My grandparents in rural Kansas had party lines, but that's because they were in a remote area. How exactly is this going to add value to the cellular phone?
IIRC, one of the joys of FOSS is that the community creates modifications (or, in this case, extensions). Why aren't people talking about boycotting the maker of the extension rather than Firefox themselves?
I don't think there's any blame to be placed here, but if there is, at least place blame where blame is due...
A US District Court is a fairly low-level court. As a result, this is but the first step in the process. You can be assured that the Feds are going to appeal this vigorously to the highest levels...
I didn't realize you could make German haute cuisine using SPAM...I knew about all the uses in pan-Asian cuisine, but German food with SPAM could be interesting!
First off, it just goes to show you how beholden the US government is to Microsoft money.
Second of all, it shows you why the US branch of a certain worldwide NGO based in the US has been so slow in adopting the methods of its parent...because, oddly enough, International has seen fit to partner with Transparency International. Your average USian knows nothing of TI, and those that do tend to poo-poo them as being insignificant.
With the fundies in charge and the technologists in the back pocket of the government, the growth of heart valves from adult stem cells will be prohibited in some obscure provision tucked into who knows what sort of must-pass spending bill...
From the USA: Nothing. They're headed back to the Dark Ages as the economy collapses. I wouldn't be surprised if the ISS ends up a big, expensive piece of space junk.
From the Chinese: Unclear. Space exploration doesn't carry a whole lot of practical value for them.
Unless the next 50 years brings a China v. India dickwaving contest, space advances in the next 50 years are quite unlikely.
With the RIAA in the back pocket of judges (campaign contributions, anyone?), Anderson v. Atlantic is unlikely to make any changes in the way things are done.
Sadly, the soapbox and ballot box are no longer effective, and it just might take nothing short of an all-out revolution to change the sad state of affairs in the world. Either that or the Apocalypse, one of the two...
People can go back to blogging sports events without getting thrown out of them. IIRC, the blogger from the paper in Louisville managed to get tossed out of the College World Series this year for blogging...
Why is it that when I read this article, I think of Microsoft trying to go up against the freak parade that is GoldenPalace.com, or any of the multitude of sports books or online poker sites scattered all over the internet?

...why anyone would want to use an OS in which the user can't be the local administrator of a PC that they already own?
It wants its party line technology back.

I can see it now: SPAMwurst, mit Kraut

Not only does this help the UK achieve zero population growth, it also keeps meddling foreigners out of the country...
Status as a terrorist organization once they declare war on the Belgian government
there are so many people out there who believe in creationism (particularly the type with the earth being 6000 years old) and intelligent design...
Sounds like this is going to be little more than a V-Chip, which is prior art and already mandated in all PCs currently made, IIRC...
Increased carbon footprint mandated by law.

you pay off the right judges, erm, make campaign contributions to elected judges...
It looks like M$ didn't grease the Governator's palm thoroughly enough...
How many times do I have to say it?
The weakest link in computer security is still the humans operating within the system...

What do you expect? This is Kansas we're talking about here, the land of folks who keep wanting intelligent design taught in their schools...
