This seems like nothing more than a license, from microsoft, regarding microsoft software, saying:
"This is a list of protocols you can use with our operating system/software. We didn't write most of these protocol, we don't own most of these protocols, and we don't really give a shit if you sign this or not, because the DOJ is making us write this.
Further, we aren't responsible if these protocols break your machine or insult your mother, and any protections regarding the use of these protocols that we might have, we extend to you, because we don't want some SCO wannabe suing our customers, this way they have to sue us. And we're unsueable.
Please from this day forth associate all these protocols with this license that does nothing that the DOJ made us write and you read. They didn't say it had to be clear or concise, and we took advantage of that. Basically, we hate slashdot, and this should stir things up a bit. Neener Neener."
And basically, I think that's all this is. Nothing to see here.
But how else would I keep my (allergic to everything) ex-girlfriend from wanting to come over all the time!?! This is terrible! Now I have to grow ragweed. The cat was definitely more fun. Way to ruin it for the rest of us, Allerca. Sheesh.
Maybe they couldn't cool it properly w/ a reasonable air cooled heatsink? Maybe they catch on fire or insult your mother. I have no idea. But I'll bet there's a reason that goes deeper than "We felt like it." Maybe they were planning on killing the line later but realized it would be more expensive to keep making faster P4s while bringing out new tech at the same time, than to just kill the current P4 line and move on. You have to shift sometime, or your motor blows up. Who knows?
And even if they could spec actual state of the art equipment for the trip, would you trust it? I damn sure wouldn't. I'd want equipment that had crappy bandwidth but was also nearly bulletproof as opposed to whatever new cuteness was available on launch day that might flake out in the 17th month.
I'd be worried if they weren't spec'ing decade old hardware.
Whew! I thought they were going to go ahead and waste all that time and create all that grief by trying to enforce them anyway. I'm sure glad they have the war on drugs to use as an example. Man, I feel better now. Thanks!

I prefer beige pearl, myself.
Don't worry, as soon as we can annex slovenia, we'll be able to crack down on those terror-sharers.
Dude, don't go to all that trouble. Just get married. The beer will taste better, too!
You know, I'd patent the idea of using monkeys to come up with patent applications, but there's prior art.
I lost power during $hurricane_name for anywhere from not at all to nearly two days,a nd I got it easy. My phone worked the /whole time/.
But how else would I keep my (allergic to everything) ex-girlfriend from wanting to come over all the time!?! This is terrible! Now I have to grow ragweed. The cat was definitely more fun. Way to ruin it for the rest of us, Allerca. Sheesh.
Anyone?
With my car and technical know-how, I could make a killing!
Microsoft will be suing them for patent infringement shortly.

Where would /. be then, buddy? I hate how everyone's always thinking of the children. We have feelings too, you know.
Because, you know, these things always hum along right on schedule.
Sorry, that should have read: You can't recycle food without a planet.
You can't recycle food. I mean, even if you could, would you want to?

It's not just for software anymore.
