This sounds great, but only if it requires human intervention to implement the block. I used to work in a NOC, and we would have loved to throw up a warning on the big screens that an attack is 80% likely from the following netblocks in the next N hours. That way we would have a strategy developed for defending before it even started and would be able to minimize downtime.
On the other hand, if you make this automatic you're going to piss off a lot of people very quickly because it's going to be wrong more often than you want.
How is that the same? The small label wouldn't be "patent trolling" since they would have a legitimate claim. They also wouldn't be displaying a let's see what we can get away with attitude. The judge made the kind of impartial corrective action they are supposed to make. If anything, this sets precedent for less frivolous lawsuits.
It's obviously just a scheme by the electronics industry to sell more devices, since you can carry more batteries so long as they are installed.
I have to admit that while this is stupid, it's really not as bad as the TSA restrictions that actually make flying a complete nightmare. I don't think you need to get too upset over this one. I'd take weird lithium battery restrictions over draconian liquid restrictions any day. TSA is probably going to make me pee before I get on my next flight because I am transporting more than 3oz. of liquid and in the wrong kind of container.
I already know some people using the Amazon data cloud technology and I suspect that will increase. I'm a bit leery of putting my data in the hands of Amazon, who have essentially stated before that they will never delete anything they know about you. Probably doesn't exactly apply to this service, or does it?
It's funny you should mention this because Windows XP suffers from the exact same bug. Whenever I install XP onto a box to dual boot it makes the Linux partition unbootable (if it can get that far).
But whether Google's API works or not is simply an annoyance. The bridge can kill people (or try to teach them to fly, depending on how you look at it).
You need to save that analogy for the air-traffic control and space shuttle software. Which, by the way, is not released in beta form.
And I wonder who will play Record Keeper with all of these DCOs. Kernel development is currently very distributed, but this calls for a single entity who can track the DCOs and be sure that they will never disappear.
While I mostly agree with you, there is still a problem. Just making a better product doesn't solve the problem if there is no one even considering a switch to your product. While I think that it is mostly in vain, there is still some value to playing catch-up because you can pick up some more users who are caught in MSs wake.
With more users and more developers and more attention you will be able to convince R&D departments to spend more money on creating this better product for Linux.
Nearly every person who has defended offshoring has said that the practice is good for the economy. And yet, that doesn't necessarily translate into a job for you and me. Since it's mostly big coroporations that are benefiting from this, should be be so ready to embrace offshoring as a boon for our economy?

Don't forget that there are plenty of ISPs at fault too. They neglect to implement egress and ingress filtering to sanitize the traffic that flows through their network. Easy example: CPE routers should not allow traffic inbound (outbound from customer) that does not belong to the customer's range of IPs.
I thought that people have been saying that open relays (which, effectively a machine with a RAT on it is) were not to blame for spam these days.
So, if you're paying for IP addresses then that's probably not entirely accurate. Unless you're just trying to bring the advertisement directly to the person's screen. I'd believe that.

Radiolab recorded a good show that featured this work more than a year ago. Check it out:

Maybe because Adobe doesn't release the source code? Didn't the article say it runs a MIPS processor? You're at the mercy of Adobe.
Actually it seems that they think the UK consumers are stupid, given the price hike they are imposing.

No misdirected woo, which is pretty much any John Woo film.

Can I deduct for the charity programming I did last year?
How much would I take off? Does SLOCcount count?

So, I typed in slashdot.org but somehow I ended up on freshmeat.net. wtf?
