They'd be forced to liquidate the company and split the proceeds equally with all the employees that got screwed over.
I don't think the employees would want that...it would come to something like -1*10^4 dollars per employee.
I think they should split the company up and take the resulting debt out of the personal assets of the company officers, and then put those offices in jail.
While they're at it, they should jail the execs at fax.com too for operating illegally just so they can stretch their paychecks out as far as possible and then declare bankruptcy and walk.
After filing for bankruptcy, the company admitted finding another $3.8 billion in accounting errors....
So that's where that other 3.8 billion went! And I thought for sure it got lost when they moved last time. It's nice to see that turn up; I was going to call the moving company and complain....
This is why I don't give PayPal my banking details no matter how much they try to bluff them out of me.
Schwab has deposit-only account/routing numbers for all their accounts (they're the ones given out for direct deposit, currently under Account -> Transfers & Payments -> Direct Deposit). If money is attempted to be removed using the same numbers, an "account not found" error is given (saving the fees from both ends associated with the "account overdrawn" error). This works with PayPal, because they verify your account by depositing small amounts of money into it (which will work).
Granted, you have to have quite a bit of dough for it to make sense to use Schwab for checking, but it would be interesting to know if any other banks provide this kind of service. Of course, it would be more useful if one could pressure all banks to provide this. Then again, I guess the ultimate solution would be to have the same consumer protections that apply to credit cards also apply to one's account/routing numbers.

How about the following: $ wget http://MIRROR.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/PROJECT/ SOFTWARE-VERSION.ARCH.rpm \ > && su -c 'rpm -Uhv SOFTWARE-VERSION.ARCH.rpm'
Or alternatively: $ wget http://MIRROR.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/PROJECT/ SOFTWARE-VERSION.tar.bz \ > && tar xjf SOFTWARE-VERSION.tar.bz2 \ > && cd SOFTWARE-VERSION \ > &&./configure... \ > && make \ > && make check \ > && su -c 'make install' ;-)
There is a defference in the physical media, which is what the poster was referring to. A CD-R copy of a CD may be identical bit for bit, but the actual disc in not the same.
There's also a difference in the license. CD-Rs require different up-front patent royalties.
No phone company would provide details on where people could be affected.
They should have said: the only customers who will be affected are those who call wireless phones from their land lines. If you don't call a wireless phone from your home phone, you have nothing to worry about. You can always tell a wireless phone number from a land phone number because the former has 7 or 10 digits (depending on the inclusion of the area code), wherease a wireless number has 7 or 10 digits (depending on the inclusion of the area code).
I know this will probably never happen, but what would be the upsides/benefits to a universal number- ie a number that goes to your cell and your home phone and maybe even your work phone.
No longer would you have to worry about all the telemarketing calls you might have missed while at work during the day!
Assembled, it came to something like 35 bytes. In C++, it took over 10K.
Obviously you weren't using the ELF format then:
There is no getting around the fact that the 45th byte in the file, which specifies the number of entries in the program header table, needs to be non-zero, needs to be present, and needs to be in the 45th position from the start of the ELF header.
I don't know how true this will be, but it's certainly on par with previous picturebook models (the MSRP of which ranges between $2,100 to $2,400 which translates to about $1,800 on the street).
Now if you told me it had a micro-thin DVD player in it, I'd own one tomorrow, but it doesn't.
It's better to continue reverse engineering things the legal way until the documents are made public.
So why not fight fire with fire? Microsoft has been perjuring itself under oath and illegally maintaining its illegal monopoly (yes both the act and the monopoly are illegal) for quite some time. Hell, who wouldn't be willing read and memorize their protocol specifications and swear under oath that they were reverse engineered, even if it was against Microsoft's (IMO illegal) license agreement.
Am I, as the owner of the computer, going to have final say in what can and what can't run on my computer?
How about: I'm a freelance developer, and I use Cygwin to do most of my development. I have invested over ten years in learning these tools, and as a result, I am incredibly efficient with them. For those of you who don't know, Cygwin is an OpenSource extension to Windows that runs common UNIX programs like Emacs & GCC. Will I be able to run Cygwin in a Palladium environment, or will I be forced to run only Microsoft-approved development tools with corresponding EULAs?

Of course, if you really wanted to, you could always do:
$ apt-get upgrade PACKAGE
Or:
$ rpmfind --upgrade PACKAGE

I wrote a short rant about it in June
I couldn't have said it better myself. If I had mod points, I'd use them all here.

If everything about this really is kosher, though, then everybody give a great big "Thank You!" to MS!
Let's see, if I remember correctly from high school logic...
A: everything about this really is kosher
B: everbody give a great big "Thank You!" to MS!
Given: A is FALSE
A -> B val
F -> T T
F -> F F
So as long as we thank them anyway, we still have a true statement. It's our only course of action, so here goes:
"Thank you sir, may I have another?"
You could even take it further by integrating it into other services like .Net
Aparently, one can improve anything by integration with ".Net": phone service, single sign-on, crab juice....

It brings new life to tired, old, porn?
On my Heads-Up Display?!
I'm confused. Is this a troll or not?
No. Trolls are completely different creatures from hobbits and elves.
Frodo Baggins, the smallest elf, was just executed!
Unfortunately, the article was incorrect then. Frodo is a hobbit. Furthermore, he is far from the smallest hobbit.
However, he was executed. By two elves. By way of trampling.
Does that mean we can assume that ELF binaries run on Hobbits?
(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Maybe ELF is just too inefficient.
every single byte in this executable file can be accounted for and justified
The author's sanity, however, cannot.

Huh...I guess this is proof positive that masturbation doesn't cause blindness....
ooooh! Castigated!! That's bad, right?
Among other things, castigate means to chastise by blows. I don't think this is what "Ball"mer had in mind, but you never know...
Looks like they've sucessfully breed a palmpilot/laptop hybrid.
Until they breed the price, I'm going to have to hesitate in calling it a success.
It looks cool, though.
Price: $1700.00

One disc convinced me to get a full-blown player ($150-$200 -- I got the Toshiba SD4700).

Are you sure you don't work for Toshiba?
I might just reboot into linux when I get home...
What do you mean reboot?
