I'll admit that I haven't RTFA, but I think censoring search engine results is a bad idea for all -- this is a poor move by the German engines. Does the German law system have the equivalent of the US system's law where once you start filtering content, you are responsible for everything you link to? The name of the law/standard in the US escapes me right now.
I could have sworn another article said he had access to credit card numbers.
Needless to say, in another post, I linked to a statement that he offered to sell social security numbers and other critical information about customers which would allow someone to steal said person's identity.
He tried to sell subscribers' social security numbers. He's pretty dangerous. If you claim not, you're a moron, plain and simple.
Here he tries to sell materials from an ongoing federal investigation that he accessed through the break-in Here he tries to sell social security numbers and other identifying information so others can steal those identities.
I don't know if it was mentioned in this article, but I've read others about this case. This guy was trying to sell subscribers' credit card and social security numbers and you call that "not a danger to society." That's pretty dangerous to society, or have you never heard of identity theft?
Pizza delivery in my town to university dorms call you back when they've arrived at your dorm (there is no paging system and they cannot enter the dorm).
This left-wing/right-wing stuff getting thrown about is confusing! Why can't people just say "economically conservative and socially liberal"? That way, it's not a phrase dependent on location.
I'm sure they also make plenty money with SkypeOut, which allows you to call land-lines with your Skype for very low rates -- I use it all the time to call home (the US) from Japan.
If you have ever watched an American DVD, you would have seen something like this:
The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this copyrighted work is illegal. Criminal copyright infringement, including infringement without monetary gain, is investigated by the FBI and is punishable by up to five years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000."
So, any American on this list could in theory face jail time and huge fines.
However, the statute of limitations in the US for copyright infringement, both civil and criminal, is three years. So, if you used Kazaa no more recently than Feb 7, 2002, you are in the clear.
I would also wager a guess that Kazaa Lite users also face this same problem, since, from what I understand, Kazaa Lite still used the same network, and only had the client-side ad/spy/whatever-ware removed.
This is a troll. Skype is not owned by Sharman. Skype is run out of Luxembourg and was created by the people who created Kazaa, not the people who own it now.
I can't say about JPEG2000, but the link abramsh provides mentions a suit affecting programs that create and/or edit JPEG, and I hope that JPEG editing is not included in a browser suite! I don't know if the suit about JPEG2000 is over creating JPEG2000 or just anything at all to do with wavelet technology in images, as seems to be the case.
...is the people who say, "Hey, white hat hackers are OK because they break into systems for the fun of it, and to teach you the weaknesses in your system," but for the life of my I cannot explain just why it reminds me of it.
It seems like the perfect computer to introduce kids to computing
Dude, the average mom doesn't know this stuff.
Plus it's cheap so it's not that big of a deal if the kids break it.
If you're shopping at Wal Mart for a computer, you don't have hundreds of dollars to just say "well, kids broke that computer, time to buy another!"
And as far as why a mother of three wouldn't buy Linux, one word: Games.
Kids want games, and Linux doesn't provide them. My little sister wants to play Roller Coaster Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon and The Sims. Not to mention Warcraft, Halo and HL2.
Kids don't want to play Frozen Bubble and Tux Racer -- I should know, I tried to get my kid sister to play them, and she was like "these are boring, I want to play Zoo Tycoon now!"

Actually, it would be macroaudition. Vision is the sense of sight. Audition is the sense of hearing.

Honestly, why is it so hard for people who post to add "<URL:" and ">" to the links they put up?
Only now do I realize you were being facetious.

espically if you are one of the quiet types, it isn't likely to conciously register with them
DAMMIT THAT EXPLAINS WHY MY TEACHERS ALWAYS KNEW WHEN I WAS SKIPPING AND WHEN I WASN'T!!!
But what about old people in Korea?
does anybody know the etymology of the word "patriot" with respect to this legislation?
I assumed that the "Patriot" in "Patriot Act" was a reference to "Patriot Missile", as in, "My rights were destroyed by a Patriot Missile."

My friends and I, we have a system called "I live in Japan and they live in Texas" that keeps me from trying out your system.
Kazaa is owned by Sharman Networks. Skype is owned by Skype Technologies. No relation.
Many people have been confusing this lately, so I wouldn't feel bad. I'm just trying to correct the error because I, I'll admit, am a Skype fanboy.

The politically correct word you are looking for is "police officer".

it's not critical data so I guess it doesn't really matter
Ouch, burn. There is nothing quite like the feeling of being told that your culture and history isn't important, and doesn't matter.
When there isn't patent litigation surrounding the format.
Why can't they? Aren't they allowed to quit?
From my memory, I don't recall 'sweatshop' meaning 'forced labor' and the employees were free to go at anytime.
This makes it exactly like a LAN party, except those people get paid.
