Ah how sweet. Slashdot readers supporting an OSS company in patent trolling to damage Microsoft and others. I'm sure the irony, and indeed the stupidity of this move is totally lost on you.
Ummm what do you think Steve meant by "revolutionary mobile phone" or when he said "the killer app is making calls". That puts it squarely up against regualar mobile phones doesnt it. This device is clearly aimed at non business consumers who would not be typical blackberry or treo users.
Not to add fuel to the fire, but where's Apple in all of this
Well if you bothered to RTFA you would have seen that Apple (and others) are getting the same sort of assistance in securing their products from the NSA.
Its getting way too typical around here. Some obviously clueless twat cant do something, blames MS and Slashdot post it like its gospel truth. For a site thats supposed to be clued up technically its just fucking embarassing.
I am all in favour of this move. I feel I should have the right to decide whether I want to detonate myself or not. Maybe I would like the opportunity to go out in a blaze of glory destroying something important and not just the first bunker a general points at, but noone ever asks me or considers my feeling on the matter.
or Mad Cow Disease for those of you like myself who had no idea what the headline was about.
The actual article headline "Mad Cow Breakthrough?" really should have been followed by a story about mad cow scientists were developing a doomsday weapon to destroy humanity, or that mad cow armies were breaking through our outer defense perimeter or some such. Would have been much more interesting.
Sorry but if anything that quote and interview only serve to invalidate your opinion that it was a last minute deal breaking request jammed into a rushed deal. It's clear from the article that Novell were well aware of the IP issue, discussed it and were also aware an identical deal had been put to and rejected by Redhat leaving Novell with clear vista for negotiation.
You missed the "My guess" part before that statement. In other words he does not know what the circumstances of the deal were. Fortunately though this lack of information and facts fits the Slashdot speculation model perfectly.

The protein or the cancer?
Yeah, how dare MS make it easy for developers and even non developers to quickly create applications to fulfil their requirements.
Its running Vista. Thats why its not available for a few months, Apple are waiting for the first service pack to be released.
but just didnt get around to doing it.
It was the top seller in Dec apparently with 815.7 K sales and 1.8 M sales since its release in Nov.

as the size of the thing? Thats a fairly hefty unit to try and pass off as a phone.

I just got my servers switched over from the Julien to the Gregorian calender. Now this. When will it ever end.
Clearly becomes impervious to pain when she takes my credit card and goes shopping for shoes.

It doesn't. All the quality tools and books Mark has produced earned him that title.
30,001. And I bet he still has to queue.
Its in Beta.

Just dont go to the US. Screw them and their 'information' requirements.
Slashdot wishing it to fail just isn't enough.
Anyone?

12 is actually a cloaked scanner for CIA/NSA uber secret scanning. Its there you just cant see it. Trust me.
Also in the interests of national security forget you read this post.
I stand corrected. The unsourced speculation you linked too clearly proves the original uninformed speculation was actually fact.

Me hate stupid article. Me go fly off tall building now.
