Intel followed AMD to DDR, when they were unsuccessful and then had to de-emphasizing rambus and started releasing DDR based chipsets of their own.
IIRC, this is because Intel was locked into a contract with Rambus. As a matter of fact, I think Intel tried to sue VIA because they began making motherboards that used Intel chips with good-n-cheap DDR; something Intel themselves could not do due to that contract with Rambus.
The officer arrived on the scene and was directed by the citizen to Hiibel standing next to a parked truck with his daughter inside.
While I did watch the video, I did not see this and I don't remember it being mentioned at the site. The video is simply the cam in the cruiser. If you haven't seen it, it is not exactly DVD quality =P
I totally agree that he should have been questioned (and probably should have spent the night in jail! He did appear to be intoxicated and belligerent.). My hangup is that I think the cops should have first made sure the woman (his daughter) was OK. After that, they should have asked who she was and what she was doing there and the same from him. I don't think they should have simply asked for ID from him and, when it wasn't produced, arrest him. That sets a very bad precident.

It is your job to comply with the requests of the police officer. In most states, and evidently the one in question, it is an arrestable offense to refuse to give your name to a police officer. He refused and he was arrested.
He never was asked his name. He was never asked what he was doing. He was asked for ID and when he did not produce it he was arrested. Had the proper chain of events taken place he would have no case (if he was asked his name and refused or if he refused to answer any of the cops questions). However, he was never asked who he was and what he was doing. He was simply asked for ID and that my friend is the first step towards a police state.
They had an idea of who he was.
Unless I missed something (and I did RTFA and WTFM-Watched the fine movie) they didn't know who he was. And they never asked.
Otherwise, I agree with most of your post. The guy was belligerent and apparrently drunk and probably needed a night in the gray-bar inn. Just not for not showing an ID.
Go to the site and RTFA. He was not driving. His daughter was. He was not even in the vehicle. He was leaning in the window talking to his daughter. The vehicle was fully off the road and thus legally parked. Hell, the cops never even asked the guy his name. They simply asked for ID and when he did not produce it, they arrested him.
If however, what if YOU wrote a piece of code which fixed the problem, and they took a copy of that piece of code and distributed that code around the world?
Isn't this the basis for Free Software? I am still the expert with regards to that piece of code. I am still the one that will be called when that code needs more functionality or needs to be replaced with something else. That particular program may be very specific in what it does and as such would not be adaptable outside of the company for which I originally wrote it. Not to mention, usually when you do contract work writing code, that code now belongs to whomever you wrote it for. I may be able to copyright it, but generally _all_ rights are transferred to the client.
The fact is that you have taken something for free, which the owner has asked payment for.
I don't agree. Follow this analogy: I go to a customers site as a computer consultant. As I am fixing whatever is wrong, the IT people are there taking notes of everything that I do. Now, I am no longer called when that problem arises. Have they "stolen" something from me or made my services any less valuable? Short answer, no.
I do think that under most circumstances you should pay for your music though.

That would be the spammers who only used the DDOS attack on SCO as a distraction to cover up the backdoor they were installing. It could also stand as a threat to those that oppose them -- "Look at how quickly we can take down a corporation's web site.... be thankful yours is not next."
Yes, we all know that TSG has threatened to sue everyone from George Bush to Jesus Christ, but that doesn't change the fact that they would be fighting against LEGAL PRECEDENT that EXPLICITY prevents the actions they want to go forward with.
Ummm, no. That case was settled out of court and the settlement is sealed. In order to have a legal precedent, the case would have had to complete its rounds in court.
They didn't have to get all 11 GB out over a single period of time.
Even still some of those files are going to be a couple of hundred meg. You are going to see a couple smaller spikes almost as easily as one huge one.
Also art work would be large, so a spike wouldn't be so big.
Huh? Either they download a big file as fast as they can (spike) or they take their time by throttling their connection. Either way, unless the perpetrator hacked the router, the logging server, and everything else on the network, someone should have noticed something.
Who ever did this wasn't dumb. And they knew how illegal it was. Of course they would cover their tracks.
Are you shitting me? MRTG is your friend. It is easy to setup and takes about two seconds to check (depending on how fast your browser is). Unless whoever downloaded all that stuff was very careful not to use more than a smidgeon of bandwidth, the spike would stick out like a sore thumb. Otherwise (in the event of a _very_ slow download) you should notice a connection that has been up for days. Nobody is perfect, but if your job is network admin, this is stuff you *have* to look at at least once a day -- it only takes a couple of minutes of your time.
> Free software is communist? In the good way, yes. Not in the Soviet (bad) way.
You may also point out that in that context you are describing the scientific method which is also communist. However, you may also note that not everything is accepted back (into the community). Only the most innovative/noteworthy solutions actually make it into code. In that respect, I agree 100% with "communism".

I was with you up to point #4. What kind of desktop does Linux need? I use and have been using KDE for a couple of years. It is quite stable now and there is a boat load of apps available for it. I hear the Gnome/Ximian offerings are not only loaded with available apps, but are pretty posh as well although, since I don't use them, I cannot comment on them. In fact, I remember reading on/. very recently that work is being done so that look-n-feel (a.k.a. themes) between these two desktops will soon be interchangeable.
I don't think an entirely new desktop is going to make/break Linux in any way. Now, a modified version of an existing desktop(s) (with changes going back to its respective community, of course!;) would not only be a cost effective (in terms of development time) but 100% customisable (Think desktop branding) solution.
I am 100% with you. The problem is that there are a ton of people who have been developing these tools for quite some time. To ask these people (I am primarily thinking management here...) to learn to *gasp* program is probably a bit much.
Now if it is a company with a big enough IT dept. that can handle the work for them this may not be an issue. However, on their own, most of these people will be reluctant to do so; that is unless you can demonstrate how much more powerful the new tools can be.
