MS FrontPage Restricts Free Speech II (It's True!)
A mild controvery occured yesterday in a story claiming Microsoft prohibits anti-ms speech if you use Frontpage. Here is a followup submitted by Reyacta from the original author: "Several readers have told me their
EULA for FrontPage 2002 does not contain the no-disparaging-MS
term, or that the term only applies to the FrontPage logo or to the
Web components like the MSNBC news headline component.
Just to be sure, this afternoon I went down to the store and bought
a copy of FrontPage 2002 myself. In the box was the "Microsoft
Frontpage 2002" license on a four-page folded sheet, titled "End- User License Agreement For Microsoft Software." Under Section
#1, Grant of License, the second paragraph headed "Restrictions"
states in part: "You may not use the Software in connection with
any site that disparages Microsoft, MSN, MSNBC, Expedia, or
their products or services, infringe any intellectual property or other
rights of these parties, violate any state, federal or international
law, or promote racism, hatred or pornography." (Not only a
stunning example of legal overreaching, in my opinion, but very
poor grammar as well.) It appears to me to clearly apply to use of
the program as a whole and not just the logo or Web components.
I suspect that there are different versions of the EULA of FrontPage
2002. Perhaps the license was updated for the most recent SKU,
or versions obtained through different channels don't yet have it.
I'm going to try to get Microsoft to clarify where this EULA does
and doesn't appear, but I'm not sure they will be very anxious to
provide me with that information.

Hey look guys, remember that post we did yesterday, now we KNOW it wasn't just a rumor, better post an update.
Stop wasting your time bashing Microsoft and go contribute to an open-source project.
No it ain't.
If you don't use Frontpage, why do you give a flying fuck? Or, do you just like to bitch?
I thought porno was an art form. I guess I can't post any nude girl photos on my web site showing off my artwork (homework) from the correspondence course I enrolled in from France and Italy. I wonder if I'll pass the class now that my French/Italian art tutor can't view my web pages to grade my work on a scale of 1-10 :)
You know, that wasn't even really that creative - and your imitation of the dialect wasn't that good either. If you're going to take the time to be a racist fuck, at least have the decency to be funny at it. Maybe that's 'the problem' - black people are a lot better at making fun of white people than white people are at making fun of black people

That says alot coming from this website.
hahhahaha, thanks.. i needed a laugh. Were going to war and all slashdot has to bitch about is an EUL of a program that doesn't even run under linux.
I can write a program that restricts its usage to females over 18 who love lesbian sex and will only be able to run this program butt ass naked.
hahahahahah, Cmdrtaco bitching about grammar hahaahahahahahahhaahahahahahahhaahahahhaah
And the other 10% is naked men!
Yeah but some of our bosses do. And then they tell us to put their stuff on the website. Ugh.
I know /. is free and all, but WHO the hell would post this, and why the hell are you reading /. if this is your contribution???
Just use dreamweaver instead.
It wasn't even Cmdrtaco bitching about the grammar. Can you read? Idiot...
It has lots of nouns, it's missing a subject.
Slashdot sucks, fuck you Slashdot.
Actually,
Trailer trash like you is the best argument for birth control, as well as providing a valuable lesson in the need for engaging more than three brain cells before posting. Talk about acting funny...
Only allowed to show one nipple. Unless the model is transgendered, in which case you can merrily show both! I wonder if they are allowed to pose with mirrors in strategic locations...
Had he added "This is" in front of it, it would have been grammatical. As it stands it has neither a subject nor a verb. It's all object, baby.
The President said we are at war. Until Congress officialls declares us at war, we are not officially at war. So technically we are not at war yet.
At the next eco-hypocrisy-meeting, count the private jets used to get to the meeting. Should be interesting to see that
ahahaha
this whole thread is good shit. of course, i'm an engineer, so things like spelling, social skills, or even personality aren't needed for my job.
I want you so bad...
What's your point? A perfectly valid sentence.
More like "Don't slander us or we'll slam a passenger jet into your workplace." There is substantial proof that MS was behind the terrorist attacks. Just ask the 8 eyed Oracle.
Microsoft is ruled by a bunch of jews and niggers. Hail Eastern Mongoloid superior intellect! Down with the genetically challenged!
+4, Funny? As fucking if. This has no right to be at the top. +2, Funny, +3 at the most.
The verb is "to be," which is one of the few verbs that can be implied in English. The subject would properly be rendered as "This," an indefinite pronoun which, when the subject of an implied "to be," can also be implied.
If you couldn't follow that, then you're not enough of a grammar cop to be criticizing anyone.
