That is what democracy is all about. If we can't criticize the president, then we don't have democracy. Can someone criticize the Iranian president, and remain free in Iran?.
I agree with you, Bruce.
It seems like your issue is that they didn't acknowlege your contribution in BusyBox, with regard to this lawsuit.
BusyBox is widely used and your contributions are invaluable to the project. I can see why your upset.
Just because someone else took over maintainance and development, doesn't remove your right as a copyright holder.

On the verge of dumping firefox after years of use. 3.5.2 was horrible. 3.5.3 crashed within the first 5 minutes of use.
The #1 reason I would dump any SW product is stability. If it can't perform its intended function without crashing then nothing else matters. Lets just hope I don't need to switch to Chrome to get this to post.
One of my laptops has an issue with IE7/IE8 crashing on certain pages.
I'm almost certain this is a javascript issue somehow, but I haven't found a solution on Google.
Firefox 3.5.2 works fine on the same laptop. Should I go out and tell everyone IE7 is junk,
and IE8 crashes after 5 minutes?
Actually... Aircraft can break apart due to excess speed, or more importantly "high speed buffeting"
Commercial Airliners fly at a very narrow range. Known as Coffin Corner Where the aircraft is neither low-speed or high speed buffeting.
You are correct in stating that a pitot tube malfunction is not a computer malfunction.
The question becomes how did the pilots handle that.
Your 100% correct in stating that a plane could accelarate through "coffin corner" and break apart.
I'm suprised that there isn't a better web reference than WSJ for updates to an aircraft story.
Microsoft has had a pretty tarnished name among the nerd community for a long time. Is it any wonder that their products are losing market share? It's really only inertia that's propping them up now. ALL of the following are gaining market share at the expense of Microsoft:
When did Microsoft have a good name in the nerd community? 1975 before objecting to the sharing of Altair Basic?
The problem is the AMA has shielded BAD TERRIBLE Doctors from being found out.
They get lawsuits sealed and keep on issuing credentials to worst 2%.
The worst Doctors account for a huge percentage of the lawsuits.
The AMA protects them, we can't find out who they are.
But they could ask patients to submit positive results to the same review site.
AT&T ask me questions like "Did I solve your problem?" and "Would you rate my service as excellent?"
Why cant a nurse do a patient exit briefing to ensure the patient is satisfied with their treatment and service..?
What about the possibility that the DLL launched a trojan, which restricted explorer.exe functionality?
I've noticed some cracks do restrict access to certain files and folders.
CS4 is new.. if the DLL "hack" was written for Vista and kept working in Windows 7, and so created the problems reported.
The "Recording Industry vs. the People" site has become incredibly ad-heavy. It now has layer ads that won't dismiss, a link farm, and regular Google ads. This thing has advertising from services I've never even heard of, like "shareasale.com". Amusingly, it has ads for RIAA-controlled music, and even for the iTunes store.
Block "st.blogads.com" to make it at least tolerable.
Before you get modded OT and NYCL will miss your post, I suggest that you politely email him.
I enjoy his many submissions to Slashdot, so perhaps people should consider donating to his website, instead of criticizing his advertising.
At one point, Google was using half the college's bandwidth running their search bot.
Something people should think about next time they say "limit bandwidth" or "6mbs" is not needed for anything other than downloading MP3s from P2P.
If the "we're selling a license" argument was realistic, When was the last time someone got replacement media for the Music they'd purchased on a Music CD from the store?
I've never heard of Anyone getting their Music CD replaced for the cost of the CD itself, by a record company or store.
Sun T2 uses 8-Cores & 64 Threads, like HyperThreading on steroids.
This processor comes to its own running applications that can take advantage of thread-level parallelism (TLP)

Actually, Google has used Akamai technology and services.
Google.com DNS was hosted by Akamai, and some of their other services use Akamai for content delivery such as YouTube. As Google has grown, they have become less reliant on Akamai.
Google are offering this service to store PUBLIC DOMAIN data. If people don't want to release the data as public domain, then this aint the service for them.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Domain
I didn't see any "references" in the application. There is numerous patents relating to EEG technology. I work with Quantitative EEG technology as part of my day job.
There is definitely prior art for "de-artifacting" EEG data.
Russ Nelson is not some rookie on his first server.
For those who don't know he is a major contributor to the qmail support list.
He publicly stated that he does not support spammers. But yet he is still caught because of SpamCops ridgid policies.
I think his experience highlights exactly what is wrong with SpamCop and RBLs in general.
There was this girl who reported 5 times to the school principal that this guy was touching her inappropriately. Her legal guardian at the time was a Navy JAG lawyer of some standing. The girl fought back, the school threatened her with expulsion, the JAG lawyer threatened the principal with feloney charges for "failing to report sexual battery of a child" and "practicing law without a license" plus a few others.
A friend in the medical business, used to hold a staff position for DARPA. She has a teddybear with passive means of checking pulse & other stats on her high-dependency daugther, when the bear is held close.
They also have a matchbox sized transponder for medical feedback, but it is not GPS-based (It uses bluetooth triagulation to get position info) You couldn't hide this in thongs, the wearer knows about it.
Some of this gear were spin-off demonstrators of DARPA technology.
Your post is accurate in the balance is favored towards the plantiff.
I do not download MP3s at all, because most P2P software is a good way to screw up a perfectly good computer.
However, If I ever got sued by RIAA, I would probably counter-sue under RICO(Racketeering) laws. These cases of a grandmother who never owned(or operated etc) a computer being sued etc. is example enough that their process is flawed, and any subsequent proceedings is a fishing exercise for evidence.
Also, I do host unsigned artists on my servers, and since the RIAA doesn't have any legal claim to their work - any action on their part as a result of the unsigned work would be perjurious or otherwise illegal.

I sometimes work with autistic children.
IMHO There is a genetic component. Many things "cause" autism - Its never one cause for a particular individual case.

After that the girl had "Go Navy" on her shirt
