NBC provided streaming video for only a small proportion of Internet-connected computers: Those running more expensive versions of Vista -- what proportion of all the desktop computers connected to the Internet is this?
This isn't the first time I've seen "Vista-only" referenced in this thread. Are we talking about streaming via a mechanism other than nbcolympics.com?
The software was found not to violate any copyrights. It's not illegal. It only violates Blizzard's terms of service. They're free to ban your account for using the bot, but that's all.
Huh?
Blizzard owns a valid copyright in the game client software, Blizzard has granted a limited license for WoW players to use the software, use of the software with Glider falls outside the scope of the license established in section 4 of the TOU, use of Glider includes copying to RAM within the meaning of section 106 of the Copyright Act, users of WoW and Glider are not entitled to a section 117 defense, and Glider users therefore infringe Blizzardâ(TM)s copyright. MDY does not dispute that the other requirements for contributory and vicarious copyright infringement are met, nor has MDY established a misuse defense. The Court accordingly will grant summary judgment in favor of Blizzard with respect to liability on the contributory and vicarious copyright infringement claims in Counts II and III.
Actually no, I didn't know the joke, but thank you for the education! My post was a reference to a lesser known Monty Python sketch called "The Book Shop" that I was determined to make come hell or high water.

We're all going to DIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!
What did he play in concert?
!!!!rrrray
Wait a sec...
Weird Al did not produce a song called "Constipated".
The "Here's your sign" guy is Bill Engvall.
Jeff Foxworthy is "You might be a redneck if...".
Note: You'd be surprised what the "Geek" Squad can't fix!
No. No I wouldn't.
What, you've never tried those mushrooms?

funny I didn't watch the olympics on the internet because it was vista only.
there simply are not enough vista users to melt the internet.
That didn't stop me from watching them on several XP systems...
And the rockers spend it on 5000 pounds of cocaine
And who's to say who came out on top?

For good or ill, that was the court's ruling.
Are so few people dual booting Vista and Linux that this story hasn't hit Slashdot until now? Is it even still applicable?
is Hudson Hawk Vs. The Monsters.
Do some more research. Prison is anything but profit in the US. It is a burden on local resources and eats tax dollars like candy.
Oh the profit's not for us. It's for the private industry building and running the new prisons.
I remember saving up to buy an Atari 2600 when the price was reduced to $50.
On a side note, I totally remember that commercial.
Only 50 bucks! 50 bucks?!?!
And then shits on the legacy of this story with Dark Knight Strikes Again
Toy Story and Monster's Inc don't have appeal for children?
Seriously?
Of all the Pixar films, Cars was the only one I thought only had appeal for children.
But you do have to pay extra for it, which is worse than having to lie to get it.
Only if your soul has no value.
Are you seriously suggesting the possibility that this is a plot by Microsoft to somehow break or degrade Unix/Linux servers?

Who lets facts get in the way of a good post?
Are you new here?
No no, you're thinking of Charles Dikkens, the well known Dutch author.
I hear OCZ has a new twist on brain waves.
That should be all he'll ever need.
Oh wait, You don't mind me karma-whoring off you, do you?
Not while they're on The List.
