I don't need to read a stupid ass article telling me something I already know. You have to be a complete moron to think web email trumps desktop email and yeah, I know....... there are loads of morons out there.
then they can set up servers that do nothing but send files to P2P clients
There is nothing to stop them from doing that now.
For them to seek this kind of exemption, or in other words to allow themselves to be placed above the law shows just how hard these idiots have fallen off their rocker.
she really values the law instead of a pulpit for her personal ideology, she should seek being served
Nope.... no cigar for you. You are completely wrong about actively seeking to be served. That's just utter non-sense and one that just shows it is you who does not value the law. The law says it is the person serving the papers responsibility. I fail to see how that is so hard to understand.
I would argue that as an officer of the court, and one who (I hope) believes in the system, she should in this case seek service.
There is one easy answer to your argument..........BULLSHIT
Let me put the first reason this way. There is no law that says it is your responsibility to seek such service
The second reason is the Constitutional right to privacy
Your reasoning fails because it does not matter if a person does or does not have anything to hide...... it is not that persons responsibility until the papers are in her hand.
I think Google's response is spot on and equally important highlight's some of the ineptness that exists in the media industry. How is it that Viacom cannot adequately identify their own material? That's just astounding. And just how do they expect someone to know if it is their material? What bunch of buffons. If I were a stockholder of that company, I would be grilling the CEO and boardmembers about just exactly why they are not doing their jobs and keeping track of property the company owns.
The idea of ethanol sounds really great.... in theory. But in the practical world of living on this planet to produce enough ethanol (in the US) to really have any sort of impact on our consumption of black gold. You have to make a choice. The problem is the amount of tillable ground to produce enough corn to make enough ethanol to have any real effect. I don't have the link handy but read a report/story sometime back we would need to put nearly all of our tillable ground towards ethanol production. That's ok I guess. Like someone else said a long time ago... "Let them eat cake." Oh wait.... we can't make any of that.
I'm certain when he said "and rate its vulnerabilities differently because of the operating system's new, baked-in defenses." what he really meant was "and rate its vulnerabilities differently because of the operating system's new, half-baked-in defenses."
To quote " Usually Microsoft doesn't develop products, we buy products... "
So much for Microsoft's mantra of innovation. How can you possibly be innovative when all you do is buy up existing technologies and try to bolt them onto a POS of an operating system? Don't answer because that is a rhetorical question.
Well, barring for the moment McBride is a hugely bigger idiot than all of us can possibly imagine I really cannot shake the notion the SCO strings were and have been pulled by Microsoft. I know the theory about conspiracies but without Uncle Bills fingers in the pie, none of this really makes any sense.
It's already known McBride tried to, um persuade Novell to join this little legal foray and they told SCO to get lost. It's already known SCO was told this is not a can of worms you want to open, again IIRC by Mr. Love of Novell. There is at least one of their own employees that have said SCO KNOWINGLY contributed code to Linux and the list goes on. So either McBride is a complete boob to ignore some really sound advise or he had other motivations.
So yeah, I know it's a bit tinfoilish to think Microsoft is simply manipulating another company via proxy but to me, right now it's the only thing that really makes much sense.
Shuttleworth just needs to STFU. Any demands the open source world has asked of the OEMs is mild compared the the DRACONIAN agreements the likes of Dell and others have signed with Microsoft giving Billy Boy essentially a FREE RIDE to DISTRIBUTE his POS software. So Marky, pull your head outa your ass.
This is one of the very few things I can agree with Microsoft about. It's damn irritating to search for a domain name, find that it's not taken, then several days later try to register it only to find IT IS TAKEN by some cyber squatting asshole.
No... it's not hypocrisy at all and nothing to do with illegal copies, especially when your given the choice to say no. They don't really need to send anything back at all when when clicking no now do they. All they need to do is count those who say yes. In any event it causes even less trust in Microsoft when they lead you to believe the software will do as you ask when in fact it does not. There is no confidence.
No. Apple is nothing more than a wanna be Emperor without clothes. About 90% of the crap that is already available from cable, satellite, internet I don't watch anyway and can't see Apple offering ANYTHING that would prompt me to pay them.
That would no doubt be a problem with your distro. Though I have never had any issues with the aic7xxx driver. And it has always worked for me as far back as, well way back.

I smell, DRM, RIAA, MPAA, and a few others behind this and it has NOTHING to do with "energy efficiency". What better way for the *AAs to get more control of your box.
Well, I would agree democracies do not work, which is why they don't teach civics in schools here in the states. Why bother with what we were really founded as.... a Republic.

Ah well the usual twit non-sense remarks that the ONLY thing you must be doing is downloading music. To bad your thought processes are limited.
All I can say is the US has become one truly pathetic country.
Piss off grammar Nazi.
