Maybe they are planning on using it as the basis of their damages amount... 10,000 people downloaded it, so our software has been damaged 10,000 times, so we demand $xx.xx for each of the 10,000 copies....
Sounds weak to me too, but it's the most logical use for the log files that I can come up with.

Wrong! I'm running the app right here in front of me. It clearly displays the Admin and deputy passwords, which will let anyone bypass the protection....

Actually, I bet it's to make sure that people need to keep paying the makers of Cyber Patrol for new/updated lists every couple months. If the format is public and easily read/written, then someone could publish a free list of domains for use with the software.

Get real. China and Russia are probably doing a lot more damage to the US by stealing technology than by stealing military secrets.
As a long-time Delphi developer, I'll be incredibly annoyed if they don't continue to improve what I think is the best Windows development tool out there.
At the same time, I'm hoping and waiting for Kylix (Delphi for Linux) to hit the streets. It'll be nice to have modern development tools for Linux. For some more info about Kylix, check this link out
Borland's development tools are awesome. I just hope Corel doesn't manage to screw it up.
Has anyone seen any kind of statement from Inprise/Borland that they are going to continue producing Windows development tools? I'd love to go 100% linux today, but I'm not going to be able to get all my customers to leave windows anytime soon. And until they do, I'll be using Delphi to build windows apps. I wonder what this is going to Delphi/C++ Builder support of Microsoft "standards". The recent addition of ADO support to Delphi has really helped performance of MS SQL database apps. And the ISAPI support is really good too.
If what I read about the etoys lawsuit was correct, one of their reasons for finally dropping it was due to pressure from their investors.
Maybe this will effect the MPAA companies stock values the same way, at least a little bit. Maybe that will make someone realize this battle isn't worth fighting.

I can understand the difficulty of supporting both x86 and Alpha, but support for the AMD (being x86) is much simpler.
The lack of AMD support would seem to be purely due to intel's influence.

Does anyone remember hearing about the original press release for Visual Basic 5.0, Control Creation Edition?
It included a list of upcoming publications that included VB5 CCE. One of the books was
* "Visual Basic 5.0 Client/Server How-To," Buck Forland, Waite Group Press

come up with anything new or original either!
That one seems to be gone.

After a discussion via email with the reviewer
at the capalert site, this item was removed from the list.
But he still feels that Hollywood deserves it's
share of the blame for kid's negative behavior.
In the "CapAlert" review, here's one of the things
that makes it a bad movie:
> blaming parents for character of children
Oh no, not that. It's much easier to blame SP!
