...that people have been using about P2P software. Just because a product can be used for illegal activity, doesn't necessarily make it illegal. (BitTorrent, Baseball Bats, Kitchen Knives...)
FYI, Moutain Dew in Canada (in Ontario at least) contains no caffeine. IIRC it is illegal to caffeinate non-cola carbonated beverages up here in the frozen north.
buying a couple used Soyuz craft from Russia, and spending a few million to mod them up to NASA's specs? Russia needs the money, the U.S wants an alternative to the shuttle. Win, win? I'm sure it will never happen, but just a thought I had when reading this story.
The interface seems to be coming along very well, it looks nice. It also appears as though they are going to integrate the most common desktop applications into one panel (IM, address book, email, etc). It is, however, all ultimately irrelevant. User interface within Windows has been at acceptable to good levels since Windows 95. They aren't going to win any more of the desktop market by making it look fancier. Microsoft should instead be focusing completely on security, performance, interoperability, stability, and flexibility...
...isn't it kind of hard to determine how security, performance, interoperability, stability, and flexibility are going to be implemented by looking at a couple of screenshots?
Does anyone else find it strange that/. always seems so surprised/outraged/disenfranchised when the MPAA/RIAA etc. do something like this. Sure they might be the "big bad corporation of America Inc. who don't run Linux" but the truth is that they're losing money because a select number of individuals are stealing *their* intellectual property. Do you really expect them to sit there and do nothing? Welcome to the REAL world of business.

Homer: Ah, lamentably no. My gastronomic rapacity knows no satieties.
Wow, I expressed the same sentiment which got me modded offtopic
ask an MD, not /., that's what they are there for.
D'oh, that got modded as Flamebait? ... ahh well, my last attempt at humour.

You must be new here.
5 years; that's nothing. Duke Nukem Forever is approaching 8. That's older than some /. readers :)
It is time to liberate the people of the moon!
Only be greedy in retaliation to another's greed (tit for tat) -- can work well, but can lead to feuds of reciprocal retaliation between two parties.
Sorry you last me at tit for tat.
You want to buy used Russian hardware? Are you mad?
Why yes, I AM mad!

Too much AC's have always been a problem

That was ment to be a joke, but I guess it was a little too subtle.
