I thought this was news for nerds, Iphone = nerd newsworthy, a 3G Iphone = Definitely nerd newsworthy, 3G Iphone in many markets where geeks have been waiting for them to arrive PLUS that the 2g one might be available cheaper therefore allowing gadget freaks all over to get one? Nerd Newsworthy.
Hands up all who are surprised and shocked. Hokay, slap yourself in the face nooby. My goodness delilah, I cannot believe you actually put up your hand! Are you so attention starved that you would willingly humiliate yourself in front of EVERYBODY in a manner that is as degrading as that!? Now stop staring at me with those fish eyes of yours and go uninstall all those supposed "legal" computer software that is crawling through that porn infested pile of junk you call a PC. Do you really think you'll be a programmer one day? *storms off in a huff*/cox rant...
In South Africa a patent needs to be renewed on a yearly basis. Not sure about over on your side of the pond meh. In any case it would seem as if Intel was trying to wear these guys down, or let the patent lapse.
Either way, it's refreshing to see patent laws working in favor of legitimate complainants for a change...
I so want to insert a Linux related pun here, but I actually can't think of one...
I bet I am going to wake up at two am with the most witty and funniest slapdown of Vista imaginable... and by the time I get to posting, I'd have forgotten it again...
Agreed. The Chinese execute people as well as the North Koreans. It depends on the reason behind the issue of the ID card -> if it is a means of controlling the populace a'la Communism = bad idea. If it is a means of keeping track of your population i.e. paranoid US governmant = Bad idea depending on who you talk to. If it is a more efficient means of doing what normal ID docs have done for years = Bad idea depending on who you talk to...
Before you cast my comment aside, let me say that in many respects I agree with you.
Crying "killing babies" is a mantra created for influencing the masses. I realize that there is a huge gray area as far as abortion goes. Sometimes it is necessitated because the mothers life is in danger, other times the fetus is dead.
Killing the fetus for the simple expedient of harvesting stem-cells makes me uncomfortable, and I would vote against it if ever given the chance. Using unborn (through natural death - rejection in the womb for instance) fetuses for that purpose makes me less uncomfortable.
I am however all for exploring means that would make it unnecessary to use a fetus for the purpose of harvesting stem-cells, but making blanket uninformed decisions is wrong and trying to get the masses involved by preying on their fears is wrong.

I thought in the US these things were public record? Or am I wrong.
That was a really...

Could this be the first entire isp/web service that gets slashdotted!?

Youth can vote!? ... I know... I know...
Besides, a MS product not working on Linux? What else is news?
bla, yah, abortion, yadda, mohammed cartoon, yack yack, George Bush, bla bla...
...and I keep thinking of "Achmed the dead terrorist"....
SILENCE!... I kill you!
Why not try and get hold of a secondhand Nokia 9300? I got one and find it quite useful.

No connection to mass executions...
Eh?
(btw, wasn't the guy who did that killed? The waterfall in a barrel thing.)
Totally agreed. MS is losing its way, and this yahoo deal would be a bad idea, they already have MSN/Hotmail.
This actually smacks of eliminating competition...
I bet the first guy ever to actually attempt riding through a wormhole will have the ride of his LIFE. Remember Farscape?
I still wonder why people still play rugby without the aids NFL athletes have...
First off: I am a Christian, and anti abortion.

No he didn't, that would be shattering HIS dignity... he quietly passed wind, in anger...
I hate it when religion is used as a front for political/financial agenda...
Yeah, we geeks are a sad species...
Uh are you saying they are lacking said edge, because then I agree...
