Nintendo's customers--including many children and their parents--have come to identify the Nintendo trademark(s)/works with the high quality of Nintendo products. Your unauthorized use of the Nintendo trademark(s)/works will tarnish Nintendo's reputation.
Tarnish it how? Because the children are trolling the SG message boards? Because Hey, when I think Metroid, I automatically associate her with a SG pin-up girl? (Well, I do have a thing for chicks with ink, but I digress)
Yet another example of why a seemingly huge majority of lawyers contribute absolutely nothing to society. I honestly don't see this diluting the Nintendo trademark at all. What, I can't even mention a word associated with a Nintendo product in certain environments? This is akin to Nintendo saying that "If you are in a strip club, you can't talk to your buddies about Mario Kart."
Nevermind why you would be talking about Mario in nudie bar.
I have the same problem. I am betting that when Timothy reposts the article tomorrow, it will be classified properly, and thus excluded from my homepage.
A monkey actually flew out of my butt this morning when I read this news. Can't wait to see how good it is. Hopefully this is not 'Daikatana part Deux'.
Methinks the marketing folks dropped the ball on this one.
Maybe this is some sort of fancy animal that is realy cool in certain circles and I am missing it? Maybe this is one of the Engineers kids names? Jack=jackito, bobby=bobito? Judge Ito = ItoIto?? Maybe the guy really loves Jack in the Box and is mad they don't have burritos, so this is a stab at fulfilling his fast food fantasy. Eating a burrito at JITB. Perhaps this is spanish for "small jacket"? (not sure what that has to do with a 'TDA' though)
Not too sure, but I am going with 'jagoffito' for now since this is the weakest product name out there.
Applied the $130 towards a $399, 20 GB iPod. Net Price then becomes $270 for a smaller, more lightweight product that jives with my existing Mac in many different ways.
...isn't already talking loud enough at his meetings he takes over speakerphone. Now we have to listen to "Go cnn.com", or "Check Stocks" all friggin' day.
I haven't seen one since the 70's actually, well before the Internet was mainstream. I tend to think that their business model was out of touch before the mid-late 80's.
I used to think the transparencies of the Human Body were really cool, though.
Now, if only I could get rid of all the friggin' Kirby Salesmen that keep bugging me at all hours!!
Not only does she take home a ridiculous salary, she spends enormous sums on everything apparently. My mother works for an electrical contractor in San Jose. They put in $100,000 sounds systems on each of her 2 corporate jets. I am sure she is asking everyone there to cut 15% of their budget every year while she is doing this as well. Add these costs to here salary to get a better picture of what she costs them.
Why do the foil hatties come out in droves whenever the subject of RFID's comes up? If someone really cares about you so much that they want to track your every waking moment, they will. There is only so much usefulness in an RFID anyway. One ex-cop thrown off the force for drinking Thunderbird following you around all day will give you much more info than an RFID tag ever could. And you can pay him in grain alcohol.
*Gasp* You mean, with an RFID tag in my credit card, the collective evil "they" will know exactly when and where I use it, only mere moments afterward?
I also think that this is a good move on AOL's part. But I tend to think that the real benefit of this is in giving people switching away from the traditional AOL a new place to go instead of Juno. That is where AOL has been hurting the most recently.
The stock of Juno's parent company dropped 20% on this announcement.
There are two reasons behind this that I see. The first one is to get new users, of course, which is a much smaller market than it has been in previous years, like you said.
But where this really comes into play is when existing AOL users call in wanting to cancel their membership. "Oh, you want to cancel? Well, can your new ISP do THIS??"
Ok, I should have been more specific. But for your brilliant insight, you now get the opportunity to pay SCO a licensing fee to make your Linux installation legal.
If you do not use Linux, then my joke has failed entirely and you get nothing!
As more and more companies and the government buckle down on their security initiatives, they will either force Microsoft to have a secure browser...
Name one thing MS has been forced to do by anyone. While they do make minor concessions and are occasionally forced to shift strategies, nothing has really slowed them down.
Let's not forget...the tide really can change. Remember when Netscape was the undeniable champion? Look where they are now. Who's to say this can't happen to IE?
I would really love to believe this, but I just don't see it happening in the current environment. Remember that Netscape was charging money for their browser, and this was their main source of income at the time. They had server products yes, but the browser was still their bread and butter. Along comes MS, and because they could, gave the browser away for free, forcing Netscape to develop a whole different model. By the time they had adapted, it was too late.
I just don't see any behemoth coming out of the woodwork to stop MS dominance in this arena. Maybe if there were a fundamental change in how people access their data on the net, much like Mosaic's browser was. Even then though, MS can just throw money at any situation and throw a huge team of developers at any problem.
Also, people use what is there, like many people have said already. Are a lot more people talking about security these days as you suggest? Maybe a few more, but I think maybe it's mostly the same people talking louder than normal. I still don't hear my Mom talking about the latest hole in IE. When that happens, then I will KNOW that there has been a shift in the way laypeople feel about security.
Wow, that depresses me a bit. I need to end on a positive. Ummm... Yankees lost game 1! Woohoo!
The only way to stop the cycle is to enforce the ruling to have Microsoft remove the browser from the OS.
Maybe there's a logical step I can't think of that will occur the moment after MS removes the browser from the OS. How again does this make it standards compliant? I don't disagree that it should be removed, mind you, I just don't think this has anything to do with making it standards compliant.
Unfortunately for SCO, Darl heard the word "Pam" and had been looking for Pam Dawber of "Mork and Mindy" fame for the past several years. Apparently, Robin Williams wasn't returning his calls.

"one mans terrorist is another mans customer."
I actually thought that was General Electric, on hearing that Iran was looking for a Nuclear Reactor.
Good Grief, Charlie Brown. You were doing so very well until you mentioned HER.

$130.

I just don't see the appeal of this offer.

I'll be back on Saturday, after I've RTFA to post some comments. See you all then!
Why bother waiting to read the article? No one else here does.

This hurts their credibility with those who oppose them
Because... those who oppose them considered SCO credible before this point?
