What contract? Shouldn't contracts be signed? GPL is a license to override basic copyright. This license has conditions, without them the license (not contract) is void.
I see two ways: 1. send them anonymously, i'm sure someone curious enough will read through it, and there is a chance they will find it interesting 2. pay them enough for the appearance in the news
Google truly can thank M$ most of its success, but only because M$ was slow to realise how much money is in the Web. If there was no M$ the Mac would have took over its place, and Linux would have still be born. What we would miss is probably the vast spam and malware, because that stuff wouldn't thrive so much without the vulnerable dungheap Windows is. People could still have a choice, those who don't care with computers but need one, could still use the Mac. And the rest could use the various BSD/Linux etc. Heh, probably even Beos and OS/2 would still be alive. Sorry, M$ guy, without M$ the world would have been so much happier.
One thing you forgot, in M$Win it would be enabled by default, and wired in without any chance to remove it. With Linux, you at least get a chance to find a distro without it, or be able to remove it completely .
Ok, the explanation: this weapon would be dangerous only to its user, or the user's city at most. In any way, it would solve the problem which created it in the first place.
And they could probably cut the carbon cord in a friction of second too. The falling cable could destroy cities, how fun. I believe the safest application of this thing would be a weapon.
If you got a dual licensed code, usually you go only with one of the licenses. Going with both usually doesn't work. I mean, if you wanted to use this very same code with a BSD codebase, you surely drop the GPL license.
I don't know why did they strip the author info, but the GPL doesn't require to keep it. So, which license is more free?
Right, since people who use adblock are unlikely to click on those annoying adverts, their bandwidth usage is wasted anyway. If a site owner is still so dumb he wants to block me, i probably won't want to see their site anyway. If i want, i could always use a different agent string. This firefox blocking crap is just another advertising of firefox's ad blocking capabilities.
If you experience that some company screws you by doing the same to you, you can always notify M$ to sue the pants off of the unethical bastards. M$ will surely help you:)
M$'s method was always to steal an idea, add their own incompatible extensions, monopolise the service by killing any competitor, then bleed the customers and create these unacceptable EULA's. Now it turns out, they patented their evil ways too. At which point you want to say no to their methods?
technical comments on ooxml given by the standard bodies. I'm sure Miguel can read, probably even did read those comments. They seem very technical, and the problems seem real.
You talk like Intel wouldn't do the same

AMD NDA Scandal
·
· Score: 1
Everyone wants the press writes only flattering stuff about them. NDA is normal, walking away before signing an NDA is also normal. Wtf is so scandalous here?
The best tool is cutting off zombie machines. That surely works as an education to the dimwits who let their machine become zombie. All we need is a law that mandates ISP's to do this.
I'm a stakeholder. I pay money in form of tax which in turn is paid to support the ISO infrastructure. Also, the company i work for is member of our national standard body (which in turn is member of ISO).
ISO is supposed to serve all of us, not just M$. You don't have to have a position in ISO to become affected by it. Also you don't have to be in ISO to want it to be free of corporate manipulations.

The chinese gold farmers do this since years, isn't there already a patent for this business method?
Tax evasion is more like scientology than intelligent design :)

I don't think so, but even if it is so, it would be mostly harmless as a weapon compared to possible damage of its peaceful applications.

I didn't sign any eula, i bought a machine with preinstalled windoze.
I didn't even want to have it on the machine, but i couldn't buy it without.

Office 2007 sucks, i tried it, i dropped it.
OO works for me, though it could be better.

And it is not a Skype trojan either.
Any other email/im could be a vector for it.
A single lost case won't destroy their business model, like for SCO.
But surely would make future litigation more costly.

This is more like a coffin lid made of lead :)
Heh, what if the ddos zombies don't use DNS?
I would surely instruct my botnet to attack IP numbers instead of names (it is faster).
That model requires liberal amounts of rum.
