Actually, the judge prevented Microsoft from presenting evidence of the prior-art, judging that it wasn't "relevent". Microsoft is appealing the ruling based on this information.
actually MSIE and Netscape both were licensed off of Mozilla (the first browser), only Mozilla had the right to refuse them, and instead agreed to license the idea.
Michael needs to get fired, sealed in a room with Seth Finkelstein, and let both of them vent out their homo-neurotic difference of opinion on what 'freedom' is. Posts by Michael are getting a little tiring, and being an employee of OSDN, his opinion IS representing the company, which COULD have legal repercussions (perhaps slander? IANAL). It'd be nice if the editors would let the userbase submit the comments, and leave their own off of the front page. If they feels so concerned about something, become a subscriber and post it to the story like the rest of us.

Palm to Buy Handspring

Actually, Handspring wasn't a spin-off, but rather, the original owners of Palm flying the coup after making millions on the sell-out of Palm to 3M (I believe). They then opened up shop down the street with a portion of their sell-out, called it Handspring, and began competing once again.
It would be nice if we could moderate the POSTERS of stories, and make them pay for their crimes against slashdot readers. I say fire Taco and timothy and find someone who can a) spell b) read c) remember what they posted within the past 24 hours d) has a deeper sense of humor than this
sorry, but this is just awful, and timothy should feel ashamed for this.
you must still be using wordperfect 3.0 where you need to WORRY about codes. Winword is far superior to WP in every way imagineable. If Corel had kept the development up on WP, maybe it would still compete, but nobody has innovated or made that product worth its investment since before it was owned by Novell. That, IMHO, was the downfall of WP.
We've been trying to use this for quite some time (the 1.3 at least on FreeBSD), and have had issues with the threading model implemented. Not sure why whoever decided to port used green threads. Also, the SecureRandom is broken due to the number of threads it instantiates to determine a "random" number. It seems that through our use, extensive use of threads causes the entire system to crash, which meant we had to rework alot of code to specifically work on BSD by limiting the number of java threads we invoked.
actually, on a more serious note, could slashdot be used as prior art? Slashdot's been having "discussions" about "items" for a long time (items being anything ranging from the latest Apple fanfare to the Xbox).
the entire windows NT kernel and all libraries were completely rewritten as of NT4.0. This was specifically to work around the BSD-related licensing issues.
I don't think MS is so worried about people making their own OpenSource software to interpret the XML as it will most likely not be as efficient as MS software. as far as content is concerned, anybody could write their own xml parser, what MS knows is going to sell more copies of Word et al. is the fact that it has a strong support for embedding ActiveX objects. So, the next time you want to embed a Rational Rose UML diagram in your word document, you'll most likely find that other software packages aren't going to interpret how this is stored in xml as well as the MS Office suite could.
true, but slashdots' quality HAS been degrading as of late... this is just further proof that the viewership is banding together to request a coup. yes, we're thankful for no more Katz, but we want MORE quality! I'm not entirely sure exactly what the slashdot crew DO for their paychecks, but if screening and editing stories is one of them, they SHOULD aspire to do a better job... and with that, do they REALLY need that many 'editors'.
its only when you SELL the dvd to the used-shop. they want to make sure its not "stolen". its a similar idea to how pawn shops need to have some id before they buy that really nice tv you found that fell off the truck.

I did not have "contractual relations" with that company. Now give me my cigar back McBride.

copyright is a federal case, and can't be prosecuted in small-claims court.

Quoting the Detroit News article:
"SCO is seeking as much as $50 billion in damages from IBM for allegedly copying code.."
When did this go up again? It seems like a bad episode of Austin Powers, where the demands grow exponentially until they are beyong proposterous.

what are you doing posting here then? that option must be working really well... ;)

Any further thoughts/ideas on this?

when slashdot has to post the crap from other sites instead of double-posting.
