  1. Case will already be over. on French News Agency Sues Google News · · Score: 4, Informative

    There was a similar case shortly after the birth of the www. Site "A" sued Site "B" for quoting part of thier website and linking to it if readers wanted to read more. Imagine the horror, one site linking to another.

    Anyway, the court decided it was not Copyright infringement because the original source was provided and given full credit, and some other factors.

    Nothing to see here

  2. Re:Support from an unlikely source? on Yahoo Pledges Full Firefox Support · · Score: 0

    What's their plan?

    Well, since IE7 is supposed to have Tabbed browsing, maybe not CSS2.0 support, but possible CSS2.1 and is not supposed to support ActiveX. Chances are thier plan is to use the Mozilla/Firefox core for thier browser, with their own render engine.[/speculation]

    Looks like it's still Ahead Software

  6. Re:NeroLinux ? on NeroLinux vs. K3b · · Score: 1

    NeroLinux is made by Ahead Software (aka makers of Nero).

    According to the /. post Nero is made by Nero. And we know the editors are always right. ;-)

    BTW: It bugged me for a while that they don't even know who made the software.

  7. My question is... on Lord of the Rings Musical to Open in Toronto · · Score: 1
    Actually, two questions.
    1. Will it have Tom Bombadil? I was really hoping to see him in the movie
    2. Who the hell is gonna sit there for 10 hours? (Based on extended movies lengths) And in the end still only see half what was written by tolkien.
  8. so in other words.... on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    ... It's a firefox wannabe, with a big blue "e". My question is. what does an "e" have to do with surfing the web? At least the fox is running around the world. (A big fox, or a small world, you can decide)

    Nothing.

  10. Re:Surprise? on AOL: We're Not Spying on AIM Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think it's more the fact that they claim to own your conversations and can do as they wish with it. This implies they may be reading it, or just logging it.

    Either way, if i'm sending lyric clips to a friend of mine who lives 100+Km away, I don't want them selling the chorus to someone else.

    And to add to that. How many people use an IM program of some sort for work? Should aoHell own their ideas too?

    Bittorrent + slashdot = great downloads.

    Can we get a slashdotnova.org, or similar torrent site. That'd kick @$$.

    Not only is this a dupe, but really old news. I noticed this at least a month ago.

  14. Do the editors actually edit? on Nero Burning for Linux · · Score: 1

    The German company Nero, developers of the award-winning Nero Burning ROM suite for windows...

    I may be mistaken, but isn't Nero Burning ROM made by Ahead software? And Nero is the product.

    if you go to http://www.ahead.de/en/index2.htm you get redirected to Nero.com, but that's still ahead softwares website.

    Or on a news for nerds site, the editors don't need to be nerds and be aware of this?

    I don't know when the last time they used a confirmed source for news.

    Since it's only Libel if it's not true, then I say yes. Make the newspapers ensure that they are publishing the FACTS not the guesses. Make them responsable for what they write sinc if it's true no court would punish them for writing it anyway.

    Am I the only one that thinks that journalism is going to the shitter. BetaNews posted an UNCONFIRMED story. As in, didn't research it fully.

    God it's good to find good news these days. Especially with government "regulations" (aka. Filtering)

  21. The answer is simple. on Would You Pay 5 Cents For a Song? · · Score: 1

    The only job the Labels should have is distrobution of the CD's. The demand for a permanant media is there. Take for example, the CD audio quality is 96KB (that's Kilo BYTES ) per second and a high end MP3 or OGG is only 320Kb (that's Kilo bits ) per second.

    There is NO reason for the Labels to own the music that the artists write and create. Think of it as if MS owned all software that ran on their OS. I just don't make sense.

    GIVE THE MUSIC BACK TO THE ARTISTS, then watch what they do with it. Much like when the record label didn't like Wilco's album and cancelled the contract. They released the album online, and people paid Wilco directly.

    I hope this is the way it all goes in the end.

  23. Re:deterrant on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 1

    Nothing was wrong with it as such.

    The logic was just brutally flawed. Attempted murder was punishable by death, and murder was defined as "Killing a person." So when you tried to kill yourself, it was considered attempted murder, and thus punishable by death.

    Which is what they wanted to begin with.
