The FCC and international equvilents should rather heavily regulate whats ON the cable networks, they should do more to heavily regulate how these cable providers conduct their business.
Mind you im biased and consider social conservitive values to be evil
I'm no theologian, nor am I a christian but isn't there one part of the bible that says all men are sinners? and another saying no sinner has the right to cast the first stone?
Would that make Wacko Jacko a hypocrite when he calls himself a christian activist?
MEPIS developers got in trouble for not distributing all the source code for the distro, despite it being avaliable under Ubuntu repos.
Warren Warford (I think thats his last name) tried to explain any changes he made from the Ubuntu repos he provided source but considered it extreme for something he took directly from the Ubuntu repos he should host himself
Anyways he got slapped on the wrist and had to re-distribute all the code despite it already being readily avaliable and had links to it provided across all Ubuntu mirrors
For the record (for those that haven't read the bible) Mark 7 talks about men not wanting to stone disobedient children so they find a loophole, like most people use Galatians to pick and choose what bigotry and hatred they like and discard the rest.
Intelligent Design = for idiots dumb enough to take the bible literally/authority
Science = for people that have enough of a brain to realize bronze age mythology provides the secrets to the universe.
Intelligent Design is just old school creationism wrapped up in a cheap tux and filled with big scientific words to make it look scientific despite it being absolutely stupid.
These creationists will use any means to get their agenda across in which the scientific method is used as cannon fodder and truth is collateral damage (when christians say "Jesus said I am truth and thats the truth" is when truth becomes the cannon fodder but thats for another time)
Intelligent Design and its bastard father fundamentalist Christianity does more than contradict biology which is its target... it also goes against geology, physics, linguistics, zoology, chemestry, mathamatics, anthrapology, history and proberbly more areas of study.
For the record this isn't the first time creationists have violeted copyright law. Me and colleagues have refuted Kent Hovind videos that he openly stated were public domain and yet got YouTube to remove videos filing copyright claims (while yes, Hovind himself was in jail). We also did parodys of Hovind which were protected under fair use, CSE flagged those too. It took a while for YouTube to restore our content but they really tried to pull out all the stops to silence all critics. It was almost like they really belived the law was what they wanted it to be because "god was on their side"
Agreed, but in larger organizations "potential to sue" is actually more accurate. That is actually official tag lines on why an organization can have a multituted of RHEL servers and still have a company wide ban open source desktop apps such as OpenOffice.org, Firefox and Thunderbird.
There was actually a lawsuit many years ago about previous versions of Windows. No joke.
Mind you people sue for various reasons. Some small time developer tried to sue the open source community memebers because better OSS was avaliable and he couldn't compete with "free". So he tried suing the Linux companies for "price fixing"
Anyone remember that?
Anyways this case in partiular, seems just like a standard 360 on it's way out nothing more. Maybe his disc could be scratched ontop of that (chances are he didn't check) and he's pissed about it. A simple call to Microsoft and half a brain would have sorted the issue out.
At the same time shouldn't Microsoft be working harder to cool their console? The hardware failures are THE reason I haven't bought one yet. I have been waiting for someone who isn't Microsoft saying 'they are resolved'.
In a business setting most (not all) businesses want support contracts, even if it just makes the execs thinking they have some right to sue if something goes batshit. (when was the last person someone successfully sued Microsoft for a dodgy product is beyond me). They seem to feel more "safe" with support contracts in place.
This is something that the likes of SLED, RHEL, Ubuntu, Xandros, Mandriva have that Debian, Gentoo etc do not which gives them an advantage in the business space. Especially if they can undercut Microsoft's pricings.
In the home desktop space, as well to a lesser extent SMB's that doesn't really matter so you can expect openSUSE, Fedora, Debian numbers to be higher.
Ubuntu is in a unique sort of position where it's both the exact same product for totally free and paid support products as it seems to combine most advantages of where other distro's get things right and incorporate that into their distro only missing a few things.
Ubuntu has made it a so near painless process to grab propietry drivers and codecs, the only thing really left for it to improve is how well it plays with AD networks (fingers crossed Samba4 speeds things along) and find a better way to do DVD support.
No my "not really" was pointing out to Virtual PC not "officially" supporting Linux. Officially it supports Windows, OS/2 and MS-DOS according to their web site
Yes you can run Linux under Virtual PC but its not officially supported like it is under VirtualBox, VMWare and Xen
Same, I know alot of "non-techies" that love them but I cant stand them, give me my full ATX tower anyday. I know people say "just use a docking station when you're at home" but then you just have a lower powered PC.
The keyboard is crampy, I HATE touchpads with a passion, its just not what I'm after.
Wireless is not what its all cracked up to be, there a bastard if hardware failes and there more expensive.
So yeah, lol, not a fan

And just in time for the new Australian Govt's national fibre rollout plan too
Then SCO would sue Jesus for slander... I think theres a Billy Connely movie about that

Dont slander scum like that!! Shame on you, comparing politicians, lawyers and clergy to poor innocent scum.

I wouldn't go as far as to call this a dupe. But being sue friendly seems to be the only way Prince seems to be relevent to the modern world
If it wasn't for him trying to sue everybody from torrent sites to little kids, he proberbly would be forgotten
