And, furthermore, theft IS NOT PIRACY. Piracy can *only* occur as an act of robbery, for private ends, committed on the high seas, or in the air above them.
The same as that laid down in British Law -- the 1978 Child Protection Act.
And I trust this organization because...?
Why should they care whether you trust them or not?

Bobby Fischer Found
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
Fischer claimed it would bring the fun back into the game and rid it of cheats
Thats not entirely it. Fische Random is designed to remove the advantage to be gained from memorising scores and scores of standard openings and to encourage play based on talent rather than preparation.
Google searches blogs too. So their USP is that it "scours" your hard disk and emails and lots of other "local" information as well. That's exactly what spyware does.
Hell, thats what Windows "Find" does, or find . -print | xargs grep
The important point is *what happens to that data*. Spyware collates it and sends it to its master. Blinkx says that theres doesn't do this.
I don't know about you, but I do not have any fear of being woken up in the middle of the night, thrown into a van, and being shipped off to some Siberian gulag
And you're right. Because the US doesn't have gulags in cold Siberia. They have temporary detention facilities in sunny Cuba.
But don't worry, they still don't have to give you a trial, or legal representation, or follow the Geneva convention. Not to mention the lovely treatment you might expect at Abu Ghraib...
Undeniably. But posting it on slashdot will just generate the usual "this judge is a m0r0n" idiocies. (see posts passim, and *all* the ones before mine.)
Obviously he doesn't know how TCP/IP works, how the IP address space is organized, or what DNS is (your DNS domain name is your "address", not your dotted-quad
Right. So, rather sensibly, they've imposed the status quo as a temporary measure, and the judge will use that time to find out the background to the case, and will undoubtedly receive amicus briefs informing them. Then, suitably informed, they'll (s)he'll make the decision.
Theres no reason that a judge should be expected to understand DNS and the Internet routing, any more than you should understand property conveyance law.
Those kinds of tactics are exactly what are hurting Formula 1 as a whole, and not just the Ferrari/M. Schumacher image.
No, whats hurting F1 is, on the majority of courses, its almost impossible to overtake, which means that its almost never maneuvers that win races, but consistent speed and a good pit stop strategy.
Schumi's great, but even he uses the pit stops to actually overtake (on the rare occasions when he's not on pole).
Only in America. As I point out elsewhere, they're both on Indie labels in Europe. See the word "Europe" there in the headline of the whole story? Understand yet?
I just bought Franz Ferdinand last night from iTunes and I know they have the White Stripes.
They're signed to different labels in the US than in Europe. (FF are on indie Domino in the UK, distinctly non-indie Sony in the US; white stripes are on XL and V2, respectively) Thats the difference.

There's an equivalent one in bash, too. (Goes and looks it up)

So its not spyware.
Mind the strap on that tinfoil hat.

Nonsense, the length of cricket matches is directly related to the amount of time required for the tea to brew to the requisite strength.
But don't worry, they still don't have to give you a trial, or legal representation, or follow the Geneva convention. Not to mention the lovely treatment you might expect at Abu Ghraib...
I want to see the bits where Keanu and Carrie are getting it on, and he keeps bashing his head on the extremely low ceiling that is above him.
Undeniably. But posting it on slashdot will just generate the usual "this judge is a m0r0n" idiocies. (see posts passim, and *all* the ones before mine.)

Hands up who understands the legal concept of a temporary restraining order?
Answer : It's temporary, to make sure neither party suffers to greatly until the Actual Judgement gets made.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Slashdot would like to warn all small children that pushing people inside old fridges is a bloody stupid thing to do.
(that was Mr Bun Ultoon as well, IIRC)
Well, the planet Earth is an object flying in space, and yet our surface constructions seem constrained by the force of gravity.
Schumi's great, but even he uses the pit stops to actually overtake (on the rare occasions when he's not on pole).
