Anyone else remember fondly the first time they got a screen to scroll? The first time they were able to access the sound card? And, of course, the first game that didn't involve pure text...
Now it's just the same old thing...<sigh> I'm a bitter old man at 21.
Yeah, there was this car, and I was told to "make it go faster", so I hooked up some JATO packs to the back, climbed in and, well....things didn't go as planned
"Rich stealing from the rich?", how is that different than "poor stealing from the poor" - or, for that matter, "rich stealing from the tiny-3-man-operations" that have to go out of business because of frivolous patent lawsuits?
Hell, let Sklyarov off the hook for decryption and sue him for using the patented "ROT-13" in his code. Intel may have done it's fair share of patent abuses, but that doesn't make it right, nor should we ignore it.

Ouch - touche. I'd like to retract any support I may have implied for the BSA.
