I'll bet there are small drops of most peoples blood in their cars and houses. People bleed, it happens. This alone should not be taken as strong evidence of anything other than a bloody nose or cut finger.
One thing that I learned from the Duke Lacrosse case is that in most US jurisdictions, and possibly elsewhere, Rape is legally defined as including penile penetration.
Lesbians can't rape people? Men can't rape people with broom sticks and bottles? I think it's penetration, not penile penetration. As well, while it's not as common, wemon do on occasion rape men, and most wemon don't have penises.
"Imaginary property rights"? The right to have the right to say how something you own is used is an imagenary right? Artists have assigned control over their art to representatives, as is their right. Clearly this is the issue, than.
The world doesn't owe you a particular feature - if you want it, write it. If you can't/won't write it, then pay someone to write it for you. If you are not prepared to do that, then quit bitching and uninstall it.
Attitudes like this are why "proprietary" software will never die, they generally have a more friendly response to user needs.
Because you and I are too lazy to write the plugin?
This is something that really pisses me off about the fanboys, they assume a defensive stance when someone critiques their pet project. The standard "why don't YOU submit a patch?" Because I'm a user, not a programmer? Oh, I forgot, Open Source isn't for us little people, the users.
Realizing you are suing the wrong person is not 'backing down'.
Normally this would be true. But the RIAAs lawsuit "MO" is not predicated on sueing the "right" person, only on suing the person they think has the highest probability of folding and paying their extortion fees.

Just line out, and initial the parts you want struck.
And then you can, of course, be working some place else.
"Moore's Law" is not a real law. In reality, it is not relevant at all. It's kind of a cute thing to mention, but when it gets down to the real world engineering, it has no significances.
But how can this be? According to the Slashdot Zingiest, MySQL isn't a "real" DB server. Only rubes use MySQL, real DB admins insist on PostgresSQL... So according to the Slashdoters with the low ID numbers, than, Google is just a bunch of rubes!
Unfortunately for Vonage, under the current patent system, Verizon almost certainly has them under their thumb. Within the current rules, I'm betting that Vonage can't win, and somehow will become Verizon's bitch whore just to stay in business. Patent reform is the solution, but it's not going to happen in time for Vonage.
The Slashdot write-up implies that Dr. Bonner's Soap is known to test positive for GHB, but that's not what the actual referenced article says at all.
The company, which is used to law enforcement issues because one ingredient is hemp oil -- and field tests sometimes show positive for THC -- hired Margolin, The Times reported.
Further, the "soap" was in a wooden ("stash") box that Bonner attempted to conceal. Is one's "stash" box normally where one keeps "soap"? Just askin...
The GPS unit's message system most likely uses a registered frequency since it's meant for large area broadcasts.
And you seem to think the GPS manufacturers will want to be left out of the cash bonanza? Get used to the idea, advertising is coming to your low end consumer GPS.
Years ago (going on 30 years ago, now), I used to hitch-hike. It was safe then. This would be great for that sort of thing. But I can also see this becoming an annoying advertising tool.
I'm extremely happy with this, mainly because it puts a HUGE stake through the heart of the SCO v. IBM case.
You write like the judgments have already been ruled for, but this is unlikely. The Microsoft Whore Novell will win the case in the end, but with patent law as it now stands, Linux will lose as more and more Patent Kings come out of the woodwork for their slice of the pie. Unless there is patent reform, in the years to come, for businesses Linux will be no freer than Windows.
It's unlikely they will win the judgments. But arn't they already thinking that direction with the Microsoft deal? It has little to do with the value of Linux as an OS, but rather the business of patents may make Linux an unprofitable road to go for big business.
usually setup via the old hand under the table wad of cash from supplier to head bureaucrat to ensure competitors are left out.
It's popular to suggest government bureaucrats (employees) are getting cash kickbacks, but that rarely pans out as true. Sometimes is does workout to a favorable job after the bureaucrats time in government is over, but before that, cash rarely changes hands. It's almost an "urban legend".

There is a difference between "bitching" and "feedback".

You where referred to the school psychologist in a wasted attempt to get you to take your studies more seriously.

If it's "just a box", why would you hide it from the cops?

Which will transmit advertising directly to your GPS...
Who said anything about "unauthorized"? Where there is money to be made by big biz, the FCC is "on-board".

The idea, James, is that people could nefariously disrupt the public with messages designed to cause hysteria.

OMG! What a hunk of junk! What, with all those security holes. How these people in Redmond continue to sell software is beyond me.
