I really do agree, taking the risk of beeing redundant. Who the hell do these people think they are???
Yes, cease and desist is completly ok and something the developer of Killustrator should have expected. But the other stuff...
The lawyers
required that the University sign the cease and desist letter, destroy the
kIllustrator-package, name every KIllustrator user, and disclose the profit
they made from it.
Destroy the package??? Maybe rename it... But hopefully that is what they meant. If not, it smells like mega-lo-mania.
Name every Killustrator user??? Either they are totally, utterly stupid, or very uninformed. This is so ridiculous.
This guy Kai-Uwe Sattler should sue them for harassment or something. Hopefully a German court would see how stupid Adobe's lawyers demands are and tell them to piss off.
B.T.W., I don't use Killustrator, but stuff like this when big corporate lawyers try to mess with small people pisses me off soooo much...

So you think I should give up my Kphotoshop project then? I'd better speed up my Kdreamweaver projekt... Damn... Well, at least I have my Kfrontpag*... ugh.

Maybe jealous is the wrong term, but "lack of self confidence" is the only reason for bullying someone. Stable, secure ppl don't have to resort to that option.

Although I have never been (severly) bullied, I can very well relate to your feelings. The only thing you need is a little thing called "empathy".
Reading some of the posts here, I'd say the authors could use some of that little thing. Think for yourselves: "How would I feel if I were treated that way?". Still no reaction?
Thankfully, I am pretty big and muscular, so most ppl won't harass me, even though my interrests are a bit on the "nerd" side.

From that article:
"Kids are more accepting of being learners. It's almost as if it's their job. But they are only willing to read a paragraph or so."
Does that mean a typical slashdot reader has preserved his inner child better than most people?
Why was the above marked as Troll?
Yup, that would make you somewhat a liberal, just like me. :-)

Well, you just named my no:1 reason to stay in the middle of the political spectra. Fear all people who claim to be ***-wing...
Leftwing = Let the government control and harass you.
Rightwing = let the corporations control and harass you.

That is why we all should have switched to BeOS. Now two nice OS'es are fucked.
Granted, BeOS wasn't that great as a server platform, but you always have freebsd, right?

"Did she really still need her vagina at 79 years old?"
I don't think you will need your penis when you are 79. If you want to, I can come over and burn it away? Agreed?
