Ah but you see, the DRM makes it so you can't pick the bitrate, nor the format. So while the article is FUD, when it finally comes down to it and you want to listen to music on your player... the article still sheds light on what you should do.
Ah but you see. it was only 89 million because the judge determined the infringment wasn't willful(what the hell that has to do with damages is a testiment to our fucked up power grabbing civil system that tries to be a criminal system). If they went ahead and infringed again they would be in for some huge damages. I'm sure licensing this patent is extremely expensive as well, because the company surely knows that everyone expects vibration out of their console controllers now.
Linksys bailed on linux in the standard WRT54G. They took it out and used all the good press the thing had to start selling a less capable machine as the same product. But now they make the WRT54GL, which is the exact same as the old WRT54G.
I don't think the price of the motherboards was keeping inventors from toying with embedded devices based on them. So I think we can assume he was talking about putting a hacked together product into moderate production. Sure, someone can build a tin box by hand, but is the time worth it when you are making a few hundred of the things yourself?
If you are the builder of the best product in your market it doesn't make you a "stellar" startup. You also have to figure out how to make money with it.
The shadow layer thing you described could easily be put into a tiny script. The problem is having it automatically run on changes, but at least the repetitiveness of it could be diminished if you just setup a simple script.
Let's say you had funds to put 2 kids through college. You don't have funds to put 2 kids through college and pay for feeding and care a troglodite who has almost zero chance of breeding sucessfully. If the two kids good go to college they could literally 10, hell 15 new kids. Otherwise they can only manage your 7. That's less kids total if you go with incest.
what will replace that function on your libertarian utopia/ dystopia?
How about charities? Christ. Are they such a foreign concept to you that you think everything must be handled by some compulsorily funded state run behemoth? Your ideas sound less human and more "lizard-like" than you realize.
Umm, I guess you don't remember when games required you to read little bits out of the manual to verify that your copy was legit? That was more of a PITA than having to have a CD with you.
Ok, well they have lost a lot of money and have not recouped the money spent on the development effort and will not for the foreseeable future. Is that clear enough?
Rumor has it you spent an hour yesterday walking your dog for fun--wow are you stupid, I can't believe you are doing work and you think it is fun. I pay someone to walk my dog.
Exactly, and as we now know, people working on XBox 360 titles already realised this and they are upsampling to HD on many games that are in the works and some that are out now (Project Gotham), albeit from slightly higher than standard def. I think the whole HD support is a ploy and when the PS3 is released they will begin to do all games in the "slightly higher than standard def, upscaled to high def" style to compete on graphics in the vast majority of the market: standard def.
What I don't get is that if they don't go on sale for a month, why was anyone allowed to scoop up "polo" early? The word isn't trademarkable and I thought the sunrise period was just for trademarks.

True for games, but Tipper started this whole thing as a founding member of the PMRC.
What? You didn't know, for instance, that movie directors aren't allowed to watch movies unless they make them themselves?
Not to mention Tipper Gore and Hillary Clinton.
Those are design patents... moron.

Explain why.

Interesting tidbit: the original baldur's gate was going to be an MMORPG.
I think this kid is a pansy. I mean, look at what this kid did when he was 14 (he co-wrote the RSS 1.0 specification).

If Gaim (and hell their service icons...) doesn't have to change their name... why should Gnomemeeting?
You know what ebay also does? They take old items out of their database in a fairly short amount of time.

Moral relativism has done just exactly that since its exception. It eschews the whole idea of moral superiority and therefore of moral progress.

That's true, but in the post he was responding to we see: "Firefox has Google."
That is a very large "albeit." Even after release if you use E17 it won't be ready for production.
