knows won't sell when they could be creating the next patent pending paradigm shifting curve jumping technology for 1/20th of that much.
Well.. you go crceate the next paradigm shifting curve jumping technology since you think it's so bloody easy, meanwhile the rest of us will remain firmly stuck here in the real world.
Some people RELY on their cell phones' ability to receive calls...
Oh, get over yourself.
1. Most phones can be set up to make some pretty annoying sounds when they lose network access.
2. If you're relying on your cell phone for anything life-critical; change plans. Lots of things will stop cell-phones, bad weather, tunnels, subways, thick walls, etc.. not to mention random outages caused by telco incompetence. This is just *another* one to add to the list.
3. Suing?! Because you weren't allowed to receive calls on their premises? urg.
Over here it's entrapment if the police causes somebody to commit a crime, regardless of wether it would be "normal" for the person.
Actually thinking about it, "normal" sounds like an extremely ambigious, dubious and plain out dangerous word to use here. Who defines normality? If the person did it, it was obviously normal for him, right?
I got an F, despite there being no rules whatsoever prohibiting parachutes (although I hear they wrote in that rule the following year).
The rules you linked clearly used the word 'vehicle'. A parachute is not a vehicle.
You cheated, got caught and you're whining about it god knows how many years later!

Only to the x86 weenies who think "modern computer history" started with the IBM-PC.
Hmm. I remember owning a BBC. The other machines I knew existed at that time where Atari, Amiga, Tiki, some brand I forgot and I think maybe Mac? I wasn't very old:)
Either way, I know none of those were referred to as PC's in common speach atleast, and this was before the 286 become a major hit, and the all-conquering 386 came. Anyways, I'm Norwegian and thus not a native English speaker, so that might be the cause of the difference.

The two have been synonymious throught modern computer-history, even in the 286' days people were referring to IBM Compatible Personal Computeres as PC's, and the others with their respective brand names. Just because you're too young to remember doesn't mean others aren't:)
Since Mandriva is French and thus almost European, maybe they will have a decent selection of music? I mean, I'm fairly standard and mainly listen to rock with the odd goth / goth-metal band thrown in, and I have a seriously hard time finding music I like on itunes. It's all r&b, rap, hip-hop and other stuff which barely qualify as music in my ears...
I'd still like to see the CEO's of the top six IT companies put on a public platform and made to answer some tough questions. Like, with all their personal billions and access to hundreds of billions in corporate funds, what are they actually doing to track down guys like these and nail them?
You actually, seriously want the top-six IT companies to employ their own security experts for tracking down and nailing "criminals"? I mean, citizen-arrests are scary enough, due to the reasonable number of slightly insane people.. corporations on the other hand, are single-mindedly psychotic; all of them... and you want them to start cracking down on crime?
Regardless of how bad your foodanalogy is, I think the morality of this case is simple;
"Want to do business here? Then abide by our laws and terms. We're not forcing you to do anything."
And even if you somehow still think it's unfair for the lawfully elected represtants of the people to bully poor innocent monopoly-convicted private foreign corporations into undoing the devastation of the software-industry then we have different notions of morality.
It's actually quite hard.Basically, it involves using the so-called "Post Office Protocol", one large hack of an inadequate mess. It's a bitch to set up, and not something I would wish upon anybody. Stay well clear!
I'm not trying to be overly critical but I'm sure there are people who would find the comparisons between an overly-strict computer and a group that baked people in ovens offensive.
I never could decide what was worse.
1. People being offended by just about anything.
2. People being offended on behalf of some imaginery extremely sensitive friend.
3. People trying to be polite and nice pretending to take offensive on behalf of some imaginery friend, while they clearly were quite busy taking offense themselves.
Wait, I thought this was a website hosted by the company itself.

You can't however own the 'to', and even if you're providing it, it is certainly not yours to mess with.
exactly, and as a home brewer I took offense at the title "worlds first open source beer" which it is not. Myself and several other home-brewers share recipies and techniques all the time.
While you're busy taking offense, how about taking a break and realise it's a joke?
Either way, people were sharing code and programs long before 'open source' got around. What makes open source is the licence (and preferably some idiot standing on a virtual box shouting, 'this is open source'), and this is the first I've heard of anybody trying to attach a licence to their recipe.

Yes, and it's not legal in Norway.

So if the 54-cent tariff was removed, prices would fall by $1.20? Good thinking!

Yes, it is amazing how rumour sites seem to consist of rumours. Mind-boggling it is!

From your perspective it is though, 1 year here and you'll never want to go back :)
Prior art will still invalidate a patent...
