Wow, can you believe the person who wrote the post I'm responding to got an 800 in verbal, and I just got 650 or so? I guess SAT scores rally don't mean anything.:)
Oh, really? Bull. Point that line out in the constitution. There is nothing to do with age beside the ages you have to be to run for office, and that little thing that says you can't be stopped from voting if you are over 18. As a matter of fact, your state could let people of any age vote in national elections.
Legally, the only restrictions on minors are in the laws, not the constitution. (Except for the 'running for office' thing.)
And laws, as you should know, cannot restrict the constitution.
People under 18 still have complete freedom of speech. Granted, they can't 'disrupt' school with it, but, neither can you urge people to vote for one person or another at a voting site. The government can make some restrictions on free speech on its property, as long as it does it to stop people who have to be there from getting harrassed.
You can't walk into the DMV, set up a pulpit, and start preaching either.
Granted, a lot of schools don't apparently understand this. And the 'disruption of class' arguement is completely overused. Technically, it can't apply to anything you do while not in class.
You mean, figuring what pattern will be used to generate a valid key? Sure, that's legal. Using it to get around licensing restrictions isn't though, and handing out a program that can do that might or might not be, depending on how provable intent is...of course, last I heard, some software companies were trying to make any reverse engineering illegal, I don't know how that's doing.
Um...huh? What are you talking about with licenses...nevermind...I can sell you a key that will allow you to add 10 seats, for the low price of 10 dollars. You won't find RedHat offering deals like that!
And, BTW, saying '...or you're all lame crackers/nukers which is what I suspect anyways.'...well, okay, I won't call you a troll, but that won't change whether you are or not. Who's immature here, me or you?:)
They can use it for whatever they want. They just have to let anyone they give it to use it for whatever they want also. For them to do this, they must be provided with source.
Flamebait, flamebait...while I may drive a tractor, it doesn't randomly explode and kill everyone. And, as it's faster then windows, your analogy doesn't hold water.
(Don't even think of mentioning that web server test...my desktop machine is not a webserver. And I don't have multiple T1s to handle that bandwidth anyway. Or four network cards. I knew which is faster, I used to run Windows on this overclock PPro with 32 megs of RAM.)
No, Ford didn't. Ford just used the assembly line. A conveyer belt is all it really is, I'm sure that was invented way, way, way back when, and and I know he didn't invent the idea of runnning something down it and having people do small amount of work at each stop. He just perfected it, and made lots of money.
I don't know who invented the 'assembly line', but it wasn't Ford.
Of course you're right. The companies don't have to use all those MS OSes they do have to pay, for.:) Also, if they have do Windows, they aren't allowed to modify the start up..so no multiboot, or anything like that. But, yes, no one's forcing them to ship them...just pay for them.:)
BZZZZZZZZT! WRONG!!!!!

That isn't the law of supply and demand at all.
From my first year college economics class notes, supply and demand simply states that if there is:
More of a demand, prices are higher, and More of a supply, prices are lower.
And vis versa, of course. That's supply and demand, Mr. Coward. So, WinCE has more of a demand, so either prices or (to counter it out) supplies are higher.
What you are talking about is just brand names. If it was actually true anyway, every single product that gained market share first would be champion. There is a little bit of resistent to change in marketplaces, but nowhere near this much. If you have a Ph.D in economics, I'll eat this message. Sheesh.
Katz specifially said he wasn't comparing them to the holocaust survivors. And, no, it's perfectly legit to call them merely surviviors. They survived high school. If you can call a person who walks away from a car wreck a survivor, then you can call anyone who makes it though high school, geek or jock, a survivor. High school is pretty tough.
Erm, how long has Linux had FAT32 support now? Seven months, maybe? Since 2.0.32 in the standard kernel, and a bit longer if you looked for the patches.
Now, how long has NT had it? What? You mean it doesn't?
I won't even comment on that 'easier to use' line, but you're just spewing FUD.
P.S. Wasn't that 'MS give FAT support to Linux' a segfault article?
ADD people also have 'hyper-focus' where they only pay attention to one thing.
So, actually, yes, it's probably something 'wrong' in this part of the brain. Or at least different.
BTW, I have ADD (Why does "I've ADD" seem wrong? Does anyone really understand why we talk the way we do?), and have what is supposed to be an exception...I read really well and fast and a lot, which is the opposite of the normal of ADD. Does anyone else who 'has ADD' do this?
I'm actually pretty glad, overall, I have this 'disease'. Deep hack mode is easy, and, luckly, I don't have ADHD, or at least not anymore, so I'm fairly calm physically.:)
It's possibly even illegal to require this certification for a job, as it is against federal laws to discriminate based on age...
That's a common misconception...actually it's just illegal to discriminate against someone if they are too old (over a certain age...maybe 55). This is why lots of companies fire programmers right before that...it's perfectly legal, under a perfectly stupid law.

I just had the funniest mental image of a naked, wet guy running into the computer lab shouting 'Eureka!'. (Or however you spell that.)

Let's have a poll! How many of us here in the Internet user community use computers? :)
Nevermind. :)

Huh?
Only wankers say mateship? Isn't the word mateship, in fact, in what passes for a constitution down there?

And, if we're not, let's figure out where this heat is coming from. It might not be fusion, but maybe we can use it anyway.
If he was doing it out of curiosity, he would have stole 1 dollar, not 100,000.

I can root an NT box...Netbus, anyone?
What does that get you? You still have to have copies of windows and office. Save you a reboot, but it doens't mean anything legally.
