Only one flaw though.
Why hire expensive and repsected lawyers that actually might do a "good" job to run a case you have no intention of winning?
I do understand that the words "respected", "lawyer" and "good job" normally do not belong in the same sentance.... but still.
And since this will not likely happen within my or my childrens lifetime, why would I be happy that in a few hundred years the indians will suffer the same fear of having their jobs moved to another country that I do? I do NOT wish anyone to suffer from panic attacks or worrying that they might get laid off every single day of the week that many western IT workers are now. Seriously, what perspective do I need? A geological timeframe?
I am suprised the floppy did not end up on the list since he mentioned analog watches. Despite being very useful it still is a technology many manufacturers have been trying to kill for ages. I can't even remember how many times I have read that manufacturers will no longer ship FDD's on new computers.
I read at one of the links that "Olivine is also found in many iron-nickel meteorites. Not just as small grains but as significantly sized crystals sometimes occupying over 50% of the meteorites volume." I do not know anything about minerals really, but if the lander is exploring a crater, couldn't this come from the meteorite that created the crater in the first place?
Oh come on, who could possibly not look forward to another 6 hours of Jar-Jar??

Yes, that works. The problem is that none of the availible sources to get binaries for 5.0 seem to work since the tree has been deleted (this is beginning to sound like a support issue). Kernel sources can be taken from the CD but to install FreeBSD 5.0, add openoffice, xfree86, gnome/kde, mozilla and a bunch of other outdated binaries will result in a week of non-stop compiling when running a portupgrade..... FreeBSD has a GREAT way of doing source upgrades if your system is fairly up to date but if it is not, well, it takes time. Anyway, I put my faith in the 5.2 release!

Well, I have had problems installing FreeBSD 5.1 on a few Fujitsu Laptops. I get kernel panics every time I try to use the function button to switch to an external display for instance.
That made me go back to FreeBSD 5.0 that ran without any problems since day one. It seems, however, that the source tree for 5.0 has been removed from the FTP mirrors so unless 5.2 works better than 5.1 there is no way for me to update the applications on any of the 5.0 machines. I am keeping my fingers crossed for 5.2.....
I am not sure I agree that just because KDE looks more like MS Windows it means the users will find it easier to work with. Siemens Business Services did a study on this a while back (story was posted on slashdot too) Part of it reads:
"Before settling on Ximian, Siemens evaluated plain vanilla Gnome and KDE as well. Siemens found KDE to be more "Windows-like" than Gnome, but that led to problems when non-technical users expected a more Windows-like experience. Gnome, particularly Ximian's version, was "different enough" to set user expectations that the experience would be less like Windows, which led to fewer adoption problems"
This is the license from FreeBSD. How much more Free can it get??

I have been running a NeverWinter server for quite some time and my experience is that people (in the Neverwinter community) both act and design their characters in different ways depending on where they live on the globe. Japanese players design their characters in brighter colors than americans or europeans and tend to focus more on modern style social barriers and bonds as opposed to the americans and europeans that focus more on chivalry and physical power/might.
Asian players focus their plotting and consipiracy around honor and personal issues while americans and europenas focus more on power, greed and [acted] jealousy.
I am NOT saying this is the way things really are, just that this is what I, filled with my own values and prejudice, have noticed. I'd love to hear from others what their experiences are when dealing with different people playing out characters of their own choice.
Also, the surrounding settings and overall design of the game definitely affects how the players will relate to each other and act in the game. As a little note to my parent poster i'd like to say that I think this would definitely have a great impact on any social experiment and conclusions drawn from it... The idea to remove the language barrier would ofcourse be a welcome addition to the online gaming community as far as I am concerned and I wish you all the best in trying.
"Anonymous User Challenges RIAA Subpoena"...And he still cant post at score above 0 on slashdot. I didnt give much for this anonymous coward person until now. He should be a hero!
Nah, people are just not doing what they are supposed to do. They listen to their friends instead of falling for the flashy commercial. I say we impose a MPAA tax on text messages to cover up the lost profits.
Either that, or outlaw friendship.
Any product in its original state that has not been handled careless can be recalled, that idea might work for cars or toys but not for software.
A computer with an operating system with certain pre-installed applications that the user can never modify and wich is automaticaly updated is detected to have a flaw? Sure, recall it.
A computer modified by kids, reinstalled by dad, never patched by mom? I say no refund.
And what about open source software? Sure, give them their money back...;)
Hmm... more like the standards being so huge they define everyone wanting to exchange documents with the chinese. So what they say is true, in communist states, the state defines YOU.....
They state in the FAQ that: 40% of software in use worldwide is believed to be pirated, and 37% in the EU (= loss of revenue of 2.9 billion euros annually).(2)
Worldwide, 36% of all music CDs and cassettes sold are pirated (total sales of pirated goods is 5 billion units).
The usual question I have is "how did they come up with those numbers???" At the very bottom of the page it says they are from BSA in case of software. This means that the BSA way of calculating actually is being used, THAT is scary.
They also claim that 36% of all music CD's sold are pirated. Why dont they figure out the same figure of sold pirated copies of sotftware instead of just citing BSA??

I think it works with WINE, just use the windows version...

This should put to rest any remaining doubts about whether or not "unsubscribing" from spam lists actually works.
...And also gives us email admins another reason to give the users when they ask why the Out of Office function is disabled for external emails.
My new girlfriend is a Star Trek fan.... This is REALLY bad news. =\

Too late, I already revoked everyone's ability to revoke last year. I bought the rights from Novell to do so
Great! Can you please sue my bank? They claim they can revoke my credit card and that is clearly in violation of this!

I like this part better:
"Will this Directive mean that people buying a fake watch from a market stall will be held liable for IPR infringement ?
No. The act of buying is not subject to any intellectual property right. "
If buying illgal copies is NOT subject to any intellectual property right, how could downloading for free ever be?
