The '1d,00,3a,00' part tells windows to remap capslock (1d) to left ctrl (3a). Might not work in games which read directly from hardware, but such games typically offer remapping of their own.
As the first poster said. I'm hoping, though, that this gets thrown out the window faster than it came in, because I use skype a lot, and love it. It would suck to have such a great service hampered by an idiotic lawsuit.
Well.. at the end of the day it would just affect the U.S. operations, as that patent doesn't flow into the international realm, including Denmark and Sweden where the two founders live.
Granted, they sold Skype to eBay, which may be the source of all this noise. Deep pocket to pick. The messenger services will be next I wager.
Little do they know, they are losing $588.34 trillion dollars a day by not selling to the Xiggawathians on planet Rofuble.
...which is 5x higher than what Xiggawathians got in wages.
...
Personally, having watched many downloaded movies, my budget is still limited. I revisit movies when I think they are good - why else buy the DVD, right? And I've deleted most of the downloaded stuff, cause it was crap.
There are only two movies so far I have "finalized" pirated, which I would otherwise have bought and added to my considerably large cupboard, had I not burned them: Underworld and Gothica. I should buy them though, and perhaps I will when I see a bargain sometime.
I've bought DVD movies before which turned out to be pure crap, so I don't feel too compelled to right my two wrongs. Feels like the dozens of crap movies in the box in the shag outweighs the two DVD-R discs in their jewel cases.
So, their 6.1 billion dollars lost is bullshit. Do they think that the pirates have a collective $6.1 billion in surplus on their budget or in their bank?
As far as I am concerned, had I not had the option to download, I'd still not have bought more movies than I already do, I'd just have to rely on reviews more, rather than use it as preview.
So, at most they have "lost" maybe €50 total, if each DVD would have cost €25, cause of me.

I believe you should have used the word "they're", a contraction for the phrase "there are".
they're = contraction of they are
Their post indicate they're [they are] clueless about grammar.
They're [They are] responsible for fscking up the points of their posts.
Tip: If you can substitute they are for their in a sentence, the term you need is they're.
there're = contraction of there are
There're [There are] several problems [plural noun] with correct grammar use today.
There're [There are] many LART beatings [plural noun] left to administer for thinking "they're" means "there are".
Sure, Real is at number 9, but most of their traffic is to one specific page:
http://www.real.com/support/faqs/how_the_hell_do_i _uninstall_this_damn_thing.html
"Sorry, we can't find the page you were looking for."
S.O.L.
That would make a GREAT entry into the competition. Some smart chap having this bright idea and makes a great GPL licenced program, and Microsoft finds out, patents it and sues the guy for thought theft. THE END

US only?
Yep! There is no entry for Country in the registration page, nor any non-US cell phone companies in the dropdown box.
Move on, nothing to see here.
