The problem however is that Universal Health care gives most employers who offer health care now a reason to stop doing so. Health care costs in this country are going up way to fast and employers are cutting back on the benefits they provide or passing the cost increases on to the employee. If you say to them, hey the government will provide universal health care, I think you will see a large number of them drop health care coverage all together in order to boost their profits.
XP only required activation on Install or Reinstall (or if you changed enough hardware, how much is the subject of debate).
You have to connect to steam every time to play HL.
Here's a whatif.. Suppose valve goes under in 2 years (not likely but humor me). Suppose someone with a patent sues them over infringement because they have some stupid software patent that says they own everything and anything to do with any type of system that checks for activation online, and an injunction gets issued by a judge that doesn't know any better to shut steam down.
Suppose 5 years from now you decide you want to get nostalgic and play HL2 and they currently are selling HL4 and don't want to activate old copies (Quicken anyone?)
And how did the other candidate intend to pay for this? I've seen universal health care coverage in other countries, and what it generally means is lower quality over all for everyone. Ever notice that when people what high quality procedures done, they come here?
Actually no, it's because they insist on putting Active X in everything. Did you ever hear of a Visio virus before MS Bought them, put Active X into it and released it?
If the old, bigger target, more attacks statement was true, then you would find that Apache would have far more exploits than IIS given that it has double the market share, and yet that isn't the case.
Zenworks, and eDirectory. Both are multi platform. Even groupwise can be run under Netware, Windows and Linux.
Personally I think the coolest thing in Netware from an END USER perspective is iPrint. I have all of my buildings set up on a web site with building maps. There are printer icons on those maps and users can just find their printer on the floor plan and click it and it installs.
That's somewhat of a silly statement. If you use any product chances are you have files stored in that file format. At least WP will open current word files, what's the last version of WP that word supports, 5.1?
You missed the point of this. Microsoft deliberately locked out a Novell product from their operating system and then refused to allow them the information to make it work thus killing it off.
That's not innovation. The people controlling the OS intentially broke a product that runs on that OS in order to hurt that company.
We know they have done it before. This time they had to pay for it.
FYI eDirectory is still a far superior directory compared to Active Directory. Doesn't matter if it's running on Netware, Windows or Linux. (And it will run under all 3 unlike AD)
IANAL
That said, I'm going to take a stab at rebutting the rebuttal... Just the points that I think actually have any bearing on the case.
2. "Newsforge can definitively say that Connolly's legal claims against the Mambo community are baseless."
-- Actually, Newsforge cannot "definitively" say anything legal. Moreover, it is patently illegal for Matzan and Newsforge to provide something that can be construed as legal advice.
Newsforge can definitively say whatever it wants and be correct about it without being a lawyer. It can say that your claim is completely worthless and can be 100% correct. I can say if you jump off a 3 story building you are going to get hurt. I can say it definitively and it's not legal advice.
4. "It would be impossible for anyone to download Connolly's code without root or direct FTP access to the site."
-- That's an assumption not based on any firsthand evidence. Hackers hack variously every day. But that aside, Jem then argues that the "competitor" was in the process of "reverse engineering." However, reverse engineering would still require the permission of the copyright holder.
I didn't realize we just extended this charge to hacking, so I guess someone will be arrested soon, but if you hack into a site to download it, you are still probably giving yourself either root or ftp access to download it, therefore that statement is still correct. Reverse engineering to my knowledge is not illegal unless you have a license agreement specifically covering that. I don't have enough information to really go into that.
5. "The code committed to the Mambo OS project was not the same code that Sakic wrote for Furthermore;" and "Emir Sakic developed a way to do the same thing dynamically and committed it to the Mambo core."
-- The code committed to Mambo was done under contract and paid for by the Literati Group. The contract stipulates that "Upon finished project all copyright rights to code written by [Sakic] will belong to literatigroup.com."
This reply means absolutely nothing. It's not even on topic of what it's rebutting. The contract quoted is irrelevant because he is not contributing the copyrighted code. He is contributing different code. The fact that the person bringing these charges never even looked at the other code is unbelievable. From the Newsforge article "Connolly admits that he has not compared the code for himself, or even looked at the Mambo code to verify that it contains code developed specifically for Furthermore." Ok he's saying you stole my stuff, but I haven't looked at my stuff or your stuff, I just believe you did and therefore it's true. Go work for CBS.
Regarding the rest of it, it seems that he is confusing copyright with patents. You can copyright specific code, but not the function of that code. There may be 10 ways to draw a circle on a screen. You copyright your code to do that. Maybe you use arc functions. Someone else does the same thing pixel by pixel. Someone else calls a draw line function with a length of 1 pixel. All of them may produce identical results however the copyright holder can not sue the second two parties and claim infringement because the resulting output is the same. This is where software patents come into play, and he does not to my knowledge have a patent on the format. It would be shot down by prior art if he did.
So what he is almost admitting to is sure, the code is different, but the result is the same, and therefore it's infringement. Not under copyright law it's not.
11. "Mambo users are safe. [BUT] Nothing can stop Connolly from making good on his public threats to sue innocent end-users -- anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason -- but the legal basis for such action is nonexistent."
-- Incorrect. Mambo users are not safe, per se. And that's not a consequence of the wildly erroneous "anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason" assertion. On filing a claim, an attorney certifi
It was a joke:) The quality was terrible on that, and often is on thermals. Stuff received on an inkjet or laser fax is far more readable. I'm not even sure that the person making $550/hr is the one that owns this fax. I would find that hard to believe anyway because law firms receive such a volume of faxes that they would want high quality.
It won't mean anything for hacked web pages. It's just a secure link between those two points that isn't vulnerable to sniffing. Those points still connect to the internet and therefore one can worm their way in that way and possibly intercept the traffic at the points of origin, thus defeating the quantum encryption.
The only way that will be secure is if you have an isolated network using only quantum links.

Actually no it wasn't fact. A fact is a known statement that is considered true.
For example, he is being sued because he showed a news paper with a headline that they never ran. He altered the headline and presented it as fact, but that headline never ran.
He presented the fact that Bush was responsible for getting the Bin Laden family out as fact, when it was Richard Clark that did this. Clark informed Moore of this long before his movie that it was he that authorized it and not the president and Moore chose to present the lie anyway.
There are many more such examples of this film. He also takes many things out of contents and puts them together to deliberately give you an opinion that you could not possibly form if they were taken in context. And it's done in a way to make it look bad.
Why this film does not fall under campaign finance is beyond me. This should be a 527 just like the swiftboat veterans ads.
How about "Slashdot Asks The Candidates"
on
Open the Debates
·
· Score: 1
I want to see a slashdot style ask the candidates, where we pose several questions to each candidate, and then there's a "The Candidates respond" feature with those answers.
First off, any questions about vietnam or national guard are automatically tossed. That's all anyone is talking about. It might be nice to know what Kerry actually stands for. Bush has a 4 year track record to judge him on. You either like it or you don't. But in order to decide if Kerry is a better replacement, you need to know what he is about, and he's not really providing that information.
Personally I'd like to take everyone who is "Anti Bush" rather than "Pro Kerry" (which seems to be most of the opposers) and have them pose questions to be answered by Kerry and Nader. I mean if you want Bush out, who is to say that Nader isn't the better replacement choice?
That's what they are talking about. Some students have gotten their own cable/dsl and hooked up a wireless router to it. They are not extending the schools network.

Not true. Microsoft Bob was an innovation. One developed totally in house. And we can see how well that did :)
You missed the point of this. Microsoft deliberately locked out a Novell product from their operating system and then refused to allow them the information to make it work thus killing it off.
