We're talking about line-by-line code copying. That includes not just the function but the exact, word-for-word lines of code. And the developer comments are exactly, 100 percent the same. The developer comments really get to the DNA of the code. It's one thing to have something look the same, but when the developer comments are exactly the same, that tells you everything you need to know that this is in fact lifted, that it has been copied and pasted from Unix into Linux.-- Darl McBride, 2003-06-16
A lot of code that you'll be seeing coming on in these copyright cases is not going to be line-by-line code. It will be more along the lines of nonliteral copying, which has more to do with infringement. This has more to do with sequence, organization, which is copyright-protectable. It's interesting when you go down this path that everyone wants to go to the exact lines of code, but most copyright cases

I guess that means I am going to be a troll now.

This doesn't even include the two seperate submissions to discuss the name change.
I mean come on the last time there was an anouncement for Internet explorer that wasn't about a gaping security hole was over a year ago. Let's get some equal coverage here on this unbiased "news" site called Slashdot
It is recently announced that a group of companys' are joining together to provide nationwide wireless access, for a fee of course. Then the next day the government comes out trying to make it illegal to provide free internet access.
What a big suprise.
Netzero you better start sending money to DC or your going to be next.
My ISP allows me to have 5 email addresses. While I only use one for normal use I have reserved the other for with some back-up users names that I may use in the future. I have never given out any of these extra email address, though they get about 10 emails a week.
As the article states spammers are using methods similiar to a hackers dictionary attack to create random email addresses and send them out. So what it basically boils down to is RTFA!
middle eastern countries sue all providers of porn because porn is outlawed in those countries.
china sues all providers on the topics of free speech and human rights because these practices are outlawed in China.
after its all said and done only the lawyers will be winners and that means no one wins.
just another example for the RIAA to bring up in their arguments for better copyright protection devices.
But wait this CD was on the net before it was released. It couldn't have been evil teen h4x0rs. It must have been someone within the recording industry illegally releasing the CD.
No amount of copyright protection device will stop internal deffects. They need to examine the skeletons in their own closets before they start cracking down on the general public.
you could send a virus claiming to be a microsoft update from virusthatwillcrashyourcomputer.com and half the idiots running windows would still download it.

At least Microsoft would be fighting against the caps because this would kill Xbox live.
Why do I have a feeling Jamie Kellner, CEO of Turner Broadasting, had a hand in making them put commercial breaks in falling dominos.
