Didn't AOL say when they pulled it that it was still their proprietary software and that it had been released without its OK? That the GPL license was null and void?
Via can't give away something it doesn't have rights to any more than Justin could.
I'm sure this, in fact, does make Steve Jobs the happiest man in the world right now. Almost as happy as Bill Gates when Hotmail switched to WinServer and died for a few days.
ALL of the cable TV and satellite providers need to start giving me and you, the consumer, a better way to get the channels we want at the prices we want.
I'd love to see a carte blanche system but it will never in our lifetime. Still, something where there are like 20 5-channel groups for me to pick out my channels would be awesome. They could charge me 3$-5$ per group and we'd all be happy.
No steering is going to avert the danger if I climb as high as I can and then gun it for the nearest populated landmark. Hell I can even turn the ignition off to countermand the system, right?
The Space Shuttle is like my old Geo Metro. Disposable. You drive it until it can drive no more. Of course, the Geo didn't take out 7 people when its time was up.
The Independent Florida Alligator, the student newspaper, called the use of Icarus 'an invasive and annoying system that further deters students from living in dorms
One could argue that the school is only operating within the boundries of protecting ITS network from virii and lawsuits, it doesn't hurt that the students get protected from these as well. A little tough love never hurt anyone. We live in a technological rich world, some people have no idea what their machine is doing, maybe this will enlighten a few of them.
Maybe prior art searches will improve once the USPTO moves into the new two million square foot USPTO campus, which includes five interconnected buildings, a twelve-story atrium, a landscaped two-acre park, and a museum."

The brain drain is happening and there are many factors.
Schools, the drug culture, politics and parents just not giving a shit. Luckily I live only 3 hours from Canada if things get too out of hand.
Clowns Are Overwhelming TiVo? That really freaked me out for a minute.
I can't believe this made slashdot. If I switch my personal PC from linux to windows will that be /. worthy?
I guess if you submit it, they will come.

but his two previous articles about EDS/NMCI and the US Navy were much more interesting.

Has a story on this as well.
Is a "plaugerist" anything like a plagiarist?
You'd have to be pretty monopolistic to have the Japanese consider you a monopoly!
Also has a story on this. The kicker is it all rhymes!
Ummm, why the .42?
I remember a year or two ago The End's morning DJ got reprimanded by the station for abusing the NFL's superbowl trademarks. Stupid jerks.
Garbage in. Garbage out.

You can 'almost' see them in the second picture down on the right, the pic of the harddisk [sic] on the 'second floor'.
Strikes again! It's probably in between the Batmobile and Wonder Woman's invisible jet.
This is not "Stuff that matters". At least not front page /. stuff.
There's also my C64, Atari 2600, NES and SNES. I'm thinking a Dreamcast may be my next console.

As a good blacklist? They are notoriously difficult to get off if you find yourself on the wrong end of their 'mission'.
That's a long time to wait to "hit it".
The lawyers are going to make money, both parties are considering an appeal.
