I used SM for years, and I really liked it. I switched to Firefox when I got a new laptop with a smallish 16x9 screen. Firefox, when maximized, uses less of the screen's Y axis for chrome. Otherwise, I'd still use it.
moreover, according to the EPA, more mercury is released into the air while burning fossil fuels to produce electricity for the incandescent bulbs replaced by the CFL than is contained in the CFL.
For posession to constitute adverse posession, it must be done in the open. Jumping on someone else's wifi where they likely do not know about it would not count. The idea in the law is that if you are on your neighbor's land and they never do anything to assert their rights (like telling you you are on their land, but that they will allow you.) It protects people who use and invest in a resource thinking they have a right to it, only to have it taken away. After 20 years, it no longer can be. This in no way applies to stealing wifi.
I wouldn't get too excited about adverse posession as no one has gained free land that way in the last 100 years outside of a few obscure cases.
I have the Ahanix D4 which is similar but larger, and it is not all it is cracked up to be. - I had to replace the "silent" power supply with a quieter one, - the VFD software they ship is terrible, - the build quality -- for anyone who owns actual high-end audio equipment -- is not actually that good, - there is no dampening material in the case, - getting the top off is near impossible and is bettered by other manufacturers, Ahanix esentially mackined a nice faceplate to put on a crappy old fashioned case, - while the D4 says there is room for 5 total drives, I managed to get 3 in mine (partly because usinf an ATX board fills up on drive bay while other internal wires fill another), - the front door just falls open rather than glideing smoothly (like would an actual high-end piece of equipment) - the company lists it as shipping with 2 silent 80mm fans, instead it shipped with 1 loud 60mm fan
Anyhow, it works and it may be better than most things out there, but it is kind of crappy.
It seems that the jist of your comment is a distrust of competition to weed out weakness and support strength. For better of for worse, it seems that most systems more of less work this way. MS is where they are because they beat out lots of dead ends. Same goes for GE, GM, Sony, etc. It's even true for governments, and for species (neanderthal?).
There is some truth that competition is not always the best way to get things done. Further, winning should not be confused with being the best. Many mistakes are made, but before anyone is going to believe that competition and free markets are not the practical best way to progress, you will need to show how someone at the top could know in advance the best option. Gecko may be dead as to KHTML as you say, but one could not have guessed this when Mozilla started.
Another option could be a Firewire or USB2 enclosure - they allow fairly long cables - up to 20 metres (sorry no body parts used for measurements on this side of the pond)
IANAL but it sure sounds like lying under oath to me.
Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, if the case is being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation, SCO can be sanctioned. At this stage, however, no oath has been administered.
Perhaps the real question should be how much water, etc. would be used to make the amount of paper that could hold the same data as the lifetime of the chip? My guess is that the environmental impact would be far worse.
"Volume discounts" and exclusionary contracts would never enter the picture. It would be completely fair to the small makers.
Well, of course they would, but how is that different from the current difficulties of being a small manufacturer? The system is geared to supporting larger companies, but there is nothing particular about this recycling function that makes it any more troubling.
If all the small PC stores were required to put these requirements and costs in place, they would have a harder time competing with the big boys. This type of law would drive out a lot of the smaller competition. Keep the cost of business up and the barrier to entry high. Keep the smaller competition down and out.
Or, more likely, it would create a secondary market for recycling, and all of the small guys could buy the service from one of a few large recyclers. Chances are that the large manufacturers would do this too as it would likely be inefficient for each computer maker to get in to the secondary business of recycling.
Thus, the advantages and disadvantages of being large would probably stay about the same.

He's generally considered the foremost legal mind in the field of anti-trust law.
You overstate the case, he is also considered a heel in many other legal circles. Consider his 1963 article "Civil Rights - A Challenge" (New Republic, July 6, 1963 pp 21-24). There he argued that forcing whites to deal with blacks on an equal footing was an infringment upon whites' freedom of contract.

the issue, as i understand it, is that Yahoo! is incorporated (or whatever they call it) in france as well as in the US thus they have availed themselves of the benefit of doing business in france under french law. In order for Yahoo! to not be under the jurisdiction of the french court they can either 1) split their business so that the french and american companies are truly different companies, or 2) remove themselves from french soil.
This is not, however, a french court overreaching its jurisdiction.
whether for or against napster, the more important issue is that mp3 is a degredation of cd which was a degredation of analog. my fear is that as these technologies become pervasive the better quality standards will go away. i would rather have my 20 minutes of music per side of 180 gram vinyl on a Linn lp12, or 72 minutes per cd on a mark levinson cd player anyday. as an artist i would be more offended that people were not hearing my music as it was meant to be heard than that they were hearing it for free. If the louvre offered free admission to anyone wearing darkglasses would you take them up on it? i would rather pay for quality. Find a way to get fast free records through gnutella and you will have progress. now all you have is change for the worse.
