About 20 years ago I remember reading an IEEE publication that talked about doing this very thing, and i dont think it was a prediction as it had pictures.
There has to be some evil person out there that hasnt sold out to the man... In my day, it was the challenge of doing someting that drove us, not the recognition.. ( be it money or peers )
If *nobody* knew back then, why was it proudly displayed as such on the old websites? Was everyone just too stupid to read? Or perhaps they were all blind?
And if no one knew back then, why do i remember it today? 10 years is not that long ago. If one cant remember that far back, there is a problem.
Or even better yet how about that thing on the side of your house that has the little shiny spinning disk.. Its not from mars, it tells you total energy useage for your place, both in real time and elapsed.. Its how you get billed each month. Its called a watt-meter, go figure.
what ever happened to exploits ( be it virus, trojan, whatever ) that cased some REAL damage?
All this whimy-ass 'botnet' garbage needs to end. We need something that totally kills windows when you get infected. Get the people pissed off enough to force microsoft into doing something.
No, most of the mips concept is purely out in the open. Only a small part of the 'named' mips instruction set is copyrighted, and you dont *need* those to function well.
There was also an early form of nt4 for mips, alpha and ( i think ) sparc. Not sure if it ever got sold as a product, but i had it in an msdn set ages ago.

If they dont know what it is, how can they say they dont want it?
Their 'vote' should be disqualified.
Beacuse you never know when the rules might change, and we want to look for transgressions you didnt even know you were going to someday regret.
Should be shut down.

Sorry, but too much risk. One thing about growing old is you leave that sort of risk taking to the new kids..
You can hear the cries of frustration now coming from washington ( and a few other governments in the world )

I thought i smelled smoke.
Buy a cheap amp meter and learn how to use it?

Since the story comments that the developers dont remember what it stood for since its 'so old' . Geeeh. Old is not a few years..
If you dont see the connection, which is obvious to anyone with even 1/2 a brain, you are an idiot and its not worth explaining it to you.
Have a nice day, drooling over yourself.
I think that part of the licensing requirements is that a manufacturer has to comply wth "regioning", among other things...
Remember the flap Apex got when they made it too easy to get around the mandated restrictions?
Now do you believe me when i called the WTO one of the most dangerous things on the planet?
How do you sell something like that? Isnt IT supposed to be reducing workload?
what garbage.. why bother?
Besides, did microsoft get a special license for this from *all* music content copyright holders? If not, is still illegal.
You are nuts wishing that upon all of us.
If the DOJ got directly involved you could expect midnight raids, seized homes, etc.. Criminal cases suck, espcially when you are falsely accused.

Mips is more of a concept then a trademark.
You are new here arent you.

Since you wont be able to buy MIPS chips around here anymore, and 125$ for a 2ghz risc computer is dammned nice. Sign me up for 3.
And no, im not kidding.
If it is similar to a 20 year old processor that pretty much implenents what is considerd standard RISC anyway, who cares?
Vast majority of auto traffic breaks speed laws. So we should sue ford?
I dont care if the Judge made a statement, its wrong to penalize a company beacuse their product CAN be used for illegal purposes.
Is easily broken once you have gained the upper hand.
There is no law against: " we changed our mind" ( + marketing spin )
