Not only does the summary not let me know what the case was about - I assume some kind of patent infringement - the article is missing this information too. In fact, the summary is a straight word for word copy of the article, which is itself about 4 lines long - the only thing in the article that's missing from the summary is a typo in which it claims TiVo were awarded almost 74 billion dollars.
What extra lengths? A few pages of VB code, a friendly installer bundled with the malware-du-jour, a wacky name and a flashy website and suddenly everyone has a nice GUI wrapped around any of the GP's suggestions.
Nothing much to add to this except "me too". We've been using it for a number of months now. We're just a small group of around 10 people working on some certification documentation and I've yet to hear anyone complain about any aspect of it.
Well stop what? Stopping all guerilla warfare is different than stopping specific kinds of attacks. An individual determined attack can be thwarted and, by banning UHauls we could block all UHaul based attacks. However this would not prevent all attacks which is why we need to adapt our defences properly to each new threat. As I stated above however adapting our defences does not mean trashing our freedoms.
Blocking all UHaul-based attacks by banning UHauls restricts the freedom to use a UHaul. Blocking all car/van/truck bombings by banning private vehicles restricts the freedom to own/drive a private vehicle, and so on, and so forth.
In the US, the constitution is ostensibly the final word. It is higher than mere law.
This is the same "final word" that has been changed 27 times over the course of its life? 27 times in 219 years - I make that one change every 8 years*. Yeah, that's some set-in-stone document to end all documents.
Before some crazy gets heavy with the mod-stick, understand I'm not knocking the constitution, just those people who hold it up as some kind of divine law. Karma be damned.
*yes, I know ten of those were enacted at the same time.
By having a.xxx domain, I don't f&^&* popups advertising Russian brides, or when I misspell "cooking" in a search engine (which happens a lot - as I can't speel that good), I don't embarrass myself, and further more don't get yelled at when my wife then uses the PC.
Whoah. Dude, it sounds like you have way more important issues to deal with than whether some voluntary TLD gets accepted.
Sorry, no dice. There's clearly something different about these ogg video files. I can play all the ogg videos at meetings-archive.debian.net just fine with MediaPlayerClassic and can play ogg audio files with Winamp.
Uhmm.. you've missed the point. The camera can format the flash card to whatever format it likes - that's not a problem. The problem rears its head when a user then takes that flash card and plugs it into a PC/Printer/whatever. If that device doesn't have WhizzBangFileSystem(TM) drivers the user is screwed.
... the two companies that can do no wrong.
Reading Slashdot these days is like having Al Franken shout in one ear while Sean Hannity screams into the other. Massively annoying and ultimately pointless.
It is a strange comparison because, even though revenue may be in the same ballpark figure as these other companies, they are not growing as quickly as Apple has done since it launched the iPod, and while Apple may be medium sized now, it is steadily getting larger. It is also well known to anyone aged 16-30 - how many American readers know what product M&S sells, or what its famous for.
Why would a British newspaper care whether 16-30 year old Americans know about a company mentioned in one of their articles?
Wow, kind sir, you've given me this nice house, your car, use of your lovely wife on a regular basis and your daughter's hand in marriage - all without strings attached! Why oh why won't you also give me your country estate?
Yes. But would you have gotten an Xbox if it still only ran the same games the NES had? Because that's a more accurate analogy than what you used.
No, that's a crazy. The better analogy would be upgrading a Playstation to a PS2. The PS2 still plays almost all the old Playstation games but will also play the latest and greatest - something missing from your analogy.
I would say that Microsoft ran out of ideas years ago, but in their case, it's more like they couldn't find any more to steal.
Oh, well, that explains the rest of your post, doesn't it.
Perhaps if you'd take what you call a head out of your ass and see what is going on in the world,you wouldn't be so quick to call it warmongering. Unless you'd LIKE to be beheaded for what theses crazies call Islam. I have too much respect for real Muslims to call what they do fighting for the sake of Islam.
If the license fee didn't exist in its current form you wouldn't have the chance to enjoy the shows the BBC release on DVD (arguably having had to pay for them twice, granted), or the countless pages on quite frankly one of the best websites on the internet, or the numerous radio stations, free of adverts and neither would millions of other people around the world.
As a British expat living in the USA I would give my left nut to be able to pay the pittance that is the license fee if it meant I could get back that which I took for granted while I lived in the UK. Hell, if XM or Sirius carried BBC Radio 2 and 4 I'd sign up for all manner of receivers for house and home in a shot!
I guess my point is that it's all very well begrudging them their "TV tax", and I know I've in the past complained about it as much as the next guy, but we rarely know what we've got 'till it's gone....
(Great debian website btw, I made great use of a number of articles recently.)

To be fair, the entire OSX customer base is a niche market.
They crash mplayer 4.02 also.
I've just installed that and these files crash whichever player I choose - MediaPlayerClassic, VLC, WindowsMediaPlayer, Winamp.
.ogg audio just fine. Never mind.
Weird. Winamp can play
Good job, guys. Edgy.

... take her out, get her drunk and then bang her. Your deep and objective method is way too complicated.
I'm glad we got that sorted. ;)
In other news, Channel 4 announce record losses...
Yeah, too right. Security is king in the Farm Service Agency. Gotta keep those tomato crops safe from daggum terrists.

Why do you hate America?
You're taught to not always tell the truth. That doesn't necessarily mean lying, however.
Yeah, the DOJ really stuck it to Microsoft last time....
I always used to use the commercial TextPad but recently have been swayed by PSPad.
