Ever heard the disclaimer "void where prohibited"?
That means your license to use the software is void. As such using their software in places where the restrictions are prohibited means that you are violating copyright law. It does not mean what you appear to think it means.
COFFEE is designed to circumvent on disk encryption. To do this it gets the keys from the running system. So it is actually perfectly reasonable that they used autorun given that it runs stuff even when the screen is locked.
I'm just wondering if settling with the SFLC, which only represents a few of the copyright holders, could potentially leave the company paying the SFLC and still being liable.
That is 100% false. The GPL is a license to use copyrighted code. Failure to comply with the terms of the GPL constituted a breech of that license, as such anybody who is using GPL'd code and violates the license has violated the copyright of the authors of that code. Without a license to use the code the violation is exactly the same as if the code was being sold under a commercial license and was stolen.
So without a license to use the GPL'd code the prior violation of the authors copyright is not expunged because of current compliance with the license.
Monetary damages could be sought if the authors of the code so chose, instead the SFLC sues people and then demands a donation to settle.
That's an interesting point. It would appear that violating the GPL means that you have violated the copyright of every single developer. So could a violator potentially liable to multiple lawsuits? That could take a single violation of the GPL on something like the linux kernel into the billions of dollars in liability.
They are allowed to search your persons, papers, and effects.
This ruling makes absolutely no sense. Under this ruling a physical address book is open to search upon arrest, but the virtual address book in a cell phone is not.
That they ruled the cell phone to not be a closed container is actually what limits the police. Kind of crazy, right?
Saudi Arabia is the future of liquid oil production. Canada is running out very quickly, but they have more than enough butamine for the next couple hundred thousand years.
You can theoretically sue for legal expenses after you have successfully won the first case, but in reality most people don't because the burden of proof then lies on their shoulders. In order to win legal fees in the US you have to prove intent to harm.
This is entirely about jurisdiction. The copyright violations occurred in four cities, but microsoft filed suit in the capital. The judge is merely saying that if they insist on suing in the capital they must pay for the defendants travel expenses in the event microsoft loses.
Paypal has never been anything but a processing center. All it ever did was hold your bank accounts and Credit cards online so that you don't have to enter that number in more than one place on the internet. All it ever did was keep the #'s secure, in a sort of "I'll give paypal my money if paypal pays for the product" - thus you only ever have to trust 1 person online. If you ever thought it was anything different, you were sadly mistaken.
This new API completely removes that benefit. this makes it so that any paypal merchant can randomly charge whatever they want to my account. Previously I would have had to explicitly approve the transaction.
Beats a bunch of wusses that don't even have the balls to surrender properly to a bunch of midgets in black pajamas when they are licked, despite having all the jets, agent orange and napalm.
Militarily the United States crushed the north vietnamese, for every dead american there were at least 5 dead north vietnamese soldiers.
The US clearly had no reason to be fighting there, they did not pose any threat to anybody.
Trying to pretend like the US removing itself from a pointless conflict is the same as the French surrendering to the Nazis is more than a bit disingenuous.

Is it really a computer still though?
Actually they do clearly state their cash value. The card regardless of the number of minutes associated with it is worth $0.01 USD.
The title says it all.
All they did was get the DCs hosting the command and control servers to shut them down and register the spare domain names.
Obviously this was a temporary solution.

It does not do accelerated 3d. That is clearly one of the main features for 'normal' users trying to play games in their VM.

It's a bug, http://perens.com/favicon.ico returns an empty file (zero bytes long). I guess chromo can't handle that (firefox does ;) )

No, because nobody put a rhetorical gun to the sellers head and told him to sell the car or go to jail.
rhetorical gun? im pretty sure the KGB used real guns.

This is nothing more than a ploy to significantly underpay for an enormous number of applications.
Not to mention that their new API just turns paypal into a processing center.
Charged is still a high offence than being arrested.
Its worth noting as well that every other European country attacked (including Russia at the start) pretty much collapsed under the blitzkrieg.
Yes, but which other European country had a military even a fraction of the size of Frances? Thought so.
They did it half way. Either you try and make people feel like they are entirely equals or you crush them under your boot.
The French tried to do both. They failed miserably.
