CPUs are NEVER hand-made. The proccess from start to finish is 100% machine/robotics. There is no human interventation during this process execpt managing the machines, which is done a very highly filtered enviroment. And they get paid well over what most Americans make. I hardly call it a sweatshop.

I researched this, and it seems that you can be exempt of patent infrigment if you created the work "prior art" before the fileing of the patent. It also invaildates the patent completly if there was already "prior art". The point of patents have always been to encourage innovation.
If I name something Eerestica or something that is clearly non generic, and someone makes something that says "Designed for Eerestica" they are not breaking trademark laws. Trademarks are not property, even if you own one you don't have all elusive use on the word or logo is what the poster is trying to say. People can still use my trademark as they please, as long as it's not to confuse a product with my own. Thats the only right I get for my trademark. So the only question that can be asked is:
Will consumers confuse Lindows with Windows?
I do not think so. I'm sure the judge won't ether.
Athlon XP, "Designed for MS Windows", WinZip, WinAmp, are examples.
Trademark law does was not designed to prevent "piggybacking" as you call it, it was designed to keep stop confusion. "Piggybacking" is a capitalist ideal.
I actually made a MUD from scratch (It's called Hunt for Osama), and it is not as hard as people make it to be. It just requires devotion. If you let articles like that one get you down, your NEVER going be able to make anything. Just get a idea, print the idea clearly in your mind, and go for it. Build visual aids to explain the structure you want to make for it (I personally use flowcharts). You'll be suprised on what you can accomplish in a few months time.
Competition doesn't help at all with open source. Open source is somewhat a communist ideal (which don't get me wrong, not EVERYTHING communist is bad), while competition is a capitalist ideal. Perferably I would like to see one very good desktop enviroment, then two so-so desktop enviroment.
We had a big debate about this on a IRC channel. I think the conslusion we came up with would be that copyright holders in software should have copyright for 10 years, and then the software should be under the GPL. I think it would be best for all?
Currently with the copyright extension act, copyrights owned by groups or corperations last 75 years, and copyrights owned by a individual lasts 70 years after his/her death. Which is a extension of the previous 40 years for corperations, and copyright expiring right at the owner's death.
What do you think?
I thought Democrasy ment the people control the goverment, not money sucking corperations. I guess America isn't a realy democrasy, it's more of a Corpcrasy (look ma, I made up a new word).

Actually they make a great player. And you can add standard WMP codecs, which means you can play OGG/Flac and more!

Well technically, it's copyright infrigment.
The best computer is the one you build yourself.
Fuck you ass. How about us "evil Jews" bomb your home. I think /. won't mind.
You can't stop me.
The server is running faster then slashdot currently is.
I called it, but it gave me a busy signal. Gotta love /.'ers.
MOD this up!
A messy desk is a sign of no organisation. I keep my papers nice and stacked.
Good time to buy some Lucent stock again!

The Matrix = teh best movie Site slow = because all you freaks are trying to go to it at the same time, bandwidth = limited
Both Halflife and Quake 3 has cracks for that mechanism that effiectivly remove the client's need to authenticate.
It's getting to be a pain in the @$$ to have two different desktop enviroments with little competability for each other.
