How long is "pretty long" for you? I have a powerbook g4 that never gets much more than 2 to 2.5 hours of life on a full charge. Compare that to my thinkpad (centrino) that averages 4.5 to 5 hours.
The machine that was hacked was in the PhotoID Office and it was a Windows machine. Based on the bahaviour it was exhibiting, that is- it was scanning other machines to infect, it may have only been a worm and this whole story has been somewhat sensationalized. It may have been oblivious to the fact that data existed on the machine.
The fact that the machine may have been unpatched reflects poorly on University Administration (ITU) but not on the CS or IT programs.

This doesn't even consider the poison pill provisions allowing PeopleSoft clients refunds if Oracle buys PeopleSoft.
fyi..
The poison pill provisions are separate from the refunds. The "poison pill" allows them to release more common stock to make it very costly for Oracle to gain a majority share. The refunds were something they implemented to allow their customers to get their money back if the takeover goes through.. which was to help their current sales and again to be an additional deterrent to Oracle.

I don't think he is suggesting that the copyright beomes invalid if not enforced. He is just stating that the copyright holder has to be a party to its enforcement in order to support charges of infringement.
He is just making a very good point, that this is just to get the DoJ to pay for the RIAA's legal bills. The DoJ will just be able to bring charges on behalf of the RIAA (copyright holders).

Actually, their auditors recomended they restate their earnings, and they did.
