How else does a business gain loyalty? I mean..well, Microsoft does continually screw it's customer base...
But seriously, what IBM is doing these days is good for them, good for the IT community and business place (competition, improved and more robust solutions, and most of all - choice) and good for the Linux/OSS communities.
And yes, surely they are spending boatloads of cash on legal fees. Better than you or I footing the bill for the good fight.
If doing the Right Thing (tm.) doesn't bring aobut a sense of loyalty...then this is one twisted world.
As far as patents go...how many other times has IBM used those as leverage against a company? Which companies? SCO...Microsoft? Don't see a problem there. (There may be others, I'm SURE there are, but I'm not sure, and don't really care enough to google, so feel free to respond - I'm not trolling)

What I find interesting is that the post mentions how this will necesitate a video card upgrade while the creator's site mentions no video card requirements, just memory and CPU.
The site does mention that it supports current and recent cards, as well as noting that it requires advanced video processing capability - but doesn't set requirements in the specific section. How advanced does your video card REALLY have to be?
Someone try running this on some 2Ghz+ CPU with a (now low-end) 32mb video card and tell us how it goes...
i have java script enabled, but if you go into the advanced options, and de-select the option to allow scripts to remove the status bar - you end up seeing 2 status bars.
I dont see why a script should be allowed to remove the status bar anyway...
Dr. Nishino and Dr. Nayar plan to try their corneal imaging system with archival photographs. "It will be fascinating to go back and look at photographs of important people like John Kennedy," Dr. Nayar said. "From a single image of the eye, we may be able to figure out what was around him and what he was looking at."
C'mon...we all know it was that buxom blonde in the front row....

dude, you can simply have an additional address added to your card
the bill doesnt have to go there.
it's not really a hassle at all...unless you just needed something to whine about.
newegg is great - the problem you have with them is either due to your ignorance or laziness.
nah, email them a virus instead...

This year they faced only the heat and the absence of bathrooms and fresh beer for miles around.

A simple script will parse the addresses; spam-proofed or not. They certainly aren't going to be dealing with bounced traffic.
