I don't think these court "settlements" slow this guy down at all. He was also successfully sued and ordered to pay $104,104 this past April. You can read about that case here. I am wondering if it is the case that he makes so much money sending spam that these fines and settlements are no more than the cost of doing business.
Yup, I didn't RTFA either but I did completely read the summary.. Well, maybe just more of it than you:)
In an attempt to close this gap, we have just released Sphinx-4, a state-of-the-art, speaker-independent, continuous speech recognition system written entirely in the Java programming language.
Why doesn't slashdot start it's own space program? We certainly have enough experts in the required areas of study to design and produce a working prototype. I'd also bet we could all chip in our lunch money to fund said projects.
Amen brother! Let's all set an example by giving your money away to oh say me. I've yet to learn that money isn't everything. I've never had any so maybe I need to have some in order to learn this lesson?
It's nice for release groups.. They only have to pass around a 10meg file with main execultables rather than a 1gig iso with a FAQ explaining how to download the game content from valve directly via steam.
Does this overthrow the idea that we can cope with 10 items because we have ten fingers? Maybe fingers moulded the language which moulded our own capabilities. If we counted in base 100 would women finally remember their own mobile phone numbers?
I've learned they do infat remember their own mobile phone numbers but it's just they don't want you or I to know it for obvious reasons.
So where does one start? What allows a child to make those first connections which allow for complex thought? Sounds like the key to AI to me. Give a computer a dictionary and define say 10 basic words that all other definitions/concepts can be drawn from. Then it simply processes all new ideas/thoughts from it's predefined concepts.
Try getting him to teach you anything like calculus, ethics, or theoretical physics without a common language. Simple manufacturing, plowing, or bucket-hauling are not "complex thought".
Would you buy a product from a company that doesn't inform their customers of a serious problem? Personally I'd rather have a company just admit they fucked up and fix it myself.
Only with those new anal probe cell phones. Besides, I don't want a low end camera on my phone so I sure as hell don't want a half ass anal probe phone.

I'm sure the fines are tax detuctable as well
How efficient is the human body at turning food into energy?
What are the plans of the other teams? Will they continue and finish (not winning any cash) the race?
Bush just annocued with Saddam out of power he's going after another terrorist with WMD.. Mother Nature.. Sounds like an Onion article to me

It will be a truely great day when the world economy runs on something like "kickass we put a man on mars" standard.
Fantastic. People barely know what a CD ROM is and now they'll need to know even less
You mean cup holder don't you?
You had me at blueberry.
Won't be long before we're all solving impossible encryption problems.
Who's this "we"? I still can't get my VCR to stop blinking 12:00...
I figured it out. What you do is unplug the power and the blinking 12:00 goes away!
dude, it's porn!
Just own crap nobody wants.

Obviously you've need heard of pr0n.
You can always make due with the amount of storage you have but it'd be nice to never have to get rid of anything.

It is to me you insensitive bastard!
Because of people out there who when they hear the word "digital" attached with any product they instantly think it's a better product.

Yeah, we're either under 18 or over 40.
Uh, if you were watching the Olsen twins making out with each other I doubt you'd have a hand free to accidently delete something
Just toss up a link that opens www.weather.com and puts in their zip code for them.
