First, the defendant is "probably" using their network to slander someone. The court haven't desided that yet, therefor no court-order. Google just assumed that they where correct and handed over the IP-adress even though the accusations where not defenitely a crime.
Whell you missed a point, the court could give a court-order if it considered it to be slander. Now it was probobly slander, in court the defendent could still defend its actions, but why the need if they don't even can deside if it is or not?
Well in the US the current administration wants to ban some words and even with the patriot act they can already take you in custody if they dislike what you say. You don't got as much free-speech as you think in the US, everything gets recorded and saved in records that makes a profile of you and then determines the threat-level that you make. That is scary and just why I prefer to be as anonomous as possible when it comes to certain discussions.
Found it.. Sun has a plugin that works only with 2003. As I understand it Microsoft offers a converter that allows word to read a converted file but not the file itself.
Or like shouldn't we catch the bad guy and save the good guys. But if so the whole argument falls down because the US kills more civilians in than anything else in their and others wars (they supply arms and support numerous countries that kills civilians per daily basis).
What I meant by it is that there is no less "bloated" writer so it is OK as long as they make it worth my while (it is still like a fifth or smaller than Office 2003). Most design updates that will come shouldn't bring the size up since there can be a lot of improvements in the code. I think the size to version 3.0 might go down a notch, I at least hope so.
I know what you mean but compare it to any other Writer on the market and they are not any smaller them either (like StarOffice, Works,...), not that it is an excuse for growing to proportions it doesn't need but it ain't very big?
I second that, why do people complain on OOo for not being able to use a locked format very vell? It is probably the same people thats promoting Microsofts new attempts with their "free" format.
If you need something in common, use Latex or rtf. But something that would be better is to tell your friend or whatever that it is his problem that he cannot read.odf docs at all (that should be the bigger issue at hand).
Hmm, I gotta ask what you are comparing it to. OOo 2.3 is not more bloated than MS Office 2003 or if you compare to the 2007 version it is like Notepad in comparison.
And that goes for you too, no one has ever proved (though tried) to connect illegal filesharing and loss of income. But they have succeeded in seeing that even though piracy, the music industry sells like never before.
I hold the US at about the same level as the "terrorists". The US feeds them, trains them and then kills their familys, thats pretty straight how I see it. But then again, the terrorists use the civilians a lot more than the US does, even though the US hunts and bomb the crap out of them and counts them as combatants. Or how was it when the US bombed the red cross in Afghanistan??
Additional effort is not the same as compatible. A game for the Wii or PC cannot work on the PS3 without reprogramming the entire architecture, its like trying to make a car go on rocketfuel.Sure it is possible and it is not being controlled by signed agreements between companies.
In this case the studios only allow their material on one disc even though it works just fine on HD-DVD too just that the companies does not want it to happen. That is anti-competitive behavior, see the difference?

I can see that programs like Activation, The improvement programs, Dynamic Update, Error Reporting, Registration, Program Compatibility Assistant, Update Root Certificates should send information to MS because you are requesting something from them. But why, oh why should the other programs phone home to work or why does MS even need to save the data that is being requested?
You can always choose not to use the services of the company that is your choice, nobody is being forced to use their services and be logged. You can also use several services that make you anonymous on google-sites, except when you are logged in.
With the government you have no choice, enough surveillance, limitations and censorship and you wont be able to do anything about it. The company still has to listen to the government and can be regulated through that.
The idea with EU is that the citizens shouldn't be "bothered" with such complicated laws and propositions neither should they be able to say anything. Luckily, for now, each country still have to approve the move of power from our countries.
In Sweden it is starting to become a question if we are going to be with in the EU or not. We don't get any info from our representatives and everything that gets to the media is that "it is being done behind closed doors". Thats how much control that you got over your government.
There is a huge difference between the government recording and watching everything you do and a company that you volunteer to use their services if they can watch how you surf their webpages.
The government forces the surveillance on you and could do tremendous damage, look at the US, Stalin, Hitler, Cuba, Venetzuela, Saudi Arabia and China. Next up is Germany and then the rest of EU. Happy hunting.
While you say practically zero for hardware, I wounder why music costs $1 for ~3-4MB and then multiply it with the number of songs you want, when it is free to reproduce.
You could see the trend pretty early in Internet Explorer but I have no experience to say when it was that it started, and it was probably a specific date (update) not a certain version (1,2,3,..) that started with it.
I wonder who actually can stand Internet Explorer, I do not use Internet Explorer if the setup gives me a choice.
If a person who has copied the music and then goes to a show and thinks it is great, don't you think the person who just had paid $x to listen also would also consider "sponsoring" the artist by buying material that they sell at the show?
The whole thing about paying to see a show shows that the person coming there are already spending money on the artist. But yet I haven't seen any artists that promotes their album sells as "donations" to them. Their are a lot of different models that would help the artists sell more just because the fans wants to give money for good music even though they like to download infringing content.

Because they don't have to untill proven that there is a crime being commited. Its like searching someones home in case you hide cocaine their.

Microsoft have only launched a plugin for reading ODF-files not writing or am I wrong?

Maybe accident was the wrong wording in his post but don't you agree that their is more deaths done by your selfs than by terrorists?
And that says what, that the US is absolute or what?
Got another for you the US wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Europe, hows that?
You can install a printer as a user, no probs. at all in Ubuntu.

Sure, the real fact is that they knew it was about to happen but they didn't act on it. It has nothing to do with them not having absolute power.

Internet Explorer has always redirected you to Microsofts homepage in some way, why shouldn't Dell/Google be allowed to do the same?
