Keep in mind, that the US had a regime change between the bark and the bite. MS has not been able to find the right politician or political office to influence in the EU to make this go away.
In the US, under Clinton, there was an overwhemling victory against MS. When the judge could not keep his mouth shut and the case was up for retrial, under Bush, the government struck a sweetheart deal.
I, personally, did not see any problem with a judge calling a bunch of criminals, criminals, after he had seen all the evidence, but hey, what do I know, I live in the real world.
The theory is that both copyright and treaty-making are in the constitution. The RIAA and the MPAA are whispering in the ears of congress, "If you pass a law giving us new rights, it can be constitutionally challenged and we lose, but if you make it part of a treaty, then we can contend that overturning the new treaty is just as unconstitutional as granting us a new right. We can contend that the Supreme Court does not have the power to overturn a treaty."
I agree. I think it would be cool to get the Super Mario Universe all on one disk or all of Zelda on one disk (or disk collection). I might even buy a Wii just for that!
Possibly, but the consumer will be waiting for 2 Core 2 Double Duo SX. 16 cores, but only 2 working until you plug in the 2 Core 2 Double Duo DX2 coprocessor.
Its their failed skunkworks projects they are selling right now! Intel does this, but have been losing alot lately. As DAldredge points out, Itanic is one of these failed projects.
Refocus on their core business, that is what they need to do.
Forking? They are worried about FORKING? Do you know how many FORKING Javas I have on my manchine to cover all the stinking apps that require a specific version of Java?
All digital media will disappear eventually due to technological changes and the emergence of DRM. Since we can not copy or migrate DRM protected content without assistance of the copyright holder, and they may or may not exist in the future or wish this migration, the content dies. How many movies have been lost forever because they were kept in a vault and not copied in time? DRM is a digital vault where artistry is left to die.
So, all movies, music, and video games created today will eventually cease to exist and thier creaters forgotten, while older artists will be remembered because thier creations can be freely copied. Only print media will be left for our legacy.
Could be worse, on December 31, 1999, ABC news was in the AOL NOC and the reporter asked the guy he was interviewing, "Is this the core of the Internet?", after pausing for a moment, wondering how much time in hell he was going to spend, responds, "Yes. This is the core of the Internet."
Read the story and the case on John's website. He asked the ticket agent, "Is this an airline policy or a US Government requirement?", the agent responded, "This is a US Law." Her further asked, "May I see the law?" The response was, "No. This is a secret law."
Not harmed financially? If he was harmed as much as $1, he can sue and get into punitive damage territory. If copies were given to MPAA staffers, those staffers will not need to see the movie in the theater or buy it on DVD, since they already have a copy, that is all it takes. IANAL.
When you violate the terms of an agreement, usually you break a law. In this case, they do not have a license to copy the GPL portions of the DrDOS they are selling. This is conversion. If they sold or distributed GPL software while knowingly breaking the GPL, they may be on the hook for fraud. Come to think of it, there is always suing for "breach of contract"...
OpenServer administrators will be pleased to see that Version 6 supports dynamically loading kernel modules. Previously, basic operations in OpenServer, such as changing the IP address of an Ethernet device, required kernel relinking and a reboot--an inconvenience that's no longer required.

You use XOR to clear a register. XOR CX, CX sets the CX register to 0. It is faster than MOV CX, 0.

Your complaining about cross-site dupes? At least the same-site dups are reduced.

Let it fork, it can't POSSIBLY get any worse.
I would imagine Cox would use TiVo Series3.
Sure they can. They have better customer service!
They are not. Was able to look up records of at least one elected official.
Make checks payable to... well you can look up that info yourself!
I believe the word Apple is looking for is "Privateer". A state-sponsored pirate is a privateer.

Cool. First thing I thought of too!

How can anyone be expected to follow secret laws?
Wrong. Try again.
Minimum wage applies to everyone except independent contractors, except it is mostly a civil matter. They choose not to sue.

IANAL either, but...
It is illegal.

Gee, "pick up the cord, plug it in" or "set on pad". Not really worth $250 to me.
All this talk about DECNet and no mention of twinax?
