  1. Re:Amusing on Microsoft's IE7 Search Box Bugs Google · · Score: 1

    What I find amusing is how the Microsoft toadies come running every time their sacred cow gets gored.

    Google is the most popular search engine, Yahoo is number two, it makes sense from an application design standpoint to make them the easyest to use. Firefox does this quite well.

    You imply that the relationship between Google and Firefox is the same as that between IE and MSN but of course they are not the same at all.

    The rules for monopolies are different that those for the rest of us and for very good reasons.

  2. A better solution on Run Windows Applications Natively in OS X? · · Score: 1

    A better solution would be to create a virtual machine for Windows (or any other os). That way you can sandbox the other os to limit damage from viruses and other malware yet still be able to do things like copy and paste.

    http://www.parallels.com/ looks like just the ticket although I have not tried it yet.

  3. Re:why would it be illegal? on CherryOS Mac Emulator Resurfaces · · Score: 1

    As a lawyer you should be aware of section 504(c) which offers the option of statutory damages that can be $150,000 per infringement if it is willful.

  4. Re:Canada-Runs! on Canada Immune From RIAA? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Canada will only allow extradition if the act is considered a crime in Canada.
    See Canadian Extradition Act

  5. Re:Samba team should... on Samba Team Points Out SCO's Hypocrisy · · Score: 1

    Then SCO has just paid to prove the GPL is valid!

  6. Antibiotics not the only option on Antibiotic Resistant Staph Infections · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Russians have been working for years on alternatives to antibiotics. Phages are viruses that target bacteria and have been shown to be successful in targeting what would otherwise be very resistant strains. http://www.phages.org/PhageHistory.html

  7. Re:Free Sybase? on It's the Developers, Stupid!: The Real NT-Linux Battle · · Score: 1

    Sybase version 11.0.3.3 is free for development and deployment.
