The SCO-IBM lawsuit is probably the most memorable lawsuit in the software industry. See this comment: http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3431143&cid=42785079. Only a tiny fraction of people frequenting/. would need to told about the SCO lawsuit.
Because, my friend, the news that you here is just the most noteworthy of the daily stuff that goes on in Pakistan. That is hardly average. I'm an Indian, I spent 4 years in Guwahati, Assam. That city has a reputation for terrorist violence, and the region (the Northeast) is known for atrocities committed by the Indian Army. But the only reason I saw anyone from the Army? There was an outpost in our campus (when the reason for the campus existing in the first place was the terrorists). But when I go home, I'm astonished by the chasm between reality and what the people imagine. For the very same reasons believe that most Pakistanis have at least seen AK 47s, I could believe that the US is a land of hurricanes.
I imagine them to be much like the RIAA with less lawyers and more AK47's.
I don't know how many AKs MAFiAA have, but I doubt these guys have any. Contrary to popular perception, the average Pakistani probably hasn't even *seen* a gun.
I thought the whole point was that Mega didn't have any servers. They outsource that part to several small file hosting sites. Maybe a few might be in the US?
Ditto in India. Used to be that one identified a mobile phone store by the Nokia logo on top of the store. Even now, for feature phones (or dumb phones) people will choose Nokia without a second glance. But everywhere I look, Samsung seems king in smartphones in India.
And I report your mail as spam or junk or (if the option is given) phishing. Screw you over, since my response is likely to get your emails to others classified as spam or - worse - phishing. If it takes me more than two clicks to unsubscribe, you're marked spam. Most people won't respond, some will be vindictive like me and very few will be willing to send an email.
Odd, since Opera and UC Browser did very well on all counts on Nokia phones (and these were decent touchscreen phones with maybe a quarter of the power of an iPhone). I don't see why they should fail. Any links to the study?
They can't even do the one thing they're supposed to do - publish news - decently, unless you count celebrity X kisses celebrity Y's ass as news. how on earth can you think they can bring out a *better* search engine than Google's?

Oh? And even then there's trouble getting x64 Firefox builds for Windows.
The coal goes through a baptism of fire and emerges purified of its sins.
No, this is the metaphorical equivalent of Ma baking a hard cookie and the kid feeding it to his old Grandpa, breaking Grandpa's remaining teeth.
Maybe Dell doesn't supply old firmware to prevent more lawsuits.
No, this is the well known 'glass is empty but some day the guy pouring won't miss the target' brand of optimism.
As a football fan, I say God is Dennis Bergkamp. The 'and' is to separate the surnames.

Why a bidding war? GP is bidding for the same purpose as Groklaw, so, Groklaw should do a Kickstarter project or something...
Do 6 and 3 both correspond to Hinduism?
If you were in fact omnipotent, you would always arrange things so that no one ever walked in on you by accident.

Damn me for not looking before clicking the submit button.

2 million+ results on Google. What the hell are you smoking?
For doing the decent thing and linking to the print-preview version of the article.

I believe you mean 'karma'.
But then, the things outrageous about consoles are price of storage and the restrictions. Not the price of consoles themselves.

There was a nice bit in one of the Foundation prequels where Seldon tricked the junta into using poll tax. Read that to understand what's "fair".
What? Why? It should be: //throws exception //Do whatever War is good for.
try
{
blahBlah = blah();
} catch (Exception e)

What about mosaics, or chimeras.. (or whatever the term is)?
