Shouldn't that list be somewhere in public records for the case - it's part of the legal documents for the court and the case wasn't sealed.. hmm.. time to Google hunt methinks.
Neat idea - but then Google would be held liable for copyright infringement as the site would not be "displayed an the author's original intent". Although I wonder if they could get away with saying it's a parody...
I was thinking about this and have a question for you:
Suppose Cringley did 3-5 separate shows that covered a topic of interest to you - let's call it "DMCA and You" Suppose that Spencer Katt did another 2 or 3 shows and released them in the same format (raw footage and use as you want).
Now, Tom Brokaw (NBC) gets arrested due to interviewing someone regarding Scientology because the broadcast is distributing copyrighted material and some editor needs to put together a quick Dateline episode regarding how Scientology was able to use the DMCA to get Brokaw arrested. He goes and grabs the source from Cringley and Katt, cobbles together an indepth segment and wows the general public with information about why it happened and how to make it stop.
Isn't this the same as using assorted segments of Open source software to generate something completely new?
(okay - I've been reading too much slashdot over the past few days...)
That'd be a slashdot victim really quick. There was something to running Pine, a DOS Window, RN and WordPerfect all on the same machine. And cutting/pasting between the windows.
Umm.. why would you do this when you could let your web server figure out which website the person is trying to reach via host header? You sure you aren't trolling?

A few months ago my wife picked up the phone bill from her Mom's house and noticed a different long distance company (she's happy with AT&T there - I prefer MCI... go figure) Qwest had suddenly picked up the long distance service -- she called their customer service department and they said they had a tape of her Mom or her (one of the folks paying the bill) approving the request. When they played the tape back, it was all in Spanish! Interestingly enough, although both my wife and her mom speak Spanish fluently, they only use it when talking about me, and never answer the phone or conduct conversations with telemarketers in it. It turns out that Qwest had some enterprising folks that were going through various 'ethnic' and 'poor' neighborhoods and slamming them across the board because most people don't even pay attention to their long distance provider. Needless to say the Public Utilities Commission here in California were interested...
"And politicians get up and say "Mothers have to choose between getting gas for work, or buying food for their children."

I take it you don't live in the Los Angeles area or the Silicon Valley where traffic can make a 15 mile drive take 2 hours and the majority of folks live more than 15 miles from work. (And don't even get me started when it actually rains around here, and public transportation as an alternate - at least the bay area has BART...) .sig-free - I gave up.sigs for Lent
Constituent = Voter Voter = Person Person != Corporation Person = Employee of Corporation Employee of Corporation = Unemployed due to M$ actions Maybe he is a stand-up guy, but then I generally think the worst about politicians...
Take the letter, rewrite it in your own words (post it somewhere to have additional folks review it for spelling and grammatical syntax if you're not sure/don't trust your own writing) and send it in again. Especially to the representatives that are members of your political party. (I'm making the assumption that you're 18 or older - if younger, convince your parents to sign it as well.) Form letters are ignored - those can be done by the hundreds nowadays. Somewhat humble advice...
One site: whitehouse.com. It isn't a cybersquatting issue when done as a parody, and the folks at PETA shouldn't have won. Just another case of bad judicial decision.

That's why he'd lease the servers and software from some outfit like Dell. And get the support services from EDS or IBM... net equity: 0.
We really need to get a mod of +1 Sarcasm...

Actually, you opt-in when you decide to use the gadget. You can opt out by turning off the service/not using it.
1) I still haven't seen an "Exchange" virus. Could you kindly point one out that exploits Exchange (and not Outlook)?
2) Learning curve to 'change' the behavior of stuff is high no matter which product you're using... philosophy or not.
Novell eDir -- highly recommended. Cross platform, etc.

Hi folks,
In my current and previous jobs, I've been in charge of small Citrix server farms. The pros are:
* You can continue to use 'cheap/old' hardware to connect and the backend servers just need to be fairly beefy.
* There's a Citrix client for almost every platform out there - if it can run java, it can run the Citrix client.
* It works okay over a 28.8k connection and can be really zippy over a 128k connection or better.
Cons:
* Graphics-intensive apps -- do *NOT* do this over Citrix. Bad. Very bad. Performance will more than suck.
* One or two users can max out the Citrix server's processors depending on what they're doing.
* You absolutely positively have to know what your applications will be doing server-side otherwise you'll hate your setup completely.
That's my advice from the field...
Hmm.. troll alert.
(Plus - the rest of the world did.. they just plugged into the U.S. internet - which is what an Internet is - a network of networks.)

The fact that you guys know the exact price and cost difference between the two products frightens me to no end...

They just have to wait a few million years and Los Angeles'll be next door to San Jose anyways courtesy of the San Andreas.
In regards to movies that mix comic books, try Tank Girl. Personal opinion only...
