A Finnish court ruling probably doesn't apply in the US.
SCOTUS has in the recent past cited decisions from international courts in their own decisions and dissents (with some controversy). A quick google search turned up this one - http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=700176.
But, as a practical matter, Finnish court rulings don't have much weight in the US.
Yeah, out of the billions of stars in our galaxy and out of the billions of galaxies in our universe, this still means there may be a bunch of other intelligent beings on other planets living sort of like we are right now, perhaps even communicating electronically and debating topics like this.
I think they are interested in having cross-platform "client" to run a new generation of web-based content
This is the point. To build new Safari-apps which will run on the iPhone, web developers need to test the web pages in Safari. By releasing a Windows version of Safari, web developers running Windows can test out their new web pages. Web developers won't run out and buy macs just to test web pages, and now they don't have to.
If it results in actual browser share, or more webpage/webapp compatibility across all browsers, that's an added bonus.
Inuit scrabble would need a different tile distribution, as well as different point values on the letters. How common is the letter 'Q' in Inuit words?
English (American?) scrabble letter distribution and values are based on the frequency of the various letters in written English.
For example, IIRC, the Hawaiian language only has 12 letters (and a glottal stop) -- and there is no Q.
You forgot one:
If you buy a copy via iTunes for your iPod, the RIAA wants you to buy a second copy so you can play it on your computer as well.....
Stupid.... stupid....
> So if we talk negatively about DRM, we are abating the terrorists?
I'd love it if we could abate all the terrorists. Or did your finger slip and you meant abetting?
Why build in a cell phone -- why not let the phones be phones, and have this device use a nearby bluetooth-capable phone?
I suppose the advantage to having it built in is that there is only one device to take/wear, but if you're already carrying a phone around, why carry two?
Why can't the employer just make genetic testing a standard pre-requisite of employment - just like the mandatory drug tests at Home Depot or the assignment of patents/intellectual property at most programming/engineering jobs.
Granted, I'm presuming consent here, but if they tell you up front that you won't work there until the test is taken, they'll either find workers who will sign up for testing or they'll be unable to fill their position.
Wouldn't that be a "derivative work" and thus be controlled?
Yet another reason this is a really inane idea. Now graffiti artists can be busted not only for the misdemeanor and then copyright infringement....

There, fixed it for you.... No recipes -- no real, consistent discussion of techniques -- just cake porn. Bakers learn to bake by baking.

Yeah, but do they have Slashdot?!

Hard to imagine, isn't it???
Could there be a little similarity here?

Wouldn't that mean that they'd just be more efficient at using what little sunlight they ever saw??
What tools do the developers use themselves, and what tools do they envision the mod community using to adapt Civ IV?

More importantly, how long will it be before dual core CPUs boost slashdot editor's ability to dupe-check before posting?
