Best Buy's best bet would have been not to take this to court. They should have had an employee 'leak' information about new deals to FatWallet. When the customers show up at Best Buy stores and see signs posted stating "We do not certify and agree to any prices published by third partys..."
Best Buy would have made FatWallet a laughing stock and Best Buy would have ended up looking good. Litigation was the wrong maneuver.
Wow. I am appalled by your actions against Luigi Auriemma. http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/344214
Why would you tell someone who is working for your benefit to C&D? That is just plain stupid and has made me lose all faith in your business model and I pledge to no longer support your company or any games that use your software because YOU are the reason computers are not secure.
Your company was given information on bugs that threaten the operation of a computer, yet you get angry and use the DMCA on a person who was doing you nothing but good. Good idea.
Also I have told everyone I know not to use Fileplanet, Gamespy or any of your other services until your software is secure. Until you can wakeup and notice that security is more important than your Public Image (which you just ruined by using the DMCA on this kid) you won't be sucessful as a company.
Ahh, Internet Explorer is finally getting pop-up blocking. This should be interesting (and a shame for Pop-Up Stopper and other companies like it that will be out of business). How long before you think they catch on to real browser innovation, like mouse gestures and tabbed browsing?
I would have thought they would have released it this year before the holiday season since they are going to start the Clone War cartoons soon. I would have released them on DVD to get the younger market that hasn't seen and doesn't own the movie yet. (DVD > VHS)
Yeah, my mom is doing the South Beach diet and so far she has lost 21 pounds. She says she loves it because she can eat steak, hamburger (w/o the bun), salads, chicken, vegetables and all kinds of good food.
Hitler only used the name "Nazi" to gain support of the people, he had no plans to change the German economic system. If Hitler was truly a socialist he would not have become Furer and led the country as a dicatorship.
To everyone who says there is no gravity is space:

The 1985 Project
To mark the 900th anniversary of the Domesday Book in 1985, a new multimedia edition of Domesday was compiled and published in 1986. This included all the information from the original survey plus modern spellings of the place names, maps, and many color photos.
It was produced in a partnership between Acorn, Ltd, Philips and the BBC. The BBC Domesday Project Community Disc or National Disc was published as two laser disc of the Philips? LaserVision-Read Only Memory (LV-ROM) format. Acorn launched a version of the BBC Microcomputer capable of reading the disc format.
In 2002, there were great fears that the disc would become unreadable as computers capable of reading the format had become rare (and drives capable of accessing the discs even rarer). However, the BBC later announced that the CAMiLEON project (a partnership between Leeds University and University of Michigan) had developed a system capable of accessing the discs using emulation techniques. (Unfortunately, this data is not yet publicly accessible due to copyright constraints.)
Interestingly, while there are difficulties accessing digital data from 1986, the original Domesday book, now over 900 years old, can still be consulted. This has renewed interest in ensuring long-term access to digital information.
I thought this artice was going to be something more along the lines of the most common ways people lose data: power outages, hard drive deaths, etc. Not the top 10 dumbest people ever...

Well my older brother is one of the programmers at AOL in Columbus, Ohio. And he was telling me how he is working on the client for the Netscape ISP. So it isn't just a theory, there is good evidence that a working version will be finished soon.
I just realized I am going to get modded down just because I am related to someone who works for AOL...

Yeah it was. Maybe they are going to get out of it because technically they did business with them when they signed up on ATTs site, god I hope not...

habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Kommunist.
Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.
Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.
Als sie mich holten,
gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte."
Martin Niemoller, 1892-1984
