This is why you should never, ever enter a contract without reading the fine print. It's all too easy to click the "I accept" button without reflecting what you've just accepted. I wouldn't be surprised if godaddy have a "we may yank your domain at any time for any reason" clause in there somewhere...
The present invention provides a technique for preventing the unauthorized use of a computer application, operating system, or other program without causing the loss of any information or data.
And a bit further down:
When unauthorized use of the computer program is detected, any information and data is saved and the computer program and/or a portion of the computer system is disabled.
As patent law, legalese and such is not my area of expertise, I'm out on a limb here, but doesn't this sound like a patent for saving the state of an DRM-aware application before exiting if a DRM-breaking state occurs, thus making legal DRM-aware applications even more annoying to use?
Well, in general it's way, way cheaper to license a sample BEFORE the track has blown up, granting the original artist one hell of a leverage on the sampling one.
The entire summary sounds like a severe case of sour grapes.
As to why Linux is popular as a target platform, how about existing adaption, source code compatibility (well, almost) with a range of other UNIX- and UNIX-like operating systems, hardware compatibility etc.
Hardly exclusive to jewish mothers. I'm OK with the act of carrying a parasitic being inside you for 9 months granting a sense of posession over it though.
Getting hit over the head with a meteorite or getting hit over the head with yet another "stupid Bush/horny Clinton" joke, I don't really know which is worse.
Having online support on office tools for 10 years seems pretty good to me, but for developer tools it should be even longer.
Ever had to muck around in a 10 year old project (someone elses at that), where the tools used to build it have been deemed obsolete for 5 years? Not fun.
Of course it'll never replace the imagery Adams planted in my head, but it might turn out to be a really decent movie.
And I can really see Mos Def as Ford.
Same old story. Patenting of trivial processes seems to be a one-click affair these days.
But how much of a problem will this be for small (< 500) venues and lesser-known artists who don't sell out big arenas? I know a lot of indie electronica artists who improvise a lot, which would be interesting to have captured for later.
Somehow a "live" CD from a sing-back dance show (my view of your average Britney and friends show) doesn't seem like a too exciting prospect...
Sure, it looks cool, but I've given up on PDAs a long time ago. A regular wallet-sized calendar works better for me.
OTOH, I rarely have more than 3-4 meetings per week, but still.
And I thought normal-sized family portraits were bad enough...

Hardcore Java

The term hardcore is also applied on musical genres that are supposed to be harder and/or faster. First there was hardcore punk (think dead kennedys and black flag), 10 years later it was hardcore techno and "happy hardcore" (big, funny hat included).
With that said, hardcore java is not an impossibility, since it's based on context.
There are plenty of independent labels around that care to every thinkable (and unthinkable) type of music, except perhaps for Britney-type teenybopper acts.
The RIAA radar can be a good place to start looking.
Wouldn't the users living in countries that doesn't acknowledge 'denial of liability' already have sued the living daylights out of every major software corporation by now?
Not that it's not a scary thought, just wondering how it would work.

You almost make it sound like a dare.
Why is it that so many have horrible experiences with so many issue trackers? What makes this particular area so difficult to implement?

I'd rather call it a vice for the shortsighted, but to each his own.

They're most likely just trolling for some attention.

I found that wording a bit strange too. I'm not sure about the timeline, but MFC was released/unleashed in '92.

This is a true hack, in the purest sense.
I'm equally impressed over building it using only off the shelf parts as I am over building it at all.
Who will be the first to port this to Lego?
I swear I had to read the headline three times before I could read Ben's name correctly.
All that came up was "badger". That joke has gone too far.
Sorry Ben! Love the browser you work on though.

Looks like overkill for most uses I can imagine, except perhaps for linking two extremely transfer-happy facilities together.

I wonder how this will affect the speed of the development process.
And who said innovation was dead?
