So US politicians don't try and push for laws that control content onthe internet? The US doesn't use space launch technology for military applications? Look at the power that the US holds in its hands and what it does with it. I'm sure China will be just as bad as the US, but frankly I doubt they would be much worse.
We will allow the USA to "join" with us in our space ventures when they stop oppressing their own people... and stop oppressing free, democratic people
> Before everyone says 'hey, they can tell by the RECEIVED line in the email that you didn't do it', who do you think is going to check it? Do you think the cops sent to arrest someone are going to check this?
Yes. Of course they will check it. Very thoroughly! And they'll need to impound all your computer equiptment for 5 years while they're doing those thorough checks.
Wouldn't that require changing the gun laws to actually allow people to easily obtain guns? Yeah, that'll make everything so much better. Less spam, more murders. What about morons who aren't computer literate enoough to understand faked headers? Hmm.. good solution, I'll start sending spam with faked headers of those very same morons, and as a group they'll exterminate themselves en masse.
Then you won't be voting for many UK politicians. For all intents and purposes we don't have the death penalty here. Though I believe it is still on the books for treason. On an aside, I believe it is also UK policy to not even extradite anyone if they would face the death penalty.

OMG, good point! I'm gonna ask for my subscription money back!
If your kids scratch your DVDs, lock them away. That'll teach the little buggers! Or I suppose you could just lock the DVDs away, but that would be inconvenient.
Then buy the lower spec model, and record in better format (more space taken, less tv recorded). Even better, don't buy one. I'm also guessing you aren't in japan, so you probably won't be able to buy one anyway.
Well if you like it, I'll check tonight if my local copy has updates not on freshmeat, and I'll update it if that's the case. So peek again in a day or so to see if there's an updated version. Note also that my skin supports the mplayer fullscreen pop-up control widget on the bottom edge, I forget what mplayer calls this.
As has been pointed out, they are not being fined for lying. They are being fined for making certain claims after being told by the court not to. And those claims haven't been determined as lies by the German court, but they have been determined as unsubstantiated. Basically if SCO doesn't try to prove their claims properly, they aren't allowed to make them, and fined if they do so.

The EU will give a Chinese general the off switch. Duh!

Perhaps not. But the British would be even more concerned if MS was German or French!
Well if you chainsmoke, of course you need a cough
No way!! I'm a lean mean skinny weakling!!
Have to read the article, understand it, try it out, calculate old and new boot times, then post to try and get fp..

Wow, I must be the only one that isn't sitting on the sidelines, and instead picking whichever one to use that I want.
This girl is a TERRORIST!! She is STEALING from musicians who will now DIE of poverty because of her, that makes her a MURDEROR!
Surely a minor can be taken to court for serious crimes? Like murder and terrorism?
Everyone knows Europe is split into 2 countries. Old-Europe and New-Europe. So yeah, it's not one country, it's two countries. ;)

Correction: Linus didnt develop a "new" operating system, he cloned a very old one (SCO Unix). ;)
Sex: Commit a sexual offence
Drugs: Get chemically castrated
Eunuch: That's what you'll end up as.
There's a moral tale there!

If the German courts start to fine on the basis of idiocy, we'd all better watch out.

No. I'd like to reiterate my point, that my mplayer skin perfectly meets my needs.
