I don't really care about Pluto being a planet or whatever. But it's really nice seeing a state pass a law defining something as something else. They're voting a friggin' fact!!
If this is indeed legal, they could cover their asses passing laws stating Teh Internet is a Series Of Tubes, or declaring God a supreme being, nonexistent or even integer. As in Pluto's case, this is moot, since it won't make any difference whatsoever (mmm maybe on our conception of New Mexico legislators, but that's yet to be seen).
Lawmakers should make laws, scientists should make science, with any of those groups stepping as little as possible on the other's territory.
... teletransportation doesn't seem so difficult to develop.
... we can make those autodriving cars fly.
... we can deploy safe cold fusion in your living room.
... cancer's cure will be announced in a matter of minutes (by a non-Iranian country)
... etc
That argument is the most stupid one I've heard in ages. Someone please establish a connection between NASA getting someone to the Moon and MySpace verifying users' authenticy*. I'm really curious.
* What really creeps me out is that someone WILL find one and be modded both funny and insightful.
Sorry to hit you again with the GP's point, but why should they care about older versions of Windows? Doesn't that undermine the get-your-new-shiny-omg-pretty-colors-OS-same-as-be fore-but-with-round-corners philosophy?
We hear every day about MS dropping support from old OS's (something I would stand for, as long as those systems weren't as fucking widely used as W2K is); infecting them and not Vista/XP/Whatever makes the latter look more secure (and as Windows users go, they only way to move).
Feel free to bash me anyway you want, I was only playing Devil's advocate here.
I want my... I want my Mp3... I want my... I want my Mp3...
Now look at them Lucents That's the way you do it You play your music on your Mp3 That ain't workin'! That's the way you do it Get your money for patents and your suits for free
Now that ain't workin' That's the way you do it Lemme tell you these guys ain't dumb Maybe get a lawsuit for your little codec Maybe get a lawsuit for your Zune
We gotta install class action lawyers Custom codec circuitery We gotta move these patent infringements We gotta move these Alcatel bills
I love the irony when people claim that the GIMP is not enough because they need Photoshop, and how Jabber clients will never achieve Skype's level of voice transmission quality.
I don't want to imagine what would everybody say if a new Linux distro stopped supporting some of the most used software in the world...
{You got charged too much} or {You agreed to pay the stated quantity on checkout}?
If just before clicking "Proceed with payment", the deal is $X, then you'll have to pay $X. This story is not on "what users were charged with", but on "what users agreed to pay on checkout".
I'm incredibly astounded it ever flew... and so should be anyone with a law interpreter and a logic parser...
This makes it even more obvious that all those lawsuit threats, properly settled out of court, should be treated as extortion, couse that's what that is.

Sorry to interrupt, but when you said
I guess you meant
Because here in Spain, there are no civil laws against copyright infringement when there's no money involved...
Sounds like a fair fight...

Erhm... at the risk of being whoosed... Sweden != Switzerland (Land of teh Blond vs. Land of teh Chocolate)
Cause I'd be sooooooo relaxed if my Government tries to pass a law in favour of torture, but only if they admit they've been doing it for ages.
It's like a 7-mile-wide billboard shouting "SORRY, WE HAVE NO FUCKING SHAME"...
You are about to send Micros... download nice new MSN emoticons. Cancel or Allow?

Mmmm... I think you meant "Not as long as "...
OTOH, since you posted a little earlier than me, then pardon my nitpicking. The issue has already been fixed...

Sure, but it seems they turned Aero off..
So... is this 'dir system32\*.exe'...?

He had the power to offer you an out of court settlement...
I tried MSDN, but their implementation seemed buggy...
The specs are to be released tomorrow around 3:00 pm, 4:30 pm and maybe we'll have another PR during the evening.

Yeah, sorry, I was afraid you'd pick on that. I mistook Submit for Preview.
