... RNA misspellings originally discovered in the white blood cells were also in the skin cells. And the misspellings aren’t just rare, random mistakes. “When DNA and RNA differ from each other it happens in nearly every RNA” copy, Li says.

This supports what canajin56 was saying.

There is an explicit exception to programs that call libraries in that fashion. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL_linking_exception and http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception-faq.html

Well, yeah, my tax dollars subsidized their infrastructure, so I would like to regulate their pricing.

Even if Google never pays another fine for Orkut-related activities, is Orkut in Brazil profitable per se?

Yes, that's the right thing to do. As I said the first time, "Ambulances in the US will take you to the nearest hospital with appropriate facilities for your condition."

Getting warmer. Tortious.

Unless they actually meant torturous - but most blogs aren't THAT bad.

Just replying so that people know not to take your post literally. Ambulances in the US will take you to the nearest hospital with appropriate facilities for your condition.

No such thing. As the phrase goes, Yale men, Princeton boys, and Harvard scholars.

Did you read the rest of my post (the part that you didn't quote) where I addressed the actions that they should take, instead of just turning off autoreply?

Your tone seems to be that of disagreement, but your words recapitulate what I already said.

Regardless of the information density of his post, I disagree with his assertion that Hotmail should flip the 'autoreply' bit on these accounts. I do not think Hotmail wants to get involved in guessing whether or not someone intended to set any particular auto-reply message: "Surely, Mr. Jones, you didn't intend to drop an F-bomb in your auto-reply."

More to the point, these are hacked accounts. If you were going to take any action, *disabling* (even temporarily) the accounts and flagging them for forensic follow-up would strike me as more appropriate.
