What, SCO suing the RIAA for stealing the business practice of suing?
Actually Direct TV should be suing the RIAA for the theft of their litigation model of sending extortion letters, followed up by lawsuits, to everyone they could locate who had ever bought a smart card writer. Evidence of any actual crime wasn't necessary since defending yourself was far more expensive than just forking over several thousand dollars. And I don't think anyone ever stopped them.
Considering the solution to finding Internet plagiarism in college term papers, why can't the same type of check be made to uploaded source code. This problem has already been solved!
I think what would make these super for cars is that they would appear able to handle any regenerative braking load placed on them. I don't believe you can say that about the current cells in use.
All this nitpicking seems to be over the "KaZaZ Shared Folder". Just what is the KaZaZ shared folder? Is it \My Music, which most audio programs access as their default? Is it...\KaZaA\Shared, as the RIAA tries as hard as they can to imply without ever actually saying that.
Or is it a combined listing of a number of otherwise unrelated subdirectories that were either automatically assembled into a single shared list by KaZaA as part of a search for music, or added to and deleted from by the user afterwards?
The RIAA implies a deliberate act of placing files into a "shared folder". But did the files come to the shared folder, or did the folder simply become one of many combined into a single shared files list?
This distinction could be crucial since copying (or ripping) to your "KaZaZ Shared Folder" implies an intent -- and a specific location -- that's missing entirely if KaZaA simply assembles any list of subfolders it finds into a single image that it presents to the FastTrack network.
Besides, who ever keeps all their sound files -- legal or otherwise -- in a single directory?
The choice of video and audio codecs is outside the scope of the HTML 5 specification. Attempting to more tightly couple independent formats is myopic.
If it doesn't belong in the spec, why was it ever mooted about for inclusion in the first place?
How about if connections are just switched over to https / ssl encryption technologies. Can you prepend to an encrypted page? How long before there's a FF plug-in to strip any non-encrypted element from a page? That kind of idea could stop this nonsense pretty quick.
Also, does their extra crap count towards your bandwidth caps?
Sounds like theft of a standard always intended to be open. And Nokia comes off sounding like a bully who feels they're so big that they will get away with it.
I keep hearing about how wonderful Canada is, compared to their neighbor to the south, and then stuff like this happens which seems to show no regard for the common citizen at all!
I notice there was no reference to using Wikipedia's own complaint processes to try and resolve the issue - just the usual edit, edit, get blocked, complain about it on your blog pattern.
You clearly didn't read the entire article. I suggest you go back and finish it. FYI, it's 5 pages long.

Uh, shouldn't that be count to 1023?
In the USA we don't have pennies. We have cents, each of which is worth 1/100 of a dollar.
You're concerned about security, and you're using WINDOWS VISTA???

Wouldn't want to be there on the day they're trying to see what makes people puke.
Yeah, for now.
Nearly everyone else isn't happy about it either, so what's new?
And Bolts!
(P.S. a couple of my favorite Internet authors, Elf Sternberg and DB_Story, have been writing about these types of relationships for years now.)

And you're surprised at this news...why?

I'll be happy as long as the standard includes Plays For Sure. Anything with a name like that just has to be great!

We already know what they're up to. The only real question is, will they get away with it?

I thought high ranking meant he had power and others should fear him. You make it sound the other way around.

I'd mod you Troll -1, had I mod points today. The credibility of The Register, which has a reputation years long, is not in question with me.
