Well it does create a standing the you cannot be successfully sued due to reverse engineering for interoperability to sell a competing product that does not break copyright.
The word you're looking for is "precedent," and it only applies in that circuit.
Another consideration you should look at is to change the MTUs of your computer to a very low number. The cell phone towers tend to fragment packets and not ask for them to be resent (they were designed for voice, not data).
I work all day at a customer office that doesn't provide network access, even analog lines. I have 1xEVDO service through Verizon Wireless, which is the only "broadband" option available through my employer. (Other carriers may offer similar service, but only their lower-speed plans are available through my employer.)
My experience is that I usually get about 500 kbps in major metropolitan areas, which is about what they advertise. (1xEVDO is only availalable in certain cities; the card is supposed to "fall back" to ISDN-like speeds in other areas.) 500 kbps is certainly faster than the approximately 150 kbps that the other carriers advertise, but it's not competitive with DSL or a cable modem. In fact it's about one tenth of what I consider to be true "broadband" speed. At the same time, it is about ten times as fast as analog dial-up.
Latencies are also pretty high -- as much as 900 ms for the first hop. I'm not sure why this is the case. A stranger problem is that a few web sites, which are accessible from other networks can't even be pinged when I'm connected this way. (I can connect when I connect to my employer's VPN and configure my browser to use their socks server, so it's definitely a problem with Verizon's network.) money.cnn.com shows this problem, but just about everything else works fine. (Regardless, this is almost certainly a routing problem, not something specific to the cellular service.)
I have no idea how this compares to your current satellite service, but hopefully this is of some help. (BTW, the AirPrime PC Card that Verizon uses does work with Linux.)
An example of a contract that is invalid, giving up your right to very intimate privacy such as revealing your nipples and buttcrack to a airport screener in return for being allowed to board.
If that were true, how would Playboy, Penthouse, etc. stay in business? In fact, how would anyone even be able to apply for a credit card?
Only certain rights are "inalienable." Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are specifically mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, but I don't believe that the Constitution (or any of its amendments) specifically identifies any rights as inalienable; that's been left up to the courts.
Actually, they could do that with RHEL (for the same reason that CentOS and other RHEL derivatives can exist). SLES, on the other hand, contains some
non-FOSS components, so maybe Microsoft should buy Novell.
That's the problem. These people are trying to create the impression that there's a controversy when there isn't. There is no scientific controversy about evolution.
Granted, I'm sure that you can find a "scientist" to disagree with me, but the fact is that one can find a "scientist" to defend just about any position. The reality is that evolution simply is not a controversial subject within the scientific community. Thus, creationism has no place in a science class.
It's fine in comparitive religion or philosophy, but it isn't science.
It also reroutes all HTTP traffic through their compressing proxies. That might be nice for publically accessible sites, but it plays hell with VPN access to sites that their servers can't see.
While in this case, I'm all for Spitzer, he has at times seemed a little overzealous in his prosecutions.
Spitzer has stated that this is a deliberate tactic on his part. Since he doesn't have the resources to go after everyone who's engaging in a particular unsavory activity, he tries to really smack down a few of them pour encourager les autres.

I hope they were encrypting their backups. It's only common sense to do that, right?
Actually this could be a very bad idea. Imagine trying to retrieve badly needed data from a 5-year old encrypted tape.
In this case it was data being sent to a credit bureau, rather than a backup, so it most certainly should have been encrypted.
Dude, those require immediate medical attention! Haven't you seen the commercials?
SCO's crack team of lawyers (or should that be "lawyers on crack"?) still haven't won a damn thing!
Given what they've got to work with, I'd say that SCO's lawyers have done a pretty good job just keeping the balls in the air this long.

How low do you suggest?

This is the same IBM that's in the process of laying off 13,000 employees, right?

How is being forced to sit through 15 minutes of previews, many for DVDs that I already own, every time I insert a disc unintrusive?

Ever hear of Lotus Notes?
Yes.
I agree, I think Lucas should remake the first two.
Don't worry. If history is any guide, he will.

Yeah, that whole Santa Claus thing really traumatized me too.

Surprisingly (at least to me), the answer is yes. See http://www.ka9q.net/5220.html.

With infrared, I can use a single remote control.
And?
No mention of an infrared receiver.
I'm still waiting for a manufacturer to make a HTPC case with a built-in infrared receiver.
