Did you miss the part of the title that said "ultra-dense"? As in they packed more atoms of it into the cubic centimeter than you would see in a normal amount of it.
If the latter case, then Due Process (of the "substantive" as opposed to the "procedural" variety) would be involved, because that's the basis of the Incorporation Doctrine.
And that is the basis of their decision which is why I said what I did because I had actually read the ruling and not just the summary.
No it was just a poorly worded version of saying that Qt uses the native graphics API to render it's widgets so it matches the look-and-feel of the platform.
I agree. Rather than just this being isolated breaches of information it's much better that when attacked they have access to everyone's info! Brilliant!
The information wasn't accessible through the public site. The problem was that the server compromised through the public website also contained the private databases.
Why is it OK for cable companies to "store video for later use by subscribers"... but MP3.com was shut down for doing the exact same thing?
You mean other than the fact that cable companies actually license the content they broadcast and MP3.com didn't? Yeah, I'm sure it wasn't that at all.
Yes, I know Nokia tri-licensed it with the LGPL as an option. The point was that the GP was making it sound like it was closed source before Nokia came along which isn't true since anyone could freely look at the source for a decade before that.
Qt was open source long before Nokia bought Trolltech. The issue was that the original license they used didn't allow you to redistribute modifications and then the subsequent Q Public license, which was a free software license, wasn't compatible with the GPL. Then in 2000 Trolltech released it under the GPL. So I'm not sure where you got that Nokia open sourced Qt, since it had been open source for close to a decade before Nokia came along.

Shut up you tool.

That would have to be one hell of a stock swap since IBM's current market cap is $137 billion.

See this post.
They are to rule based on law established by the Legislature and approved by the Executive.
They did. It's this new thing called "The US Constitution".
No it was just a poorly worded version of saying that Qt uses the native graphics API to render it's widgets so it matches the look-and-feel of the platform.
However, I still think that someone should not be able to get away with a crime on a technicality.
Good for you. Some of us actual value due process and police following legal procedures.
Due process is the principle that the government must respect all of the legal rights that are owed to a person according to the law of the land.
This case was about the police not respecting the legal rights of the accused person hence by it's very definition it is a violation of due process.
The way to deal with police mistakes is with sanctions and fines. This is the way it was before the 1960s.
And it was completely ineffective. Sorry, but I'd prefer not to go back to a time where due process and warrants were afterthoughts.
Yeah, who needs stupid things like due process. It's not like it's a constitutionally guaranteed right or anything.
And it ruins the surprise!
I agree. Rather than just this being isolated breaches of information it's much better that when attacked they have access to everyone's info! Brilliant!
But that's my point, why were they linked?
Laziness and convenience, probably.
The information wasn't accessible through the public site. The problem was that the server compromised through the public website also contained the private databases.
UC Berkeley using a BSD? That's highly illogical!
Slashdot editors posting stories that are days old? Never!
And you'd be right, but tell that to my sports fan grandfather or my MSNBC-loving grandmother.
Hate to break it to you but even "live" sports has a delay between the video being captured and it being broadcast out.
Since when was GTK+ a native graphics api? Oh wait, it's not. Qt uses Xlib on an X Windows System which is the native graphics API.

You must be a bit behind the times as Qt no longer emulates a native look-and-feel but uses the native widgets of the platform.
Yes, QuickTime is definitely shitty but what does that have to do with Qt?
