Was it her IP address at the time of the upload or did the RIAA just ask for whoever had the IP address at the time of their request and neglect to specify a time? Can the software that tied the user to the IP be considered 100% accurate? Has an audit been done to insure this?
Even if she did do it, if the RIAA can't prove it, they should never have brought the case. The RIAA is suing IP addresses which may or may not be permanent or reliably traced and expecting people to send them a check because they're too poor to fight them. They don't even care who they send the suits to as long as a check comes out of it.
Considering the number of people that are throwing away perfectly good computers and buying new just because theirs has a case of spyware and don't know any better? I dunno if them selling it for a couple hundred bucks is suspicious. Perhaps they think the buyer is taking several machines apart and piecing them together into a working machine because they don't know any better.
They've already had at least one old security issue revived by regressions. How the hell they manage to make a piece of code unsafe after it's been patched specifically for that, I don't know... Perhaps they just bandaided it without comment and someone ripped it off in the process of "improving" it...
AOL gave everything to the Mozilla Foundation. They washed their hands of Mozilla, and AFAIK they don't provide any sort of funding or contribution anymore.
It's not libel if it's true. The problem is these people will get massive lawsuits which will require them to spend mass quantities of money before they even see the inside of a court room. A doctor with a highly paid lawyer could probably bury a regular person with a lawyer they can barely afford in litigation. The aim? To force them to pay out a settlement and "admit" they were "lying" regardless of the facts.
I doubt that it would continue to perform any graphics operations that weren't essential (the vast majority wouldn't be) or hold onto memory that it doesn't need (if it's not doing anything, it needs very little) when you run a 3D app.
I'd like to know how much that is in real dollars considering the price they are supposedly paying has gone up up up recently and their profit in real dollars would also go up up up if they actively maintained their profit margins by increasing the price downstream has to pay for their shit.
Ppossibly the US's massive coal reserves. We could already be making it into fuel for cars just like South Africa, but the green people seem to get more pissed off at coal than every other fuel combined.
or we could build more nuclear plants and start using all that "nuclear waste" (after we build a new reprocessing facility) in reactors and have relatively clean power for our hydrogen extraction. The French use plutonium, why don't we?
It may very well have been written by SCO.:P Of course most of it is marketing fluff that probably doesn't mean anything more than "SCO is paying MySQL AB not to drop support for SCO UNIX platforms and to certify and support MySQL on SCO UNIX." Who cares?
His entire point is that the government sucks for letting any of this happen. Regarding the recent calamity. The problem is caring about Americans doesn't seem to be as noble as caring about foreigners to an American politician. These are the people that worship the theory that the government does not exist to serve the American people. BTW, WAL-MART is probably one of the most evil corporations that ever existed. They have single-handedly destroyed more of the economy than any entity in our history. As if minimum-wage and working people an hour short of what they need to get benefits wasn't bad enough, they even use illegal workers to gain an advantage and kill off local economies...
He realizes that pouring our money into foreign countries who don't give a fig about their own people and just want to build bigger and faster nukes with our money (super-sonic nukes, YAY!) is a threat to the West and the entire planet. Trying to defend Taiwan from China while allowing our corporations to pour money into China is the most retarded thing this country has ever done.
Only if you're an insane capitalist that thinks they can ride the people to success and then drive them into the ocean when they *THINK* they don't need them anymore. We're about to see what mistreating your homeland does to you when states in the US start flipping Microsoft the finger and mandating open standards (eg not MS). The same will happen to other companies when they find out they can't get their way anymore because there aren't anymore jobs to threaten to "take away".

IIRC, you lose.

Which explains why the federal government sometimes prosecutes murderers...for murder.

this way when they lay them off to deny them their retirement packages, they can maintain their image ;)

Has there actually been a malware installing vulnerability that had something to do with "integration"?

Actually, US trademark law requires them to protect their mark or lose it. So yea, Google has forced them to file the lawsuit.
If they were so unconstitutional, perhaps the supreme court wouldn't have refused to even hear challenges against them...

Memory addresses, but 2x the RAM is or should be (it's MS) way off...
I wasn't aware that using an alternative operating system and/or browser was considered a disability.

Why would you change the length of a storage datatype?

I hope you enjoy your new Chinese overlords in 10 years.
and Microsoft will change their prices to 200 euros, and 500 euros to compensate...
