Ray, you're best qualified to answer this here... is PJ's assessment of the whole forfeiture of copyrights thing at Groklaw correct?
They lose rights, not the copyrights themselves. If the court agrees, the injunction would mean that they can't collect damages until they quit whatever the court tells them to quit.

Ironic that here in New Zealand, YOUR Westpac and YOUR ASB (you know it as Commonwealth Bank of Australia) are the TWO banks that charge absolutely no fees whatsoever. No account maintenance fees, no POS card usage fee, no ATM fee, nothing.

Actually, YOU'RE wrong. Open though the specification may be, that's "open" with a lowercase "o". To read it, the license for it states that you MAY NOT CREATE A FLASH PLAYER (or, I think, anything else useful)
Command Prompt FTP? Although that's certainly an option, I really don't think that would fly with Microsoft's majority target marget... If you meant Windows Explorer FTP, that's provided by IE so I wouldn't use that as an example.
Actually, in all technicality, an OS should include a web browser - without IE for Windows, how do you expect to download from the website Firefox or any other browser?
I've always thought the "browser war" thing was a bad example.
(Before you suggest "have a repository like Synaptic or Yum with all third party browsers and even IE so people have a choice" let me mention three words that'll shoot that down: InstallShield Corporation. Lawsuit)
Off-topic a bit, but where does this whole "Allow or cancel" thing come from? It sure as hell doesn't come from UAC, whose options are always "Continue or Cancel" - so what is it?
GPL failes item 9, and MAY fail 5 under some circumstances (I can not think of any, there may not even be any, but I believe this is the case). On the upside, it doesn't prevent you making nuclear weapons with it like iTunes does.
Whatever you do, do NOT buy Lexmark. In my experience, it's cheaper to throw out a Lexmark printer and buy a new one than buy a new cartridge for it. I use Canon, and I have no problems. $20 cartridges (with 20% off next purchase if I give back the empty one) - not Canon brand obviously. HP is fairly meh. Brother is ATROCIOUS.
Most countries it IS illegal. Example: a person sets fire to a dog in this country, the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) would prosecute under the Animal Cruelty Act (or whatever it's called) and impose a fine up to the tens of thousands, and slap you with a jail term. Never seen a judge NOT impose as high a punishment as they can under current law.
So I can at least say that noone from our country (should) be burning kittens just because it's uncensored, because they sure as hell wouldn't get away with it for long.
More countries need this type of law. Seriously, I cannot understand how you can tolerate animal cruelty anywhere. Sick fucks.
And yes, I do think Halal Killing is barbaric. And someone needs to nuke those chinese with them bears.
Ah, that clears a few things up. That was really confusing before. It's hard not to think you mean personal information sharing when you look at the privacy focus literally every Google discussion eventually rolls around to.
Well, that's not precisely true right there. You did realise that the statements that Gadzuki character made were based on quotes by Mozilla Corporation executives? I suppose it's also worth pointing out that you can't actually change the search engine from Google AT ALL on some localised builds. How "free" is that?
Don't get me wrong, I like Firefox, and use it daily. And I sure as hell test any websites I make in it. But after the shenanigans Google's been pulling lately, I just don't trust THEM.
Um, why is controls on Information Sharing "Bad" if Google disagrees with it, but "OMG Greatest Thing Ever" if, say, Microsoft or AOL disagree with it? I would prefer MORE controls on Information Sharing, not LESS.
You can rest assured, Google will fight against such things as Privacy Protection Laws, and Data Retention Restriction laws. Heaven forbid they not be allowed to retain 75 years of your personal data to mine.
No, I'm really not simplifying the issue. I imagine that Microsoft's going to write an ugly hack for Explorer to allow the search box in the start menu to be overwritten by Google... but I'm frightened of the dodginess of how that hack is going to be written.
Now, as to whether Google are idiots... http://desktop.google.com/gettingstarted.html#vist a - I think maybe, yes. They don't say "you can turn off Windows' Indexer, and Google Desktop will use no more resources than Windows'" they say "it'll use more resources". It should also be noted that Google could quite easily have used the Windows index as the data source for GDS rather than re-inventing the wheel.
Unless in that case Microsoft's beta will be "How to Read MSDN For Dummies" by McGraw Hill, "Dedicated to the folks at Google".
Your post is not talking about monopolies, it was talking about legislating just because you did not like the product's features. This is pure, unadulterated bullshit. Stop pulling crap about monopolies when they are not the topic of discussion.
Here is the line which I use as the basis for my response: "If they want to conduct business in a country where I'm a voter....well, yes, I indeed expect them to do whatever the hell I want them to do. If they choose to do things that don't benefit me, I have the right to elect leaders that make and prosecute laws that prevent them from continuing it"
That does not say: "If they want to conduct business in a country where I'm a voter....well, yes, I indeed expect them to not attempt to ruthlessly crush all of the local business to do it. If they choose to do things that ruthlessly crush local business, I have the right to elect leaders that make and prosecute laws that prevent them from continuing it"
You sure as hell do NOT have the right to elect leaders to make and prosecute laws to stop doing stuff just because you don't like it. They are elected to make laws to serve the MAJORITY, not you.
No, nothing unique at all - the only difference is the search box (which can be turned off) on the start menu which replaces run (basically you type in what you want to run by name or filename and it whips it up from there).
Google is, in fact, complaining about nothing. If Google's installer turns off Indexing Service via the Service Control Manager API, the following dialogs will display:
.
Yup, none. You'll get a UAC dialog at the beginning of the install for obvious reasons, but then you get that now anyway.
No, if the product is harmful to people, then it can and should be made illegal. If people just don't like it, it's nothing to do with the damn government whether I'm allowed to sell it. People should just not buy it!
Independent thought. Novel concept, I know. We should absolutely have the government telling us what we can and can not buy.

I can name one: Internet Explorer. Well, Unix anyway - but it SHOULD be compatible.
Redundant indeed. That's a copy paste from the official game forums and everything.

Then disable the indexing service: http://4sysops.com/?p=457
IS THAT REALLY HARD? Yes, it's confusing that they renamed the search service. BOO FSCKING HOO!
