The embryo WotC were nearly put out of business by (the then relatively huge) Palladium suing them over trademark infringement. I guess WotC (well, Hasbro) have since decided that kicking the shit out of little companies is fun, so long as you're the one wearing the boots
Is that Novell are trying to have it both ways. But Free (not Open Source) Software is about principles, not realpolitik. Novell can't back both sides, or claim to be some sort of bridge across troubled waters. Well, they can, but we shouldn't be enabling them. Free Software is over hyar, Microsoft is over thyar. The only acceptable compromise is for Microsoft to surrender; we have nothing to gain by moving towards them.
Leaving aside your bizarre arithmetic (a "$1 contribution" barely covers the costs of collecting it), why this one though? What the hell does Linux have to do with rednecks watching cars drive in an oval for a couple of hours? Wouldn't a quarter of a million dollars be better spent on handing out Ubuntu DVDs to the hillbillys?
God, the words feel dirty even as I type them, but I'm with Malda on this. It's a silly folly, and I'm glad that not many people wasted their money on it.
Developers don't have bottomless budgets. You can either spend your development budgeton making more realistic bruises on the faces of the beaten hookers, or you can actually innovate. The Wii makes it easier for developers to go the second way.
I actually quit watching season 3 just after four episodes, not because I didn't want to see it, but because I wanted to enjoy it so much that I decided to wait and get it pristine on DVD, rather than have it "spoilered" by watching it on TV. Commercials, kids, and the wife, who for some bizarre reason doesn't understand that Battlestar Galactica time is no interruptions time make it hard to give it the attention that it deserves.
Yup, I reckon they did. Voyager took Trek to a level of banality where it was literally a no-brainer to watch it. Contrast with BSG, where I will not watch it unless I can pack the kids off to bed, bar the door, recline the Captain's Chair and crank the volume up to 11. I'd rather wait and watch the DVD than miss even 30 seconds of it.
The people involved in the creation/installation/maintenance of these devices are necessary, i.e. their existence is necessary (consider the case where they are the only people who exist), and so cancelling out their CO2 requirements is also necessary. I've emphasised the important parts of this valid argument to make it easy for you, as I suspect that your parents had the same surname before they conceived you.
Third option: it's easier to retain a lying incompetent to handle your anti-male discrimination than it is to face the wrath of angry fugly bull dyke feminazis on the rag.

Oh, did you spot the best bit? They reserve the right to continue to pursue her to recover their lawyers' fees and costs. Goddamn them.
Learn the difference between civil and criminal cases, Little Billy.

He must be serious; look, he's standing behind a really professional looking perspex podium!

Sure. Did you?
Just installed it and started typing in their personal information, with absolutely no idea what this plugin was doing with it?
Uh huh. Oh, now you're thinking through the security implications.
It's probably not a particularly clever piece of phishing, but the next one might be.
If you can do the job from home, so can a guy in Bangalore who charges 1/5 of your salary.
Since I'm not in a Nielsen household, I'm not included in the viewership figures for any show. Are you?

Oooh, look at all those studies that say that investing in solar power firms is a good idea.
Now, can Google find a solar cell factory that uses its own products?
I'll wait while you search. Off you go.
If you wear a skirt that short, you deserve to get Windows Media DRMed.
I have a much better way of preventing cancer of the uvula, or whatever it is she claims the problem with RFID is.
Wait - how are you typing this; trip-trip-trapping over the keyboard with your cloven hooves, or butting with your horns?
Sure; if you want to fling corpses way up in the air and then have them land again, just use a trebuchet.

Another vital technical question; just how many times did you blow your load while writing that?
OK, go ahead and factor them out. Hurrah, you win, on "principle." We still all drown though.
Don't worry; by the time it gets accepted, it'll be well over 33kg.
I'd like to see the patent litigation on that one: Omnicorp vs the Invisible Sky Giant.
