Actually I think you'd use an MPAA case as a precedent. Wasn't there a case from the MPAA against a company that was creating a side editing track to cut out the bad(good) parts of a movie to reduce it from R to PG-13?
I've found that people who are not technical don't necessarily realize that Microsoft Office is a separate product from Microsoft Windows - they've never seen one without the other.
If I were a cynical guy I'd take this as Intel giving Microsoft's cash cow the FU salute after Microsoft said Windows 8 would run on Arm based tablets. Good thing I'm not a cynical person - oh, wait...
Let me guess, the garage will have a turntable and the cars will come out of a gate of street signs. Will they call this thing the Batcave or Wayne Manor?
I wasn't really worrying about three letter agencies in this as much as Amazon itself knowing even more about me than they already do and using that to market to me endlessly. It already happens a lot that I see a product mentioned so I look at it on Amazon, but then it bugs me after that with all sorts of related suggestions so I end up going in and deleting it from my viewing history. If you've got three letter agencies interested in you, then your life is far more interesting than I plan for mine to be, and probably not in a comfortable way.
Can you imagine what happens when at an inconvenient time someone goes to their Amazon home page and it says "because you like www.clownsboinkingnuns.com we recommend this selection of clown masks"
I think systems like this will reset any time left on the meter as soon as the car pulls out, so nobody can come in and park "for free" by using the left over minutes. That's what increases the revenue.
Some of my favorite weeks as a programmer was when my system ended up with a good number LESS lines of code than it did at the start. Of course there was also when I switch a system from hand coded JDBC calls to Hibernate and all of the sudden about HALF the code disappeared...
There's one thing about one company buying a patent to use it defensively. It's kinda another situation when every company but one enters into an agreement with each other for the express purpose of keeping patents away from just one of their collective competitors. That sounds to me like collusion.
Not trying to be flamebait, but wind power is generally considered to be "free" power, but the energy is coming from somewhere. While we're not at a scale yet which could have an impact, has anyone studied the effect of taking that kinetic energy out of the weather system? Scaled up in a big way could we affect weather patterns?
I'm no expert on Drupal 7, but in about 5 minutes I got the source for Mollom and found line 599 in mollom.module which shows how they hook mollom function into any form in Drupal which has been configured for it. I would think this is on the trail of what you want as comment submission would I assume be just another form that could be enabled for Mollom or something else you're planning to write. No special comment intercept needed - it's more generic now.

I'm 46 and I grew up with Star Trek, the World Trade Center, the Concorde, and the space shuttle. How's that working out...
Nothing sits for long after it stops being popular/profitable, they implode it and build something else.

Arduino, lots and lots of Arduinos. They're cheap and can be used for lots of stuff.

So, the average Slashdot reader will achieve normal IQ at around age 80?
Didn't APL prove this a long time ago?

Also the WAP protocol used in the early days of phone web browsers.

Reading comprehension is a blessed thing - my comment wasn't who loses, but who wins more.
Nice performance bump for users, and an incredible data mining opportunity for Amazon - who wins more?

If when defending your decision to the press you feel the need to use the phrase "I'm not crazy", you've probably just blown your best excuse...

I don't think they're going to fall for that one again. :-)

This was is so obvious that even the DOJ couldn't ignore it...
I found the D-Wave white papers very hard to understand, but I'm sure it's because of a poor translation from the original Vulcan to (sortof) English.
In next years Slashdot: Do Stone Tablet Developers Really Need Safety Glasses?
The Nook Color as a tablet has only been fully baked since CM7 stable came out a couple of weeks ago.
