Gee such an old idea. When I was at Control Data we had the ETA-10 which was full chilled in a liquid nitrogen bath in 1987. I still have several ETA-10 coffee cups.

I think he originally linked to an article talking about the Australian court ruling. They ruled it illegal to link to copyrighted material (http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?s...12/19/0521206).

Another case of the courts not having a clue how technology works. Technically in the US, EVERYTHING you create is copyrighted. Based on this fact, virtually any link could be determined as an infringement depending on exactly how the ruling is interpreted.

Isn't "linking" kinda the basic idea of the Internet?
