Of course it's important! to IBM. They are using the standard, and they want a government to support it, which will be, in turn, supporting the use of IBM products because they use the standard.
hey man, don't ruin it for the rest of us.
businesses need to make money, and if they decide to release something for free once they've made all the money they were going to on it, then i would say that's a very good business practice. unlike some other companies that want hold on to copyrights for years and years after it should already belong to the public.
if you're blaming cnet for this then why not blame google ten times over? their google cache is a publication of soooooo much personal information, even after a person deletes it from the original page.
the holodeck on startrek doesn't even work with projectors. it "uses" lots of tiny tracor beams. soooooo. we need to start inventing tractor beams.... maybe also a deflector dish.
this will probably be modded down, but i mean really. i know slashdot is appreciated for being fast, but "the these symphonies" can be corrected with a small amount of checking. also linking to a secondary source is almost as bad.
Well, Napster is one of the monthly fee models, right? So all you have to do is download 200 songs and use them for only a month. There's your 10cts per song.
Seriously, the solution will only alleviate any effects caused by downloading too much from Napster. Which doesn't happen, so this won't do anything.
The precedent is that a company could be held responsible if they encourage and enable copyright infringement, such as torrent sites with illegal software. Otherwise things like ftp, floppy disc, cd-rs, networks, etc. would all be at risk.
in openid, you are known as username @ someservice by giving your url at the given service, so unless every person used only one service to sign up with, that wouldn't happen.
for example, I could be mikeyin @ tivoforumB but there could still be someone making posts on the forum i'm from using mikeyin @ wilcofanjournal.
from TFA -
"The drives will be available "early next year" for between $2,500 to $9,000 each."
the yearly fee is only the for the other solutions that are already available like -
"Other solutions exist to delete data or lock the computer if a user enters too many failed passwords or does not login at all over a specified length of time -- Beachhead Solutions will sell you their offering for $129 a year per computer."
To summarize, the new drives aren't on a yearly fee, only the other offerings mentioned that are already on the market.
I'm also a Libertarian. People should only be able to do what they want as long as they don't harm other people. Consent laws and child pornography laws are there to protect the kids from being exploited. I was in highschool not too long ago, and at that age I really didn't know what I was doing. I definitely felt like I did though, or at least pretended I did. The fact is, laws are in place to prevent kids from being exploited and harmed mentally if not also physically.

wouldn't techblog have copyrights on their text. this is a pretty blantant reuse of the text.
I know that in Georgia, there is a privacy clause in it's constitution. Can a federal law void that?
the test was done after exposing the mice to urine swabs of females. i'm not sure i would be singing if i was sniffing urine.
DARPA made the max speed for the race be 45mph
"oh cool this door only opened enough for me" "OW! my knee!"
it is probably because only the source is gpl'd not the textures.

why haven't tractor beams been researched on? so many technologies would be possibles with tractor beams. holodecks, space elevators, etc.
What I don't understand is why you would link to a page that has a link to what we want. 2nd degree news isn't news.

Only if they started sticking ads in vi and decided to also sell it ad-free.

I think the author entangled his drive ideas.

sorry, i mean the actors are aging too fast, and it's getting harder to pass them off as younger kids like their character is.
