If it will be truly Windows-only (and remain so at Logitech's discretion), then Logitech needs to go to hell, because there is simply no excuse for non-portable applications now-a-days especially considering the revenue potential of this pen.
Maybe they feel the cost of added testing to ensure it works well on all platforms wasn't worth it to them? Perhaps they know that the open-source community will take care of that themselves?
Yep... how dare they do something guaranteed by the 2nd ammendment. (BTW, you can't say they are infringing on 1st amendment rights since they aren't the government.)
i never installed drivers on my Mac - it just worked out of the box.
So did my PC. However, I don't think either of us can expect to buy the latest and greatest whatchamacallit and expect either machine to recognize it without that little magical CD that comes with said item and contains the bits the computers need to figure out how the whatzit works.
But you're assuming that the company who made the step ladder put the rungs in properly. What if he can't reach the shelf because of a defective step ladder and not a fault of the "evil" company who put the stuff on the tall shelf to begin with?
Yet another bullshit opinion about why is is ok to use their resources. Keep saying it to yourself. Honestly, if you all felt it was fine, you wouldn't feel the need to make up these analogies to try to compare it to something acceptable.
I notice you didn't answer my question asking for a justifiable reason to be on their network without their knowledge.
But *YOU* still have to tell *YOUR* laptop/whatever to search for the open WAPs, right? How is that different from you going door-to-door checking to see if the doors are locked?
The lengths Slashdotters go to justify things like this piss me off. Why is it you feel justified using another company's network? Too cheap to get your own access? What business is it of yours to snoop around their resources?
Give me one justifiable reason to use someone's network without their knowledge.
So... you knew what you were doing could get you thrown in the klink. Why did you do it? To make a statement?
You do know the proper way to catch the eye of lawmakers in order to change a law is to gather a large enough portion of the population who supports changing the law instead of breaking said law in an effort to "stick it to the man", right?
1. It's a news site. They're ALLOWED to use pictures. It's called fair use rights.
And, MIT, an educational institution isn't allow to use said picture in a presentation? They certainly weren't selling the presentation.
2. Like said previously, it wasn't used to gain money.
Really? Then/. gives away that banner space on top for free? Subscriptions to the site are free as well? Wow... didn't know that.
3. The face makes it obvious that this is an anime post, for anime fans. We all KNOW it's Sasami from Tenchi Muyo. The US military doesn't read comics too often. It's not like Slashdot is being sneaky about it.
And since when does the "sneakiness" matter in a court case?
4. For CRYIN' OUT LOUD, look at the pictures on Slashdot. Half of them are Windows icons, some of them are pictures of Einstein. They're small icons so you can figure out the theme of the story. If it came down to it, yes, they could hire an art department, but JEBUS, chill man (I say this as I lash out louder than the original poster).
Yes... I see the amount of infringment is what matters. MIT stole a small bit from the comic and therefore must pay. Whereas the wholesale infringment here on Slashdot makes it okie-dokie.
Ok.. just a few posts ago, there was a big uproar over MIT using some cobbled-together image from the Raditz comic. However, right here we have this little anime icon which I'm betting comes freom a source other than the editor's own drawing talents used on the very site that decried that such use in the MIT story.
Sounds like you're insecure in your lack of tv watching. *I* wasn't the person who felt the need to start a just to inform everyone: "Look at me!!! I don't watch TV like a lot of you do!! I'M DIFFERENT!!! Pay me the due I feel I deserve for thinking I'm unique."
I personally find the fact that you judge people based on what they want to do with their spare time to be disgusting as well. Cockbag.
If it doesn't render right with the default font (or any reasonable font selected by the user), it's broken.
How's that? Funny how Slashbots decry people who don't follow the W3C standards then, when they do use things specified (until now) in those self-same standards they say it's broken.
It has nothing to do with her need nor a diamond as it has everything to do with her need to get rid of the cheap bum who tries to justify himself with "moral" bs. Would he really have done all this research about the "evils" of diamonds if he wasn't just trying to find a fucking excuse to use to get out of it?
As if Flash isn't bad enough, now everybody's going to have a huge 3D intro to thier web site.
Note to web designers:
Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should
So, you start out blaming Flash, then you come around with the realization that it's not the fault of the tool, but the user. Which way do you really feel?
I like text only web pages. Is that so wrong?
No... what's wrong is the typical Slashbot view of "I like text only web pages and, therefore, text only webpages is all that should be allowed on the internet."
The sad thing is that you see a comment like this every time a Slashdotting happens to a small site. It'll get modded up to 5 but the pleas still fall on deaf ears around here. Quite a shame, really as it's such a good idea.
So much of this site is based on the discussion. Hard to dscuss a site that has just been wiped of the face of the Earth for the next day or so.
Of course those photos aren't compelling as evidence to someone like you who has already come to the conclusion that the whole thing is a conspiracy. If there had been larger pieces of wreckage in the photo, I'd guess you'd be the first one to call them "faked" and "placed their as part of the cover-up."
Seriously, dude. Go outside and get some air. The world is far more mundane than you think it is.

This would have been fatal to the ability of Free Software to implement those standards.

Sounds like a problem with Free Software's outdated business model (to use a phrase bandied about every day here on

More lke:
DIY Astronaut: "Houston, we have a problem."
Houston: "RTFM!"
The title of the page:
"Of Course Your Dick is To Small!"
Is this like one of those SAT analogy sort of things?
Your dick is to small as CmdrTaco is to _______
a) a big dick
b) Slashdot
c) the English language
d) grammar nazi

Because it was dared to be said to watch the ads.
Great... I think I'd rather have an AI that plays better than me than one that can find previously unheard of ways to meet its demise like I can.

Anyone care to explain the diff to me?

How about this one:
What about not thinking yourself better than others because you don't choose to partake of a particular form of entertainment they might enjoy?
You smug, self-important assclown.

Can't have it both ways bucko.
Yeah... looks like his best bet to reprise the role of Wesley is now in "Star Trek XXX (Hot Alien Babes Unbound!)"

That's cool!!! I mean, if there's only one way to get people to respect to your POV, it's vandalism!!!!
