Sorry, my brain is fried today, I meant to say that about pac-man, as tetris was obviously invented by the russians. Anyways neither game, was an original idea of atari.
Well accually I believe Atari was only licensed to make the console version of tetris, by Namaco, So Hasbro in no way owns the concept to tetris, but I guess they didn't realize that. But I could be SERIOUSLY wrong.. who knows:)
Where are the crypto enabled builds? Or they already crypto enabled? Why arn't all nightlies enabled yet? When I mean enabled I mean containing the hooks, I release you still have to download the crypto seperatly.
I believe both wordperfect for linux and or staroffice for linux support rtf, is a pretty open format, I would think that other word processors would support it.
Well accually look at what they have patented and the patents for them. Its obvious what they patent accually was a real world device, (which played music samples from an online database to a kiosk at music stores) and they are claiming that the internet version is a violation of their patent. Kinda a switch accually. Though their real world device, is patentable, even by old patent rules, it is a bit silly, and obvious. But I would be willing to say that their patent is valid, (though in general I hate patents on simple inventions in a time of such quick techlogical change) the suit is bogus.
Can you please back up your statement, atleast with some examples of how what I said was wrong? Please note to top part in italics are quotes, I was dissagreing with said quote.
hint: 90% of all germans thought it ok to kill off all the jews. 90% of whites thought it ok to inslave and degrade blacks in the U.S. 90% of all statistics are made up. Don't just make up statistics to back your view, especially if they are completly WRONG. 1 German man thought it was ok to kill off all the jew (ok maby more than 1), but that 1 man was very powerful and had an ability to lead and influence people. He told people what their morals should be, and people followed out of fear or being killed themselves.
The slavery south of the U.S. was a small percent of the US population. Many of the more free thinking southerners were opposed to slavery, but sadly as time went on childered were taught that it was ok, and the though of blacks being in slaves became breed into the southern culture as the norm.
These two instances are completly different that what you are arguing against where you have many completly free thinking individuals, and many artist themselves in support of programs like Napster.
Accually no, it DOOM that makes you kill people, Atleast thats what the media constently says, HAHHA. I never did understand that, noone plays DOOM anymore.
My rights end where yours begin, your rights end where mine begin. You have the right to just about anything you want to yourself, but you don't own his head, so therefor without his express permission, I would recommend refraining to only beating your own head in, and not those of your friends or your wife (whom you also don't own). And if your not the wife beater you sound like, I apologize for the previous comment:)

just out of curiousity, are you finding the term negro to mean black as racist, or the statement that a black man would be giving him ianal. Personally I prefer a black man to give me iaal (I am a lawyer.) That way I can ask him what he thinks of this case:)
Sig (appended to the end of comments you post, 120 chars)
Well this explains it all, but accually it doesn't anyone check the link at the bottom of his comment, its to a copy of DeCSS. HAHAH obviously a troll intended for humor, but almost crossing the line of sanity
Well, its been stated many times that in the occurance of a breakup, there would also be blocks as to the communication between the different companies. Essentially, if Microsoft Application Corp A, wants information on the new APIs of Microsoft Operating Corp B. The only way to get it would be from B releasing such info to the public and A taking. Now I wondering if they would encrypt it:)
The radio station does have to buy the CDs they play. So if I run a station. and buy my own CDs but I'm the only one to listens to it, the music is already paid for. Now the interesting concepts come into play when there is one radio station me, and my friend is the only listener. Am I essentially copying straight over the internet? Yes. Does this kind of broadcast encourage my one listener to buy the song for themselves, No. Is it legal for my friend to record that stream to listen to it later, No. They can record it to analog audio tape, assuming the law treats internet same as FM, which is doesn't yet. So whats the solution, limit the sound quality allowed? No, assume the bands can survive on just selling T-shirts and hats, No. Honestly there is no good answer to these kinds of questions. But interestingly enough true competition generally seems to figure out a way to answer these questions without bringing them to court. So, we will just have to wait and see.
Well, there seems to be a high chance for another legal battle. The right of a copywrite owner to change the license, or more importantly the battle over the meaning of copywrite versus the importance of a electronically stated nonsigned license agreement. Expect this to be a first test of the power of GPL. As I see mattel now suing the mirrors to copywrite violations, not of just the list but of the program to break the list that they now own.
Well, if you read his homepage the statement was basically the same, and seemed to have identical writing style. So either someone spent much time borrowing his style, just to restate was he already stated in his homepage. Or else Matt just simply didn't bother signing it..:)
How in the world did we get ourself into such an position. So now the president can create his own laws that are more important than congresses laws, all while expecting a rubber stamp from congress unless we make other countries angry.. Hmm sounds like the government I want:):(
So, what does one do when ones local market is flooded with people who fake it real well. I'm really good at figuring things out with computers but am openly honest about what I don't know. But it seems like everyone I talk to who has a good job, knows even less than me, but looks as if they know more. So I end up working stupid jobs, getting turned down at every chance. Yes, I'm attempting to go the college route but an AA doesn't seem to be enough and I'm having hard enough time just passing classes in junior college (not college material exactly, when it comes to a job I work my butt off for them, but can't seem to equate motivate myself in formal education)
Well, I'm sure APEX has signed many NDAs and agreements to be licensed as long as they sell DVD players, and such, so while the secret may no longer be a secret, they would still be breaking contract if they made a unlicensed player.
An obvious attempt at trolling generally doesn't deserve a reply, but I just wanted to go over the point that you made.
destroy the economy of the South and turn the war into a Moral Crusade.
Accually the war wasn't a moral crusade untill it was over, the war really had absolutly nothing to do with slavery, but the nice thing about a war is you can made the surendering side do just about anything you want.
The real problem with Jim Crow Laws was that the North raped, robbed, and pilliaged the South, taking ALL THEY COULD in the Great Stealing
I honestly have no idea what your talking about so I'm not going to comment
The South has NEVER RECOVERED! Many down in the South lost all and their families NEVER recovered (black and white).
Tension between the races have yet to recover, but maby its just me, but the south seems to be doing just fine, now that we are starting to get over our hangups about eachother.
The Slavery/Jim Crow analogy breaks down when you realize you are talking about human rights versus DMCA/UCITA and large corporations.
Well yea it is a stupid analogy, but whats your point
Corporations have ALWAYS wanted more power. Now they are getting it (at our expense).

Well in fact their desktop also exist in the windows version, which is just plain stupid.

Ok, stupid comment (just noticed that it comes from original constitution, not amendment) Still seems excessive power though.
