I guess you'd be okay if Microsoft tacked a few pieces of UI on to Linux and sold it without releasing any source at all? Source code wants to be free, too!
Are you people all inbred? It was a joke, a form of sarcasm in fact. I was referring to the people spelling it the wrong way (with an e) in the second sentence. In fact, I know how to spell other words like "asterisk" and also correctly use "its" instead of "it's" in the proper cases. If the rediculousness (see, there's sarcasm again) of the situation is beyond you, maybe you're not ready for Slashdot.
I'm pretty sure he meant rediculous, unless the hundreds of idiots posting on the internet every day are spelling it wrong too. This is a new spelling error, which confuses me greatly - I swear it's doubled in frequency over the past year.
All of you people saying how lame it is to give someone a free OS that they'll have to spend time attempting to use are missing the point. Maybe he doesn't want to be invited to Christmas next year? It's a very clever ploy to get himself disowned!

Hey slashbots, I realize this isn't the most complex thing you can do with a PivotTable. It's a simple example of something you can't quickly/easily do from just sorting and filtering. And only one of you has posted a better example so far. But thanks for the unconstructive criticism, fucktarts!

You can use pivot tables to come up with tables like this (but with correctly calculated values:)):
Age Avg Height -------------- 22 190.5 23 244 24 174.5
For the most simple case, take any N-dimensional data, choose one of the dimensions to be your rows, choose one of the dimensions to be your columns, and choose a function of a dimension to be your field values. The more dimensions and data points you have, the more useful this becomes.
The ruling says you're required to tell the police your name, not show them your ID. Where did it say anything about requiring to produce a driver's license?
A not-unreasonable collection of CDs compressed with FLAC would be pressing the limits of a 60 Gb drive. When you consider lossless audio (or near-lossless like high-kbps mp3/aac), the large drive sizes are quite reasonable. If you only listen to 128kbps pop singles, fine by me, but don't go around raining on other people's parades. If you don't need it, don't buy it, and market pressures will adjust production accordingly
"You don't think there is a ford's jiffy lube in the US?"
That's not what I said, or at least what I meant. I can't open a store called "Ford Oil Change" and expect to not get sued for TM infringement. It's intentionally exploiting another brand's identity.
Microsoft makes FrontPage, which is a web design tool. Also, their bCentral service provides small businesses with web storefronts, so in a way they are doing web design. Also, a "reasonable" person can't possibly have any idea how many different computer-related markets Microsoft is involved in, so it's totally reasonable that a person would think that web design is Microsoft's latest business venture.
He does web design. Should I be able to make a Jiffy-Lube type store called Ford? I think any "reasonable" person would assume in both cases that the same company is at work, especially since Microsoft has its hand in pretty much any software-related market.
As an aside, for made-up words like Microsoft, the trademark dilution rules are much stricter - I can't make a Verizon dish soap.
If Microsoft enforcing its trademark against MikeRoweSoft is an evil-empire action, what kind of precedent are we setting for other companies? I'm just going to start companies called Banc ov Amerika, Koka-Kola, Jonsen and Jonsen, Redd Hat Linucks, and Appul.
This guy said himself that he intentionally made a homophone of Microsoft just to mess with them. It's a clear-cut case of trademark infringement. I don't see the problem here.

I'm sure Apple's announcement of profits increasing 48% had nothing to do with it.
So run the installer as admin. There is a "run as" option for a reason (the same reason su exists on *nix)
Whew, that was hard. Can I take a break now?
If fixing a bug hurts users more than it helps them, is it really a bug?
I guess you'd be okay if Microsoft tacked a few pieces of UI on to Linux and sold it without releasing any source at all? Source code wants to be free, too!
Can anyone explain to me why it's my right to violate copyright law while on the internet?
Interesting find, but what's up with that caption?
Mod parent up!

"With all those quid pro quos out of the way..."
If you don't know Latin, it's probably best not to carpe diem your words like that.

Here at /. we have a long history of mispelling AMD products, going all the way back to the Athalon!
