i wonder how long all of you are going to argue about the practicality of an abviously promotional vehicle.
do you go car shows and discuss the practicality of concept cars? monster truck shows and go an and on about gas milage?
this is merely a "what if wouldnt it be cool" car. it is cool. thats all. its job is to draw attention to their booth...or their website. it did exactly what its supposed to.
I'm getting sick of everyone saying "restricting freedom" and being blindly against the notion because it rolls off the tounge easily.
all of your "freedoms" are restricted for your OWN safety right now. you can't walk out on the tarmac because you might get hit by a plane taking off. and you can't drive a tank, fire an uzi in the bus station for fun, etc. drastic examples, but only to make the point that you arent free to do alot of things for your OWN SAFETY.
well now they need to make new rules to keep terrorists from blowing up more things.
so lets not call it restricting your freedom...you arent free. your just more unrestricted than other citizens in other countries.
but ive been dropping fiber into the sewer for years.
about an hour after each meal.
"colon-blow, all the flavor, with 80x's the fiber"

Just as in print advertising, as the population becomes more and more desensitized and trained ignore the normal banners at the top of a page, ads will change to re-attract their attention.
This is not an evil conspiracy, its is normal evolution. Yes, it sucks, yes, we don't want it. Yes, you'll have to deal with it.
Look at the obnoxious ads at CNET (news.com). They have huge eds there for sun. Click any article.
I've had a rely to my post saying that it was dirty of SSH to wait as long as it did to enforce its trademark (my post says theres no expiration on the right to prosecute, there shouldnt be, and openSSH should have known better.)
To say SSH is dirty for waiting is like saying that the recent DirectTV tactic of letting everyone clone their chips over and over without a word, and then destroying them all in one genious swoop, was dirty.
Sorry, they knew it was wrong, they got the benefit of instant recognition at the beginning by using SSH's name, and now they have to deal with it. If they were a bunch of idiots, I'd be sad, but they got their early recognition on the back of the name brand, and now it doesn't matter if they are great...the real name holders want them off their backs.
This may all boil down to "too bad openSSH, bad call on using someone elses name". As much as I'd like to support open SSH, i don't like their "expiration of right to prosecute" argument. this strangely paralels the domain fair use arguments. If it can be confused, then it infringes. (the recent win by a "*sucks.com site definitely makes it more interesting).
I can't see why any lack of enforcement in 2 years should be an argument that enforcing it now is any less just. It was never the fault of SSH Communications Security that the open project decided to use SSH letters. And maybe just now their trademark is being infringed. Noone told them to pick SSH.
Yes, it sucks, yes, there are probably motivations to enforce it NOW all of the sudden. But that doesn't make it less enforceable or less of an argument.
Just because somebody gets fed up with something, or realizes the damage it is doing late in the game does not make it less damage.
(regardless of how legitimate the infringement claim will turn out to be).
and it will do so because this community just will NOT take no for an answer....there's too many bright minds out there. I'm personally interested in the guys over at www.musiccity.com in league with napigator.
The main problem legally with napster is that there is a central server. That problem is being solved by having multiple and/or moving servers. This makes it much harder the levy a lawsuit against anyone.
We all know napster works, but it's illegal (or will be soon). Warez is illegal, but it will never go away because you just can't prosecute.
Look up the subject "metatron". Theories regarding this idea involve the movement of society to a data-based entity, ultimately more important than its people.
It might be of some interest that the recent military space wargames actually included pico sattelites as a possible threat.
In this case though, the pico satellites, because of their relative ease of construction, were actually the red teams threat (red usually is the enemy to the united states, whearas the US is blue. In this case, a country like Iraq was the enemy).
In this case the sattelites would be used as small explosive devices, set into orbit to collide or come near a US sattelite, (communications or spy) and destroy it, cripling such systems as surveillance or GPS.
But it should make you a little queasy. That meta-self that runs your life has been out there since the first person started collecting data. It isn't YOU that walks into a bank and asks for a loan. It isn't your suit that gets you that loan.
John Q. Banker smiles at the physical YOU and then goes and finds out about your meta-self. This person has much more clout in the world than you ever will. This person is your credit rating, your pay stubs, etc. That person means so much more.
And now the census. A huge compilation of data. The pot of gold at the end of the advertising/data mining rainbow. Of COURSE they will find a way to use it. It is just to valuable to the open market. This is an advertisers dream. Targeted information on a broad scale down to the very last detail.
And so the real question here lies in not whether the motivations are just for doing this. We made this situation by having a free market system. The question is what the census will do to protect that data, or how they will re-work their questions to protect the individual. Otherwise, there will be a huge resistance to ever filling out a census form again.
THAT would be a shame, because the census really does some good for people, as big and lumbering as it is.
KDE is not a linux distribution. Let the distributions do this; it's their job. Distributions ought to have a single tool for adding and removing software. And I mean adding software that you haven't downloaded yet.
Feeding a previously d/led rpm to a package manager doesnt cut it. It ought to act like a catalog of software that you can pick stuff you want and it'll D/L the RPMs and handle dependencies. Debian does this, but not in a newbie-friendly way.
Although the idea of the "click" as obvious prior art, the actual patent touches on many idea's for the methodology of grabbing the cart information from the db, storing that data, and calling it later.
i think its a pretty lame thing to patent, but the methodology involved was first developed at amazon, so they may have some claim to it.
and I'm very curious to see how the bunch over at musiccity.com, in league with napigator, attempt to revive the napster architecture of a central server while still avoiding the easily prosecitable "central server".
as Gnutella attempts to get quicker (its slow as hell now), I'll wish them well, and be looking to the napigator project for hope.

Watch them closely around water. If it avoids water like the plague, seems to hate it... it probably has hardware & batteries up its butt.

For this logic to work, then this tax must be applied to all things that are capable of reproducing or duping copywritten material.
This can include computers, VCR's, tape recorders, hell, answering machines. There is no way to tell what will be done with the product.
If i ever had to pay that tax you'd be damn sure I'd get my moneys worth. I'd burn things for everybody. What a crock this is.
