Did anyone notice that none of the lawyers on that site have any technical experience?
Since when does everyone need to have ultra l33t tech skills to analyze the matters of law and fact that apply to a given technical situation? That's like saying insurance agents are not qualified to analyze the legal questions of car accidents because they don't understand how to install an intake manifold.
Indeed. It seems many people are unaware of this. There are actually only a few writers of Jesus's day (outside of the early church fathers) who mention him at all, and some of the passages in those works are acknowledged forgeries probably inserted by Christian copyists at a later date.

If so, consider them frozen solid. This entire city has become a giant block of ice.
Yeah I almost fell over several times just walking half of a street length to get food.
In other words, it's harder to rationalize stealing from a real store than it is to rationalize stealing from an online-only store.
Exactly how is it stealing from iTMS? Were details published on how to hack into Apple's servers and download the tracks stored there without paying for them?
Firefox has a maximum simultaneous request limit of 8. The number of requests it will make at maximum is the lesser of 8 or the number given in about:config.
Yes and I'm sure Microsoft had no ulterior motive for this action seeing as how about half of all software in existence violates one of Microsoft's "patents."
If it were any more understandable they wouldn't be able to sell it to investors. You see technically illiterate corporate types have certain strange traits that you have to cater to if you want their money. One of them is that the more incomprehensible the decription of a technical product, the more likely they think it really is something of value that is likely to succeed.
relativity is so entrenched that disproving it would literally change all of physics. It would be an event on a par with the ultraviolet catastrophe that brought down classical physics. As a result, it's not something to be taken lightly.
Clearly not. And obviously a great deal more experiments of varying types would have to be conducted and thoroughly analyzed before anyone could make a respectable statement saying they had disproved anything. I'm just saying we should not ignore observational data that seems to contradict relativity simply because "it is so entrenched." Science has been forced to reinvent itself before, and will do so again if necessary.
Ah, I think I misunderstood a combination of the artice summary, the parent, and the grandparent. The summary states that if the information is made available over the net it will be free. The grandparent wrote step 1 as put the info on the net, so I assumed he meant for free. However his third step, which I overlooked, was profit, so I guess he meant charge for it over the net somehow. Apparently the parent I replied to thought so as well.
NEC Research Institute at Princeton did an experiment in which a laser in cesium gas appeared to travel faster than light. That was published in the New York Times and in an independent paper by one of the scientists. Also, Italian National Research Council of Florence performed an experiment with mirrors that appeared to bend light such that the velocity exceeded c. That was published in Physical Review Letters. I think there are a few others but I don't remember them at the moment.
Many distinguished scientists have also advanced theories that say the speed of light might not be fixed or that the top speed attainable might not be exactly c.

Considering the nature of Microsoft's ongoing assault on Linux, I'm surprised they haven't tried to patent Linus yet.
The RIAA can go to hell. Sony v. Universal clearly established the legality of timeshifting devices such as this.

At least all the smoking server comments will finally be on topic.
I realise that you're supposed to be editors
Well you see, there are editors, and then there is michael.

Didn't think so.
If you want to see the upcoming CSS 3 standard
No need to bother yourself with that, as it won't become viable until Longhorn 2.0 ships in 2013.

We all know geeks usually have good imaginations.
in violation of several patents

Yep, you're right. I even had the built-in ethernet interface disabled because I never use it, but that was still the address that was broadcast.
That wasn't as bad as that one troll who posted Apple is gay shit in every single Apple story for like 2 years.
And in the first case it would be Apple, not Mac. "Mac" is unable to announce anything, as it is an inanimate object.
broadcasting your MAC address in plain text
That doesn't sound like a very good idea. Has Mail always done that?

Actually 124.

I know all that. I'm not a complete newb, just a little drunk. Still mad the falcons lost. ;)

I'm not as concerned about that as the stuff that was NOT declared a matter of national security but was arbitrarily classified anyway.
