The two letter postal codes are actually kind of new. Newer, I think, then Microsoft. Mississippi's old code was "Miss".

They are just like the kuomintang. They should learn from history. They are going to be just as screwed, in the end the only place their software will run is on Taiwanese knockoffs.
Well, normally I would say that if they had an ugly website then they probably couldn't afford to fight Microsoft. But upon visitation of lindows.com I think it probably was 'professionally' designed (as in they paid a lot of money for it) but by someone who wouldn't know a good design aesthetic if... I don't know something.
Anyway, these windows people should change their name because its stupid if nothing else.
I'm just wondering if anyone else noticed this guy's username was 'gayrod'
Assuming you really are a very 'out-and-proud' homosexual lawyer, and not just some sort of troll trying to see how high he can get his post moderated and pointing to an unresolved DNS entry in user info with the word 'law' in it as your 'website'....
Then I'd have to say that while Microsoft may have a case, their trademark really shouldn't have been valid because it's obviously a pretty common word, even in computer science ('close that window'). I had always assumed that Microsoft's trademark was more along the lines of 'Microsoft windows' the way they do with "Microsoft Word", and "Microsoft Access"
He can't be Charged with a felony you fucking idiot. God, where do people come up with this shit? Possessing pirated copies of stuff is not a crime, only distributing them is.
God, why do people think that just because they can imagine something it's automatically true?
Moron. How many of the "Convicted felons" out there even know what a 'warez kiddie' is. It's not like these kids arn't going to be thrown in with the stock manipulators and stuff in min-sec prisons.
only O(10^3) computations can be performed before the system is decoherent
O(10^3)? Wtf? If you wanted to say "a thousand" you should have just said that. That way, people wouldn't have thought you a moron. O(1000) == O(1), btw.
The behavior of divide by zero is user defined on most computers. You can have the computer say whatever you want it to say. You've just got to mess with the interrupt vector table.
Btw, the limit of 1/x as x approaches zero is infinity. but 1/x isn't infinity. If it were you could do things like
So your whole argument is: "Linux is better because it's GPL'd!" And claim that the person you're replying to is basing their assumptions on marketing material and not on real-world practical experiance?
Is that like one of those slogans in 1984, you know that can be read backwards and forwards? that is, if Self improvement is masterbation, does masterbation improve the self?

There are a couple of monochrome wince pads out there.
The English language is solely defined by your personal predilection.

Is it inherently wrong for me to frame my product in terms of its benefits over another product?
Probably not. But if you replace "frame" with "name" and "inherently" with "legally" then I would probably say yes.

God, I just couldn't stop laughing. I must be pretty tired. And drunk and high on crack.
This post definitely deserves my +2 bonus, btw.
Sounds like a company that makes sextoys.

Slashdot is the most sensical place on the Internet.
According the very definition you linked:
1.a: A specified or indefinite number or amount.
Is infinity not an indefinite number?
There is a difference between 'getting in trouble' and 'committing a felony'
Why don't you look up the law and see for yourself. Show me where it says possession of copyrighted material is a felony
He can't be Charged with a felony you fucking idiot. God, where do people come up with this shit? Possessing pirated copies of stuff is not a crime, only distributing them is.

100 Yuan.
The slim devices thing uses ethernet. It dosn't need line of sight.
And I would absolutly buy a more expensive product rather then subsidize more pup-up garbage a and the SPAM that they're sending now.

How stupid.

That is, as long as you're not on a machine with a porn blocker...
Yeah, that's why you see so many big computers today that are really a bunch of 32 bit processors running in parallel. Cause it's so much cheaper.

Btw, the limit of 1/x as x approaches zero is infinity. but 1/x isn't infinity. If it were you could do things like
1/x = inf
2/x = inf
so 1 == 2
That's not the point of the space, its put there automaticaly by slash, to prevent the layout table from getting fucked up.
