the only thing in that post that offended me was the "goat f*cker" part...the rest; I hear worse in the john.
The classification of "goat f*cker" should be reserved for the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and other f*cks who have small penises (george carlin/freudian), beat their wives, and can only do it with a goat as they are being hunted down. Poop in, poop out; if you try to f*ck someone, you'll likely get f*cked back.....o wait...could that be? YES...it's KARMA!
not really.....Microsoft, the OTHER antitrust company...more more be it; THE antitrust company was the target there. At least they don't require you to buy their things in pair...(at least of the same product).
Just like the RIAA, Rambus is blaming others for their own failures. The reason why Rambus (RDRAM) wasn't widely adopted was because it was an inferior product. Sure, in hypothetical and synthetic cases, RDRAM did outperform SDRAM, but in the real world, it got it's ass handed to them. (remember back in the day when Via had to fight Intel to be able to release a P3-compatible chipset using SDRAM? And how Via's low-end chipset was able to pounce Intel's expensive Rambus one and Intel eventually came to the realization that in order to compete, they would have to ditch Rambus). That combined with the expensive cost of RDRAM (even the ones maded by licensed RDRAM manufacturers like Samsung, etc.) and the disadvantage that you had to buy in pairs (talk about antitrust; "Sorry sir, you have to buy TWO copies of Windows for one to work.") or use a dummy stick which adds more cost and lackluster performance across real world appz (including games) lead to its demise. Not to mention, the abandonment by Intel which caused Rambus's stock to be cheaper than the Russian rubble (already used as toilet paper).
If anyone, they should sue themselves for bad business practices. Oh wait, the stockholders did try to sue but later dropped it.
sadly, the ACD23's use apple's own proprietary connector, the ADC and requires a 100dollar adapter (sold by apple and some other companies). The ADC is essentially a DVI connector but with power and USB lines all in one. And because of the proprietary-ness, it'll cost you.
this really has to stop. 2,454 lawsuits, none go through, but it still, it means that the courts have to process not just the initial suits, but also the settlements. That takes time away from more deserving cases including tyco, enron, worldcom, reliant/dynergy (in california), etc. (the civil suits that is). It's a waste of taxpayers money to do this. And using public resources to further one's bottomline is suppose to be a no-no. Of course the old argument that this is a form of extortion; the fact that the whole and sole intent of filing the lawsuit is to intimidate and force those who don't have an army of lawyers at their disposal nor the law-savy to know that they have rights, pretty much get defrauded.
And another, just because they settle the civil suit doesn't mean smooth sailing from that point on. There's still the risk of a criminal suit if an "anonymous informant" gives the feds the info, in which case, the Recording Industry Ass. of America can and might get some more money. Double jeopardy in their favor (or lack there of).
In essence, you can actually categorize the Recording Industry Ass. of America as a terrorist organization. Webster's dictionary defines terrorism as "the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion." Using a threat of legal action against defenseless, unexpecting individuals with an army of lawyers definitely qualifies as inducing terror as a means to coerce or to extort. Hell, I prefer the mob over the Recording Industry Ass. of America. At least they don't target 12yr-old girls. That's low; lower than Hamas in some ways. (I won't use Michael Jackson to compare and contrast....as the saying goes "innocent until proven guilty* *-Unless you don't have millions for an army of lawyers") To target kids with lawsuits, the old addage, "taking candy from a baby" comes to mind and it's not right.
At least the RIAA has finally shown its true colors. Wait until they sue someone who died while serving their country (or a person in a coma); there will be hell to pay then. I hope that the politicians (especially those facing re-election) finally set up to the plate and condemn them and start passing more strict (or start enforcing existing) laws that prohibit using lawsuits or the threat of such with the sole intent to settle, which amount to a form of extortion.

*sigh* 11+ yrs in computer terms equals more than 77 yrs I guess.
it's a legal formality to cover Novell's ass if need be (in case of a NDA).
Plus, it's to make it so they can't say no, legally. So even if the document fishing turns out to be unfruitful, no harm to those subpoenaed, at least not in the long-turn (like having a colonoscopy).
Baystar is pulling out....it may have been due to "secret" talks with IBM's or even rumors from IBM to Baystar that they can get into hot water with IBM's army of lawyers. And it was in IBM's best interest for Baystar, a MAJOR public (aka non-secret) investor to pull out; think PR. If a major investor doesn't have faith in you, you're screwed.
I wonder what dirt will be found...and if there's dirt for the EU and the states that settled with Microsoft in their respective anti-trust suits to make their moves.
it's a good thing....I think it's to prove that there's something foul in the air (and no, CowboyNeal didn't have a burrito); aka Microsoft is using SCO to further it's anti-competitive practices, which can in turn be used against SCO.
I don't think companies that are being sued or threatened to be sued by SCO would say no to IBM's requests, as it is in their interests to help the one who has the bigger army of lawyers. Basically, the subpoenas are a legal formality; in case there's a non-disclosure agreement (a subpoena is a legal way of taking a peek without breaking that NDA), so the companies don't get sued by SCO/Microsoft for disclosing the agreement.
Fight fire with fire....this case, lawyers with lawyers. The only issue is that since SCO seem to have a secret ally/live-line (Micro$oft), hence IBM's move to possibly expose the foulplay by Microsoft, which will get M$ in hot water with the anti-trust settlements.
I say California's blows more....but in reality, they both blow for blowing. (opening the floodgates for the "who's on first. what's on second." jokes).
yea...why is the FBI wasting time and taxpayer money on non-critical issues. No wonder 9/11 wasn't prevented; the feds are too busy chasing insignificant, petty misdemeanor "crimes". I just hope that the FBI shapes up so we don't repeat the tragedy.
looks like jurassic park might be possible. Of course, this means we can bring back like the wooly mammoth as a whole. The current project was to use wooly mammoth dna and mix it with an elephant (probably the African elephant as they are bigger) and implant it in an elephant. Then take that and result and mix that with wooly mammoth dna and so on to reduce the "elephant" dna portion of it. But with this new technique, we can get a fully 100% wooly mammoth on the first try.
Other animals like the sabertooth, iguanadon, etc. can also be brought back, though I'd urge caution as this is another pandora's box.
Schools (students and teachers alike) are suppose to be exempt from copyrights (provided that they don't sell works). This is the whole reason why they are allowed to use the xerox machine and the reason why they are not suppose to be charged for royalties on music they may play during nap time or during their music classes.
This reinforces just how low the RIAA would go to make their money. I'm pretty sure the artists themselves would've let this one go. For godsakes, they are kids...IN SCHOOL! At least it wasn't in California, where education is crap as it is.
what if it was a "money-shot." And not all money-shots are the same (nor are they predictable). Some times, it might go up their nose or hell, the alternate ending can be a blooper or what happens after they stop rolling, etc.
That's weird, because DVD's can be dual layered, in other words, more than one piece of data in one "spot" (2-dimensional spot that is). And so is the upcoming bluray discs. Of course, when DVDs were first developed, 10-layers was "planned". And there's FMD (prototypes only) that uses multiple layers but of fluorence not reflective optics. And there's the holographic storage technologies (which is truly 3D, unlike layering).
But what would happen if you mix this multi-dye technique with the existing layering technique....and blue lasers....man....just think of the p0rn possibilities! Each dye can store a different angle (or an "alternate ending").
Glad to help. Though I wasn't bashing; was only stating the truth. Bashing would be to....well...not necessarily use coherent sentences or grammar; typically has profanity of some sort and tend to attack the company itself and not the facts.
Though apparently, AC posts aren't in those statistics.
with all the win32 worms and viruses and other attacks including the more recent security "risks" annouced by Microsoft that affects all Windows (except Win3.xx), you have to be either an Microsoft employee or the former Iraqi Information Minister to say that Microsoft is secure compared to *nix.
To him, any Linux is malware as it's superior to his creation, especially when it comes to security. And of course, this is not to say that MacOS isn't; just that he doesn't see it as a "threat."
This key issue is the reason that's a cause for concern about the upcoming No Execution (NX) and DRM systems in future processors (backed by Microsoft) to "prevent execution of unauthorized code." Apparently, as it was/.'ed earlier, it will affect the STrongARM (for PDAs) processors.
If I can't trust Microsoft for security right now, why in the world would I trust them to decide what's "authorized" or not.
Wonder if the book talks about a third party malware lists (like those spam databases).
