    chairs throw CEO of Microsoft Steve Balmer into Cowboy Neal's coffee mug with 09F911029D74E35BD84156C5635688C0 on it while Ballmer launches baseless claims about Linux infringing on 235 patents.

    It's because carparks make governments and businesses money. Open wifi doesn't.

    Don't worry. England, Tanzania, and Kenya will be US protectorates if Bush has his way. Until then, don't count those attacks as attacks on US soil. I will give you the USS Cole and WTC1 though.

    "but any human being's funeral and grave should be respected". Emphasis on HUMAN BEING. By having read this post you have agreed to mod it +1 insightful. Hey, if software houses can get away with it why can't I? :)

  13. Re:since when do users pay royalties? on Microsoft Says Free Software Violates 235 Patents · · Score: 0

    IANAL. There's a distinction: In your hypothetical case, I would assume you're doing it as a 'work for hire', as an employee of your company and not an individual. Meanwhile, in all the source code I've looked at I haven't seen "(C) $YEAR $COMPANY", it's always been "(C) $YEAR $NATURAL_PERSON" In the former case, the legal entity known as $COMPANY is considered to be the developer.

  14. Re:Chuck the Lot on California to Start Review of Voting Machines · · Score: 0

    Here in Missouri, state ID cards (officially termed "ND" or "Non-Driving License") are printed on the same templates as drivers' licenses. I'm thinking the parent was referring to drivers' license OR state ID, as the drivers license is probably the most predominant form of ID*

    I, too, have only heard about the cons of non-anonymous voting, never any pros to it. If there are no pros to it, that's fine, but if there are, then there needs to be a more open discourse on it.

    If non-anon voting is indeed implemented, then here's an idea: Take the person's first name and middle initial, and their identification number (SSN for most people). Make an MD5 of that, and make sure the ID number and name aren't stored in any way, only retained long enough to need to make the md5 of it.

    * No empirical evidence to back this up, only first-hand anecdotal.

    Oh wait, AOL is cliche. If that were the case only Myspace users could hold opinions.

    It'd be easier to SHOOT yourself in the foot as opposed to HIT your foot with the gun. Unless you were actually meaning 'Foot, meet bullet."

    This is a severe case of the pot callling the kettle black. Poor little convicted monopolist is afraid of losing business. I don't feel the least bit sorry for them.
