E.g., does that mean other people are free to design a similar interface? Of course not.
Yes, they are.
Citation needed, since your statement denies the obvious purpose of a design patent. Please don't nit-pick over what "similar" means, unless you're contracting to present legal advice to every Slashdot reader.
Warming, schwarming. If we can't head off the next ice age, then we're royally boned. Not completely as a species, but our post-ice-age descendants will have to bootstrap themselves from wood to nuclear, since we've used up all the easily accessible fossil fuels. Sucks to be them.
Well, quite. The official forums form a useful first port of call for all players, and if the idea is to brag about your 1337 character build, then presumably you want the biggest audience for your ego.
When the Forum Nazis take over, then 3rd party sites become necessary, but proactive fragmenting of the community seems a little premature.
PC ownership in the Far East is much lower than in our decadent Westron cultures. In that market, the Wii browser is up against smartphones, not netbooks.
The delusion is thinking that screaming terms like "abuse" (repeated over and over), "poisoning education" (think of teh childraaan!) and "bribing officials" (libel ahoy!) is going to win hearts and minds.
Throwing shit at Microsoft is just going to get the FSF's hands smeared in crap. If they do persuade anyone to come off the Microsoft teat, they're more likely to drive them to MacOS than to a FOSS system.
Do you understand that? I typed it really slowly to make it easier.
it will become worth it tap more expensive supplies of helium
You know, it's that assumption that there must be an alternative supply of everything that's got us on the slippery slope back to the fucking stone age when the oil really does run out.
Merely efficient. Why spend money to update your model when there's no effective competition? Bear in mind that their customers are advertising executives.
Mature companies spend ~15% of their budget on advertising. That's a given. All they care about is that the marketing department make a token effort to not completely waste that budget. And how does an advertising executive show that they're spending their budget effectively? No, it's not increased company profit; they just point at the Neilsen ratings. See why it's all so cosy, and there's no incentive to change the way it works?
anyone who doesn't run powertop is just blindly ignorant, basically
(Ubuntu 9.04 desktop)$ powertop The program 'powertop' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install powertop bash: powertop: command not found
Yes, what kind of moron doesn't know about things that aren't installed?
It seems very much to depend on the local police force and CPS whether they invest the time and money to procure and produce evidence. Out of interest, which area does your Magistrate operate in? The Met have the budget to make use of CCTV - many rural forces don't.
It's OK, most other posters didn't bother to check the New York laws on defamation either, so you're only averagely retarded for posting how you think some hypothetical law should work in a hypothetical jurisdiction.
Oh, please, now that they've been tossed another lifeline, Uncle Fester Investments will drop $3 million pocket change on them to keep this rattling on.
How have they manage to continue this charade for this long and why are people enabling them to continue?
Welcome to the "justice" system, where it's Pay to Play all day, every day. This is a consequence of electing legislators who are predominantly lawyers; if you can't make a living from arguing the law, you can always get a job making up new ones.
Didn't scientific research recently prove that violence was the only solution to that?
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" -- Salvor Hardin, Foundation (Isaac Asimov)
Yes, I'm sure that fictional quote will be a great comfort to you during the coming zombie apocalypse. You hippies need to live in the real world occasionally.
Judge Kimball is gone too, a new guy is hearing this mess.
Sweet Zombie Jesus, you're right. Just when Kimball had finally figured it out, SCO get gifted a blank slate to write their ills on anew. Cue a Mystery Investor in 3... 2... 1...

"Normal" in this case would be "10 times better". Our expectations soar like eagles.

And presumably you'd happily explain that to the children of someone who's just been killed by a TXT DRVR?
At this point, your choices are to lie, or STFU.
You're like some sort of idiot-savant, only without the savant part.

If you want people to switch to your offering, have a proxy do your negative campaigning. Don't get the crap on your own hands. M'kay?

On Earth, we humans reproduce by spawning small copies called "children."
He likes to suck on young virgins. That's a vampire, surely?
You poor, poor man. If I were trapped inside your head, I'd consider forcibly ventilating my prison.
