At least when MS bought SoftImage, they continued to release the Linux and Irix versions. (Which we all thought was funny.. MS selling linux software).
When Apple bought Shake, they immediately canceled the windows version, and currently sell the OSX version for $499 and the Linux version for $4999. Seriously.. the Linux version costs 10 times as much as the OSX version.
Yes yes they made 7.96 billion in the quarter.. but after you remove the expenses (like, you know, paying your employees) they LOST money... as in it cost more than 7.96 billion to actually keep sprint running last quarter.
Let me put it this way, the test script, dowkd.pl has an 8 meg __DATA__ block that contains every key-signature possibly generated by this screwed up SSL.
The problem has been reduced to a matter of milliseconds.
The OpenSSL people actually put ifdefs around the code so you could disable it safely.
The debian people didn't use the ifdefs, instead they started commenting code out.. and not only did they comment out the part that was mostly harmless, but they also commented out all other entropy sources.
Not only that, but the majority of things companies sold do not have patent protection anyway.
I'd say the #1 selling otc drug has got to be aspirin. No patent protection on aspirin, anyone can make it. Doesn't prevent millions of people buying Bayer brand aspirin because they claim it works better than generic brand.
You mean the SDK that requires Apple's blessing to actually use?
The SDK just further demonstrated Apple's hostility toward developers. Sure the SDK is free, but to actually use it (the emulator won't run openGL, so its useless for game development) you have to A. get Apple's permission, B. pay for it.
Apple has already rejected 90% of the developers who applied.
Most of those are sports games that were retired not because EA wants you to upgrade (although they do), but because literally no one was playing online. They're not going to keep the servers up for 3 people.
When the next version of madden comes out, the current version's online pool disappears practically overnight.
The problem with that is if you really did license the software from them, they would have to replace your scratched disc for the price of making a duplicate.
About when Bioshock came out, I had just built a $5k gaming rig.
When Bioshock came out, my rig was several years old and I had only spent $300 on it. However, it still ran perfectly for me.. in fact it ran exactly how the developers intended.
That's because my rig is a 360. PC gaming is the biggest waste of money and resources imaginable.
And I not actually knowing how to hail a taxi yet decided to risk it.
I did the same thing. Except I knew how to hail a cab. So I hailed the first cab I saw.. then walked over and it said "Hold Y to enter cab as a passenger". I didn't read it completely and instead just hit Y instead of held it. Ended up carjacking the taxi on accident.
MADD has been successful in pushing state DUI laws to the point where the blood-alcohol limit is so low that it is now possible to test positive for DUI with only a single drink.
It's possible to test positive for DUI without having anything to drink.

Look at how MS helped mozilla... and they definitely have a competitor.
If it were really important, you wouldn't be here.

Apple did the same thing when they bought Logic.
You mean like when Microsoft worked directly with the samba folks?
neither does HTML4, but that doesn't prevent us from using it.
No.. seems I'm sick of the hypocritical and ignorant slamming that's prevalent here on slashdot.
Very few of the complaints about the format are technical in nature, and those that are can also be leveled at ODF.
Personally I don't even use an office suite... and any office files I receive get opened in google docs.
So why isn't this one of the biggest problems with ODF? ODF allows binary blobs.. it's right there in the standard.
That is incorrect. Those parameters are fully documented in the appendix. They're also deprecated, only to be used when converting an old doc.
Get some new FUD.

not only that, but how much does it cost *ME* to talk to hubble? What it's impossible? Then the entire comparison is retarded.

Guitar Hero came out in 2005. No one became a "REAL guitar hero!" in 3 years, jackass.
I'm assuming you're referring to That Guy

So use google docs, like I do.
No need to run bloatware when a damn web application is better than OpenOffice.

Maybe the RIAA could make the claim that it wasn't them that filed the papers, but a neighbor using their unsecured wifi?
