Pamela has also written negative articles about patents, something IBM surely wouldn't want if they could control her. Didn't Pamela for some time also work as a manager(?) for open source company for a while. Surely a team of laywers couldn't fake that do that. I'm pretty sure that Pamlea exsists, if she has had any help from IBM laywers I'm sure it's very hard to prove in court. And why would it even matter?
I find this even cooler...

GameProducer.net: 3DRealms got praise from Remedy when they were doing their first cinematic action title Max Payne. Remedy said that it has been great to work with a publisher that gave no or little pressure about the deadlines. I heard the famous slogan "When it's done" first time said by Remedy & 3D Realms. How do you approach this attitude nowadays? Do you have no deadlines at all? What it really means to you to publish a game "when it's done"? Scott Miller: Well, we have a simply philosophy that if you're going to make a game, do it right. Another words, the game comes first. Most publishers do not see the value of this philosophy, and therefore the majority of their games are not hits. Also, since we retain ownership of our game brands, it is in our best interest to insure that our games are big hits, because not only do we like those fat royalty checks, we also like to see the valuation of our brands exceed 10's of millions of dollars. In 2002 we (us and Remedy) sold the Max Payne brand for nearly $50 million, and that was after earning some $25 million in royalties. So, was it worth the 4.5 years to make Max Payne right?
3DRealms has earned from Max Payne franchise alone about 50 million USD (about 25 miljon royalties and sold the max Payne brand (game + engine to take two for 50 million , the developer Remedy got their share of course so I estimate that 3DRealms got at minimum 35 million USD). Now they are doing (trying) the same with Prey (developed by HumanHead) produced by 3DRealms. 3DRealms have lots of older other profitable self-developed games aswell. So they can afford to drag DNF development forever with the cash they have in spare.
As they say on their website: In business since 1991. Never had a loan. Never had layoffs. Extremely stable and successful environment.
I work for a very large multinational company (as an administrator but not handling emplyee user-rights). By deafult all (windows using) employees have user rights only. Everyone is allowed to apply for Local admin rights if they really need them (e.g. want to install special software not provided by help desk). I think this system works great as those that most likely do something stupid with their computer are the ones who dosen't care if the have full access or not. Those that apply for to admin rights usually know something about the computers and how to handle them.
Instead of calling a user, Ping him! I don't know how comfortable I would be having people surfing on my cell-phone. Could cause lots of issues like security, Battery-life, slashdotting (It's not so nice when the phone catches fire in your pocket;).
Let me add that copyright laws are much looser in Finland than in USA. But even in USA parodies are protected by freedom of speech. I hate when US citizens think that their laws apply in every country in the world!
With apache you can host as many domain as you like on on IP check NameVirtualHost So many ISPs (especially small ISPs) host as many domains as one physical server (1 ip-adress) is capable of. So having hundreds of domains of one IP-adress is very common and one of the reason why there's still (ipv4) IP-adresses even if internet/domain usage is increasing.
Professor Ishiguro believes that it may prove possible to build an android that could pass for a human, if only for a brief period.

That's probably the time a slashdot geek will last when plesuring any female.
Sony is not really loosing money, they have a tight grip on game developers, If you want to make a game for a playstation, you first have to buy a developerskit and license, then when the game is finish you are not allowed to produce the actual disc yourself, sony manufactures them (for a heafty price I assume) so for every game on a playstation there a large amout going directly into sonys pockets, even if the game dosen't sell well (this applies to xbox & gamecube aswell of course). That's why they can afford losing on hardware and that's also why console games are more expensive than PC games.
Agree, those figures are quite average on a mobile phone today, but still an impressive feat by motorolaby showing this is possible with Linux OS on handheld aswell.
I'm amazed if they didn't encrypt the data! I work for a large multinational company and we encrypt everything, even the most trivial data we backup. It's so easy, the local server just run the files through gpg (GNU open source software:) before data is autmaticly backupped on tape...
Of course maintaining/updating the encryption keys in a secure way requires some administrative work but still it shouldn't a problem for a company that large.

I think it's more about Linus being a nice guy, Bitkeeper and Larry has done alot (supported both in money & time) for Linux during these 3 years and even if people have the right to reverse-engineer the software it's bad for linuxs, and now finally leading to the fact that Linux developers can't use bitkeeper for free anymore, so i thnk lLÖinus attack on Tridge has some justification behind it...
