I always thought the approach was bundling it with Windows and then making it moderately better. Of course I also believe that Real is doing this because they are losing. In this case I really wouldn't mind if the judge got ticked and fined them both.
Have you ever tried to remove it from Windows 9x or 2k? Also, if you install WMP9 on 9x you can't uninstall it. It's easier to remove BonziBuddy. Maybe Spybot Search and Destroy should consider removing it also...
>> Hmm, don't like that, it would be better to redirect it to someplace harmless like http://127.0.0.1
Don't bother. I'm so 31337 that I just hacked that 127.0.0.1 loser... In a minute someone should be noticing their root file system missing.... Heheheh
Hmmmm.... That's funny.... Where'd my MP3's go......
Yeah. That or they already said they won't release any new patches during the month of December. This way, even though there is a bug, they can later boast an entire month without any new security patches (of course, they'll be careful in wording.)
>> These days, 99% of people dumping Word for Latex are either doing it for political reasons or because they've lead a sheltered life and don't want to learn the Microsoft way.
You're sheltered if you don't want to learn "The Microsoft Way"? I must ask which set of us really is sheltered. Us, or the people who Microsoft is sheltering from the World?
And maybe if they didn't intentionally try to make their code hard to understand it would get better too...
In making their code hard for anyone without the documentation to understand they make it hard for their own developers to keep secure code.
No problem. Glad to help the global neighbors. Now if someone would consider taking some "artist" off our hands, I'm sure we could work out some kind of compensation....
>> Furthermore, a delay of 6+ years is presumptively unreasonable, shifting the burden to the plaintiff to show a legitimate excuse for the delay in filing suit.
Maybe they were using a 4x-2x-24x drive to save all their data....

I'm stuck with a 5 year old computer:
* Pentium 3/450 MHz
* 576 MB RAM
* Diamond Viper V550 (TNT) PCI 16 MB
Plus a 32 MB AGB TNT2 card purchased 2 months ago. If my other half didn't have a shoe fettish or jewellery obsession, I would be running with more clicks.
Beat this -- I'm connecting to slashdot via Bongo drum. Beat that! So there! HA!
No, you missed it. He secretly works for Microsoft on the side as a software developer and is in the process of trying out the "Microsoft Windows Nukem Forever beta". We all know that the next version of Windows will take a heck of a machine to run. Microsoft Windows Nukem Forever, beware!

And then you've got that guy who codes kernels during movies....

Uh...... Yeah.... I have no doubt the Department of Microsoft^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HJustice will try and "fix" the situation.
I can see it now... "Microsoft Windows XP Professional / Home / Media Center Source.torrent" ....
Oh no... by further infurance, since SCO owns Linux and linux is BSD, then SCO owns BSD. BSD is Windows, Apple and Linux...
Oh no.... All my software are belong to SCO!
I'm sorry. I didn't know you had it that bad up there.

Technically, isn't this what companies do when they put data on the retail disks?
Also, 'Recordable CDROM accessing system', couldn't that also be the act of reading a CD-R
One more thing, isn't there a law against sitting on a patent and waiting? Wouldn't that kick it into the public domain?
