"Although Netscape ultimately didn't benefit, the settlement seems to have done its job"

Sure, so much competition was restored to the browser market by the settlement that Mozilla/Firefox had to be built FOR FREE by thousands of people and then given away FOR FREE for TEN YEARS to get where we are now!

How do you navigate text paragraph by paragraph in MS Word? Short of wasting massive time by holding down the up or down arrow key, of course. I suspect that is what he meant by requiring a mouse.

This is completely false. I can bring anything I want on my own private plane. There is no security at all nor should there be. I have flown all manner of things that would never be allowed on a commercial airline flight. The whole article is bogus.

Unfortunately, that mechanic has the right to vote.

Finally, I get to shout:

FOLLOW THAT CAB!

The problem is not that they did not QA every single part they shipped. The problem is that they did not QA the process through which those parts are made. Why would they even have a Windows system anywhere near production? And if they were going to have such a system why wasn't it better secured? That is the issue here.

You just know MS is going to count the vulnerabilities in this distro against Linux just like how they count one vulnerability which affects 10 distros as 10 vulnerabilities because 10 warnings get sent out.

They include a picture of it. So you have seen it too. :)

There are now a great many copies of his birth certificate in circulation. So many so that Hawaii has stopped honoring public recoreds requests for it:

Give it a rest.

Interesting, thanks for the link. The reviews are pretty mixed and people who work in a datacenter really need something that works with a mobile phone or landline. VOIP soft phones are rare in this application and would tie you to a particular location.

Aircraft headsets have separate mic and headset connectors and seem to require power from the aircraft intercom system. They do not work standalone as far as I know. I am a pilot and own three different headsets. I would love to be able to use one in the datacenter. I have asked this very question on the lopsa mailing list here:

And we never came up with a decent answer. This was also asked on the kernel-panic mailing list and we found nothing through that discussion either.

Not at all. MP3.com PURCHASED all of those CDs. I saw them and the ripping operating with my own eyes. 80,000+ CDs. So they had the right to have the music. The customer had also purchased the CD which was proven by putting the CD in their drive which the MP3.com software looked at and verified (via checksums etc) that it matched what was on the remote end. So it was the same bits. Same CD. So by the reasoning of many everything was kosher. However, copyright is incredibly complicated and nobody but the lawyers/judges knows how it really works (and even that is questionable). The labels sued and won and nobody at MP3.com really understood exactly why, even the owner of the company.

What you are doing *IS* still "piracy" of course. Just ask the former MP3.com.
