beermatObserved on Slashdot, so went to http://www.yourvote.com/pci/ to see what the fuss is about.
PCI-SIG apparently got their lawyer to tell a guy who ran a popular PCI Vendor & Device ID database to 'cease & desist'.
And recently on the PCI-SIG maillist I'm on : "I hope they also go after: http://www.pci.org because it's pretty obvious that the Prestressed Concrete Institute is infringing on the PCI trademark and many people will mistakenly order a PCI card but receive instead several tons of concrete."
stupid greedy Borg-esque corporate America (==Britain, the 5(1st?2nd?3rd) state, otherwise known as the dummy target. Especially with RAF Fylingdales radar upgrade for son of star wars ...)
Need a cave to go live in and hunt wooly mammoths.
That's a cave with a decent DSL connection, please.
Wonder if I can defect to SeaLand?
