This site helped me get my Sony DRU-510A DVD+/-RW+/-R DVD up and burning data dvds in no time. I haven't tried video, but then again, I bought it for data.
I don't see a single word in the quote you cited that says anything about the number of good patents vs. the number of bad ones
Ah Slashdot: Defend patents without stating evidence: Get flamed. Be against patents without stating evidence: +5 insightful. Seeing this post get modded -1 flamebait (and I'll even post logged in w/karma bonus for max effect): Priceless.
Your post reminded me of a Simpson's quote by Frink:
"Yes, over here, n'hey, n'hey. In episode BF12, you
were battling barbarians while riding a winged
Appaloosa, yet in the very next scene, my dear,
you're clearly atop a winged Arabian. Please do
explain it."
It doesn't matter. If the code for all the spyware out there was available, do you think the average user would even know about it let alone what to do with it? The don't have the ability to modify and recompile source code and they never will.
If and when OSS makes it to the mainstream desktop, the average user will have no real concept of what OSS is and they won't even care.
With Free Software, things like this would not happen.
BS. IF linux gets adopted by the mainstream desktop market, you can bet your ass that spyware will quickly follow. And the mainstream desktop users will be just as helpless and unable to stop it as they are now.
I used to work at the University of Washington. Everywhere I went (Health Sciences Building - a building that is 1/4 of a mile long) there are Macs. This might account for what I think is the low prevelance of spyware. There are tons and tons af Macs at the UW.
I bet you have a 'Kill your television' sticker on your car.
I also bet that anytime someone mentions a TV show, you chime in with "$TV_show? Never hear of it. I don't even own a TV. Haven't since May, 1978. You really should get rid of your TV, etc."
Yes but you can get off junk mailing lists rather effectively. I signed myself up here and my junk mail went to nearly non-existent in a few months (down from around 3-5 a day, every day.) There is nothing similar for email.

It's in the design.
Yep. And if you inline presentation and data in a complicated web app, that's bad design.
What an unfortunate name.
What happened to Joe User?
Just wait, in a few years it'll be Jagdish 'Shudras' User.
Can somebody please explain to me what OSS has to do with a futuristic law show?
Because the show is going to stink like Richard Stallman. I know, I know, Slashdot makes the most tenuous links between things.
I called it a 'fucking bitch' more times than I can count.
you loose on a technicality - sorcerer is now a base class. check it out character classes
Sorry, the Simpson's is strictly a top-down program.
Is it good or is it wack?
Frozen to death, reanimated, then boiled to death.

But yours was more geeky.

...the sky is blue.
Are they saying morph was not used until 1993? morph
Bah, I do that now. I reboot into Windows whenever I want to game. That is the sole purpose of my dual boot.
You can use google to find that one too.
Yes, it's just the regular old Google. I used it all the time to find recipes.
You forgot:

#pkill -9 joke
Newbie thinks to self: "must be a permissions problem. Perhaps if I chmod 777 /* that will fix it."
What if google dosent deliver?
If there is no answer on Google (groups that is), then there is no question.
