That's what I believed when I first about Y2K... and then I learnt that as far as 3 years ago a significant number of credit card terminals started crashing when presented with a card expiring in 00... duh! They were brand new...
They just said they won't 'press' the suit, whatever it means.
Until supplies last ...

If eToys indeed withdraw its complaint against etoy, I'll shut my protest site down. I won't until it's duly confirmed. So go visit it while supply last!
I understand that there are agreements on such issues between countries, however, I can imagine that they must include provisions for fairness of trials. And how can it be fair when the suing party files the suit in California, for example, and the defending party is in Austria? Besides, in criminal cases, I know that most countries won't extrade (sp?) the convict if he's a national.
It's odd you should comment thusly, as I had exactly this in mind when I wrote "the boston globe titled". I've worked for newspapers, and actually used to manage a student magazine, so I'm aware of the editorial process... I was actually responsible myself for that kind of eye catching bullshit.
If you read the information provided on BlackLight Power's website you'd see that the tests were carried out for validation at several other sites. It looks like the larger scale "water-bath" calorimetry tests weren't all that succesful.
s/the tests were carried out/they claim that the test were carried out/
eToys bought the trademark from Etna Toys, which had filed for it in 1990. HOWEVER the trademark office had originally DENIED etoys the transfer, for reasons nobody know. They then applied for the trademark later, in 1999 i think.
Amazon is sueing B&N, the largest company of its type in the US; it's not like they're going after the little guy.
B&N has plenty of means to defend themselves... trust them on this one.
There are much more important things WRT corporate bullying... namely, eToys vs. etoy.com.
And yeah, this kind of patent is a joke.

How does the fact that there are laws of physics and thermodynamics makes any difference WRT whether it has a meaning or not? Anyhow, 'law of physics' and 'thermodynamics' are human things. They are meanings we put on this universe.
My point is'nt actually that you'd need another prime cause for 'their' 'God'. My point is that, if they can so easily get rid of their first cause for 'their' 'God', well I don't need a first cause for 'my' 'Universe'. The first cause requirement is a logical fallacy.
You're putting words in my mouth. I claim that 'religions' don't have a good enough track record to be able to point the 'good' when THEY, as religions, have done so much bad.

We have a working exploit against Linux and OpenBSD, we are waiting for CERT to publish their advisory. As soon as that happens, or before if its taking too long, we'll publish the exploit. Since the problem is not being actively exploited (as far as we know), there didnt seem to be a reason to post the exploit code with our advisory.
The evil comes when religious types want to interfere with freedom of speech and knowledge. RELIGIONS DON'T HAVE A GOOD ENOUGH TRACK RECORD IN THIS RESPECT. For as long as we know, religion has been the main source and/or accomplices for commiting the worst crimes.
That's still true now, take the assaults on abortion doctors.
And neither does religion. If you have such a problem with the universe existing by itself without a supreme will (AKA 'God') creating it, then, personally, I have a probleme with a supreme will existing by itself, therefore it has to have been created by something else, probably a metagod, which would need in turn a metametagod etc...
This is one of the main fallacy of religion: the need for a first cause.
Well I'm far from being an authority, that's just what I implicitly understood as a member of my family works in the field -- translating patents actually. But I might be wrong. Just out of curiosity, how do you know about this?

Are you aware of the fact that the person who wrote the article in the Globe is also the person you're responding to on slashdot?

- What if the whole thin is legal in Norway?
- How can a copyright/patent infringement lawsuit issued in the USA can be enforced on a European defendent?
Thanks.The boston globe titled its story as "Web sites sued for DVD piracy" -- AFAIK, there is no DVD piracy involved. Their article is fair, though.
No, the problem is that Netscape up to 1.0 used to crash on nested tables.

When writing 'god' you imply 'will' or 'meaning'. There need not be such thing.
