I played it for about three hours, realized that I was being led along by the nose and that I just didn't seem to care about Link anymore after the myriad of oh-so-similar adventures and haven't turned it on since. Zelda was actually the reason I bought the Wii. Glad to see there are other games that look like they have the same potential I wished Zelda had actually realized.

So they should pack up and go home? Not find a solution to the fact that they're late in the game? I don't get it (I'm not trying to be argumentative. Just trying to understand the comment.) Does Windows have an incremental backup solution that doesn't involve a third-party? I don't do Windows administration so I have no idea if it does or doesn't.
I couldn't tell from the article, but which intellectual property is MS saying open source solutions are infringing on? Or am I misunderstanding the issue?

Funny you mention this. I have a copy of XP that I've installed on different machines which I've then wiped. I had it on a PC and had to reinstall it (yeah, I know: Image it first) and then said to hell with the box and installed it via Parallels. When I had to reinstall Parallels and tried to activate XP, a screen popped up which informed me that, according to MS' records, I had exceeded the number of times the product could be activate (I don't know if that means needing to reinstall on the same box or if you're allowed to install it on X number of other computers you use at home.) Regardless, I called the number provided on the screen and informed the operator that I wasn't using it on any other machines but the one I was interested in installing it on. She asked me to confirm that I was only going to use it on the one machine and then she gave me a new activation number. It wasn't the standard 16-digit one (or however long it is) but more like 16 characters. I thought it was an interesting way of dealing with it, and quiet different than the stories I had heard about a single hardware upgrade nullifying you ability to use the OS you had already bought.
So silly question: Is there a way to take the next step and have pre-determined words be used to have the documents auto-populate a wiki? (i.e. the documents go in and the links automatically exist between the wiki pages.)
As far as I can tell, this is marked troll and the parent flamebait because it speaks of Apple in a bad light. I'm as big an Apple fanboy as anyone (five+ macs at home and have been using them for years) but that doesn't change the fact that Apple is in the wrong here. What's wrong with Cyberworm saying so?
(And here comes the mark-me-downs...)
You know, despite the fact that you're right and that just about any sane person will agree with you (myself included) you're bound to be moderated down and accused of being whomever the poster is that everyone says is a leftist bleeding heart (or whatever they call him. I frankly have no idea/care who posts what.) I'm actually amazed that the story wasn't filed under Your Rights Online. I'm as willing as anyone to admit that the loss of freedoms that have occurred over the past few years is angering, disgusting and frightening. But believe it or not, there are times when a quick response is needed. I haven't read all of the comments, but I'm sure a reference to Jean Charles de Menezes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Charles_de_Menezes/ has either happened or is just a click away.
... to flat out call these guys ironic douchebags. It's amazing the lengths they're willing to go and the hypocrisy of they're actions. I'm constantly amazed by the complete lack of forethought, of _good_ planning that goes into just about any issue involving alleged piracy, no matter how tenuous the link to such might be. Once again, "they just don't get it."
You're 100% on with everything that you've said, but you skimmed over a key point: The reason VRML was hot with the public was because of the term "virtual reality." The public had no idea what that meant, other than Star Trek Holodeck stuff and (although it came before) Matrix-like stories and movies. When/If reality matches up with the SciFi version of Virtual Reality then things like 3D TV will add a lot to the experience. Until then, its only use is as a gimmick at a COMDEX booth...
OK, so not entrapment, but what about violating FTC laws if they lied on their charter of incorporation (is that the term of the paperwork compiled for incorporate a company?)

Usually a nice cheese ;)
I'd like to transition from "pokes" to "jabs" ... ;)
... letting them know what I thought of them, but then I realized I'd get in trouble: I'm sure they've copyrighted the term, "Dumbass."

I guess that means they won't approve my "One-Click to submit a comment" patent application ... :)
Wait! Don't pick it up! They'll drop the price in two months ... ;)

Not to worry. The platters are round and hold digital media. The RIAA is bound to get involved somehow ...
For some reason I'm reminded of the M*A*S*H episode, "Five O'clock Charlie" -
Radar: Are you One?
Hawkeye immediately throws his hand on his hip and with a touch of foppishness replies:
Hawkeye: Yes, are you?

Chiefbutz, you are a madman.When you stole that cow, and your friends tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy.

Please. I prefer, "President of the fan club ..." ;)

Is this a story because of who made the claim? If not, this story is nearly two years old: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11/29/cybercrime/
