"...the only way that tech companies can innovate and still survive is to defend their intellectual property..."
Most people are (ab)using intellectual property in order to stifle inovation(Wright bros, Edison, Robert Fulton to name some of the more famous ones). It's nice to see the big boys fight this out amongst themselves...good entertainment.
"...the owners of the company can tell the fund managers to go straight to hell, and there ain't a damn thing the fund managers can do about it."
They can take their "ball" (money) and go home. I'm not sure what Google can do after the investers demand their money back if it is already spent on other "investments".
"The increased focus on security will be good not only for the average user who does not spend much time thinking about security her system, but also for 'power users' and those who work supporting end users." What?...you try trying to kill my job??

"But I highly doubt there is another intelligent lifeform out there."
Hell, I'm still looking for intelligent lifeforms here on earth.
"The FAA is also considering trained monkeies to replace the crew." Actually, they're going to put a dog in the co-pilot's seat. He's there to bite the pilot's hand if he attempts to touch any of the controls.
"This is not a bad thing. In the end, Israeli engineers may work side-by-side Iranian engineers on open source projects, and these engineers may develop personal respect for eachother."
I suspect that the engineers already respect each other. It's the politcians and other wackos that want to maintain the perpetual(?) war.
" GO NOVELL! GO IBM!..." Please remember what the communists did to the anarchists after the revolution (Russian). We appear to be on the same side now, but when the "war" is over...Well, as OJ said, "Look out!"

" I'm saying that "I thought of it first" is fucking childish,..."
Not only that, it's the ultimate in karma whoring.
"So does this make Tivo a bad guy now?"
Only on the first Tuesday of the month.

"So Local radio stations can compete against XM and Sirus."
There is no local radio anymore. It's all Clear Channel and...somebody else.

Call me paranoid, but this sounds a lot like "trusted computing" "NX" will probably be used to enforce "no execute" on non MS software.

Didn't the Russians bring back some stuff from the moon with an unmanned spacecraft back in 1970? Can't remember if it was automated.
These birds know the risks when they take off. I say "Let them die."
That's a little like Topeka, Kansas...equally convenient to both coasts.
yeah...I'm for that!
What?... oh...well, that's different...Nevermind...bitch
but then you'd have to round up to $0.011
"They're "venting with flame"..."
Slashdotters(?) have been known to do the same.
"...Cars don't explode because a battery overheats in the trunk..."
Unless you happen to be driving a Ford Pinto, perhaps.

Of couse...with a name like "NanoGator" a little spying is ok...right?
Take this seriously at your own risk.
the mailman on "Von Sienfeld"?
"...sounds like "Von Noyman"..."
Maybe in New York, but the rest of us would say "Von Nerman"
space heaters?
"This letter is an irrelevance."
Yeah, and how they got into my pajamas I'll never know.

Puleeeze...do you really think Gore, or Dean, or anyone else in a position to win an election is going to change anything?
