  3. Re:Yes, Windows is a common term on MS Asking Makers of 'Windows' Software To Rename · · Score: 1

    Mind that a trademark is exactly that:

    A MARK and
    used for TRADE

    And beside, if you register a Trademark that is already in use by other peoples, your trademark is very cool, but invalid by default.

    You aren't obliged to protect your brand... it is only wise to do so...

    Good luck next time...

    Could be worse... you could end up with a non-frozzen kernel that would take more 6 months to stabilize...

    This way, it may be possible that in the middle, 3th quarter of 2003, the 2.7 hits the streets with your modules added into the kernel...

    1. that so few people realize the advantage the rich have in the legal system, and

    There are those that know, but think that it only applies to the so called "hackers" [with the new term meaning, not the golden days meaning]... not the the public at large...

    2. that so few people that do know, care

    The problem is that those that know, don't have the resources nor the time to really care... because in that moment they will only live to fight it...

    Welcome to the new slavery days...
    America the consumer slave country...

    They have a store open to the public to sell products. That obliges them to certain obligations, one of each is to make public the prices of their products!

    What people do with the price info is out of their hands, because, when one thing is public, it is public! The internet isn't an exception...

  12. Re:DRM's dirty little secret on Movielink Snubs DRM-less Macs · · Score: 1

    Not really...

    Because if it is stupid, then it isn't a valid under the DMCA...

    An encoding doesn't compy with the DMCA requirements for protection.

    A flawed crypto is just a bad encoding system, so, it isn't a DMCA protection mechanism [apart from the fact that any crypto over a digital content doens't forbid nor helps avoid to read the content... i will be able to read every spec of bit... even if i won't understand them].

    Cheers...

    P.S.- DMCA is flawed by design and is againt Berna Convention.

  13. Just make writen complains... on Cell Phone Service Degenerates Further · · Score: 1

    Phone services don't provide you the legal arm to smack their faces...

    Make written and registered complains.

    After 3 unanswered complains, send them a legal letter for breaking the contract due to disrespect of the commercial and consumer laws... (exact wordings may varie from country to country)...

    That will mean that they can't use the "surcharge" clausules, because the breach is because of motives in their hands, not the user hands...

    Cheers...

    P.S.- In Portugal that is what would happen... [you can even use a arbitrator court (you can only use an arbitrator, because if you go to court... you will get the case heard 2 or 3 years later) to handle the breach of contract, thrus avoiding legal fees and problems]

    Which will list the current status of her company and all jobs performed...

    As there wasn't a "fee" established, give a "acocunt opening bonus" equal to the consulting cost...

    That will mean 2 things:

    a) that you don't intend to charge for the service, but that you value it... (you can't charge them anyway, so...);
    b) you are willing to perform more services in the future... at a rate.

    Cheers...

  15. The consequence is simple... on CA Law Demands Public Disclosure Of Break-Ins · · Score: 2, Funny

    Big corporations will have an internal investigation department and thrus never reveal nothing...

    Small corporations will simply classify the event as "computer malfunction" and reinstall all the software and document the event as such...

    In the end, California will be the only place in the world where there isn't any break in at all... at least reported publicly...

  16. Re:Bandwidth still being used on New Apache Module For Fending Off DoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    It is all a question of scale...

    The hardware devices that you propose already exist. And they work to some extend.

    The problem is bigger the most would think. What does diferenciate a attack from a legitim access? How do you detect an attack and start to counter it? Do you have bandwidth to withold even a pit bucket for the attacking packets?

    And finally how much money are you investing in the DoS protection...

    The apache module have as normal a very interisting cost/effectiveness ratio... [even if there are other more efficient solutions for the DoS problems - they are also very expensive].

    I don't know, but the EU could sue BMG for trade infringement and disrespect for consumer rights...

    It is a fraud to try to sell one thing for another... in Europe as it is anywhere in the world where there is law enforcement...
