Are they banning Subway from calling it "bread"? If not, it's Tax legislation. End of.

No, this is specifically a law which determines whether the produce qualifies as taxable via VAT.

There are also food purity laws too, but this isn't one of them.

Doesn't this prove it can't have been the XP source code?

"You feed beefburgers to swans!"

Easy to do with employees during a time when you could physically restrict access to the code at the workplace and be pretty damn sure no-one saw code they shouldn't have.

Not so much with a bunch of volunteers based all around the globe who access the code through the interwebs.

PS2 mini and PS3 mini...

Pfft. You mean you need to use a mnemonic representation of the instruction set opcodes?

Amatuer!

Except we won't make you come to confession, we'll make you take drugs your whole life.

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say NIH at will on Slashdot.

Well, who wouldn't be afraid of browser competition when their browser sucks ass?

I thought it was about a floppy disk drive for the ZX Spectrum.

They've stated they would not oppose the validity of an independent Scottish state, but they have said nothing of the sort with regards to said state's EU membership.

Sinn Féin's abstinence from Parliament effectively reduces the number of seats required for a majority to 322, so that would give a CON/DUP alliance a 6-7 seat majority. But that's still too slim in my opinion. Very much like the Major government of '92-'97 - a couple defections here, a couple bi-elections there - and the majority is gone. Certainly not a suitable state of affairs going into the most important negotiations in a generation.

Yes, there is a marked difference. I don't remember Theora, Dirac, etc having the backing of Adobe, Microsoft, Amazon, AMD, Broadcom, Cisco, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Mozilla, Netflix, Nvidia and Realtek amongst others.

Oh, and guess what? The people who have to pay the licence fee care about the licence fee - which is precisely why the Alliance for Open Media was created in the first place.
