For some reason there is a terrible problem with on my cable modem. Of course i disable it but the minute after i wiped and reloaded my computer i had no less than 10 of them pop up beofre i could turn the service off. The funny part is 5 of them were trying to sell me a way to turn it off.
I dont understand why just because you are famous it gives you the right to trademark your name in cyberspace. Are they going to goes as far as making the man change his name. And the fact that it isnt his birthname should shed some serious light on to the subject. I gues this just anoys me how being famous gives you the right to trample on someones elses right. Sorry about the rant but when i hear things like this it just annoys me to no end!
This is a very widespread problem. The gateway e3400 series falls prey to this, i have replaced no fewer than 30 in the past 4 months, and the gateway tech told me that they had a school with over 200 cases of this. I hate to see that problem is more widespread that a single series of motherboards.
This is not exactly true I seem to remeber dell realeasing machines that had the nimda virus on the machine and also on the recovery cd. They had to recall them all and shut down the plant till they could clean it up. It has nothing to do with liability anyone can make a mistake or have someone malicous tamper with their code.
I think the author makes a very good point. Open source should be free. I understand that companies dont want to lose there bread and butter by releasing all of their source code as free. But what it seems these companies want is for the open source community to fix all the problems with there software and not give us anything back! I do applaud the companies for taking that first step and releasing part if not all of their source code. But come on can the open source community be expected to fix all their problems and then have them yank the license out from under us(Hypothetically of course!)? I just hope that companies will learn that open source and gpl is the best option out there and begin to use it.
Economic intrest doesnt drive everything. I work for a living and know that in most things it does. As for mp3's it may die in the commercial world but there are way to many people who couldnt care less if it made any money they are just in it for the music. Look at all the websites offering mp3's. 90% of them dont ask for money or care to make any off of the mp3's they offer. Almost all of them just want more music in return. You must be a complete idiot if you belive that the only thing driving the world today is economic intrest.
