Incredibly good point...
It would be like your phone company sending a bill to everyone that you call... If you are already supposed to be paying for the entire call, what right do they have to charge someone else for the same call?
I'd be tempted as a consumer to try to sue BellSouth for at least part of the cost of my DSL, since apparently I'm not supposed to be paying the entire cost of my connection - apparently the content providers are paying some of it - sounds like a simple case of over-billing!
2 slices of the cake indeed.
No need to worry about the IP address, you could simply be forced to give your location upon connecting to the service, along with a nice big warning: failure to give the correct location will mean 911 emergency services will be unable to locate you.
In reality these are BROADBAND phone services, most people are using them only from one location, using their broadband connections at home... while they can be used in multiple locations in theory, i doubt that 99% of people are going to use these things in more than 2 locations maximum... location profiles anyone? if dial-up networking can do it why not the VOIP software? all you need is configurable profiles setup with your location/address which is given to the VOIP provider at sign-on/connect... if you're at work... select the "at work" profile, and on sign on it gives that address for use with 911 service.... if at home you select "at home"...
Am I just seeing this too simply?
Am I missing something? if they are giving complete copies of the changed files.... is it not possible just to run Diff to see what the changes were between versions?
Thats what you would have had to have done in the days before CVS...
Not ideal... but you can hardly blame apple for doing the absolute minimum they are obliged to!
Perhaps instead of whining and complaining they should accept the fact apple is going to do the least it can, and work with/around it...
I do hope I'm missing something
How can you hope to get a trademark on someone else's well-known product? especially when you compete in the same industry.
Is American trademark law really as bad as it's patent law? Surely not! I hope not!
What's next? Is Microsoft going to go and trademark "Linux" to control it's (miss-)use?
Perhaps the MAME people should apply for the trademark also - I'm sure the law MUST favor someone who actually has a long-term (well known) product with the name being trade-marked...
Not only does this help remove the need for men...

But I would have thought that it also removed the possibility of men being produced by this method...
I'm not a biology nerd, so I might be completely wrong, but I just can't see where the 'Y' chromasome would come from in order to be able to make a boy!
Yeah! what insensitive clods!
Come on grandma - way to go for reading Slashdot - but you missed an obvious insensitive clod joke ?
They just don't make... erm wait - never mind.
How about Bochs ? that emulates the x86 processor etc too, and is supposed to run quite well on multiple platforms... last i heard it was open source too...
Don't you need to be over 18 or something to be sued ? or are they sueing her parents for not preventing her actions ?
If this is actually possible (for a large corporation to be able to sue a minor) then perhaps the US Legal system is almost as crazy as the RIAA...
Is that, provided you have the ability, then you don't have to sit around and wait for someone else to fix the problems in the programs you use...
Still, politics aside, perhaps with more applications like this freely available, perhaps more bugs will actually be fixed - rather than relying on security through obscurity - sitting tight and hoping no-one notices...

Somehow I doubt this will become available on hyper-transport 3...
I really can't see it being that kind of socket!
For now why dont you just stick with your 'Current Solution' and stop dreaming that you need all that extra 'Bandwidth'

His girlfriend is made of latex - you insensitive clod!
Come on... some of us like to work in terms of geological time...

Why not visit sitefinder and DDOS...erm i mean Slashdot... it instead... Sure would be one way to solve the problem...
