  5. Lawyers to apologize on Slashback: MyCrowzOft, Inundation, Taxation · · Score: 1

    Today, the lawfirm Luvim & Burnim, who represents both Microsoft and RIAA, plan to publicly apologize for the mixup involving MikeRoweSoft.com. The mixup was made when a secretary inadvertently swapped Microsoft files with RIAA files. Lawyers had then reported to Microsoft, not knowing they had RIAA paperwork in their briefcases instead of Microsoft paperwork. "This was totally unexpected. We didn't think it was usual for Microsoft to accuse a website of copyright violations," said Seymour Skinner. "I swore they only wanted to purchase the domain name." In a related story, the RIAA has backed down on their $100 million offer to purchase www.kazaa.com.

    If they had a large and loyal customer base, I would certainly hope such a loyal customer base would prepare to fight such a demand. Perhaps donate to a legal fight.

  10. Jumping into games too soon? on Teaching Kids to Make Games? · · Score: 1
    I think at any age, a kid should get reeeeealy comfortable with a programming language before tackling a potentially complex project like creating a game.

    My programming language of choice is WinBatch, and I did once try to make a network Poker game.

    As soon as my nephew moves back to my locality, I am going to expose him to Linux and WinBatch.

    Speaking of Linux and WinBatch, has anyone confirmed whether or not Wine will run WinBatch?

  12. Re:Anyone been following Winamp? on Justin Frankel On AOL, Subverting The Status Quo · · Score: 1

    Yeah, like they said, it's 2+3, but it's without the instability of version 3.

    It has a bunch of cute features, and of course, you can tune it back down to the v2 skins.

    In the modern skins, they implement menu bars which serve a good purpose, and they also implement transparency as well as scaling.

    It works and feels like Winamp 2, but my only gripe is even in WindowShade mode, it's still sorta big.

  13. I love Winamp on Justin Frankel On AOL, Subverting The Status Quo · · Score: 1

    The only sour thing about it is that he signed that deal with AOHell.

  14. Re:"Linux Helps Terrorism" on SCO Lobbying Congress Against Open Code · · Score: 1
    Dairies have been shut down through legal pressure because they stated that their milk was free of BGH. Monsanto contended that simply saying that disparaged and defamed anyone who used BGH. Complain about the horrendously unsanitary conditions on the huge industrial hog farms? You could end up in court if you make noise anyone hears.

    Now isn't that along the lines of SLAPP, which is illegal in Koleefornia?

    You just need to make it obvious that it is not for legal tender.

    I used to work at Pizza Hut, and we had a smart-alec waitress who would ask for 50 bucks when she was asked a favor. I got her back one day by giving a small 50 with my face on it.
