I think this case will get tossed out before ever being heard. Remember Professor Felton? His case was tossed because the DMCA was threatened, but never actually applied. Therefore, the court considered him without standing and dismissed his case. You can read about it here.
While it would be nice to have the case litigated, I think that without Best Buy actually bringing a case under the DMCA as opposed to threatening an action, Fat Wallet may also be declared to lack standing.
This just in, thousands of anti-abortionists are protesting outside of Bombardier headquarters, claiming that the Embrio was meant to stay in the womb.
In related news, thousands of pro-abortionists have started a counter protest to ensure that the Embrio project can be legally terminated at any point before full delivery!
"The U.S. Justice Department announced new indictments today in the investigation of dirty political campaign money. [A] Thai businesswoman and another woman, were...charged with funneling almost $700,000 in illegal donations...mostly to the Democratic Party." --Dan Rather on the CBS Evening News, July 13, 1998.
What does he imply by mostly? That some went to the Republicans as well? Not true. More that half the money went to the DNC. The rest went to state Democratic organizations and the Clinton-Gore campaign. So I guess it ALL went to the Democratic Party.
Name ONE liberal media news source that broadcasts on a major television network.
George Stefanopolis, former Clinton guy now turned political commentator on ABC. Just because no one watches him, doesn't mean he isn't there. And what about Peter Jennings? What a liberal wanker. How about any news outlet that claims that Terri Schindler Schiavo should be forced to starve to death?
Can't? Good, then stay quiet.
Guess I don't need to stay quiet. Yes, the media has beome more conservative over the past few years, but then so has the entire country. You can see that also reflected in the fact that the democrats are losing political races to the likes of Arnold.
Thanks Bruce. I now open the Linux Holy Wars thread by stating: "I like Mandrake better!" Please feel free to reply and let me know why your personal favorite is better.
Maybe we should keep working on the LSB specs so all the distros can interoperate?
I would just like to inform you that I have not deleted any of my several thousand music files. I have simply deleted Kazaa and moved over to *CENSORED*. Please adjust your count accordingly.

Hackers On Atkins
·
· Score: 4, Informative
I was on Atkins for a year and a half and lost about 80 pounds. I also got kidney and gall stones as side effects. Nothing you can do about the gall stones, any rapid weight loss can cause them. But for the kidney stones, you need to make sure you are drinking enough water. Also, watch for died blood flecks in your urine (I thought they were from a vitamin I was taking). They can be an early sign or irritation.
I am not a doctor, but I've been there. Eventually went for the major "case mod" and had gastric bypass about a year ago. Down 150 pounds to 260.
Can't help you on the gay or nerd things. Some crosses you just have to bear.;)
They are doing nothing but trying to drag this out for as long as possible. Now ask yourself, who is going to gain from all this extended FUD?
With Longhorn still two years away, it might be best to drag this out as long as they can. You wouldn't want people changing over to Linux while you try to figure out your new OS, right?
In Germany they came first for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up.
Good point. If they come after a second group, I'll speak up. For now, I can let them take Microsft.
This really shouldn't shock anyone. It has been going on at the White House for ages.

Now it's your turn, people of the United States. Civil disobedience en masse! Writing and calling(!) your representatives!
Wanna really have a little civil disobedience? Fax a copy of the paper to you congressman and ask them to read it into the congressional record. Now you and Congress are criminals under the DMCA.
The whole reasoning behind doing this is quite understandable. There has been several fatal gang shootings in bars in Vancouver recently. This is one way to keep them from killing innocent bystanders.
Maybe a better way would be to arrest the people who shoot others instead of just ban them from the bars. Or maybe not allow guns in bars? Is this some Canadian logic that, as an American, I am missing?
SGI has cleared everything up, but has confirmed that there is System V code in Linux.
No, SGI has shown that there is common code between the two. There is still a question of ownership. SCO says they own it, SGI says it might be in the public domain.
Set a list of milestones and a price at each point.
Spell out everything clearly in the contract including time to complete and termination costs (in case one of you backs out).
Make sure you review the contract with someone in legal aid at school (usally a law student) to make sure that you are not losing your rights to the work.
Enjoy the feeling of making money doing what you love!
I collect local sales tax, I pay unemployment, Medicare, FICA, shit, a whole bunch of stuff that I pay my accountant to do. Why should Net companies have *zero* overhead when they don't contribute the way brick and mortar stores do?
So when you make a sale, do you require ID before you can compute the tax? If they come from out of state, do you need to remit taxes to that state instead of your own? That is what they are going to be asking net stores to do.
To make it simple, every net store should follow their local tax laws and remit only in their home state, just like brick and mortar stores do. Anything else is unfair to small business.
Disclaimer: I am not a CPA, but my wife is and holds a Masters in Taxation. We talk about this subject often.
With the state tax systems being the way they are, it would be impossible for a small seller on the internet to comply with the laws. Forty-seven states have sales taxes (or is it 48?) and each one is different. A seller on eBay would need to compute that tax for the buyer (state, county, city, in most cases) and then file quarterly with that state. Oh, and to file, you need to apply for a tax id number in that state which may require a business license depending on local laws. Say goodbye to all the small businesses who sell anything on the web.
Or, you could always have a store on the web and have an order form printed that needs to be faxed. That would make you a mail order business which no one seems to be talking about taxing.
Is there a simple way for other copyright holders to now join in on this case? I figure anyone who has code in the kernel has the same case as IBM presented today.
If I had any code in there, I'd be looking through my old high school year book to figure out who went to law school...
Active Directory in your home network? Why would you ever want/need that? I'm not flaming you, I'm genuinely curious.
Because they won't let me tinker with 'rouge servers' at the office, so I have to learn the ins and outs on my own time and dime. My wife's one desk home office tax practice is seriously overpowered because I use it as a learning tool (and she is a typical end-user).
but if you look at windows security now verses 5 years ago you will find that its drastically improved.
Although I disagree with your comment, I will not argue it. I just want to point outthat the ATMs are said to be running on NT4 which came out SIX years ago.
Ah, the top 25 stories that would have gotten more play if we had kept conservatives out of the news business.
So spiking stories on illegal immigration and our open boarders to the south is ok because it brings in more votes for the welfare party? This kind of crap belongs on K5, not here.

Hmmm. Paying people to develop code? What a clever idea! I'd beter patent this quick!

Don't forget Dan Rather. He has actually held fund raisers for the democratic party.
I forgot about that. Good point. He helped raise money for Texas Democrats. No punishment, despite being against the rules of the network.
How about this quote from Dan:
"The U.S. Justice Department announced new indictments today in the investigation of dirty political campaign money. [A] Thai businesswoman and another woman, were...charged with funneling almost $700,000 in illegal donations...mostly to the Democratic Party."
