I wish everyone would stop whingeing about how Yahoo is selling out and just use another Auctioneer. No-one is forcing you to use Yahoo.
You live in a free world. If Yahoo takes this course of action and profits from it, then it can be seen to have made a good business decision.
I assume that Yahoo wants to succeed, to dominate the market. Since when did McDonalds sell Nazi-themed Big Macs? There may be some demand for them, but big companies will do anything to avoid being associated with such things.
It seems that Yahoo are simply making a logical business decision. The internet is vast, if you want to sell racist memorabilia, find an auctioneer who'll take it on. If you can't find one, there's a gap in the market for an enterprising young company.
I've never been to China, but my friend claimed to have been. He showed me a video of him in China. Of course I didn't believe him. How could someone travel that far? Everyone knows you'd get eaten by sea monsters on the way.
It provides most of the services to the Limbo app that the full Inferno OS provides (or at least it will eventually). I suppose calling it an OS is pushing it a bit, but these definitions get more blurred every day.
The lead they have is in market share. Yes, the features they are adding are already in WinCE, which is probably why Palm are adding them - to help maintain their lead.
Probably just to piss you off.
Seriously though, as a community-based site, more can probably be achieved by trying to persuade the majority than by sending an e-mail to the staff (who could just ignore it).
The Times is The Times is The Times is The Times is the world-famous newspaper referred to in many great novels that has sadly declined in the last few decades but is still called The Times. OK?
Point out the obvious please, I like being patronised.
I used to wonder what people were on about when they said that Slashdot had gone down the tube, but recently I think I've come round to their point of view. NO recent stories have caught my imagination, and the quality of posts is absolutely dire (as demonstrated by this one).

Judging from the lack of posts. It seems slashdotters don't care about this important step forward in the interoperability of free desktops...

True. Slashdot's a commercial entity that reports news (apparently). It should be responsible and employ at least one journalist.
Let's start a campaign!
When most of the /. readership already know what he's trying to tell them?
This article would be better off in a mainstream magazine where parents, teachers etc could read it and learn something. I wonder why it isn't...
Oh yes, because no editor in his/her right mind would publish this crap.
The wonder vehicle that never should have failed?
Just think what a paradise the world would be with roads full of quiet little plastic three-wheelers.

An application running in an OS on top of a virtual MIPS R3000 on top of a Java VM?
Aaaaaaaaaagh!
Still, sounds quite impressive.
Maybe it's something to do with the proxy here - but I'm not taking back the "scum" insult!
This whole series has been a load of self-serving twaddle. BORING!
When people start using "logic" as an argument, they usually have no idea what logic is themselves.
Well that's mathematicians fucked then.

Er, not true. Most cities and larger towns have cable, and it's still spreading.
They don't like Lynx either, the scum
I bet they let Netscape 4 in...
...so it must be the day to copy an article out of The New Scientist.
What? Are you on crack? Invent democracy? Ha ha ha ha ha

It's called THE TIMES. That is it's name. The only people who call it The London Times are confused Americans. I thank you.
How old are you? I think the age group you fit in to has a lot to do with it. Although I think that most of the article was a load of rubbish.
Abusing Americans is so much more fun than actually listening to them!
Are there other countries that have implemented their own versions of the DMCA?
How can this be fought on a country-by-country basis?

I may be mad, but the review actually makes me like the book and dislike the reviewer. Anyone else get the same thoughts?
