Yeah, I do.... damn Microsoft for actually including a TCP/IP stack with their operating system instead of forcing me to go out and acquire one on my own. This sort of convience is a direct assault to customers, what with it making computing so much easier. This sort of think must not be allowed to stand.
Your metaphor is incorrect for this case. It is more like someone on the street takes a megaphone from you and starts telling you that you should repent of be saved or something and you ask for your megaphone back.
The court is not stoping this person from speaking, he can still call these employees at home (or at work), mail them letters, talk to them in person off the job, wave semaphore flags at them, or whatever. He just can't use Intel's property to do so after they have asked him to stop.
Man, did you sit through ET and go "well, the odds of extraterristal life are very small, even if you assume very high values for many of the values of Drake's equation. Futhermore, I find the whole telekensis aspect of this alien life completely without merit"
Or did you wonder why they knew Charles Foster Kane's last word when he died alone?
. They have no more right to stop people from trying to mail them than I have to stop people from sending me junk snail mail. I think
Well, aparently they DO have the right to stop people from emailing them. You also have the right to ask companies not to send you junk mail, and you can sue them if you wish. Not that it is guaranteed to work and it probably will cost you a lot of money, but you can do it. Why are you upset at Intel for using their rights?
Intel obviously has the rights to control what goes through their electronic infrastructure and is stored on their servers. A ruling in the other direction would be even more chilling.
Hmm... I work at a fortune 500 company and we run everything from SAP to our Web Servers to our Data Warehouse on down on NT and Intel boxes. Works pretty well.
i?it never would have occured to these kids to do this if it weren't for the television coverage of the last couple dozen times this happened...
Oh brillent! No one ever killed each other before TV. No Wars, No bombings, No robberies, just cutsie bunnies dancing in the meadows every day singing their cute little songs.
Some Linux users in general, and slashdotters in specific, like to feel like the little guy in the fight for truth, justice, and the [fill in your country]-ian way. With MS having a particularly bad run lately, I think its a case of looking for the next "evil empire" to turn against. Red Hat has gotten a lot of good press and some investments from large corporations so their persecution complexes have turned to Red Hat. Irrational as it may seem.
Who cares about RedHat?

Red Hat 6.0

Seeing as they are not a publicly traded company, I doubt they worry about their stock falling.
Boy and Apple has been such a spectacular success over the years... best to emulate them. This is why Corel has been a second rate company for all these years.
Oh please, I've been using USB stuff on my computer (Windows) for over a year, with the old Win 95 OSR 2.5 release, and never had any problems. Oh, I forgot, Apple "invented" everything, like the GUI....
Big deal... I could care less who knows what TV programs I watch. Do you hyper-active privacy people drive a different way to work every day so no one follows you? Oh, that's right you don't have a car because of that privacy violating "license plate" which is really just another way for The Man to track you down, right?
Get a new job and quit whining already. If you can't get a job that pays more, then the market had decided that you aren't worth any more than you are already making.

Explain to me again how you can have "spies" on a project that uses open standards?
Remember Trumpet WinSock?

True, but if someone ported VisiCalc to Linux would you get too excited? I mean, it was THE standard for spreadsheets for years....
They skimmed the best stuff off C++, made it easy to use and incredibly fast to run
You know, I thought I'd die before I saw the words Java and incredibly fast in the same sentence, without the word NOT inbetween.
I mean come on, even with Hotspot if speed is your main criteria and you choose Java you deserve to be fired / shot / defenestrated, etc..
oh you are being so repressed... poor baby...
What's the story with it? What the problem preventing them from releasing it?

I still to this day bear the deep emotional scars of jr/sr high school
Oh, wahhh... go see a shrink or something.. geez.. it's freakin' high school for crissakes.
the internet is a public network built with public funds.
Bzzzz... thanks for playing. Hasn't been that way for quite a while.

So are you advocating legalizing child porn in order to protect people from your fantasy scenario?
sending an "obscene"(loosley defined term at best) email
I thought obsenity was very well defined via the SLAP test.
People like you always bitch and moan, but never actually leave... why is that? Go ahead, leave. No one is going to miss you.

Wow, I just took this insightful and wonderful comment and republished it on my own web page... are you going to sue me now?
