How about doing nothing. Let the legal letters come. Let them knock on your door. Skip the court date. When the police come, let them arrest you. Then sue because the company had put you through all that crap for using text and images on a website. Hell, maybe it's different for businesses, but I'd just do nothing. I'd be silent and dead weight. Or better yet....
Call their e-mails to you (and I'm assuming they e-mailed you commentary?) unsolicited. Sue with the spam laws.

If a link "error 500"'s in the woods, with nobody around, does anybody hear the sys admin scream?
the oppression and violence that America and Israel are perpetrating in your name and with your dollars.
Frankly, until I see hard evidence that America is killing random civilians, I have only one a couple things to say:
I believe that if a nation wants to support another for its oil, or what-not, then so be it. We're supporting Israel for reasons America belives are right. We virtually made Israel. And if the terrorists cant take the fact that we're helping Israel for good reason, one can only assume they're jealous. Israel is still fighting, much like Ireland/N.Ireland is still fighting. And for much similar reasons. Israel wont be let go, and they will fight for it. With America by their side. I dont want to see innocent people die, but the terrorists will bring it apon themselves, just like the countries that provide aslyum to them. If they are responsible, then they will be punished. If you take a few steps back and look at the virtual chess match, you'll see America defending Israel, the UN providing relief to virtually everybody (with the US as part of the UN..), and people fighting Israel. If Israel wants to break off and be in its own "holy land", or for whatever reasons, then so be it. The terrorists committed an act that says "We're sick of you fighting for Israel, here.. take THIS". Which, is an act of war. We were mearly pushing Israel along, for their and our benefit. That is, after all the only reason anybody does anything in this world, for their benefit anyway. Now, the terrorists and the nation that harbors them will feel the full force of the American military with NATO support.
There can be infighting between middle-eastern countries just fine. And I'm sure Palestein (spelling, forgive me) is just as guilty as they're making Israel/USA out to be as well. It's not a 1 sided war. The terrorists and countries attacking Israel should just realize that they cant win, and will only prolong their own death by provoking us with acts like last Tuesday. It's sick, and many many more innocent people will die. Maybe they should have thought about that. And I am certain our retaliation will be swift, and most likely result in a counter retaliation by somebody. Thats what we call "war". I frankly think the Terrorists are "childish" for lack of a better word, and are fighting for issues that are meak and "childish" as well. Like I said, this isnt a 90% American/Israel vs 10% Other battle.... Every side is just as guilty. And by saying "Maybe the Americans will realize...." is complete bull-shit.
Now can they NOT enter the no fly zone. If its hijacked, do you think they'll care enough to listen to the FAA on the radio?:) There's no way to enforce that.
Then I was ignoring her, or somewhere else. And, since she didnt know where I was if I didnt IM her my location....:) It was just a pain. Quite funny really. College kids. Katz has a point.
"I IM for a lunch date, to get pizza, to walk to class, to check on my friends and assignments,"
I once dated a girl that did this extensivly. It was a huge annoyance, of sorts. I'd have to go to "afk" status, or just plain ignore her (which virtually guaranteed me trouble later..) when I wanted 3 minutes to myself.::sigh::
Such harsh, words from somebody with a nick like "The ultimate badass". How old are you? Have you read the books to form your own opinion? You say it is widely considered... but what do YOU consider it. And one can only gather their opinion after reading the book(s). I could spew on my soap-box for days as to why the books are great, but I dont expect people to take that for granted without reading the books themselves. I suggest you open one up and start reading. Its called imagination.
I cant wait for AOL to sue Micros~1 for saying "You've got mail". They'll probably go with something like "You have a new e-mail message, but you havent properly verified your key for your installation of WindowsXP. We are notifying the proper authorities. Please call us at 1-900-444-3321."
Why should NASA's scientists get any more recognition than other scientists. There is nothing intrinsically valuable about space.
Its the fact that we simply dont know. The people that sail across the Atlantic every year are sailing on a mass that we -know- a lot about. Certinly not everything, but enough. Its the media that is making us 'forget' about space travel. Just like the people who only complain when something goes wrong, the media will only make us glued to our sets when something goes wrong, or something new happens. The difference between the Atlantic and space is that we simply dont know about space. Everything is pretty much different from the last time we did it.
Sure. They should take further action. My point being, that they wont get anywhere with it. The only thing that will crack, is KDE under the pressure. Its a feeble attempt at trying to prove that people will be confused and use Kill.. over Adobe.
Case in point: If Adobe couldnt care about dev'ing for the Linux platform, then they shouldnt mind the use of Killustrator.
But getting back on topic, maybe people should consider copyright infringement issues before they name their software. Being contrarian for it's own sake is silly.
The issue here is moot. Its a common name. A simple word. I could name a product "paint" and I can only assume Micros~1 will rebuttle with something. "paint" as well as "illustrate" is in the dictionary. They are words that do not point to a specific product. We more often consider them 'verbs'. Paint, illustrate, etc. If they called the product Kadobeillustrator, that would a different story, as Adobe is copywritten.
Period. There really is no weight to Adobe's argument. They can pull the "its a recognized name, so they used it..." card, but K can easily pull the "its a word... we could have called it Kstreet-light for gods' sake..". Frankly, I think its a childish attempt at press, money, and a last ditch effort because they know they should be on the Linux platform.
I'm going to write something called KMacro-windows-media player. That way, I kill 2 birds with one stone. And after all.. even negative press is good press.:)
Hey, the big 4 he was mentioning happen to have a LOT of hardware out there. Wether or not they suck, is moot. If they're out there, and out there THAT much, they've gotta have the sppt, their Service Lvl Agreement customers deserve.
Cisco tech support has done -nothing- but be the best, most understanding (especially in network down situation) and knowledgable support I have ever come across. You owe those guys a beer.

Actually, they are. They posted this slashdot article. Boom. "Online community" or someshit.

Get this... some people get the headlines e-mailed to them daily. THATS running out of control, at least for this article. Ironic.

I mean, isnt a Ford just a F**ked Over Rebuild Dodge anyway. Thats kind of an infringement? :)
... until they see a true demand..
And maybe this is what they see as true demand... and the action they took, the rebuttle to said demand. I dunno, just my $.02

See, the thing is. Who knows if UGO even has the money for the last two payments. Going on past history, they're just stalling the lawsuits.
