Instead of backing down, they should sue. I rarely suggest suits, but in this case i think its needed as it would protect consumers in the process if Sony won.
If they lose, then its all over and at least we know the rules.
Personally i believe your faith is misguided as while i do agree we will see a legal battle like never seen on the earth, we the little people will lose in the end.
you misunderstood the use of the term 'grand scheme'. It was not that OBSD had one, but the rest of the world has one, and wasn't sure if OBSD fits in there anymore.
It was relevant in the beginning but now, it doesn't seem like it so much.
Yeah, I'm not quite sure where they got that from, unless it's based on popular confusion with the Difference Engine, an earlier design that could not do general-purpose, programmable computation.
Right, few people know he designed 2 separate machines.

I say get rid of all corporate lobbyists in Washington. They don't belong there.
I disagree as anyone has a *right* to lobby the government, however there should be more stringent controls to protect us from this sort of fraud.

And Microsoft isn't?

Follow the money and you will have the answer of how the ruling will go, and if its time to pack up shop or not.
Might want to start hording source code, just in case. ( i have been doing it ever since the gif fiasco )

They might if you chose NetBSD instead.
I think..
Honestly is OBSD relevant any more in the grand scheme of things, mainly due to its 'director' and its limited scope?
Didnt know it was dead, but i do agree why do this when java works fine for this 'use case' ?
Android was ported to x86 a few versions ago.
Should just buy them to put them out of their misery and get what is left of them out of the game so they are no longer an irritant.
Those options ( for the average guy, which is most of the market ) are slowly being reduced too. I was including that in my statement.
No, i was assuming people want the content, not need.
Tell that to us ex-users of things like library.nu, as it WAS effective. It does scare of some, as they don't want the hassle/cost of this fight.
But the net result is that the next batch will be even harder to stop as people go back underground.
A big F-U to the entire system.
Not that it effects me directly, but lets not go down the path where we end up ' and no one was left to speak out for me;'
They'll take their business elsewhere.
And where might this be? Your options as a consumer are dwindling fast..
They wanted to change our way of life, for the worse, and they did. And have done it quite efficiently, with little ( relative ) resources.
Congrats.
Yikes, it should not take that long with today's manufacturing technology.

Foxconn supplies most every major tech firm on the planet with something. Apple just happens to be one of the larger ones.
Is legal, and don't tell me that none of you would use them to your advantage f you could. If you say you will, you are either lying or deluded.
The key is that they are LEGAL..
Ill pass on any more electronics in my car. I'm already protesting by going retro. ( think carb, manual steering, etc )
its already a complete cluster now anyway.
It made a lot of sense in the early days: org, net, gov, com but those days are long gone.
Stopping people on the public streets is a different topic to be discussed, and i do agree its in violation of the 4th amendment.
A privately owned bus terminal or sporting event, not so much. Schools? Depends on the school's funding sources.
While i disagree, even if you were right, someone has to write the hypervisors, which just happen to run on hardware.
