It's funny how everyone is conveniently overlooking the facts, but the fact is Yahoo! has servers in France! Do French laws apply to servers in France? Yes, without a doubt, no matter how hard you try to pull the wool over your eyes.
Someone made a statement about countries only policing their own citizens whether they are a the buyer or the seller. I think almost all of us can agree with this. Well since Yahoo! is a French citizen, what is the problem here? Sounds like an american judge was just as impatient as a large percentage of you and decided to skip the details.
...sh*t... now I'm going to have to fight the urge to check out that cuties nice *ss as she passes by, or the camera's are going to catch me... no, f*ck it, it's going to take more than high tech cameras to get my eyes of the booty.
This troll should never have been moderated so high, clearly slashdot is still highly american biased. None the less...
If we don't start declaring open war on countries that disrespect our sovereignty, then foreign countries will think they can get away with pissing us off.
Would sending spy planes to your country for no better reason than disagreement with the fundamental philosophy of your government (democracy) qualify? And if so, would you be nice enough to let the offending country off the hook for the mere price of an appology?
Wake up and smell the chemical weapons. americans seem to lack the ability to objectively look at themselves in relation to the world around them, but you can't argue with the harsh slap of reality. The rapid pace of development of weaponry around the world has produced a big standoff, and over time the number of countries participating in this standoff will only increase. But nothing will happen. Nothing ever does.
As for your last comment, your homework assignment for tonight is to read about the war of 1812. You were just as cocky back then, and just as wrong.
I am seriously pondering the idea of starting an organization to pool some monetary resources and make repeated, legitimate attempts to patent the idea of patenting. If that's too broad, we could break it down to specifics: patent the idea of buying broad patents solely for the purpose of suing other companies, patent the idea of patenting genetic modifications in living things that, as far as we know, might make the adaptation themselves at some point, etc.
Which brings up my second point: if cases like this persist, I'd like to see someone try the "I didn't do anything, these crops made the adaptation naturally" argument. I'd like to see some company try to disprove that defense. The entire world around us, in my opinion, makes that an impossible task.
Can we have a counter on the front page that increments every time an article is posted with some company claiming to have a new storage medium that will hold _ terabytes in _ cubic centemetres and will cost _ dollars when it's available in _ years? Counters are fun.
Doesn't phase me, Gamecenter lacked personality. I never saw a scolding, blatently honest review on there and sites without negative reviews have no credit in my book. Obviously not every game is good. I recommend sites like http://www.shugashack.com and http://www.firingsquad.com.
There really needn't be multiple kernals. When the time comes we compile the kernal *we* want and that's what makes Linux stronger. Has Linus been turning away anyones kernal development contributions? Hello? Not that I have ever heard. Even if he has I would definately not question his judgement at this point.
If you want to see something in the kernal you are free to develop it right? So go ahead and do so... it will be easy to incorporate your work into the standard kernal once your development is relatively complete.
On a side note, supposed someone or some group wanted to make fundamental changes to the kernal ala a 3.0 release. The same rule applies really... form whatever groups you want to, start your work, and spit out an alpha example of what you are doing. Depending upon your success, you make or may not garner the interest and support of other Linux developers, including Linus himself.

It's just not running a web server is all. Gopher still works just fine, although since I've never been there till now, I wouldn't know if that's a trimmed down archive or not.

... you think that's free?

These pictures are about as scientifically significant as that 'giant thumb' I captured when I was photographing a squirrel on my last camping trip.
