A Lucasfilm spokeswoman said: "We believe the imaginative characters, props, costumes, and other visual assets that go into making a film deserve protection in Britain. The UK should not allow itself to become a safe haven for piracy."
Guess what, the English language is constantly evolving. Either way you're wrong:

Maybe next time actually know what you are talking about before speaking up?
Instead of one application written 3 or 4+ times for each of the Smartphone operating systems one would write one HTML app and it would run on modern Trident, Gecko, Webkit, Presto, etc.
So then what's the need for this new Mozilla web OS? You can already do this now on smartphones and you also have the feature of running non HTML apps as well.
No, Mozilla is just trying to copy Google because they've run out of their own ideas failing to realize that this game of catchup they are trying to play is only going to lead to their downfall and irrelevance.
We don't compromise on our principals. For instance, you'll recall that we were the lone browser which didn't implement H.264, back before WebM. If we'd capitulated, WebM never would have happened, and there'd be no high-quality and free (as in speech or beer, in this case) video codec for the web.
Bullshit. Google had plans to buy VP8 and open source it long before anything you guys did and it's very doubtful that Mozilla had any meaningful impact on their decision. And if you truly think that Google bought VP8 for the "open web" or some other such nonsense than you're horribly naive. They bought it as a wedge so that they could sell GoogleTV to entertainment companies and get more money for themselves.
Except that his statements had to do with Google using "Java" not "Dalvik". Sun's patent statement with relation to Java is quite clear that you have to have a conforming J2SE implementation or you don't get the patent grant. Some offhand statement by Scwartz doesn't nullify that.
My initial question would be what happens when a hurricane lands near a 2600 foot tower perched on a giant greenhouse?
If there are hurricanes reaching Arizona, I think there are far more things to worry about then what happens to some 2600 foot tower in the middle of the desert.
So I am of the opinion that there are some very wealthy and powerful people paying Slashdot to disparage Bitcoin. They don't want even the idea to become popular never mind the particular implementation itself.
BWAHAHAHA. This is not actually serious, right? You give way too much credence on Slashdot's reputation outside of niche nerd circles. The "very wealthy and powerful people" couldn't care less about this site.

But...but...him making these items was piracy!!!!

Cool story, bro. I'm sure with 50+ million in sales they are truly hurting because one person will never buy a PS3.

You are confusing two different things. Google +1 is not "Google+".
Because they are fighting OS fragmentation by... rolling their own OS.
Far less pointless than someone who gets all worked up and whiny over it.
By pointing out to them that people aren't satisfied with their laziness?
Cut the editors some slack.
Yeah, poor guys are so overworked and underpaid. Must be why they can't even bother to do basic editing of the shit they post.
It's worse than that. It's a blogspam dupe. The submitter is just trying to drive clicks to their "hoow" stuff works blog.
Yep, it's the submitter's own blog. It's not just a dupe it's blogspam dupe.
Yeah we know. You already posted this 14 hours ago.

Mozilla's just competing with everyone else.
No, Mozilla is just trying to copy Google because they've run out of their own ideas failing to realize that this game of catchup they are trying to play is only going to lead to their downfall and irrelevance.

So "innovative" means playing "me too" with whatever Google does?
Except that officially Microsoft always calls Mono an attempt to reverse engineer and infrige on Microsoft's intellectual property.
Yeah, and all those citations you provided to back up this were amazing. Oh wait, you didn't even post a single one.

What you were doing would not be illegal. What was illegal was this guy storing malware to infect others.
Ask yourself this, who has the most to gain from the continued proliferation of malware?
Spammers and criminals.

That's not really setting a high bar.
having a pro-US dictatorship is the only way to partially insure that.
FTFY.
Since when has Slashdot ever cared about the credibility and accuracy of the article sources? Slashdot routinely posts FUD articles all the time.
Then use Windows Server core installation if the GUI bothers you so much.
