Two, don't get pissed at OOo, talk to Apple. If Apple wants other apps to be able to work natively on its platform, they're going to have to open up. I don't see how anyone expects significant work to be done when everything has to be reversed engineered. This is what pisses me off about people who complain about GAIM's lack of options compared to the protocol-native clients for each service (AIM, Yahoo!, ICQ, Jabber, IRC, etc.).
I could move to Great Britain or Canada and have all of that, so why don't you STFU? The government we have now is NOT what our government should be. The government should not provide healthcare, it should not provide retirement benefits (from a system that has lived passed its usefulness), it should not be providing anything much past a military and organization to deal with foreign governments in matters of trade and peace (between us and everyone else, if at all possible).
This is true, and while I don't get 50K messages a day, I probably get around 2-3K messages a day, if not more (I'm on several high volume mailing lists). While SA is doing the job after the mail is accepted, I don't trust it enough to reject mail before it's accepted. The very few false-positives keep it like that. I don't know of any spam-filter that is 100% free of false-positives and even false-negatives.
what gives a tsunami its power is that the wave is from the top of the ocean to the bottom of the sea. Do some googling on tsunamis and learn how they are formed (especially earthquake formed tsunamis) and watch The Science Channel every now and then.
In other news, the money could have also stayed in the pockets of citizens, where it belongs. Not forcibly taken by the government via taxes in the first place.
As for being profitable, that doesn't explain why Apache, a product of Linux and the Open-Source movement (which runs on several platforms other then Linux, such as Windows) has been exploited less then IIS despite Apache having 64% market share (according to Netcraft).
Which I have no problem with. As far as I'm concerned terms of employment are a private matter between employee and employer. It's when the employer tries to screw their employees that I have a problem. I'd like to assume though that you mean generally minor in the fact that the patent generally doesn't produce the amount of money a blue LED would.
It's not a non-story. Maybe for/. it's a non-story, but it is newsworthy. A corrupt politician tried to shift the focus from himself to someone else who was only spreading the truth. When stories like that get supressed, because people like you think they aren't newsworthy, then it's too late.
I agree, it's not that interesting but at the same time, I like to hear about such cases because it reassures me that the entire system isn't completely pwned by political corruption and our Corporate Overlords. Give this judge a pat on the back.
I'm very impressed that Google (or more to the point Chris Dibona) responded and the bug was fixed so quickly. Can we expect more of this from Google in the future? I sure do hope so.
You're forgetting the case is in Japan, where the law probably is different, therefore the rules are different. Also, it's my understanding that even American scientists working at a corp receive royalties and a bonus for making such an invention.
I'm sorry, if something seems unusual where mother nature concerns, I get the goosebumps and then get the hell out of there. Unusual + mother nature = something wicked this way comes
I never said I wasn't an idiot. (; I've gone out of state twice to visit my fiancee, the first time I had two disposable camera's and pretty much took a picture of memorable moments and events.
Although I should say limit the scope to "Tourists in foreign countries are idiots". Seriously, what FOOL records a tsunami from the beach or sticks around to record a pyroclastic flow?
Actually you only own a license to that copyrighted work, and a limited one at that (Fair Use backups, etc.), but i do imagine you might have one. IANAL.

One, it's c'est la vie :p

Internap has been hosting LJ since long before Six Apart thought about taking over LJ. If you bother to read you'll know this.

Are you high?

I agree, this was totally irresponsible, although I think the damages might be excessive.

I've not had any problems just using SpamAssassin at the inbox. All spam gets caught, very few false-positives.
But isn't Morse Code just symbolic binary?

Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it??

I have. Awesome series IMO.
Oh? That really didn't come to mind when I read about the belt. An odd formation to say the least.

I use LJ and I've raised some interesting points. I hope I get a response that isn't Lawyerese for "stick this spiked dildo up your ass".

That is sad, it really is. Tourists are idiots anyways, I wouldn't want them or there money if it meant that lives would be possibly saved.
I completely agree and plan on getting Skype next time I have some money to afford it.
Limited amount of time being the keyword, of course.
While this is odd, what's even odder is the amount of funny comments I've read for this article already.
Good points indeed. Lets hope there are no special exceptions.
