He's probably more mad that they didn't contract id to port SMB3 to the PC (I kid you not, they cloned the basic engine, copied the first level, sent it to Nintendo, and were rejected),
Note the word "may". Clever display of reading skills.
Speculation. Yes, it is.
Buesiness fact. Spelling error.
As anybody would. Insightful commentary.
Excellent. Mr. Burns?
A barbeque joint couldn't put cyanide in the hotsauce, mention it on the ingredients list, and get away with it (in civil court)--even if they didn't know cyanide was poisonous.
Water drinking contests are far more dangerous than all of the things you named. If you drink over a certain amount in a cetain timeframe, the electrolytes in your body get too dilluted and you die. It happens on college campuses all the time.
[i.e. something that they use in the license or in their technology but haven't patented].
The patent filing was 2005, so unless it is a new addition to Vista inbetween that time, it's inclusion in Vista would be prior art, and Redhat's patent wouldn't be granted, and if it was granted it would be rendered unenforceable.
He might as well try and patent the airplane. If he really wants to prevent further spread of DRM, he should use his energy educating people about it's true costs. The only people who are going to read about this already know about DRM.
Many providers charge more for a text message than a 1 minute phone call if you don't have an unlimited texting plan. Of course the bandwith for the call is many many times more.
I agree; doctors should go to every funeral of each dead patient they lay eyes on. However, if they had ever had contact with the patient, they should stand with the family at the visitation, and meet all the past friends and distant relatives that come through to grieve.
He doesn't have to code something that matches their reasons. He has to code what they ask. Besides, by your crazy logic, he shouldn't code it at all, since there is no guarantee that it will ever arrive.
One time I spent a month on a small paper--end result I got an A+. Another time, I didn't do the paper at all, and it turned out my professor thought he had read mine and lost it, didn't want to bring it up to me, and I got an A+. Therefore, not doing any work at all is better than doing any. Oh wait, there's that little problem of anecdotal evidence. Hmm, I bet it applies to another post in this thread. Where could it be? Perhaps it's right above mine.

But the average person does know games on their Wii look just like games on their gamecube.

Mitnick, the industry heavy-weight. That's a new one on me. Good job. Nice ruse.
None of that happened with the shuttle.
You've never heard of someone "killing themselves"?

But the contestants are putting themselves in danger that they need to understand in the first place.

No, he means a graviton.
Well now that it's published it can't be patented. Thanks a lot asshole.

Are you sure? The Bush Administration claimed Sadam had ties to Al Qaeda. You don't think *anyone* believed him?
I stopped when I saw you mention Bin Laden. There was no connection between Sadam and Bin Laden.

I was being sarcastic.
Why not a DS? March of the mini's *is* Lemmings. For all intents and purposes.
That it breaks down for threaded applications? (perl solves this very elegantly)
You're forgetting that the DRM isn't just for the labels; it is also there to keep the songs from playing on non-ipod devices.

He said "It should be sent by" not "It should arrive by". Bugger off.
"If MSFT or Sony pulled this crap, the entire Slashdot universe would reign fury on these companies."
Sony has done this on their cellphones for years (as have nearly every other manufacturer, particularly if they deal with verizon).
