You wouldnt have to release the tweaks as long as you didnt release the code as a product if I remember correctly. Just have the binaries run on the car and don't release them to the public. Right? I could be wrong.
Will it use UPnP and allow all of your devices in your house to be hacked so that your PocketPC wont work and your refridgerator will throw ice cubes at random? I bet it runs their new SecureOS and emits a extremely high frequency that blows up any device playing music that doesnt have a license for it.
Who is richer, Apple or Microsoft? Who sells all their software on an architecture that they dont make any serious internal hardware for? The answer to both is Microsoft. Apple has no reason to worry about losing money by selling to x86 customers, because they can still sell their pretty plastic computers with RISC power to the yuppies and scientific community and in turn could make money from those who are sick and tired of running Windows. What about hardware support? Do you think Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, and others arent going to help make drivers for the #2 desktop OS in the world! Please. Apple is just making another stupid mistake that helps keep Microsoft at the top.
Microsoft Rep: "Hi! Looks like your buying Windows XP, would you care to buy a family license?"
User: "How much will I save?"
Rep: "Ten dollars. But we just give you the sticker and a piece of paper, no actual box or CD or anything like that. That would cost us something like... ten dollars!"
User: "Why don't I just buy the regular version again and get all that stuff including a backup cd just in case one is damaged or lost?"
Rep: "Because then we at Microsoft dont save money!"
New AMD motherboards have clock-throttling and an all out shutdown of the computer in the BIOS for when the processor gets too hot. I didn't see where he tested that in this article. Did he even test that or does it not work?
Verisign: Sorry, but we are going to have to take away your domain from you. We see you're using your website to make money
Web Site Owner: What are you talking about? We are collecting donations from our congregation. We are a church.
Versign: Nope, sorry. We already have someone else signed up to take the domain.
In a short answer, yes. Does that mean that they will? I don't think so. Besides, I rather have Linux or FreeBSD or OS X come through town riding on it's mascot one day and back Microsoft into the corner that other operating systems are in right now. I think I would feel much better if the people decided that Microsoft sucks instead of the government
Going behind the backs of other companies standards meeting just so you could make more profit? I think all memory manufacturers should sue the great satan of memory for every penny they have made off RAMBUST to teach them a lesson about breaking rules such as these!
Open source really shouldn't be looked at as "just free software". If you believe that maybe you should go see Antitrust again. Open source is supposed to be about good software. If there is one piece of software that should be good, it would be the operating system. The last open source code to die will be that of the open source operating systems.
Run Internet Filtering companies. They say they want to do the right thing, then they pull garbage like this. When will it end? Man... I just want to go up to these people and kick 'em sqar' in the beanbags!

The webcasters and the record industry both agree to do something!

Why should I care if the X-Box plays those crappy Dreamcast games. Now if it played ATARI games ...
