I'm sorry, X11 is a pain in the ass. For now anyway a real office app for Mac means Microsoft (even as old-timers still pine for the days of Word 5.1 and its elegant simplicity).
To claim as the plaintiffs do that unconditional copyright has no benefits to the author is ludicrous. The administrative burden of registering every damn thing (website? slashdot comment?) you publish is not something I, or anyone else who wishes to have his/her works protected by copyright for any length of time, wish to have restored.
The abandonware issue is more substantial. A requirement that copyright be renewed for $1, or that it be deemed abandoned if nobody is available to offer the rights after a reasonable period of time, is more rational. Perhaps one of those evil "activist judges" will so find.
In California, you need a concealed carry permit issued by the county sheriff. From the CA website:
May I carry a concealed firearm in California? Except in extremely limited circumstances, you may not carry a concealed firearm on your person in public unless you have a valid CCW license. CCW permits are issued only by a county sheriff to residents of the county, or by the head of a city police department to residents of that city.
I live in another state and have a permit to carry a concealed handgun that was issued in my home state. Does my permit allow me to carry a concealed handgun while in California? No. Weapons permits from other states are not valid in California.
San Francisco is the toughest city in California, if not America, in which to be granted a CCW permit. Currently there are only five permits issued to non-law enforcement personnel in the city. (as of June 2003)
So if Darl carried his weapon concealed in San Francisco, and he has not obtained a permit from Sheriff Hennessey (a reporter could easily ask), he's broken California state law, and should go to jail or at least pay a stiff fine. (Had the weapon remained in a locked container, he would be okay.)

and you think those have any credibility? sheesh.

Riiiiiiiiiight.

Nothing every "relaunches" unless the first launch was a flameout.
and the idea of a special app for making frames - that's completely nuts. adobe should have done this years ago.

And the three people who actually use and enjoy DVD-Audio.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
I think you have created a new troll. Post to all "dying" stories forthwith. (Your Karma will, um, die, but who cares about Karma?)
Or at least Mac OS X. Until they call it Mac OS XI.
AOL is dying
Apple is dying
Civilization on Mars is dying
Shouldn't this story be in the *BSD section?
All the Toshibas I have used have had a very simple sleep process:
1. Sleep
2. Awake
3. BSOD
Haven't had this difficulty with any PowerBook I've owned, and I've owned four, even the famous Exploding PowerBook 5300.
So yes, instead of fucking around with DRM, perhaps the BIOS makers would do better to make the fucking BIOS that's already there work. Perhaps.
like Bob Metcalfe did when he predicted "gigalapses" of the internet?
clueless Newby?
my windows 98 laptop has a backup of windows on it. this is nothing new at all (except that it's in a "hidden" HD partition).
If not, no deal.
Yes it does. Why not build VoIP protocols with built-in strong crypto? They did it with PGPfone years ago, there's no reason not to do it again.
(of course you can always run standard VoIP over ipsec, but that's just for PC to PC service.)
I would have said it was OK
Reach out and touch someone!

yes, it's an anti-DOS tool that returns fire, but how is this news?
oh, wait.
You can imagine where the participants will go.

The City and County of San Francisco is downright parsimonious in issuing CCW permits:
