A lot of people are mentioning returning their consoles for replacement, and going through more than one as if it is the accepted norm. Is this really so?
Either way, embedding foreign objects into ones body can't be a good thing. If it was, there would be no need to bother about stem cells to generate replacement body parts.
Others can have it the way they like it as well. The problem I have with other solutions such as Windows is that it makes it more difficult to have things the way I want it.
I take it from the summary that simple print-scan-copy machines aren't what is being mentioned. Instead, referring to those smart printers that "can access all your companies files" -- couldn't figure how that was a good idea when I saw the ads myself.

You mean X should be able to auto config itself and not rely on a set resolution in/etc/X1ll/xorg.conf? Kinda like how it does now?
I really didn't miss it, only two or three shows that I used to regularly watch were affected, and really it was just fictional television. There wasn't much besides news, educational tv, and daily show / colbert report before the strike. And during the strike there was just about the same. I was looking forward to see the industry die and possibly something new and good take its place. The rest of the television watching population is mostly into their reality tv anyways, so I'm guessing they adapted as well.
I'm not willing to download 98% of the music they produce these days, for free via P2P. However, I'm at the point in my life where I could maybe afford an album per month... sucks for them I guess.
This comment about less combative comes at an interesting time. Reminders of Zimbra's likely end of commercial support from Yahoo. Reminders that outlook's web client sucks balls in anything other than MSIE. And right now, XP is asking me to install some updates, but apparently won't do so unless I allow it to install the Genuine Advantage Notification tool... whose name at least doesn't imply that it is a critical piece of the operating system. At least my copy of Windows XP is legal.
To be fair, I think universities should be granted patents, if only to look good on walls and recognize commitments. But they should be made publicly available if the university benefits from public funds. Especially in this case, where the idea seems novel, and non obvious.

Most of the people here who support copyright as is, only ask for the time to be reduced. Guess what the people in charge think of that idea guys
A lot of people are defending the actions described. But nothing good can come of this, regardless of how legal it is.
Well those practices aren't modern, as far I've read/seen, they come from way back in human history.

Why? For the pesky few who do not give in to dollar signs of course (or Euros as the case may be).
Going to fight in a foreign country isn't a crime either... unless the UK has jurisdiction in said foreign country.

Okay, you are quite correct. I am in the wrong here.
I have never found mere escape of punishment to be a good reason to do anything. I admit it can be motivation, but not a reason.
Guess some people didn't get the reference.
IBM, Redhat and I hate to admit Novel, still do a lot more (as far as I can tell) that Sun when it comes to open source software.
This makes a lot more sense than the pair of pants case. In this case, the laptop could have _a lot_ of personal data.
Exactly my point. Xorg auto configs now (I can't exactly say that I prefer it myself)

Seems like such a feature would also require a lot of legacy code to remain plugged in. There by increasing file size, and possibly memory footprint.
What ever it takes to make Firefox faster in Linux. It is unusably slow for me on Linux.

for what they did to OLPC?
so "Miguel de Icaza" == "Microsoft" ?
I haven't seen any of that (modded up at least), how about you?
