One reason why they aren't comparable is because the average person who walks into an Apple Store will be looking for something from Apple already - it's preaching to the converted. I think it goes without saying that that's not how it is at Wal-Mart.
Do printed software manuals count as paperbacks? If so, you may want to take a look at the GNU Free Documentation License (Google cache, because www.gnu.org is seemingly down at the moment?)
I was planning on compiling a 2.4.22 kernel myself tonight (actually my first time compiling a new kernel...) After reading that it is supposedly SCO-free, I only want to do it more.
... and it seemed to identify some things. However, as the article says, there is much that could possibly be in the code that violates copyrights that couldn't be picked up by something such as that. Honestly, how do you compare something like that? Sure, you could have a group of real humans compare the code, but that will be subjective... certainly whoever compares it is going to be looking at things from their own point of view. The problem is, there are very few neutral people towards this issue that would know how to compare such a thing. (Arguably, there are just as few on SCO's side:-)
This article really shows why it is time for the DMCA to go. Anyone who happens to create any sort of device that someone figures out a way to use it to circumvent anything can be sued under the DMCA. (See also the Sklyarov incident.) Remember when someone discovered that you could use a Sharpie to circumvent the copy protection on a CD? Manufacturers/programmers/whatever should never be responsible for what anyone does outside the intended uses.
VeriSign stated that Internet users had visited the page more than 40 million times in the last three weeks.
"The service has been well received by millions of Internet users who appreciate getting navigation tools as opposed to the 'dead end' of an error message," VeriSign's Lewis said in the statement.
Of course, it's considered "well received" because of its 40 million hits... that 99% of which were not intentional. (Of course, the only ones who would actually go somewhere like that intentionally would be us Slashdotters... have to see what all the buzz is about:)
Is telemarketing "well received" because 40 million people actually pick up the phone? (regardless of whether they hang up or not)
I don't consider it so weird. First of all, the patch is still considered beta (and if you frequent their forums, you will see people who it hasn't fixed the problem for - I don't think anyone's crashing anymore, but some still can't connect.) Also, from what I see there wasn't really a patch per se submitted to Gaim by Cerulean - more like a quick doc on the "new" protocol.
Whoa. The beta still works?!
Here's a bit of background info... some you might know, some you might not.
Trillian 2.0 was released back on September 10th. Trillian 2.0 RC3 had come out within the last 48 hours (can't remember exactly when). After RC3 came out, Yahoo started sending the YahooMessengerTeam upgrade notices that you might have seen. Because of this, the Trillian development team made a quick change in the final version just before they were going to release it. This pushed back the release a good two-three hours. Anyway, they updated the final to the latest protocol. The beta isn't on the latest protocol, and from what I remember seeing, it wasn't supposed to work at all after the "upgrades." However, if it really still works, I've got a lot of people who will like to know it.

I'm assuming that by "legal" he meant that he wanted to know whether it was legal for use in the competition.
Okay, that's fine. It was an honest question... I'm not exactly a finance expert.
Then what is this about?

Will these be the remastered versions of the original trilogy that were released in the 90s, or will these be the "true" originals?
Yep, Trillian 2.0 came with MSNP9 (the MSN6 protocol) support built in. There are now patches for Trillian .74 and Trillian 1.0 to add this support.
How will this make a difference in light of the DNC list? It's just as easy to put your cell phone number on the list...
They don't use SD cards yet, I don't think... but I think that Panasonic will be coming out with an adapter that will allow you to use them.
Personal photos and video take up a lot of room, last time I checked.
That is true. However, with most commercial software these days, they seem to be one and the same :-)

Unfortunately, he didn't get modded anywhere - apparently his karma is good enough for the +1 bonus? I hope someone fixes that...

Looks dead to me, now. I haven't blocked it... and something tells me that my ISP (RoadRunner) wouldn't have, especially this late in the game.

Apparently their mailserver doesn't even try to send mail... it just assumes that anything it sees should be bounced.
I don't think the ranting makes the point void. I think the ranter makes it void.
Another fine advantage of ROMs: your money gets you free plays for life, not just one game.

That would never hold up in a court. That's why.
Hm. Another river. Sound familiar?
Thanks a lot - I hadn't seen that yet. /me runs off to inform the IRC people
