Whatever you do, DONT read the parent you are replying too...I quoted from the article, whatever the other posts say, the article states they are suing over the format.
The lawsuit centers around the comedy troupe's portrayal of the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" format, according to Jim Mallon, president of Best Brains and producer of the television show.
He says Mr. Sinus' lean toward adult-type humor goes against the spirit of MST3K.
Yes, they don't like the name similarity, but they also don't like that it is an adult-type humor FORMAT.

That format would be sitting in a theater and making fun of a bad movie? Guess they better start suing most groups of teenagers I've ever seen at a movie
OK, since you obviously have not read it (like most members of Congress). How about my right to privacy. The government, for whatever reasons they choose, can wiretap my phone, find out what I read at the library. How about my right to a fair and quick trial - they again can detain me without cause - just because my name is not Abdul does not mean that it won't happen. Wake up.
Don't worry, the Mebius is available in the US and other countries from Dynamism, who converts it to English and ships it with Windows XP. The thick owner's manual is in Japanese, so you'll need to use your general knowledge of notebooks and the pictorial illustrations for guidance when needed.
So, they still ship the manual to you in Japanese? Domo ori gato
Fact 30: COBOL is a very bad language, but all the others (for business data processing) are so much worse
COBOL is an old language, not necessarily a bad language. Like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it. If you like programming in COBOL then you'll probably be good at it. If you like programming in Java, then you'll probably be able to code any business data processing functionality you need in it too. I think it's best to use the tool you're most comfortable with.
Compare Microsoft to automobile makers. When they started, they were unsafe. So they added a 'fix' like seatbelts. Then they added crumple zones, an enhancement to make them safe. Airbags, side impact curtains, rear-sensors for backing up, and so on, and so on.
I think a big difference here is that car manufacturers REDESIGNED cars to add those things, we don't have airbags in our Model-T's. MS has not done a good job of redesigning Windows, so the insecurities remain.
Just this morning I had to install an update to Firefox to block a flaw that would've allowed an attacker to run a program on my system.
But that's just it, at least he had an update to install, MS doesn't release security updates as quickly as it needs too, as the first question mentioned.

Is he related to Simon & Garfunkel?

True, the spirit of MST3K was always "reference" humor, it was amazing how many inside references they could get in one show.

Only if we also get "right-wing nut" mod too.
I didn't know Herr Ashcroft was a regular /. reader? I've almost been modded down to TROLL. I hope Guantanomo has internet access, I'll miss /.
And why would we want to talk about the reality here in the US when it's so much easier to just march lockstep with the rest of the sheep.

Have you read the Patriot Act?
Maybe when the government stops taking away our rights.
I can't help but wonder how long until this begins to happen in the US, all in the name of fighting terrorism
Why would Sony want a MS technology to go into the PS3 when they now compete with the Xbox?
We was just talkin' bout this da other day - totally unworthlessness function.
Obvious - the IBM butt plug.
Just about as long as SCO has claimed to have "proof" of code copying into Linux.
Hope they got a shot of novacaine first.
So, the PragProg is a grab bag. Who knew.
Like I said, I need to brush up on my Japanese. Thanks.

That would be an oxymoron, like military intelligence, Microsoft Works, etc.

And I understand it will be filmed entirely in Aramaic.
