Wouldn't it be great to seperate Microsoft Bugs from, well, the rest of them? I'm sure some people, especially those on slashdot would choose to see the "Microsoft Bugs" topic on the front page based on if they:
a.) Run Microsoft exclusively (only want to see Microsoft bugs)
b.) Run Microsoft exclusively (don't want to see Microsoft bugs)
c.) Want to find any reason to bash Microsoft... (only want to see Microsoft bugs
d.) Don't run Microsoft at all (don't care about Microsoft bugs)
I think you are absolutely right... However, Windows 98 still has many many more vulnerabilities than Windows XP. You just need to balance security (read: newer) with useful (read: needed) features.
Looks fairly similiar to the Zaurus SL-5500

Secure PDAs

which I picked up fairly recently and is exactly what I've been looking for in a PDA (with OpenZaurus its even better). However:
this machine does not feature the slide out keyboard, and while it is quite small on the zaurus, I'd say I use it about half the time (hey, you ever get drunk and try to use graffiti?;) )
the machine [looks] very large! Like a Jornada or something!;)
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Firmware download for my linksys router had both Windows and 'other OS' options (other OS was a generic.zip file)... However, the installation guide was in Word.doc format! Who would go through all this trouble to remain platform and/or software neutral, yet require Microsoft Word / some other.doc reader when anything else would be more than sufficient...
Does anyone else remember getting a check from Nintendo (in the late 80s) for like $5 or $10? Apparently they were price fixing the NES Unit for $99, and were order to pay a fixed amount to every registered NES owner.
AC: Keyword = primarily. I can understand not reading the article in question, but not even reading the comment you are replying to?... Or did I just feed the trolls?
By that definition, at least in my mind, it would seem like entrapment. If the copyright holder hadn't been there, copyright wouldn't have been violated. Maybe I'm just using that directory for storage. Its pretty convenient after all... Maybe I'm sharing my entire filesystem... (in theory)
In a p2p program, a user searches for a file... Copyright holder program: Hey does anyone have this file?
Suspect Program: Yep I have it.
Nothing has broken any laws yet, right?
Copyright holder's program: Oh... Can I have it?
Suspect's Program: Oh sure, here
If the copyright holder hadn't asked for it, no copyright would have been broken. So I guess the question is I have is whether entrapment occurs when not involving law enforcement, rather copyright enforcement.
I'm really only concerned with their statement that p2p networks are 'primarily' used to infringe on copyright. Even if that is so, I'm curious how the plan to prove it. Think about it this way: Does the availability of copyrighted works violate copyright? No. So they're either going to use the availability as a measure or they are downloading or sharing files on KaZaA (as you mentioned), which is simple entrapment, or in the case of files only being named that of a copyrighted song, not copyright infringment at all.

Most people cannot afford $90 for a distribution, and we are taking the time and effort to distribute Mandrake at a very reasonable price while donating to Mandrake, which most Linux CD retailers don't do. On the site we even suggest that you register with Mandrake Club.
In the late 80s I got a coupon for like $5 or $10 off my next Nintendo game purchase. Nintendo had price fixed their NES console at $99... But here, I am the victim and I'm not getting anything, even if it really is just a ploy to get me to purchase more stuff...
That while this may be targetting 'the enemy', we need to consider other rammifications if this lawsuit succeeds. The 'PIN' idea seems rather, well, obvious (I'm not sure if DownloadCard was responsible for this, but Daft Punk did the same thing with their album 'Discovery'). While the DownloadCard is 'novel, original and unique' it doesn't mention that it is patented.
In the same sense, you shouldn't support the US government's attack on Microsoft just because you don't like Microsoft.
They make published donations to Mandrake and other Open Source projects with the profits from each sale.
We've run into some problems with Credit Card processing, so only PayPal, Check, and Money Order are accepted, but we should get CC processing up soon!
Oh my, how did I forget that one?! You know what would be interesting is a discussion on movie to game translations instead. There were many more good movie to game translations than series to game.

Come on, Bind 9 has been out for some time, so don't flip out!

I'd rather see 802.11b than bluetooth...

I'd be interested where/how they figured this. A p2p network should disperse very little information about actual distribution of copyrighted works.

Nice troll, though.
Oh yea, Iomega did this as well

Duck Tales for NES
Bart's Nightmare for SNES
Tiny Toons for SNES
That's all I can come up with
So far today, LNUX (VA Software) (eg. Slashdot, etc) rose nearly 50%! This is ontop of rising from 0.60 to 0.8 in about a week. Good job and thanks!
