    has no one ever thought of lying on the internet? Or should i patent is and make millions. this i like the google requirement of using you real name on google+, simple solution is to lie. you have no qualms about lie on license agreement for software saying that you have read and agree to the agreement, so why not telling a lie online.

    maybe the unix posix family is such a convoluted mess of shared, reverse engineered, convergent code that has been owned by so many people under so many licenses that no one really knows who owns what all what they ought to do i simply open source the whole mess under a bsd/mit licence and after that you can do what ever the hell you want with it be it lock it up or share with others but that will never happen unfortunately and won't happen be de-facto for another 70 years or so when the copyright finally starts to run out until then it is a sue each-other into oblivion or cross license and hope they actually own what the are licensing.

    they didn't forget the patent trolls, they mentioned apple in the above post.
    now seriously apple google and microsoft are either going to sue each other into oblivion and we all will lose because they will also be suing other infringers to pay for their war on each other.
    or they will cross licence and everyone else will lose because they will go after every other infringer patents need to be shortened and there needs to be real patent reform. and don't get started on copyright. but we all already know this this is not news. what would be news is if some one who has the power to do something about it would pay attention. wake me up when this happens.

  23. at least they know what we are looking for on The Gradual Death of the Brick and Mortar Tech Store · · Score: 1

    reminds of something that happened a few months ago to me. i bought a new two terabyte external hard drive for school so i could move my virtual machines with me between computers (several computer labs, my home computer, and my laptop), i spent a the bit extra that for one with eSATA so it could transfer the files i needed at a reasonable rate. I bought it online because no one in town carried one with eSATA drives at the size i needed for a reasonable price. when it arrived from newegg it did not have the eSATA cable with it. so off to the stor to buy it i went. at staples the sales associate said they didn't carry them so to try radio shack and walmart,(the only other stores in town that would conceivably carry them), but the did have Martha Stewart brand home and office stationary. staples didn't carry them only SATA. i was told to try walmart and staples but that they would probably not have them so try Amazon newegg or radio-shack.com, i tried walmart grudgingly and the sales associate told me they did not carry cables for inside computers... i explained to the sales associate that that the e in eSATA was for external and still didn't know where to look. so i hunted and they didn't have any. i bemoan the loss of real electronic stores
