Dammit! It took out the tag description anyway, even though I put some other words and punctuation between the descriptors.
Um, just look at the "Allowed HTML Tags" at the bottom of the comment box and the "i" one starts italics, and to finish using it, put the same thing but with an "i/" in between those brackets. Sorry if that's not very helpful, but those brackets don't show up as text.
I'm not sure that was directed at you DH. More likely it was that subliterate NAMELESS ONE and a few others who do it frequently.
As for using italics, see the last line of the comment reply box? If you put a "" before the word(s) you want to italicize then a "" at the end of the word(s) it should work. Be sure to Preview before you Submit, because in my browser at least it adds extra tags in that italicize everything in the comment from the start of my italics to the end of the post. Not sure why.
Sorry for the awkward "quote marks" around the tag descriptions, but it I put them all together than they won't show up.
That's it! The CEO of Wicked Lasers and Lucas need to duel. Lucas with his lightsaber of choice and WL's CEO with the Pro Arctic Laser. Winner takes ownership of the other's company stock options.
Along those lines, what about any concept a sci-fi writer comes up with that someday becomes technically possible? Say we get matter to energy transmission worked out, or warp drives become feasible, does that mean Roddenberry's estate can sue the first company that brings it to market for copyright infringement?
That's all about promoting science and the usefull arts I guess.
Is this a case where the Streisand Effect would have a positive result for this company? By suing Google and having Techdirt and other blogs and news agencies writing about them, wouldn't that alone move them up in Google's rankings, thus giving them the result they want?
Google would satisfy the French court's ruling without having to do anything at all.
WTF?!! Seriously. WTF is going on here? How has no one in the mainstream media decided to make a big deal about this? What a blatent misuse of power. I'm more angry about this than anything I've heard in a long time.
This Top Ten list made me laugh harder than Dave's has in years. I wonder if Worldwide Pants should be notified of Mr. Israelite infringing on their Top Ten schtick, as I doubt he obtained permission to use that format.
"no, all he does is get selective on the interview and try to force his opinions on the readers, rather than allowing them to form their own opinions. it isnt surprising to see the chorus of people not liking my comment."
First of all, if you don't like it, why do you keep coming back here? Are you nobly trying to save us from Mike's indoctrination? Or are you just a troll sent by your corporate masters to prevent legitimate, thoughful discussions from occuring?
Second, he links to the whole Q and A session so that we can read it and think for ourselves, so your point (as is always the case) is moot.
Third, perhaps if everyone doesn't like your comments, the problem lies with you and not everyone else, hmm? But I'm sure you'll convince yourself that everyone here is always wrong (as we know you think Mike is) and you are always right, even as you contradict yourself time and time again.
Logic fail. You're still missing the very simple and obvious point that if a company can save (or not get overcharged) $5000 on a piece of software, they'll spend that money on something else. The money still gets spent. How are you not getting this?
Why do you argue against the most basic economic principles then claim that Mike doesn't understand economics, or claim that he "missed that class" as a snarky way of trying to defend your moronic rebuttal?
Where did you get your MBA again TAM?
Why do I keep asking a troll for answers that I'll never get?
OSS pureplay? Does that infer that OSS businesses are ethically superior?
I think you meant "Does that imply that OSS businesses are ethically superior?" Regardless, it wasn't implied, but somehow you infered it. Pureplay has nothing to do with ethics. How you came to that conclusion is beyond me.
Like I said in my comment above, if you don't have an economics degree TAM, don't comment on economic issues. That's just using your own logic that no one without a law degree should express an opinion on a court ruling.
So by commenting on this subject which you clearly have no knowledge of, you've not only shown your utter ignorance, you've once again proven that you're a hypocrite. Way to go.
And to the French delegate - you do not become a totalitarian country all at once - but it is exactly steps like HADOPI that set you well on the way to becoming one, and ACTA is definitely another, one huge step in that direction.
I was going to say something similar. Mr. French delegate, is France totalitarian? Not yet, but you're getting closer every day.

This is a case where the Striesand Effect will do some real damage. No one would have ever known about this guy, or his criminal linkage on Yahoo since so few people even use Yahoo's search, and how many of them would be "Yahooing" this guy's name?
