I really don't see what makes the GPL any different from any other EULA. Perhaps you could explain the difference to me. They are both licenses that affect how you can distibute and / or use a piece of software. I am not trolling, I would really like to know the difference, if there is one.

Definition: I have no clue about what I am going to spout off about, but I am going to anyway
With that out of the way, here I go spouting. It seems to me if they invalidate just one clause of the EULA on the basis of deceptive trade practices, it seems to me that it implies the EULA itself is fine. I would think that if they were going to invalidate the entire EULA they'd do it on the basis of it being an unenforceable contract or something along those lines. I have a sneaking suspicion this case has the effect of actually validating click-thru licenses, they just have to be as fair as any other contract. Once again IANAL so I am probably completely wrong.
That is elitist, and nuts. Remind me if I ever write a book to put a EULA in claiming that the book can't be reviewed by critics because I don't want people who don't have familiarity with the subject material to review it.
If reviewers were forced to only review products / services / etc with which they had familiarity why Tom's Hardware would be out of business in a week...Hmm maybe that's not such a bad idea after all...
Screw physics, I don't care if it makes sense its still really odd. To paraphrase Calvin (of Calvin & Hobbes): There's no way T-rex was a scavenger because that just wouldn't be cool.
Well you see it all has to do with the latency of the ATA controller. Basiclaly in a Parrallel situation you have dual DACs vying for data flow control. It works, but it is incredibly slow. In the case of Serial ATA you have a single, very fat pipe, you should realize I am trolling, that lets a lot of data through very quickly. This unfortunatly cause some issues with file-locking under slower implentations, thankfully SATA controllers and HDD are now fast enough to overcome these issues. As always YMMV.

I think the good karma bonus is user-definable now in your preferences, and i think the default is zero. You notice how the check box has changed to No Karma Bonus as opposed to no +1 bonus.
Only reason I see for Java applets is to take some load of the server if you are using very heavy calculations, but in this kind of applications the algorithm must be kept secret, so the calculation HAVE to be done server side.
Then you definitly shouldn't be using JavaScript if you are worried about the client seeing the alogirithm. You do realize that JavaScript is interpreted by the client's browser and that all the code is out in the open right?

The question is, will RPN save the day? I think so.
Cisco Systems Inc. is providing technology for the onboard 802.11b based network, which offers wireless connectivity throughout all cabins, in addition to wireline connectivity via an Ethernet connector in the passenger seats, according to a company statement.
ah yes, the man with the missle homing beacon will be sure to turn it off as soon as he is informed over the PA to turn off all electronic devices. Thats a perfectly good reason to have that announcement.
I really don't know why you feel the need to insult me. Especially since you seem to consider postting bonuses so important. All I said was that I thought tetris was fairly well-defined in its gameplay and how it worked. But I am wasting my time by even typing this.
Wow, that is amazing. Ladies and Gentlemen, Toby Wong just attempted to relate my intelligence to my Karma. Wow. If it'll make you think I am smarter, here I'll post at 2.

Well there is an upside to making shrink-wrap licenses valid. It makes the GPL, BSD, etc. stronger.

has to be the most rediculous theory I have EVER heard. Extra downforce for running uphill??
Now that, was a good interview.
