Places like that still exist. They're just harder to find, and not only because of the police, but because of P2P as well.
The good thing about Hong Kong is that education until 9th grade is compulsory, and English is taught by default. So most people would be able to communicate in basic English, which is enough to work out deals.
I'm not a ballistics expert, but I believe different guns leave different identification marks on bullets, and unless Gil Grissom is lying to me, that's how some crimes are solved.
In any case, they may be passing your idea as a law in Cali.
I remember SGI did its own comparison of SystemV and Linux source code, and found only trivial similarities.
Does anyone know of a similar comparison by IBM comparing AIX and Linux?
If they haven't done one, perhaps it's time for one. While they couldn't publish examples of the code, but they could do a similar comparison and post the results only.
Perhaps they don't, which is fine too. But they aren't even providing a revision history of any sort.
While I realize that they do not need to, it would be nice if they did, as any changes made by either party would be beneficial to both. For example, if they helped out, the KHTML developers could port the differences quicker, find bugs and/or move on to do other things.
Apple has stayed true to the letter of the LGPL, but not to its spirit.
It seems they got all the modified files, but aren't aware of what has been changed. The OP suggested using diff, but that's entirely unhelpful in making KHTML better.
Regardless of what people may think, there is no reason for Apple not to provide the CVS history. Until and unless further information about this is made available, Apple, IMO, are just being asinine about it.
You have to understand what has been changed, and how it may affect other parts of the application. It may have worked for Safari, but it may break on KDE.
All they're asking is for some help from the Safari developers.
There's an idea for Google right there: a Google benchmark.
Stress-test your own systems with randomized queries Google (or MSN or Yahoo!) gets and see how well it stacks up against Google's (or MSN's or Yahoo!'s) hardware, rated with GMarks (or YMarks! or....you get the idea).
Pirated DVDs and VCDs are no longer as ubiquitous as they once were.
The HK police and Customs Department have been cracking down on these vendors because of increased pressure from other governments and because many of them were linked to triads.
Also, the widespread use of BitTorrent and other P2P systems have made them increasingly redundant.
Even if he did copy their graphics and logos and so on, their lawyers asked the entire site to be made offline.
How is that fair? By all means, use the DMCA and whatever other laws to request that he remove the offending graphics. But remove the site from public access? That, too, is crossing the line.

I know that Scouts learn by doing things, such as tying knots, building camp fires and so on.
Does this mean they'll learn about IP by using BitTorrent, Exeem and so on? If so, about 70% of Hong Kong deserves that badge.
3 Slashvertisements in a row, Microsoft working, with Ford no less, to prevent crashes on the road and now we need free alternatives to Linux distros.
This is what April 1st should be like.
Are they *really* saying that a CPU is going to pump enough heat to maintain a molten state inside the cooling device?
Ever used a P4 for rendering?
my AdBlock doesn't seem to be working correctly. I still see ads on Slashdot.
Any tips or regexps I can use?
In Azureus, Tools -> Console
It's recording everything I do!

I'll take Sarge or Woody over Bob or Clippy any day.
I love that movie. Definitely one of Al's monologues that made me stand up and clap.
It's because of all the Adblock users out there that we get ads as stories now. The summary even reads like one. Or it's just a slow news day.
It all depends on how tight your tin foil hat is.
In ICQ's Security and Privacy Permissions settings, you can choose to decline World Wide Pager, EmailExpress and other forms of spam.
I'm using 2003a, so your settings may be different.

That's because the law allows this. That doesn't mean adherents to the LGPL should.

Copying (parts of)code is pointless.

It's all about the name. If the product has a catchy name, it will take off, because it is easy to market.
Lingo (think Shockwave) never took off. Vonage sounds like 0wnage. Skype, however, sounds like hype, making it easier to conjure up catchy headlines.
Of course, it also sounds like tripe, which is useful, just in case it ever falls flat on its face.

What on earth do you mean? Slashdot cares way too much about standards, if anything.
After all, HTML 3.2 is a standard.

Also, IANAL, but aren't parodies deemed fair use?
If they locked down raw sockets and made it available only to administrators or root users, that would solve it.
Gibson points out that other operating systems do this, while Windows doesn't. The problem lies there, not in the inclusion of raw sockets API.
They would have checked out hell, but it's pre-release at the moment.
Personally, I think it's vaporware, and clearly not open-source.
Simply put: Passion of the Christ DVD sales
IIRC, WinFS will support a file existing in multiple locations or folders.
There's more here, but it's not too detailed. It seems they're assigning folders to files rather than storing files in a folder-like hierarchy.
This is similar to the storing your emails in folders (like in Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.) vs labeling your emails (Gmail).
