Actually not, they wanted this ages ago to make life easier for themselves because single signon has a lot of attraction for them, as for many others. Passport failed as did Liberty and as IBM's new effort shortly will. They all want it so badly differences will be set aside at this stage just to make it happen in any shape or form that does not massively disadvantage any of them.
Its a fairly complicated attack, easily traced and could only probably only be executed once or twice per location before PC Plod comes calling due to the high visibility of the villians in pulling it off. Looks like way to little return for the effort and risk involved.
I just ran a search for "the 500,000 lines of code I need to finish by friday all the stupid extra features the PHB wanted after we had set a deadline based on the original spec".
Can you not tell from the language used in the summary. Read blackmail or extortion for 'political dealing' if this was Microsoft. Note how the benefit to both parties is mentioned, if this were microsoft then it would be evil for everyone except MS.
And that's when people will start getting sued. And if he/she/it's successful, it will encourage others to do the same.
Eh no, thats why we have consumer rights, legislation specifically intended to stop companies fucking customers over like this. The whole article is more of the completely disingenuous bullshit slashdot likes to propagate about MS suing people.
try to stop submarine patents from the industry in general, but Microsoft in particular
Can you please cite some examples of Microsoft using submarine patents.
Sun gets the benefit of undermining MS's new strategy
I think you will find the previous CEO of SUN pursued this sort of strategy for years instead of actually focussing the company on doing what it did best. Look where it got them.
No and I would not say anything and I would just laugh if I saw you checking if these airport doors were locked and several heavily armed men drag you off for a little question and rectal examination time.
Hey sub atomic particles have feelings too you know. Even though we are time sensitive, we like to get to know one another over a drink or dinner and not be smashed into each other in cyclotrons.
Its not facinating, its more license genital tugging that OSS seems obsessed with. The argument itself is untested, weak and clearly contrary to the spirit of the BSD license which ultimately is quite liberal so even if the assumptions made in the argument were true little would actually change.
Reads more like a GPL is the best license in the world scare tactic.

Me - I love you too.
Her - Yeah, they are a great band.

0 results, rather disappointingly.

Then get excited
What a realistic surprise!
Serious was there ever a better reason not to RTFA?
Maybe they are just adopting a release early, release often strategy
I was never totally sure I was a sprout.

The laptop holding the drive was itself spinning at 5000 RPM to achieve this figure, which makes it slightly difficult to use.

And if I catch you, you are going to get seven shades kicked out of you. Pissing about with what's not yours always has repercussions.
Initially it will be a series of pringle tubes duct taped together and connected to users computers thru which they can share files.
