maybe its news to you but .NET is nothing but free.
It may be gratis if you buy the operating system from MS - buts its not in any way free.
Actually MS was not forced to drop Java at all.
It was more like they did not want to follow Sun license - so they stopped producing it.
