In other news, Spanish citizen pays terrorist, "100 million dollars" (in Dr. Evil voice) to keep his family from being fed to sharks with lasers mounted on their heads.
Extortion perpetuates extortion. Isn't this why many countries do not negotiate with terrorist? (aren't suppose to at least)
"Entire department staff dismissed for P2P lecture." May have made a better headline anyway.
I'm not necessarily saying he did the wrong thing here. Just some things to consider.
When google requested the various columns and images from the news site, did google agree to any type of non-redistribution of materials?
I'd imagine that google's bot simply asked the news site's webserver for the information via http requests; and the webserver handed out the goods with no conditions.
Wait. Lemme see if I understand you...
Wine is a set of API's that immitates the Win32 API so that applications designed to use Win32 API will work? What magic is it that it immitates the API without emulating them? But what's the difference in this context?

Your mother-in-law's report sounds like it came straight out of the Chinese government's press package.
Given what I know about her, perhaps.
The group is actively being suppressed by the Chinese government; it was legally outlawed in 1999 and its leadership and members are being persecuted.
Did I say something to the contrary of this?
In Vancouver there has been a non-stop protest against this outside of the Chinese embassy for several years now.
Intersting; but any insight as to why the Chinese government would be so anti-Fulan Gong? Perhaps your third-eye can come up with something contrary to what I have conjectured. Well, j/k about that third-eye thing, but really do you have any better ideas as to why the Chinese government would be so down on Fulan Gong?
From what I read after seeing the previous slashdot article about this, China is redirecting via falsifieng entries on DNSs to some web site in Canada about Fulan Gong. The website about Fulan Gong is filtered by The Great Firewall of China. So what is Fulan Gong? And why does China want it filtered? Well Fulan Gong seems to be some mystic art or some crap that seems to combine ideas from Budhism, Daoism, and Hinduism. The only thing that led me to beleive there was any truth to this was that the Chinese government was filtering it for some reason. I asked my wife who is from China about it. She got pissed off that I would even mention the words Fulan Gong. She says that some dude did a Chinese equivilant to Hilton Tilton. The guy basically made claims of superhuman powers and attributed them to his mastery of Fulan Gong. So people started following this and they started dying! These people don't go to the doctor because they think their qigong will allow them to heal themselves. Of course they die after being unable to cure themselves. More ways of dying that just self neglect, two factions of Fulan Gong are fighting like gang wars now. This was a report from my wife's mom who lives in China. I don't know why the Chinese government wouldn't just let these stupid people get Darwin awards. This is the same government that is looking for means of poplulation control.
A buddy and I got tired of seeing "X" used in so many places with different meanings.
Pedestrian X-ing
ActiveX
X-mas
Xmit (transmit)
XDock (cross-dock)
XML
X-Box
The full list eludes me at the moment, but the point is we started prounouncing the X's all the same regardless of the word. So from now on we say:
Pedestrian Christ-ing
Active Christ
Christ-mas (pronounce Christ instead of Cris)
Christ-mit
Christ-dock
Christ ML
Christ Box
Enjoy,

This sounds like a slightly different take on a fad from a few years ago called Citrix and MetaFrame.
I don't hear too much about Citrix anymore; and I suspect I wont hear too much about this stuff either.
If I'm walking down the street and someone robs me, what amount of force am I allowed to use to retrieve my stolen property? Can I chase him down and kill him to get my stuff back?
Anyway, I think the amount of damage that software can do to those that would steal it should be equally proportioned to the situation described above. Loss of home directory sounds like getting off easy.
Then again, just having the software delete itself would be the equivalent of recovering the stolen goods.

I also like Xbox controller (non s-type) for the same reason. You are not alone.
