It's about time some decisions start being taken. This has gone on far too long, SCOX has ridden this much further than they ever should have, and it's time to pay the devil his due. Daimler-Chrysler is effectively over and AutoZone temporarily stayed.

Digital Priracy Killed Warner Music?

Microsoft Eyeing AOL?

This sets AOL apart from its former sister division, Warner Music, which was recently sold off amid a steep decline in its performance due to digital piracy.
Really? "Digital piracy" and not lousy music and prices that are unrealistic killed Time Warner Music? I'm just astounded that an erstwhile journalist would make such a remark so offhandedly, as if it were undoubtedly true and imminently self-evident.
They announce a stock repurchase plan just as their stocks begins to tumble. This might prop up their stock price, but not for long, and it won't do anything either to deter an SEC investigation or, in the bigger picture, hold up the house of cards that is the SCO lawsuit.
Interesting article, and I'm not surprised that electronic voting raises as many issues in India as it does in the United States, albeit that some of the issues are different.
My favorite quote, though, was:
"Some of them were thrilled to punch the machines. I have seen so many happy villagers."
I don't know about you, but it's not the voting machines I usually want to punch -- it's the dratted politicians.
All Infinium needs to do is show the goods. HardOCP has repeatedly offered to retract factual inaccuracies provided Infinium identifies what the inaccuracies are. As it is, they're threatening to sue because someone called their bluff.
...the mormon religion does not condone plural marriage. If you take part in a plural marriage, you are excommunicated.
Strictly speaking, this is true. Plural civil marriages are, indeed, against the law. But you didn't tell the whole story. A man may marry one woman in a temple marriage -- they are then married for time and eternity. If he later divorces the first wife in a civil proceeding (no matter how un-civil divorce might be), he is not required to divorce her in a temple ceremony. Yet, he can still marry his next wife in the temple (for time and eternity) -- thus, the LDS church permits plural marriage.
It's deceptive when a report pretends to be local but isn't. ClearChannel aren't the only media company that does this, of course, nor is radio the only medium that does this. Ever wonder how three nightly news reports on three different channels manage to have precisely the same background image for a "live" report from [insert news hotspot here]?
So, the spammer sub-life forms start inserting filter-foiling gibberish, which has various effects:
Foils anti-spam filters - obviously, this sucks
Makes it easy to detect visually - this bites if you don't even want to see spam
Makes the spam itself hard to read - and the downside of this is?
[insert favorite misfeature here]
It occurs to me, though, that if spam gets hard to read, no one reads it. If no one reads it, spam ceases to work. If spam ceases to work, spammers are out of work (sniff -- not!).
So when spam becomes so convoluted to get past anti-spam systems, it will become too convoluted to work. We can only hope.
Right. Only in Redmond's newspeak. This from the same company wanting freedom to innovate while at the same time pushing embrace and extend. I suppose that at Microsoft, objective, third-party information means information that only tells the story we want it to tell. Bah.
Rambus, Inc.'s misbehavior is well-known, so Micron is hardly alone here. If Micron is guilty of collusion, the pregnant question is, "With whom were Micron colluding?"
Perchance to be called the Christmas Release or the Christmas Kernel? Loads o' kernel goodness, to be sure. A brand new kernel to run on my brand new (Christmas-present-to-myself) Athlon.
"Trusted email" and "Yahoo!" should not be mentioned in the same sentence, except perhaps to say that these two things should not be mentioned in the same sentence.
Russell Doupnick, the state's deputy chief information officer, rejected Rubin's call for full disclosure of the SAIC report. He said officials did not want to provide "a road map to intrude into the system."
Software is software is software. Hiding the source or failing to disclose fully the nature of the flaws doesn't make it more secure. Most of here take this as a given.

The DDoS attack itself is wrong but I have to admit that DoubleClick is a perfect target.

Actually, it was the Royal Bank of Canada that changed the terms of the deal back in December 2003. But, what's a detail like that among friends?

Talk about not knowing when to shut up!
is nothing but the most transparent soundbyte of marketing spin. I'd be moving my data off their systems today.

For a minute there, I thought Darl might learn something at Harvard. Silly me. What was I thinking?
Yes, except Swiss cheese tastes better and is less filling.
I wonder if any of that "technology" means lawsuits for theft of service or DMCA violations?

Not just with open source.
That would be "GNU/Fedora", methinks.
