In the odd, small, tiny chance that you're not some idiot with an agenda (the wwworld is fast filling up with posts like this), then your lawyers are the ones with an agenda and/or incompetence.
According to your incorrect interpretation, a vast majority of internaly held code that has been written the world over is illegal. Lets take one simple example, Google. Do you honestly think that all of Googles code is released into the open?
This post is mostly pointless. I seriously doubt you'll ever be back to this thread, AC. However, various web archives will be around for a long time, and for each example of FUD that's shoveled down the collective pipe needs a rational "WTF" post after it to point out just what it is.
Actually, you should do some citation of references about primate social organization, your statement is only another statement until it has some reference.
I've been poking around the apple site(s) and have yet to see it anywhere outside the US. Personally, I'm tempted to get two of them for my elder kids (5 kids == expensive schooling) but can't find local details for Australia.
I remember mention that Lomax was a possibility, but he's back here in Adelaide and I don't know what's the go these days (been out of the loop for waaay too long).
Anyone who modded this as a Troll doesn't deserve their friggin mod points.
I'm a Linux weenie, but the points above are very very true, and no manner of indepth analysis of the "rights" and "wrongs" of how things are done today will change the reality of what and how computers and their OSes function. We have reached a point where a computer is not a difficult device which requires a degree to operate. It is able to function as simply as a "device". I don't need to know "how" a microwave oven functions to be able to use it, and use it safely and easily.
And, this mentality is the vast VAST majority. Rattling the sabre about "you should *understand* the workings of your PC" rank up there with "you should *understand* how microwaves function" so I can use my oven. If I *wish* to learn, then I can - but nobody should be forced to do such, and this unrealistic expectation to do such will only continually to hamper the cause.
Every wondered why Ubuntu has rose to where it is today?
i wont echo the above (kittens and altering html templates to make a more unique code process - both well worth it) but i say that on one site i used to run, we allowed anyone with 1000 posts, all members of a screening club.. and every new user had to have their posts screened before being posted.. once an account got to 10 non-spam posts, their group changed to allow normal postings.
i do recommend you use your community to help your community.. and odds are, they'll help as well
... and asking for advice, even from Slashdot, is a bad thing?
Reading the threads here, looks like some good advice - even if it is from both camps. Ask Slash allows you to gather (and cull) opinions and expand your mindview. And as a side note, good to see a Ask Slash that was interesting, from the orig poster and from (most of) the poeple submitting comments.

I cannot agree more. I have both running on my second monitor on my desk, and usually comment with content on Slash (on the rare moment when I have an original idea or my specific opinion), but I throw quips into Digg.

You are going to find more systems with USB than with Internet. Plus the issue of retaining alot more control over your environment. It's one of those issues that will never be a clear cut "winner" or "loser".
Aye, I'm one of the many who has printed out the script that Gibson wrote and it's now in a nice handmade book on my shelves. I am utterly amazed that it wasn't picked up - my experience with film making is minimal, but the visions of the end production from that script still inspires me.
HICKS: I thought you were programmed to protect human life?
BISHOP (with android blandness): I'm taking the long view.
Is it just me, or would this be one of those lines that would have entered the hall of "best lines ever". I can just see it being delivered in that dead-pan quiet and logical manner from Bishop. Mechanical eyes passively in hope that the human understood what had to happen.
It was the moment when I realised I'm telling my Sim to clean the toilet that I realised that a) I'm impressed that they went to that level, and b) WTF am I doing playing this game?
It astounds me that people actually continue to play this game.
I just looked at my Task Manager, and 42,538k.. I have (counts) 15 tabs open, a handful of addons loaded like adblock, fasterfox, tabprefs.. using a custom theme.. four of the tabs have rather active flash animations, one of the pages is littered with them.

Sat down with my coffee, fired up my feed reader .. top story.
I don't have words, but I do feel a little colder.
Still, he has six months before I delete him from my contacts list. Hurry up mate, clocks ticking.
Would you like a little FUD with your whine?

It's (not) funny because it's true.
