What would be nice is if Red Hat, or some one else who 'can', started an Open Patent policy with terms such as: You can use our patents for Open Sorce development, or X patents Closed source Development so long as you make Y nagotiated patents available for Open Development.

Bringing perjury charges aginst people sure sounds nice, but in practice you'd have noone left in the states. E.G. Bill Clinton, Most of microsoft, Most of the prosicuting states (they must have told a fib or two?) Anyone who's ever been sued, Anyone who's ever sued. Any the parot that said it couldn't talk. (Called Bush or somthing?)
This kind of processor would be great for running OS software because you could compile your kernel/modules/XFree/KDE/postgress etc... with a majic +profile for profiling info, and recompile it with better performance later on. this would mean that diffrerent prople would have the kernel/db etc.. software optimised for exactly there needs not for a general peropus implementation.
There are a lot of compiler problems with the Itanium/Itanium-2 , infact i think most of the development money went on producing good compiler algorithms for optimisation.

When i were a lad..... bike wheel , plastic cup and a neadle was all i needed to listen to,music. Analog is easier to mix (by hand), Hey MR DJ put my CD on!!.
I'm sure you can work out all the other reasons, and if not maybe you'll never understand.
Well, 'you' is used in a generic way, it dosn't imply you the person who is on tech support, but 'you' the general user base, some of whome no how to recompile with debugging etc... This missunderstanding of the word 'You' taking it from a general group to an individual shows an inability to see the big picture, this is a tipical fault with many people who hold your view. Take the blinkers off and look a little harder.

All prity well known brandnames, and all with a large counter following. Infact you could probably find more people willing to protest to close a MCDonalds down than people willing to protest to keep it open!!!.
Coke, MCDonalds and Budweiser all spend a !lot! of money on advertising, Coke were so successfull that they managed to change christmass forever with a rotund Red santa (who likes a bit of coke!!).
Anyhow, these companies have a fairly sizeable cult following regardless of the quality of there products down to there large advertising expenditure, so proving that advertising does work.
That is hilarous, I can imagine the tech support call:
Q: Uh, yes I am reporting a bug.
A: Our system is flawless, there arn't any bugs.
Q: But i have a bug here
A: Ok here's what to do:-
Get a patato from the kitchen, Carefully cut the words terces pot into the patato Using some convient red ink (blood will do) stap your monitor, and be proud that you've contributed to national security.
Will in more ways than one, 1: Microsft proclaim that IE is an intergral part of windows, so a security bug in IE is a security bug in the entire OS. 2: KDE is Open Source, you can't really complain that much about bugs, if you havn't botherd to look through the code to find them (due dilligance or somthing). 3: KDE(this is an OS acording to one of microsofts expert witnesses hmm...) != Windows
A big company repeadly sueing lots of little companies, and if they loose the case, they keep sueing until the little company is no more.
Also theres the ' Not only would large corporations lobby that one to death' issue this is why i said racketeering, not only are they focusing on potential threats to there power in companies and individuals, but also governments ( and not doing to bad a job by the looks of the DMCA)
As for piracy, remember the good old days of tapes, now how many of your tapes were coppied from mates etc.... Piracy is a poor excuse. What the RIAA want is market controle, the ability to create 'Stars', and to a large extent sway the market they are selling to to fit the model they want to use. i.e. take
1 Shit song, but a bit hummable (must be owned by the label)
1 or more Prity bird[s], (helps if they can't sing that well, and will sign anytthing to get there face on T.V.)
2-3 months of promotion, try to push for kids T.V., make the 'Band?' appear to be popular (buy this record or you'll have no friends should work).
Keep on the boil for a few months, or untill people realise that the birds can't sing, and the song is shit.
Sue anyone trying to free music from your grasps untill they die a horrible death.
In the UK, if you mix some clasical music more than 50 years old, you hold the copyright on the mix of the music, but the original is in the public domain.
By that logic, version 0.0.1 -> version 0.2.4 might be public domain but version 0.2.5 -> version 1.0.0 might not be. If you can identify code snipits in 1.0.0 that come straight from version 0.0.1 -> version 0.2.4 they are also public domain.

The story is a bit back to front, but not as bad as you suggest
it says:
terrabit densities
Not using EMR

Here's a picture of the read head
Carbonic acid, umm all that lovely acid rain!!!!
Yes you would,Hell i get shot every weekend, the drugs are getting a little expesive though.
and then cut there legs off.'
one of my favourite quotes from many a patent holding organisation.
not paying royalities in exchange for airplay.
Now i can replace Explorer with KDE3.0.1
Nope, tyr harder.

Maybe they didn't 'invent' it, but they sure as hell took it from obscurity to tradition.
Looks like someone from Nike decided to mod me up, should have been +1 deadly serious!
to stop things before your aponent has event thought of them. Infact to just plane fuck the whole thing up as you like. Unless you're not the one.
Well,
It's a club in Reading where a few people keep getting shot.
It's a 2d vector array, usefull for 3d stuff like air flow, or lighting/shadows.
It's a toss film that really missed the point, I won't tell you the point, just incase you missed it to and quite liked the film.
Oh and a game by the looks of things
