being a subscriber might give the complaint more weight, as well.
Well, my other account is a subscriber. But considering that when I posted a complaint about it both the IP's I post from (home and work) were banned from posting anything and my karma quickly going from the good/excellent threshold to terrible, I'd say that it doesn't carry any extra weight at all. I had been a constant subscriber since subscription had become available too.
a capped price point capped by the market - and this has absolutely no relevance to patents
and no keyboard to input on Most (all?) consoles have keyboards available (Xbox and PS2 for sure)
Making all that stuff work well enough to sell is far more challenging than you're letting on.
As our making chipsets for computers. And making everything work correctly with computers. And how was I "letting on" about anything? What are you even talking about? What's your point with all this?
A console is a computer. Just because it's in a pretty box, and doesn't come with standard components doesn't mean anything.
No, of course he didn't, but all of those patented ideas were widely in use on computers for several years by that point. The argument that a console is somehow different enough to warrant the ability to patent these things is ridiculous. A console is a computer. Just because you put it in a different box and hook it up to your TV doesn't change that.
man... I was just thinking of "off the hook" when I read this article. They've been stroking themselves over the idea of f'ing with the RNC convention for months now. There's only one guy on the show who's even mentioned that it might not be the best idea to infringe on the rights of others just because you don't agree with them.
Freedom of speech is a Republican ideal? Because that's what these skript kiddies seem to be against here. Just because you don't agree with someone's viewpoint doesn't give you the right to impede their ability to present it.
Lucky for you, the NSLU2 stands for "LINKSYS Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives" so you can have both the WRT54G and the NSLU2, unless you were looking for two items to hack.
And clearly paying off people to continually get these lame settlements. How many times do they need to get in trouble for fixing prices before something is actually done about it? I've gotten 3 or 4 checks from them so far, so there's been at least that many settlements.
And the same thing could be done for almost any country. Many of those are accusations, and while some are probably true, we can do the same thing for almost any country. Let's start a list, shall we?
Woah woah woah... slow down cowboy! This is slashdot. That comment might be ever so slightly construed as a round-about way to condone US foreign policy. We can't have that here, now can we?

Thank goodness for proxies, I guess.

I really love your post being modded informative though :)

Yeah... at best it should be modded "Offtopic", at worst "flamebait".
We shall see what happens

I stand with the bombs.

That's the episode he's referring to. Surprised that someone who obviously gets their news from the "better" news sources wouldn't have seen this.

But how would he work in a Dr. Who reference if he takes that into account?

Germany
Ireland
Russia

How multicultural! Those took me about 5 minutes to find.
Have a good day
