Calling the Egyptians 'African' is a kind of stretching. Well, they lived mostly in geographical Africa, but the rest of Africa didn't really adopt their culture/inventions. Europe, on the other hand did.
1. the innocent user threw away the email with the data considering it spam. (the judge's decision was unneeded) 2. the not so innocent user downloaded and stored the data on his own machine. (the judge's decision was futile)
The least likely scenario (0.1%) is that he still kept the sensitive data on the google account.
If they can order the removal of an account, why can't they order the removal of a single message???
"slashdot" is not against the proliferation of open source code. Feel free to download, modify and spread any GPL licensed source (we on slashdot would like to do the same with music and film).
Copyright is not a goal in GPL. It is a tool, to preserve the freedom of being able to modify and distribute the modified versions of the code. It is really amazing some people still cannot comprehend this simple thing.
Were you just as eager when M$ sued russian schools about their pirated Windows versions? In THAT case, the one sued was a real education institution. In THIS case, the one sued is a for profit company.
To me, it seems Monsato tries (and succeeds) in gaming the system. It must have cost them lots of coins, and us our future. This wouldn't be a problem (to me), if they stay at home and do this in their country, but the sad thing is they bring their crop elsewhere.
Not just that, but if your field is 'infected' by their gene, it is you who must destroy your whole crop, and they are not paying any penalty for ruining your income.
I doubt, she would have written another book, if she couldn't make a living from the first. There is a problem but the solution is not a complete abolishment of copyright.
1. There are two evils fighting. One of them has some legal business, the other is purely illegal and harmful. Choose the lesser evil.
2. The malware people don't work to eradicate M$. So, if they 'win', it means both evils stay around. M$ doesn't have much chance, but if they 'win', it means, one (or more) evil stops bothering us. Choose the meaningful choice.
I guess, they will eventually find a habitable exoplanet or moon. By that time Mars or some other planet or moon will have a permanent population in our solar system. Given the incentive, it is almost sure they will develop 50% light speed travel and populate the exoplanet too. We won't live to see it anyway.
Anyway, finding such a habitable place seems the easiest, safest and cheapest of the steps.
Not all of the Best Buy material was a lie, but i find applying security updates on Linux way easier than on Windows. I also find Linux safer than Windows. Those parts where they say Windows is safer/easier to update are blatant lies.
They could have written the truth and only the truth.

I just wonder why is it cheaper now, compared to 10-20 years ago? Or why is it cheaper for a private company?
Buy five with hardwired moods (since it is a volume discount). Probably less prone to faults.
But the DRM in it is state-of-art!

>Why don't they use *BSD code then ?
There is no BSD licensed multimedia player with equal or better qualities as ffmpeg.

Yeah, I go defend M$, and see what i got for it. Fuck them, astroturfers.
It's a no brainer for two reasons.
1. There are two evils fighting.
One of them has some legal business, the other is purely illegal and harmful.
Choose the lesser evil.
2. The malware people don't work to eradicate M$. So, if they 'win', it means both evils stay around.

The second option is the correct answer. Say hello to uncle salmon.

Single patent system, so they could effectively fight Open Source (which is not centered in a single country)

For some time Alsa was the "new tech". Now PulseAudio. By the time it stabilizes, there will be something else.
