Investigators in civil cases have similar powers to the police. They can raid and seize if they believe evidence is likely to be destroyed. Destroying or refusing access to evidence is as much a crime in civil cases as it is in criminal cases.
Basically you're saying Enron did nothing wrong by shredding all those documents.
The RIAA are doing these lawsuits with terrible evidence to show that they are not "sufficiently protected" by civil law. This can only help them as they continue to lobby congress for new criminal copyright infringement laws.
Sigh. Suppose they were "leasing" the software without the box. Would that be distribution? I say it would.. as that's the way all software is distributed. So how does embedding the software in a box and then leasing the box make that any different?
You don't agree that someone writing "fictional works" about the bombing of government offices, for pleasure, is someone who deserves to be, at the very least, monitored? That isn't exactly a healthy behaviour. Come on man, use common fucking sense. I think we can tell the difference between a serious literary work and a nut job's fantasy literature.
Nah, consumers have already rationalised their purchase of Vista. Even XP-loyal geeks have downgraded their opinion to "I guess it has some features I'd like on XP" and are seriously considering upgrading.
OpenBSD is primarily used for firewalls. The purpose of a firewall is to do essentially nothing 'cept route and filter packets. As such, the cheapest least broken hardware is typically used. Some people (*cough* Steve Wozniak *cough*) even see embedded firewall devices that run OpenBSD. They run entirely off flash memory.
There's this other OS you might have heard of, it's called "Windows". Stupid name, I know. They distribute their patches as binaries. I also heard there's this other OS, it's something like "Tiger" or "Panther" or something and they do the same thing.
I know every fourth word out of Theo's mouth is a slight against Linux, but that doesn't mean everyone related to OpenBSD does this.
Wow, it must be a day for people who don't know the definition of slang terms. A Slashvertisement the term used to imply that some has paid Slashdot to run a story for them.
Seriously, if God's all powerful, let's see him come down here and stop us. None of this magical wind shit. None of this saint in a borrito shit. Get in your Jesus suit and come down here.

Why does it always have to get worse before it gets better?

I just mean they will claim they can't collect sufficient evidence without the resources of the police.

Guess what the law would say? Yes, you, do.
The latter case moreso than the first because I have it in writing that you distributed the software.
Sigh. Suppose they were "leasing" the software without the box. Would that be distribution? I say it would.. as that's the way all software is distributed. So how does embedding the software in a box and then leasing the box make that any different?
It's just a nonsense argument.
Does anyone sell software? Or do they just LICENSE it. Yeah, it's really not that complicated.
Sigh. A vague analogy does not a legal precedent make.
Think of it this way, if it had been Windows CE on that box, would you expect the company to be held to that license? Yeah, that's what I figured.
It's an interesting argument.. but that's all it is. There's no legal precedent for what you're suggesting.
Yep, that's why I said they were rationalizing.
You missed the parent comment.

He road up stream and cleaned up that town.. how can you not like a hero?
You can't rationally discuss God.. it's an irrational topic.
Yes, my point was simply that there are people out there who are willingly upgrading and some of them are even geeks.

Shit man, what have you got against Puff?
You, me, parking lot.
Yeah, the summary/article didn't say "Unlike other open source operating systems" ..
Wow, it must be a day for people who don't know the definition of slang terms. A Slashvertisement the term used to imply that some has paid Slashdot to run a story for them.
Seems pretty unlikely in this case doesn't it?
Nah, that's Gentoo.. 'specially if you run ReiserFS.
BLOB means something different to OpenBSD people.. as does "vulnerability".
God can go fuck himself and so can you.

Yeah, that's what I thought.
Your religion is all talk.
Some people consider it evil. Google's slogan of "Do No Evil" is kinda easy to live up to.. just redefine whatever you did as not evil after the fact.
