I'd like to see the whole MX suite in crossover. Better yet I'd like to see native Flash authoring tools in Linux. Like that's going to happen. When's the last time Macromedia released a Shockwave Flash plugin for Linux?
Just kidding. But I haven't seen any spyware for Mac OS and such, either. There's no unix spyware probably because computer savvy induviduals who get freakishly pissed-off by spyware isn't the target demographic these companies are looking for. That and *nix users make up, what, 0.5% of the internet community.

The Royal Bank of Canada changed it's name to RBC Finacial Group when it decided to start doing business south of the border (US). Maybe that was to shed their Canadian identity?
Don't hold the actions of ONE company against my country by calling us communists. After all, SCO is an American company...
The great thing about mozilla is that it is open source. Not only that but it follows the XUL application model so it's easily extensible. Here is how you can change the icon yourself. Some chillin icons are here and a faithful extension might be found by clicking here. Go easy on the MozDev server, it's already suicidal.
It's anti-compeditive to not allow the use of tradmarked terms by compeditors. People (everyone) need to start thinking with their heads and not their lawyers.
In other news: Microsoft sues Redhat for cutting into it's market share.
By doing so, a distributed storage system could be placed on millions of computers worldwide, in a sort of SETI@home-like setup, and users could donate a tiny chunk of their hard drive to help scientific research or student projects or whatever, where the people using the storage can't afford to pay for it. What's 50 megs, or 100, or 200, in today's hard drives anyway? People could easily "donate" the unused space on their drives and never feel a difference.
And my hard drive starts smoking and you lose some important data. Or I stop paying for internet access. (Blasphemy!)
And they managed to squeeze all their previous patchs into only 105KB and release it for unsupported versions 95 & 98. I'm proud to agree to a EULA with a corperation like Microsoft!
One good method of defeating software patents is to devalue the software itself. A good way to do this is to provide exceptional, open software products like Linux, OOo, and Mozilla. When the software is free and of good quality it's (monetary) value will decrease and software patents themselves will no longer have value or use.
Of coarse that will completely remove capitalism's compeditive drive for innovation and (eventually) slow down progress. If only there was a happy middle-ground here...
I have to agree with that statement. IP and software patents are beginning to restrict what a person can invent, innovate, and even think. And the right to freedom of thought is something everyone is entitled to.
Consider this: Billy-Bob invents a great new dohicky that is very useful. Unfortunatly, he doesn't have the resources to practically implement it. Now, ten years later, Joe-Jack (who has never heard of Billy-Bob or his invention) invents a very similar dohicky that performs the same function. But this time he has the resources to practically implement and market it. So, just because Billy-Bob has proof of prior art (or even a patent), he has the right to sue the shirt off Joe-Jack. Sounds pretty unjust to me.

A good logo but I think it needs some revision.
Shouldn't historians be recording history instead of making it? Wouldn't his recollection be baised?

The funny thing about humans is they always feel the need to point out the obvious.
Is there *nix spyware?
Why not?
Just give me a minute...

This looks like an issue for the courts.

That being said, does anyone else think using XML in a filesystem is a horrible way to go?
Maybe not. XML is structured in a similer way as a filesystem heirarchy, which could probably prove useful.

Thanks a lot. Now I a sausage stuck in my driver's side door lock. You know how embarrassing that is to explain to the wife?!

Software patents will soon see their death.

CMIIW, but dosen't Safari use KHTML, the same rendering agent used by Konquerer?
NCO Group... SCO Group...
I wonder what else is laying in the vault. Maybe we can see that stuff Mickey did to get through film school.
This seems too revolting to be true. It also seams unlikey that our neighbourhood recording industry association would prey on a little girl.
Maybe it's just propaganda to encourage others to settle quickly.[/conspiracy]
