CentOS does the same thing with the whole of Red Hat. They just strip out the RH trademarks. Should they be allowed to call it Red Hat? No. Does removing the trademarks restrict their freedoms in any way? Also no.
Since a thief is really "one who steals," (Webster) your whole argument is moot. He didn't charge the people with "theft" in a courtroom; he called them thieves. Get over it. It's perfectly sensible in that situation.
Oh, and "piracy" includes copyright infringement, not just boats. a couple hundred years of English says so.
I have a real question. If the clause is "by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries," how can we extend copyright beyond death? The rights are no longer with the authors and inventors. How can we assign these rights to corporations? They are neither the authors nor the inventors.
My point wasn't exactly that responsible disclosure is evil (though I do fall on the full disclosure side of the fence): it was simple that you can't compare apples to oranges, whether that's the number of vulns or the time to patch. Things aren't reported the same way so they can't be compared.
I am disgusted by Microsoft's philosophy of waiting to the last minute. The link I included in my first post shows them sitting on their asses for two years, then complaining that the security researcher finally disclosed. Responsible disclosure means waiting some agreed-upon time, not sitting on your hands waiting for the vendor to do something. RD is acceptable in many situations, but not the way MS defines it.
Except that the director of ODF has publicly stated that MS implements ODF completely differently than any other vendor's implementation, making an MS Office ODF file useless on anything but MS Office. Surprised? I'm not. They use the same strategy with virtually everything.
Because not selecting him during the primary would have been admitting that the Republican Party had made a huge mistake, which is something they can't do without sacrificing the election completely.
I think this shows a great weakness of two-party politics. It's always "us vs. them" and people make choices they wouldn't otherwise, choosing the best of the awful. Having multiple parties with varying platforms that can ally with each other on similar issues offers a much better situation for individual voters.
It's too bad that the two-party system is pretty much codified into U.S. law. On the other hand, it's a lot easier for voters to choose when they don't really have to know anything about the candidates or the issues.

No. NIST does not endorse the use of any particular product or system. NIST is not mandating the use of the Windows XP or Vista operating systems, nor is NIST establishing conditions or prerequisites for Federal agency procurement or deployment of any system. NIST is not precluding any Federal agency from procuring or deploying other computer hardware or software for which NIST has not developed a publication, security configuration checklist, or virtual testing environment. Although the FDCC currently applies to Windows XP and Vista, security guidance is available for other platforms. The OMB and GSA updated the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) on February 28, 2008, Part 39 now reads as follows:
Currently, FDCC settings are intended for Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack (SP) 2 or SP 3 and Microsoft Windows Vista Business, Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise, and Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate with SP 1. ...
The Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) is an OMB-mandated security configuration.
So... to be in compliance, you can only run Windows desktops, is that correct? Wow! Way to feed the MS machine.
Maybe it'll finally open the government's eyes to protecting their networks. They are generally in really bad shape. There are some exceptional sysadmins out there, but they are often hogtied by anti-security regulations and expectations.
The Kanji characters are generally simpler than the Chinese ones, and the Chinese have many more to learn so it's undoubtably harder to learn Chinese. The simplified form helped drastically improve literacy in China, too, and that's a matter of history... no matter what your opinion is. The number of Kanji commonly used by Japanese (1945) isn't dissimilar to the number of Hanja commonly used by Koreans (1800), so to ignore Hanja while simultaneously offhandedly insulting an elegant and simple alphabetic solution to a difficult phonemic problem is just ignorant.
I don't even enjoy living in Korea, and here I am defending it.... You've ruined my day.;)
Did you read the link? I guess not. MS chose to take an entirely different tact on the implementation than every other current imlementation, making MS's version completely incompatible with anyone else's. If you disagree with this assessment, talk to ODF Alliance Managing Director Marino Marcich because he's the one who said it, and I suspect he knows more about ODF than your average AC on Slashdot.

Whoosh!
Agreed. The desktop needs to be rethought, and not in a "Gnome Panel 3.0" way. Can I subscribe to your newsletter?

You need to relearn the difference between full disclosure and responsible disclosure, know that MS doesn't even follow RD guidelines, then go and rewrite your post. You can't compare numbers of vulns when one of the projects doesn't disclose them.
"They may delay publication in a responsible disclosure ...." Yes. They delay it until a patch is available or a vulnerability is in the wild.

Oh, the irony of your post, when considered as a whole, is truly shocking.

Now I know who to blame for the demise of the public domain. It's all her fault! Get her! I've got my pitchfork. j/k

Nevermind. My first post was inaccurate.
From the FAQ
What operating systems have FDCC settings?
Currently, FDCC settings are intended for Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack (SP) 2 or SP 3 and Microsoft Windows Vista Business, Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise, and Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate with SP 1.
...
The Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) is an OMB-mandated security configuration.

Lynx to the rescue! Lynx should be the only browser allowed on secure networks. Hehe.
Maybe this isn't such a bad thing after all.

Ummm, do you realize that Counter Strike was originally a mod for Half-life?
