Please show me where on the official page it lists "Because it's open source" as a reason for using it. Because, you know, I can't quite find it. In fact I haven't seen anywhere on the site it even mentions "open source" or "OSS". Clearly that is not a selling point they are using.
You know why they don't use the Open Source thing as a selling point? Because corporate enterprise does not give two shits about if a particular app is "Open Source", the only ones who really care are the already-converted. Corporate wants to know that the app does what they need it to do. THATS IT.
A 5 second clip of Bush saying "I Can't Do My Job" doesn't seem very revolutionary... It was actually 1.5 seconds worth of bush.
What's funny is the/. editors essentially ASK for posts like this by posting a story that says "By using simple smil commands in a URL, a CBS news report can become a short clip of George Bush saying "I can't do my job" (the third track on this playlist)".
Then they mod everyone who points out the (obvious) funny "flamebait". More or less a trap that allows The Mods to feel superior.
But you know, "fair use" blaw blaw blaw... Being generally anti IP rights here, there will be all sorts of "justifications" and when Super-Mega News decides to sue, we'll see that story here, too.
The issue is not the word "care", but the word "could".
"could" means a possibility. So, "I could care less" means that while I may not care the most, I don't care the least -- there is still some care left.
"couldn't" means no possibility. So, "I couldn't care less" means the care is either all gone, or at least at a static point -- there is not more care to give.
You them American dirty think that you have all, including Slashdot, but it is just not too. Stick your international hegemony and your McDonalds and your Hollywood where the sun is not shining. Moreover, I am affectionate it it large imper and this Julia Roberts!
Unless you wnat it to be. Filter, forget. Spam IS HERE TO STAY. Fliter it, and forget. If you want to make it you "project" and get all bent about it, well, that's YOUR heart attack. Filter, forget.
Remember: Spammers are completely financially motivated.
Remember, spammers operate outside the system. They could not care less about this or that or the other thing. Get real. Stop wasting your time. Filter it and forget.
The "urban lifestyle" is why I finally bailed on The City and bought a house on 20 acres 3 hours from Seattle.
I'm a City Boy, I know what it's about. If you all want to play that game, joy joy for you.
I miss a lot of things about The City, but so much of it I can do without. Most of it has to do with the fact that people are not neighbors anymore. In The City, you don't know who lives next to you and don't care. If someone breaks into your pad and steals everything, the "neighbors" say "well, I heard something, but hey I just turned the music up". Fuck that shit. Where I live, if you drive down the road looking sketchy, phones ring.
Like all fines that criminals get, this one will make little difference, and Microsoft will never collect.
These law suites are good for victim satisfaction, but will not stop spammers, and in both the large and small of things really have no effect at all on spam.
From Yahoo: Judge Robert C. Jones on Monday denied AutoZone's request to transfer its copyright case with The SCO Group from Nevada to a Tennessee court
According to Groklaw, this is not true. They say the issue of transfer is undecided. That is different than denied AutoZone's request to transfer.
Yeah, well... the difference between $45/month and $0.50/day + $2.00 for Sundays amounts to a pretty significant charge for home delivery. Even assuming a 31 day month with five Sundays, I'd still pay almost as much for home delivery as I'd pay for the paper itself.
Exaclty correct, you are paying about as much for the delivery as the paper, about 50 cents a shot to get it to your door. There's nothing out of line about this, it's a very small amount. What this really says (and a lot of it is the attitude thatcame with your bitch) is that you are CHEAP! 50 cents to get it dropped at your door? BFD!
Well, obviously, with the extra $ for home delivery, you are paying for... home delivery! I'm one of those people that likes to read over the breakfast table (breakfast: now there's a concept that's been going out of style for a few years). Actually, since I read 5 or 6 newspapers a day, I need to get most of them mailed or delivered...
What bothers me is that if we question some edict from The Fuhrer at Homeland Security (we are automatically labels terrorist sympathizers or some such bullshit. Publicly question them and risk having your phone tapped...

Yeh, I'm always missing the boat.

Couldn't care less.
If it'sreal mail that I want, it gets to me. If not, I don't care if you know that I didn't get it, it's trash.
I don't send all the snail mail spammers nice little post cards telling them I didn'tread their crap.
You know yur from Georgia when you have to tell your 13 year old doughter not to smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids.

Good lord people, is this going to end up another ethnocentric American racial thing?
What? You don't speak-a da language? Good lord, how I wish I had been born in Europe.
Blaw, blaw blaw blaw. Blaw blaw, blaw blaw. Blaw-de-blaw. Blaw blaw blaw.

As a geek, I run my own mail server. A "catch all" that goes to /dev/null is great.

I'll tell you what it is: NASA is just a bunch of BIG BABIES. Babies produce amonia. Case closed.

I can't believe I've been on /. since like 1997.
I can't believe you have either.
