With a company in as bad shape as Amiga now-a-days, whether it wins or loses the lawsuit, its still sunk. The legal costs of a corporate lawsuit are extraordinary, and many small companies have been sunk by larger ones simply by being sued with no ability to pay for their defense.
So Amiga wins. What then? They have no money left to sue ADA to get any of their money back. What then? Amiga is left in a big hole, and off go all its better employees to work at TransMeta. The worse ones go off and work at Loblaws.
That's a juvenile and low tactic by a company against another. It is tantamount to FUD,except that it has none of F, U or D in it...it is just a microsoft-like anti-competition ploy.
though to give them a little credit, google is properly linked.:)
So this is where the practical advantages of the French language shine through, with the College Francaise or whatever the French Language Police are called outside Quebec. That way, thee is One True Authority (tm) on the language. In English? We have that funny yankee spelling (color anyone?) and True English Spelling(tm)...but now i'm suffering tangentitis again (also a new word:))
Now if we can just get BSD to mix with Linux in a huge cooperative movement to make the super OS (read: BSD's quality with Linux's compatibility ( making FreeLSD?:) ), we'll make progress.
Well, yeah, I've been using logitech mice as long as i have been using gpm.:) Logitech seems to make damm good mice. But as far as I can tell, they don't have a massive r&d budget to come up with creative new mice. (could be wrong tho...often am)
So do you think Microsoft should pull out of the software market and concentrate on their superior hardware?:)
IIRC, Microsoft came out with a light-operated mouse similar to the one on Sun's SPARC and called it their own. Everyone sure noone has come up with this before?
Just what we always needed. Next thing you know we will have a mouse that detects where you _want_ to go. And if you actually move the mouse in a direction other then this predicted direction, a paperclip will come up and inform you that the mouse has travelled in the wrong direction.
No. I have had two successful relationships with geek females. One unsuccessful relationship with a non-geek, and that's my sum total. I have no patience for stupid people (arrogantly assuming i'm not dense) and as such, geek girls are perfect matches for me. Separation only by distance with no end in sight to the separation is all that killed my most recent relationship.
Like that's going to work. Lets identify troubled people because we have absolutely no record on them. No one talks about them. No one sees them. Hear no evil, speak no evil. This software will probably identify a large number of people like us as potential problems, when geeks - in general - are among the least violent people i've ever met. Arrogant, maybe. Violent, no.
Then next thing you know, being identified by this will be 'probable cause'.

I think we should all go over to The Media Foundation, a group that has been tr/ying to fight corporations for a few years and whose magazine, adbusters, won this year's magazine of the year for 1999 from the Canadian National Magazine Awards. The magazine is more interesting then the website, but their campaigns are very interesting to those of us who hate being in the rich people's casino.

Yeah its good. Wakes me up in the morning:)
crontab calls/root/lightflash which flashes my desklamp, and turns on my speakers - to add an air raid siren:) - and a police cherry light (rotating red) on my shelves flashes. You don't wake up to that you're probably dead.:)

Hmm...
in the last few years lego has added all kinds of specialised pieces slowly reducing the potential level of creativity by having more and more larger pieces with specific purposes. Now with robo-lego, we can expect to be very much like some familiar software. You can do lots of cool stuff with it, but your imagination is more or less limited to the imagination of the people who developped the system, and with only one or two sets you will not be able to build a completey creative model. Though until I can control it through my firecracker its no good anyway:)
I'd guess someone some time has choked on them. Notice that warning labels never show up until someone has done something that is listed on the label....
Though I personally prefer to make BFGs out of my lego pirate ship, using the mast bases as heavy ship guns:)

It was good while it lasted, but we eventually drifted apart. As do most early high school relationships. We were together a good while though.
