The vouchers can be exchanged for Suse Linux which currently uses GPLv2. When the linux kernel switches to GPLv3 they will have to release newer versions of Suse with GPLv3 (or fork off the current GPLv2 licensed tree and be stuck with an old kernel). If a single person exchanges a voucher after Suse switches to GPLv3, everyone gets protection. The MS voucher cant change the license that Suse comes with. Its possible the vouchers specify which version of Suse they can be exchanged for but this appears to not be the case.
I was going to blame people who take holiday photos then insist on showing you them all. Nothing seems to induce brain death quicker than holiday snaps. Maybe the two problems are connected.
A discount will be shown in finacnial records allowing other companies to see. If HP knows what kind of discount Dell gets, they can try to demand a similar discount.
If the people behind BackupHDDVD have the player key, they *should* be able to unDRM ALL current HDDVDs (and any released until the key is added to disc revokation lists) right?
With that exception, what "Feature" is missing from Office 2003 that I need so desperately
Lots of features...
1. Bloatware 3.5 - Much bloatier and slower than previous attempts to pad out software. 2. Reorganisation - MS has rearranged all the menus in the software for all those people who do nothing at work. Now they can say they're looking for a wicked new feature that will increase productivity by almost 4%. 3. Greater Value - With Office 2007 you get much more nothingness than ever before. This means even though we're gouging users more than ever, they still get more nothingness per dollar. 4. Buried Treasure - If you look through all the menus, find the 'GooglyMoogly' option and enabl it, Office 2007 will now guide you to any nearby buried treasure. The "keep up with the Joneses" Indiana Jones option is only available in the Enterprise Edition. 5. Chuck Norris - Office 2007 can now stand its ground in a fight against the bearded man himself.
Under UK law, the Sale of Goods Act 1979 states that goods must be
* of satisfactory quality - which means the product you buy should be reasonably reliable.
* fit for purpose - which means it should perform the function you bought it to do.
* as described - means it should be exactly what the trader told you it was.
Those white envelopes containing CDs that state "by opening this, you are agreeing to these terms & conditions" are an example of where these EULAs arent enforcable.

I thought he built an aeroplane.
Whats worse is Lego has a patent on anything they create.
It wouldnt surprise me if Aquantive has some patents that MS needs to stop Google.
Wax On Wax Off?
I read somewhere that the taper were found. A rock video producer had them for some reason.
Also, the tapes were in a special format (high quality, low frame rate) to make transmission from the moon better.
Easy solution... kill the first law enforcement orrificer who comes to arrest you. :p
Yeah, you forgot part 3
1. Bang
2. Stars
3. Profit

If your internet connection/webcam server/any other point of failure has a problem, you lose access to your locks if they are controlled via ethernet.

Do chickens count?
Yes, but only to 4.

But i'm guessing theres nothing to stop them refiling a set of new allegations backed up with a brand new screen capture?
HDCP doesn't need to work. As long as its there, the DMCA (or the EUCD/other equivalent laws) will do everything they need.

I think under the Patriot Act, it would be illegal for Google to tell people if they'd given the government anything.
I was going to but I found a hash in my cookie.
Then i became obsessed with finding snacks & shiny objects.
I'm sure this 'terror' attack will be a justification for ID cards or barcodes on our arms.

No, Google said they would keep the mail from deleted accounts.
