Can't the authors of MAME use the defense of "prior art" when they are sued by this company, and invalidate the trademark? Or does that just apply to patent law?
Yeah, that's just patent law. They can probably sue him for a fraudulent trademark application, though.
How's that so if they managed to force Lindows to change their name? Can you please enlighten me on this one?
They started suing Lindows in country after country, and Lindows decided they didn't want to have to fight the case in every single nation on earth and gave up. Lindows won their case in the United States.
Do you even know what the diffrence is between trademarks and "copywrite"? Bleh, who modded this up? Just because something sounds authoritative dosn't mean that is.
Trawling for email addresses isn't illegal at all, certanly not in the USA which actualy legalized spam with the CAN-SPAM act.
The domains I use for email arn't even up right now, and I'm using gmail these days anyway. I had been using 'throwaway' emails for everything, and then a spammer started jo-jobbing me. Meaning that they started using fake addresses @mydomain. So I was getting tons and tons of bounce messages. It was awful.
These spammers are horrible people, but they're not even close to stupid. They're obviously making money off of it, or they would have stopped doing it a long time ago.
This guy needs a PC running linux to make a cat feeder? Back in the day we did this kinda thing with a clock crystal and a couple of flippty-flops. And we had to walk to the electronics store in 4 feet of snow, up hill both ways!
Don't forget this is the re-merging of two peices of the same company, Ma Bell.
I'm sure SBC has just as much intrest in keeping those archives around.
I'm a liberal, but kos is such a shrill bitch it's ridiculous. This is a guy who's so blinded by partisanship that he thought Gray Davis would beat the recall election in california. His reporting of the Iraq war is so stilted it makes him seem like he's rejoicing in our every failure, because it hurts bush political as much as it hurts the Iraqis physically.
Kos will print any gay rumor about any republican wether or not that particular republican has an anti-gay agenda or not and claim it's an example of Conservative hypocrisy. apparently, if two conservatives disagree, they're both hypocrites. (conservatives do this with liberals all the time, and it's just as annoying).
And, if you complain about this on the site, you get banned.
All we need to prevent that is to have free, high quality porn site run by non spammers that everyone knows about.
If only someone would create such a thing.
The apple ii gs was released in '86. The fact that they manufactured it untill 93 dosn't mean anything. If they're not working on new versions of the hardware, it's dead.
You can take a 5.25" floppy drive, plug it into the flopy port on any PC mother board, shove a disk for a program that ran on DOS 1.0 on the 8086 and run it on a PC built today. That's far better then the apple ][
Because IBM called their first personal computer a "PC", and everything else has been compatible with it (or at least, compatable with earlier generations of PCs)
What would be the point of mesuring power per square inch, discouting height? Volume is probably the more intresting mesure here. Building a supercomputer out of Mini-ITX boards would probably be cheaper then mini-macs.

Wow, that's some stelar math, there.

Are your sure the PTO has the same policy for trademarks that they do with patents?

I heard once this guy got arrested for trying to buy a taco at taco bell with a $2 bill.
I have some insider information, which of course I can't share. *sigh*.

I'm a grad student studying AI. Your comment was just about the most rediculous thing I've read in a while.
And by rescue, I mean ass-rape.
All the spammers need to do is use zombie boxes as proxies

Apple was loosing, like, 700 million dollars a quarter before jobs retook the helm.

That's a really good way to fuck up your hard drives...

PC pirates don't trade serial numbers, they trade ISOs.
If the average Ferrari cost $30k, and they still sold the same number, then yes, they would be a failure.
No display? No one is going to want that. Lots of cheaper devices have displays, so why get a shuffle?
What would be the point of mesuring power per square inch, discouting height? Volume is probably the more intresting mesure here. Building a supercomputer out of Mini-ITX boards would probably be cheaper then mini-macs.
What the fuck are you talking about?
You should be able to do this already, without any aditional software.
