I think I should have gotten a patent on letting others watch TV. So any company hereafter that creates devices which let others watch TV must pay royalties to me, or I will sue their pants off.
Wow --- that's hard to swallow. This is the company whose calculators got me through both highschool and college, first with the 48SX and then the 48GX.
To help them live on, is there work on a 48GX emulator for Linux anywhere? I haven't found one on either freshmeat or sourceforge.
Seriously, it really killed me to finally get rid of all of the MS software in the house, only to load an otherwise excellent office suite (SO 5.2) and get that whole Start thing back...
I'm not so sure about that. This could be interesting in court provided our legal system worked the way it *should*. However, as was noted previously, it's the money that wins.
I have a feeling that this will not only be uninteresting, it will be a shutout.
I was an avid OS/2 user for years, and would still be if it weren't for the general lack of individual user (as opposed to corporate) support. But I still have not seen anything that comes close to matching the functionality of PM on Linux.
I believe this would not only be an excellent move for IBM to port this for PR reasons, but it would also give me the functionality that I (and many other OS/2 users) have missed under Linux.
But that same book costs $90 if you put the simple word 'Text' in front of it. You can't tell me that a college textbook, that goes through minor revisions every few years, costs that much to make. Further, they only give you *half* the money back for returning it?
A hardcover novel only costs around $20 (and are a much better read!). Now imagine if you were charged $10 to borrow it from a library...
Record labels aren't the only industry that needs a reality check...
This *has* happened before, and yet my CDs are still $15 or $16 dollars. Blank CDs are what, 30 or 40 cents if you buy them on a spindle? Granted, the record label and artists need their cut, but a 3000% markup?! Seems a little much...

At last the RBL is available to search through.
I looked all over the SafeSurf web site and didn't see their block list anywhere.
Kudos to the first person to drive around their country to spell First Post with their GPS system.
Other allowed GPS path contest entries would include: Beowulf, Natelie Portman and JohnKatz Sucks.
No more ``Start'' button!

This could be very interesting in court.

Thank god they aren't using the iMac look. It works on an iMac, people -- not on a microwave oven.
