   Review - MagicMerge

   RC1 Updated (Feb 6, 2004)

   Program performs as promised but anything that puts your PC further into the Microsoft feed pen like .NET does is something to run from as quickly as possible.
   Run Forest! Run!

   Review - webcamXP 2007

   1.00.264 (Dec 26, 2002)

   Very slick program however, I have to rate it poorly due to it's instability. I've tried it on three different computers with the same results. It crashes XP every few hours with a USB error. These crashes do not happen with other webcam software.

5. Comment - Court: ISPs Not Required to Comply With RIAA

   I've also been involved with Code Enforcement for about 15 years. I take some exception to the above post. The author seems to be confused regarding the difference between criminal prosecution and civil prosecution (AKA lawsuit).
   
   Copyright violations are not criminal unless for profit (there is some exception for providing access to several thousand dollars worth of copyrighted material).
   
   Lawsuits are civil actions wherin the penalty is monetary rather than possible jail time.
   
   The burden of proof for civil action is much lower than criminal action. Civil requires "preponderence of evidence". That is the judge must find the odds are at least 51% that the defendant committed the offense.
   
   Criminal prosecution requires "beyond a reasonable doubt" to obtain a conviction. Criminal prosecution also requires that the court provide legal defense for those that cannot afford their own attorney.

6. Comment - Microsoft Ordered to Include Sun Java with Windows

   There is no automatic stay. Where are you dreaming this up at?
   
   M$ must request a stay and the court must weigh on the merit of the M$ request for a stay. There's nothing automatic about it.

   Incorrect:
   
   A stay is not automatic.
   
   To say the 9th circuit court has the case is not a good thing for M$. The 9th circuit is overturned more than any other circuit court in the country.

   So you've got an inside track into the thinking of M$ corporate decisions? Please check YOUR facts.
   
   You know the saying "Talk is cheap. Actions speak volumes"?
   
   Look at the consistant pattern of M$ actions over the last 15 years. The pattern is extremely consistant and clear.
   
   1. If it's a competative threat than:
   a. buy it out or;
   b. give away our version of the product to drive the opponent into bankrupcy or;
   c. license the product so that we can mutate it to only run on our platform or;
   d: force our customers to sign exclusionary contracts so that the competition cannot gain a foothold, resulting in the competition either going bankrupt or not having adequate R&D monies to keep up woth our efforts.
   
   The pattern is unmistakable. M$ has done more to stifle choice, competition and technology than any comapny in world history.
   
   Why would you imagine they spend millions every year to crush linux? If they are all about fair play and competition shouldn't linux fail or prevail on it's own merits?
