Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 2 vs. Early Fedora 13 Benchmarks 157

Given that early benchmarks of the Lucid Lynx were less than encouraging, Phoronix decided to take the latest alpha out for a spin and has set it side-by-side with an early look at Fedora 13. "Overall, there are both positive and negative performance changes for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Alpha 2 in relation to Ubuntu 9.10. Most of the negative regressions are attributed to the EXT4 file-system losing some of its performance charm. With using a pre-alpha snapshot of Fedora 13 and the benchmark results just being provided for reference purposes, we will hold off on looking into greater detail at this next Red Hat Linux update until it matures."

I would think that $1000 is a poor choice for a legal remedy should anyone unjustifiably adversely affect my credit score. I would much rather have the court compel the defendant to remove the offensive negative marks on my credit report. It seems a more fitting remedy, and it's worth more to me in the long run.

I also cannot imagine what kind of criminal offense it would be to auto-renew a subscription. All of this reeks of future civil actions, and hopefully class actions, but is it illegal? I'm unsure. Good thing I'm a sysadmin and not a prosecutor. How is what Wired is doing illegal?
