You will still get sued, and some lawyer or court will creatively interpret to ruling to mean whatever they want it to mean.
The SC said, "Screw P2P." The actual words don't matter.
Don't deceive yourself into thinking the law can deliver justice or fairness or determine right from wrong. That's not what the law is for anymore. Now, the law and the supremely stupid court exists to:
1) enhance the power of the goverment at the expense of the individual, and
2) protect entrenched corporate interests, and ensure adequate profit margins.
Life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness are so outdated.
Fire mouse click event from the keyboard. I think my productivity would increase a great deal if I could do this. I've looked and haven't seen this anywhere.
The end of my company's revenue stream will come when Web browsers start blocking online advertisements by default, a DoubleClick executive has warned.

Many will say "but! but! the opressed political activist in China! what about him?!" yeah.. I'm sure the teenage mp3 sharer really cares about that guy with his new anonymous p2p warez sucker.
Those of us who care about the political activist in China are willing to tolerate warez as the price of freedom and anonymity.
Those who only care about shutting down pirate mp3s, for whatever reasons, are also, by extension, shutting down political activists in China.
New technology, called Articulated Optical - DVD will allow 40-100 times more data (upto 850 Gb) to be stored on a DVD with data transfer rates 5-30 times faster than today's DVDs, and at similarly low costs.
And it comes with beachfront property in Arizona. You get a Statue of Liberty and and Eiffel Tower as a free gift with every purchase.
I am waiting for the service that allows you to hold your camera phone up to your computer screen and it tells you if the slashdot article is a dupe. (which this one is)
Or, if it's a slashvertisement. (which this one is)
As I recall from yesterday's news, one thing Netscape will give you that Firefox does not is "a toggle which allows switching between Mozilla and Microsoft's rendering engines as needed."
Cool. Where do I download the linux version that has that feature?
From the hours of 8-5 any downtime would cost over $10k/second
I hacked that computer and installed an application. It's pretty brilliant. What it does is every time there's a bank transaction where interest is computed, you know, thousands a day? The computer ends up with these fractions of a cent, which it usually rounds off? What this does is takes those little remainders and puts them into an account.
But investing in spacecraft isn't like investing in a broken window. (Or at least, it isn't any more *necessarily* that way than any other human endeavor.) You are investing money to create something new that does all the work of employing others but also gives us something new in return, abilities we didn't have before.
The argument the poster used was an instance of the Broken Window Fallacy. If the justification of space program funding is because "that money goes to WORKERS" as the poster said, then it is what it is.
I'm not arguing against a space program. What I'm saying is,arguing that a space program is good because it employs workers is sloppy thinking.
When someone says that the cost to go to space is too expensive, I have to emphasize where the money goes to build the spacecraft. It's not like we take millions of dollar bills, smelt them into vehicles or stuff bills in the fuel tanks and set them afire. That money goes to WORKERS who build the space vehicles and COMPANIES that make jobs. That's economically a Good Thing.
"We get to find out lots of interesting things -- like how to authenticate against Active Directory, how to run non-Microsoft mail clients with Exchange," and the like, [Bill Hilf] said.
"Once we figure a way to for other products to interoperate with Microsoft, my job is to modify our product so the other products won't work," he added. "It's helps a great deal when I get to look at our competitors code, but they can't see ours."
At this point, he chuckled a bit to himself while twisting his pencil-thin mustache with his fingers.
Note however that the TCP/IP work was done under a DARPA grant, paid for by the US government, so it is not only legal, but even moral right for Microsoft to use this code.
Granted. However, if they do so, their horse isn't so high when they harp on and on about having strict intellectual property controlls. *They* benefit from the work of others, how can they call it a cancer?
Google will not allow the increasingly popular formats that include video, sound and interactive elements. And it has restrictions on the animation, to keep ads from repeating endlessly or flashing in a particularly distracting manner.
Hmm. Dunno yet. I'm not unilaterally against all advertising, just irritating advertising. I may not block these ads. We'll see soon, I suppose.

Does that bother you?
Are your own lives really THAT boring?
Yes, they are. *sniff*

I'll believe it when I see it.

-- This sounds familiar.
Yeah, they did it in Superman 3.
-- Right.
Underrated movie, actually.
Can't we figure out what the users need, and then deliver excellently written software to do that?
Yes, but not on time and within budget.

This is the Broken Window Fallacy. Sloppy thinking.
As far as I am aware a stipulation of the contract between Fox and Universal is that there cannot be another TV show.
Do you know where I can find more info on this?
What they weren't sure of is when it will be ready to roll out.
It's only ten years away.
to play 99% of the games out there you need windows.
Funny, my PlayStation plays games just fine, and it doesn't run Windows.
no fedora? or does fedoa == red hat on the survey?

Name the movie.
Too many fronts...
Man, I *wish* someone would start maintaining the "Software Wars" graphic again. It hasn't been updated in over two years.
