Could the person paying for the internet account and offering the routing capabilities not simply argue that he's as much a common carrier as the ISP's? In that case, he'd be asked to hand over the logs of who transferred what etc. Oh, logs you say? Never keep em, uses too much disk space.
IANAL however so I may be way off base here.

Worked fine for me, I'm running a nightly though!
Is it that they are transparent with no background texture and therefore hard to read? The problem is you didn't wait for the menu background image to load, it took >1 minute for me, probably because they're being slashdotted.
Ever tried getting rid of MSN Messenger when running Office XP (Outlook in particular).
Quoted verbatim from the popup:
"There are other applications currently using features provided by Windows Messenger. You must close these other applications before you can exit Windows Messenger. These applications may include Outlook, Outlook Express, MSN Explorer, and Internet Explorer.".
Just another instance of Microsoft not giving two hoots about sticking to any deals from the antitrust lawsuit, they're up to the same old tricks again.
The only problem is no judicial system is 100% infallible. Just look at those people who are posthumously pardoned after being executed, ok, it's a small percentage of the total, but it's still a very real and frightening problem.
That's just the death sentence, the number of people who get convicted in the states on the flimsiest of evidence by a judicial system almost as corrupt as the political one is ludicrous. How would you feel if you were sent, wrongly, to a federal prison? Don't be naive enough to believe that only guilty people go to jail.
Yes, but we're talking about software here. It would cost you next to nothing to come up with a simple working prototype of this kind of functionality. If software patents have to stay, let's make it a bit more difficult to pull the wool over the systems eyes by registering these sort of vague patents.
problem is, they may want his mail...but because they are signed up to a retarded blacklist they cannot get it. I've seen many cases of genuine solicited mail not getting through to it's intended recipient, who wanted it because of a blacklist. In this case, I would say "Move to an ISP that doesn't have a mail admin braindead enough to use Osirusoft".
What happens if you a locked into a 1 year contract with this landlord (ISP)? If you move out you a liable for the rest of the rent for the remainder of your contract period.
That sucks. Osirusoft is responsible for tens of millions of dollars worth of collateral damage, that in my mind makes them worse than the spammers.

Contiki has been ported to x86, so you could get it running under vmware or Virtual PC.
rather than to keep the artist in tune it can have it's uses.
I work part time for a small record company as a producer and I don't like using autotune to correct duff notes. If the take is crap I'll get the singer to do it again, and then splice together various different takes to make a final vocal. With a decent mike, nice valve-preamp and a decent (outboard, not software) compressor you can get most takes to sit well with each other. Luckily, the singers we have signed up to us were all chosen on talent first, looks second (they're hot, however) so often the time is taken on getting the feel 100% rather than getting notes in tune.
Where autotune can be used is as a special effect, with a slow re-tune rate and strict tuning you can get the voice to sound somewhat as if it were being put through a Vocoder (though it sounds subtly different, much less harsh and robotic). You can get the voice to do some really wierd things that you know voices aren't meant to do.
If used sparingly and only on the kinds of tracks that warrant that kind of sound AutoTune is the mutts nuts.
Cher's believe wouldn't have been the hit it was if it didn't have that quirky vocal (there's still some debate over whether this was autotune with extreme settings or a vocoder).
Yes, but you have to admin that the MSBlaster/LuvSan worm would not have been possible if RPC hadn't been disabled in an OS that doesn't require it, i.e. XP Home, or Internet Connection Firewall was on by default rather than requiring user intervention, when half the users out there don't know what a firewall is, let alone how to turn one on.
Also, Linux users are on the most part more tech savvy than windows users, which I think plays a big part (I bet you 9 out of 10 linux users know not to open every attachment they receive).
Some people may even argue the man was silenced by the very same "Shadowy Figures" he talked about before his unfortunate death (and I refuse to call it a Suicide until there is absolute irrefutable proof that he wasn't murdered in cold blood by an administration that is running scared and realises they won't last another election).
...is that most comments attached to slashdot stories about SCO are now modded to +5 funny rather than +5 interesting and/or insightful as they were a few months ago.
I don't check daily on windows update either, I subsribe to various security lists and patch if and when appropriate.
If people actually took the time to register their software/hardware then they could be told too. Most users think that once you've got your computer is set up that's it...you don't need to do anything.
I'm not belittling those users, I am just aware of the fact that they must be educated. If more people were educated about not opening attachments, keeping their virus software up-to-date and occasionally running windows update/red hat up2date/portage/apt-get/whatever then the internet wouldn't be facing partial meltdown.
IMHO, since this is blatantly a case of Netgear cocking up their appliance they should not only a)refund any monies spent by the university in this problem and b)send out patches, at their own cost, to all users of affected routers. For heavens sake, so many people don't have anti-virus software installed, don't patch, why would they with a router? They just think "I plug this in to my cable modem, plug my computer in and I dun got thar intarnet workun" why would they know that they need to upgrade the products firmware?
Yeah, what's up with him? You would have thought that the novelty of chasing parked cars in the SCO parking lot would have worn off after his first few months there!;o)
The reason that they didn't show any RCU, NUMA or JFS code is that they don't own the copyright to it and they know that. These technologies were developed independently of any Sys V code. If they did show any of that source code, it would have been without permission.
Also remember the fact, they didn't actually write any of those in the first place. What they are saying is that since these technologies were added to vendors own version of Unix (AIX,IRIX etc.) they somehow now "own" these technologies, regardless of whether they have been implemented before. For example, JFS was first introduced in OS/2 and then moved over to AIX and Linux.
You fail to miss the big 'Ah-hah!'. If any part of their code uses other libraries licensed under the GPL, then they have to make their source code open and licensed under the GPL too. Now, let's see, they won't release their source code, and are licensing a "binary only" copy...seems like they are breaking the terms of the GPL to me.

Yes, but they are blatantly re-distributing it, what do you think including it in their products constitutes?
