Of course, suing the farmers to whom this company markets the seeds will more or less shut down any hope of future profit from the agricultural comminuty who are "just fine, thanks," with natural seeds that don't have hundred or thousand-dollar yearly fees attached. Most farmers have it hard enough already just getting enough money to pay the bills and feed the family...
This may or may not be related to the current topic, but I've just bee to the Interplay online store which appears to be down and unable to complete transactions at this time. Is this a result of the stated legal action?
As stated in an earlier post, Interplay has not been liquidated as of yet; only those entities in France have been dissolved (see linked article in post for update).
It's true what they say: ignorance is bliss. Until it gets you into trouble with the law...
This was an install on a home-built computer with a re-formatted hard disc using a fresh Win2K disc right out of the box... no Dell or HP influences whatsoever.
Hmmm... I couldn't remeber whether or not SpyBot ran on Linux or not, I thought it did when I made first post but after a quick visit to SB:S&D site I am no longer so sure...
In either case, I know of little to no spyware that runs on Linux so it really is a moot point anyway.
If created, would this Microsoft anit-spyware tool remove all of the spyware and adware that comes pre-loaded with Windows? A friend of mine ran Spybot S&D on a clean, out-of-the-box Windows machine, and SpyBot picked up several insatnces of propreitary malware before the machine even hooked up to the web...
And if this tool doesn't remove all of the aforementiond preloaded spyware, how can it possbily be effective at removing the non-Microsoft versions accquired over the course of normal Internet travel?
I go to MSN Groups and SpyBot tells me it has blocked the download of Adware Inc...
Just my thoughts on this as it develops.
