Well, if that were to become commonplace, it wouldn't surprise me if even more people decided they don't want any more CDs if the record companies insist in telling them how much they actually can't do with them.
Your information about MS employees not touching GPL source is consistent with information from other articles about Linux at MS, so...
<slashdot mode> ... you probably wrote those too, you ASTROTURFER!

Looks to me like the generated code is a derived work from your expression of ideas which you made by positioning the widgets on the window and editing their properties.
And if it is indeed a derived work, there's no way the IDE publisher can claim copyright over it; it is your code, since it was made by the IDE using your creative direction.
Depending on what kind of software you write, you only have to deal with storage devices on a filesystem level, so whether they're IDE or SCSI devices isn't very relevant to you. I have no clue what ZBR is either, though.
(Yes, I'm aware you're just pulling that story out of your ass.)
Karma: Positive (probably because of superiour intellect)
Too bad you can't spell superior...
The rest of your post is quite trollish as well. It's usually quite easy to determine whether the other person knows anything about computers, and to make a solid guess whether they know what SCSI is without actually asking about it.

That does explain the gooey Windows XP look... ;-)
Well duh. SCO of course! :-P

They should probably go to Brown Alert by now... ;-)

2) ????
3) Profit!
Riiight...

Looks like there'll be an alternative when all Intel and AMD are producing are Palladium chipsets and you'd rather not be "trusted" by Big Corps...
Who said I modded you down? Don't you even know that you can't mod and post in the same discussion? I don't even have modpoints today!
Why would I feel threatened? Actually, I made the comment as a kind of in-joke for Futurama fans.
The study bogus? It was done by whale biologists!
Seems like this law is all about outlawing cookies that often come with banner ads.
Does the submission say anything other than "human tongue transplant"?
Why not? How many Americans today have even heard of Mozilla?
(Not on the same channel, of course...)
If you encounter this problem, you could post a message in the discussion, and Slashcode will remove all your moderations for that discussion.
Does that alternate spelling theory go for this gem as well? ;-)

That's almost exactly what I was thinking. Aren't characters much like brand names, and thus trademarks?
void DoHumanKilling(void) { if(killed < kill_limit) { kill_human(); } else { WaterPlants(); } }
Bender?
Republicans and Democrats? They're all in the same conspiracy together! Aliens! ;-)
No, it's for 494,000 sets of software licences, or so they say...
Of course, we all know where that money really goes...
You're supposed to write English and Dutch with a capital. Met een hoofdletter dus.

RTFA! It's Danish, not Dutch! Geez!
