Well if you pay me, I'll install MY license on your computer. I'll also leave the disks over at your place too.
The license will still be owned by me, and it will be operated on only one computer. How is this not legal?
In fact even though I own the license there is nothing to stop you from doing the install yourself as long as ownership of the license remains with me. This would require a bit of trust, but doesn't seem to be at odds with transferring the license.
I'm willing to bet you have had many friends fall into this. This most common one I see is when talking about gas prices. People will say they saw gas for $1.34 when its really being sold at $1.349. Its a small difference but when speaking I don't know a single person that rounds this number up.
I just wonder how we expect these terrorists to decide to use it? We'd need a whole series of laws:
1. All terrorists must register themselves
2. All registered terrorsts must use back door enabled encryption when using encryption
3. Suicide bombers must prove they can commit suicide before being licensed as a suicide attacker.
Why in the world would they use bad encryption? Tax breaks maybe?
I suppose the argument could be made that anyone willing to use illegal (that is, working) encryption) must be doing something illegal and be cause for a warrant in and of itself. That just sounds scary though.
There is a major difference. Real estate speculation shifts risk to those speculating and away from those with no tolerance for risk.
Domain name squatting isn't truly speculation because the value of the name already exists. True speculation would involve making up a name and hoping it becomes used and valuable.
Or you could make the first three:
The New Dork
Buy More Toys
JarJar's Trip to Town
it started with the Ewoks. But they were isolated on one planet. It got worse with the insertion of extra stuff into the originals and the accompanying branded toys.
JarJar was just too much for me and I won't even bother with the next movie.
The next movie will be about clone wars. This is where kids will be encouraged to buy multiples of the same action figure so they can have full squads/platoons/armies.
Then finally the last movie will be some utter piece of crap that everyone will have to go see just because it claims to be star wars.
I refuse to recognize it as Star Wars (which IS the title of the first movie).
We're not talking about revenue on these satellites. We're talking about people being taxed for things merely for owning them. When you pay property taxes on a house, you get fire and police protection. If you buy a house outside of LA, you generally don't pay LA for the right to own that house.
Another alternate theory is that the company rep is hyping the game. He's saying the game is so good that if anyone knew the identities of the employess they would have to hire these guys away.
Even if they get ripped in the press its not a bad deal. There is no such thing as bad press.
Yes you get R&D, but this is what contracts are for. These people should be bound by contractual agreements entered into volutarily by both parties. Deliberately depressing their value by rendering them anonymous when their accomplishments should be attributed may be legal but that doesn't make it acceptable.
Look at it a different way, if they are bound by non-compete clauses then why do they need to be blacked out. The only reason I can come up with is to make them less marketable so they can be kept for less.
After watching Pearl Harbor I had to go straight home to turn on the History Channel. This movie was absolutely horrible. On my personal scale of movies I'm putting it below The Mummy Returns for two reasons: 1. I knew beforehand the mummy movie would suck and 2. Pearl Harbor was an hour longer and never got better.
For those that keep saying the computer graphics are out of this world I must agree. The planes fly like starfighters and not like the prop planes they were. Call me crazy, but if you are going to spend a couple million making it anyway, why not go out and find some planes to fly for real and hire one less huge named actor? Just once I'd like to see a computer graphic plane in the movie that wasn't a spaceship with a different skin on it.
But even the complaints of the CG are minor because that happens to be a minor aspect of the movie. The majority of the movie is a crappy love story that could have come from a second rate romance novel.
Tora! Tora! Tora! was excellent. The History Channel is running specials about Pearl Harbor specificallly and WWII in general all weekend. I suggest watching those instead. As a friend of mine said, "I feel dumber for having seen that movie."
So what your saying is that we need a distributed form of cheating. We check out a block from SETI, check with cheatingseti.com to see if that block has been checked in before. If not we make up the results and report them. Either way we can be done immediately.
I was going to comment that the women in Everquest all look like they were taken from a 14 year old imagination. But then I thought that if women were to draw their own characters they would probably pick something very similar.
If you look at ads in men's magazines all the pictures have hot women. If you look at ads in women's magazines all the pictures have hot women.
When men see a woman selling a car they think, "If I buy that Porsche I can get that kind of woman." Women think, "I can be that woman."
I think the following would be cooler:
GO FROM TO
Of course that statment itself could be labeled and properly INOREd just to avoid the confusion of GOTO's.
The ones cheating have forgotten that community of trust. The ones that are not cheating will again be able to trust that being graded relative to their peers is a fair process.
I just thought of something. If you are pirating their software, you haven't actually agreed to be audited on those machines that are pirating the software. I guess you shouldn't mix your shop, and should steal all the software so that you never enter into any auditing grey area.
Slashdot Mirror
I like the stroll through the park idea. Then they need to open up the system so anyone can make maps for it.
That 200 foot climb at the end of the course? That's the Guggenheim!
Then please describe how you intend to get everyone in the world to play nice. Perhaps with your kind and subtle words.
I call bullshit. I've never seen Notes run flawlessly...ever.
I seem to recall going to school here with some people that didn't test well enough to get into University.
It would seem to me that a select few get to go for free, subsidized by those that don't get to go.
Here, the person receiving all those rewards of a higher education is the one that will incur the bill directly, not the population at large. (kinda)
I'm afraid the DMCA will bite you on the ass for circumventing.

Actually, this is a very good point. Since the person being pulled over has the absolute right not to speak.
One count per pass? Does this mean they aren't geo-stationary?

I wouldn't cite the matrix's artificial intelligence because it couldn't detect cheaters either (people flying, stopping bullets, etc..)
Was this the US Army? Because US military maps are designed with 5 colors that are viewable under a red light.
In many places you can prevent people from working for your competitors though.

It would also be good if you are a TRex and can't get both your hands together on the same keyboard.
