Why oh why won't sco try this in the UK I would love to see the press reaction to this they would tear SCO and McBride apart.
I don't mean to say that the papers have a clue about computers they would have a go at them just because it was an American company trying to sue UK one's
Ah yeh This is a mcbride not as dangerous as is claimed but they get really cranky when you start talking about there IP. Now what im going to do is install Linux on my laptop got to do this carefully or it could really piss him off.
I just... don't.. get it. How the hell can SCO just keep going after these random people? And what are they trying to do? Threaten them into buying licenses to shit they don't own? That's the only way they are going to be making money anyhow.
That's the American way doesn't matter if your product exists as long as you can make money out of it
Something similar to this on tomorrows world (science programme for Non UK/.ers) about 5 years ago, in that "game" you had to get a square that was moving around the screen to stay inside another square. It wasn't for entertainment but for people who epileptic fits. The theory was if they can learn to control the square it would help them learn to control the effect and severity of there fit's

It is not my belief that we are required to tell them that we logged the fact that they clicked "I'm Sorry. I Promise Never to Do it Again."
To take someone's information (you don't even have to post it) and keep it is ilegal IANAL but it is my job to make sure my employer is compliant with this. If I were you I would stay away from the UK and Europe you could end up in jail for up to 5 years.
I would also stress that this information is harmless to them as we proved only that they downloaded a file with the same name as a crack...nothing that poses any kind of threat at all to them.
Kapersky has flagged it as a Trojan, though I still stand firm in my belief that this is in no way a Trojan as it does nothing even slightly malicious
since when has virus or Trojan have to be malicious? Years ago there was a virus call Venezuela that was far less malicious than what your Trojan does (it raised a little Venezuelan flag played there national anthem and that was it you were never bothered by it again). Your programme acts like a Trojan thus it is a Trojan payload is irrelevant
You are using the same means software pirates use to get back at them, Mr. Malone. Now, unless you are Sean Connery in The Untouchables, that ain't legal.
and malone got tricked by a guy with a knife into getting shot he went to the morgue and sent no one to the hospital
Is there anything MS could do, while being a monopoly, that slashdotters would think is "fair?"
It would be hard for them to be more accepted, most of what they do is fairley standard buisness practice but from a large it has a big impact. Hence the dislike that is felt by them for some, they need to be more aware of the impact they have i.e being slow to fix windows vulnrebilities
The reason I bring up the whole "fair" thing is because people throw that word around in a very selfish manner, which is totally against any meaning of "fair" there is. Most people here who whine that something isn't fair are complaining that they are not getting something they want, or some group they are associated with, or some company they support, are actually forced to play by the same rules everyone else plays by, and somehow that's not "fair".
I see what you say i suppose it's a bit like one mans terrorist being another mans freedom figter, most people see things from there one perspective exclusivly.
Being find is a lot diffrent to being made to open source your product. The only time windows being opened sourced has been discussed has been by journalists and here on slashdot as a possibility that some of it might be. Even the fine is not certain for all we know they could be slapped on the wrists and told not to be so naughty, wait for something to actually happen before commenting.
To waive the ruling, Monti asked Microsoft to commit not to distort competition by bundling peripheral software programs to Windows in the future. Microsoft, it would appear, declined.
so microsoft have admited they will continue to abuse there monopoly. I say fine them hard and fine them everyday that they don't bring out a lite windows after all that's what microsoft want done to Lindows.
Re:OK so they get fined and told how to distribute

Microsoft and EU Talks End
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
Who thinks this will REALLY change anything? That MS will go a little bit more restricted in how media stuff is installed from a start, but they'll keep on doing the same old crap in every other part of their dealings with the EU
that's why they want the strong precident so they go after MS again and again until they play fair (or they go bankrupt wwhich lets face it is more likley than them playing fair)
After all, everyone wants a cell phone, why not get an added feature for just a $$ more.
I don't and i had one for a while but got rid of it and i know im not alone. It's mainly because they have been persuaded that they need one that people want one, when they get it they realise it's not actually all that much use to them especially for the cost of using one.

Yes i did...... Hmmm now i remember that was when i had the dream that i was Linus..... Damn Damn Damn
and malone got tricked by a guy with a knife into getting shot he went to the morgue and sent no one to the hospital
Umm both at least here in the UK that's the case, i know the US Gov dosen't care about individual people so wouldn't know about that.
These 2 are annoyed at Piracy so they do something illegal themselves I hope they get punished hard for being hypocrites

Yes it's mega maid come to take our air.
Probably saving for a slow news day
More so you can't sue the actual people responsible but instead have to sue the company
They should integrate it with this for a really cool bit of technology.

please provide and example of where the EU has confiscated someones property rights
the main problem is there abuse of being a monopoly not the actual monopoly it self.
Ok, I'm just ranting now. Cheers
There's nothing like a good old rant it helps keep the blood pressure down.
I can't wait for the pureitan side of america to find that out or govener scwarzenegger
