Should they have done this, they would have been sure at least one spyware was installed onto every machine.
That said, their spyware would probably have eatten less CPU due to the simplified spyware-counting algorithm, such as becoming eligible of being counted as only one half of a spyware.
But, wait! Now that we know the spyware itself is only half-spyware, the spyware-counting algorithm can be simplified, again.
[Let us run this loop about an infinite amount of time.]
Now, we get to the point that the spyware Earthlink installed does not count as a spyware anymore, due to some clever mathematical optimization.
So, yes, the number reported is the accurate number of spyware on the machine!
Now that Lindows changed its name, does that mean that the ruling forbidding them to sell their product to Benelux or Sweden still applies?
Furthermore, could the agreement french company Hermitage had with Microsoft possibly allows them reselling Linspire again now they renamed their flagship product? (Not that they would be especially be inclined to do so, given that they gave up when Microsoft was starting to threaten them.)
2.) Disallow accounts from being accessed by more than 10 ip addresses in a 24 hour period.
Which would disallow GMail users from accessing their mail from behind a proxy-farm (like, IIRC, AOL has).
Using users IP address for anything else than statistical purposes is insane. Should Google want to avoid behing used as a huge warez warehouse, they could limit the traffic per file/account in a given amount of time. Or maybe disallow downloading a given attachment more than once every a few minutes.
To this day, his stance is that the two things in life you don't pay for are porn and fire extinguishers*.
I imagine you stealing fire extinguishers from porn stores but the image doesn't fit really well. I'm probably missing something really interesting and I hope I'll survive the moral shock.
Oh, I see.
This is just the next version of the iBrator.

Quoting the article: None more so than Ronald Dale Harris, whose job as a software engineer for the state Gaming Control Board was to write slot machine anti-cheating software. Harris surreptitiously coded a hidden software switch--tripped by inserting coins in a predetermined sequence--that would trigger cash jackpots. After retooling more than 30 machines, Harris and accomplices made the rounds, walking away with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Harris was caught when one of his confederates implicated him after being busted in Atlantic City for rigging a Keno game. In 1998, Harris was sentenced to seven years. (Emphasis mine.)
No this is not. This is about the French and German governments censoring free speech, and about a company (ie, Google) fear legal issues in providing links to third-parties websites, which is even worse than censoring web content.
Ahmad said that while the source code had been removed, the original post remained in the Bugtraq archives. Whether to delete it or not is "still a decision that I have to make," Ahmad said.
Interestingly enough, I fail to see how SF could remove one post from Bugtraq, due to the many independent archives around the world. Or maybe is that just a first step before suing SF?

Well, now we know the seven last letters of Linspire are just there by accident and do not denote a particular skill of them.
How convenient when someone on the list wants to talk to you privately.
? Vaguely satisifying but in the end its all just a w_nk. (That's Aussie slang for masturbation for those of you who don't know).
Last time I checked, "_" wasn't a letter.
So... if I fail to attend online church, do I go to virtual hell when I die?
Spare the hassle of dying, virtual hell is available to those who are still alive as well.
you do lock up your valuables... right?)
Your analogy does not work. DRM locks you in. Keys lock you out.

Good Lord! The study is real!

Do not forget, about fifty percent of the population doesn't have balls neither.

I'd dredge up the /. article on it, but the /. search sucks.

I suggest the patent holder try to sell his Patent on eBay, this could be a great way to earn money. ;-)
