Lawyers who make their living with that type of litigation never want to be the first, they tend to wait for someone else to show that it can be done. I'm betting the flood-gate will soon open, and this type of RIAA tactic will fade. But you can bet that the RIAA will try a different approach.
Well I remember not too long ago about how Lenovo would not install or support Linux. And the first comment on that page, "They'll come crawling back to us when Vista turns out to be a flop."
I think it's "wishful thinking" based on a desire for Microsoft to "get what's coming to it" on your part to think this has anything at all to do with Vista / Microsoft, and don't forget that XP is still an option with *most* OEMs. This has nothing to to with Microsoft's market share, which unfortunately remains strong. Assuming a great shift in the Dark Side is presumptuous at best.
But it's still a great sign that things are starting to move just a little.
Yes. It's not like iD has released anything GLP before.
Because they have in the past released lots of cool stuff under GPL does not absolve them of the need to follow the GPL in the future. And, the are in the software business. They know where they got their code, they know what its licensing terms are.
The problem for Dateline is their approach. Now if they had tempted these hackers with the possibility of accessing some super secret on-line achieve of hot tentacle porn, maybe they would have had more success?
I know you're making the joke, and it *is* funny. But it's also true
Many here and elsewhere seem to have this idea that journalists are in the same ethical league with doctors and (I'm sorry) police. But I'm not sure it's ever been true. Since dawn of newspapers, it seems to me it's always been about the "scoop", by which I mean the "dirt". What has this not been so?
Oh Jesus, give me a break. If both are hacking my network, both are the same. And what's with basement dwelling virgin geeks calling themselves "security Researchers" and "CEO" of their little hacker / masturbation buddy group?
kquote>Comparing Kazaa to Wikia is rather over the top as Wikia doesn't install spyware and ad-serving crap. A bit of FUD?
That's not the part the parent is comparing. The parent's comparison has NOTHING to do with the spyware issue. It has to do with using the "communities" resources to make money without paying for those resources. But hey, if *you* like to work for free, have at it.
There's a lot of talk about this drinking business, but let's take a look here: Anonymous reports about non-specific astronauts. It's not really all that credible. Sounds more like sour grapes from some jealous worker bee.
I edit a lot of articles in my spare time from work. My work IP resolves to the US Air Force. Other than the fact that I'm wasting my employer's resources editing Wikipedia and surfing Slashdot, there's no other connection. Just because an edit was done from a government computer doesn't mean the government is behind it.
One of the strengths of Linux is also its biggest weakness. If someone has a computer and for some strange reason needs to install an OS, which Linux distro do they choose? I've run Linux for years and I still can't name all the available distros. I doubt ANYONE can.
If you're a business, you install Red Hat (or CentOS) or SuSE. Reason is good corporate account support.
Well, as Google Analytics *sucks* in many ways, if Microsoft wants to skim what little is good and than add to it, I can't complain. The graphs sure look a lot nicer...
According to the suit, filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Congress amended the Patent Act in 1999 to require that the Director and Deputy Director of the USPTO each have "professional experience and background in patent or trademark law.,/blockquote>
Where did these guys get the wild idea that this administration was required for follow things like laws? Certainly not from Congress, who lack even the appearance of a spine to keep the Executive Branch honest and legal.
Slashdot Mirror
Since this phone is not the same as the iPhone, has different code, mmore functionality, how are these Chinese "pirates"?
I wonder if such things are obtainable under the Freedom of Information Act? I know that *some* scientific datd is exempt..
Think of the scientists! Without Global Warming, they would have nothing to bleat about.

Since they basically rubber stamp American foreign policy, what's the point?
It works for Slashdot's baby Google, why not Yahoo?
Which is why most new computers come in "slate". Hides the filth buildup.

First, Microsoft does not have a monopoly on OS or any other application. Unless Open Offeice and Linux are just figments of imagination.
Second, generally most companies, not just Microsoft, reward sales people for exclusive representation. Business as usual.
Jesus. You really need to get a First Life.
Hi, My name is Frosty. I'm a real person with a real "life". what is this "Second Life"?
Essentially, that's not what I said.
For me it would be other way around. A technology failure I could understand. Letting a drunk employee near my server rack, I could not.

Yes, I'm going to try to pick one up on eBay for cheap, too. Wonder how much they will end up fetching?
Of course, Facebook will soon be purchased by Google.
