    I've got the reverse :) One day management decided to change the name of our group to "Spirent / Hekimian Informationg Technology Departent". We were quite happy to use the name, but one of the less fun-loving members of the department informed upper management what they had done. Needless to say, that name was never used.

  11. Re:Agreed. on Life After the Video Game Crash · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I just did that last night too, but for different reasons. What worries me is that the person I talked to on the phone said that my CD Key for the game would become invalid after 3 month, and that there was no way to get a new key other then buying the game again. This sucks if at some point I change me mind and want to play some more.

    SOAP and XML are not the only options in .NET, those are just used for high compatability with other OSs. Most likely over 99% of function calls in .NET are traditional old Binary calls.

  15. Re:Good idea that will never work on Ford Testing a New 'Traffic Monitoring' Device · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes. MY rates SHOULD go up for this. If I let idiots use my car who don't know the speed limit, and don't pay attention to speed limit signs it raises the risk that my vehicle will be involved in an accident that my insirance would have to pay for. In your example it makes perfect sence that my rates should go up.

    I'm pretty sure thats false... The Mcdonald's Golden Arches are a trademark. I'm violating thier trademark if I sell UPSs for computers and market them with the McDonald's Logo.

    I'm also pretty sure it would still be trademark infirngment if I made the arches purple instead of gold, so don't try to tell me that because he spelled it differently he can get away with it.

    He is selling a product using using someone else's tradmark. He has admitted that he specificly choose the name because he thought it would be cool to use something that sounds like thier name.

    He did wrong, he got caught, he got free stuff and his 15 minutes of fame. Everyone is happy except the people who want to "stick it to Microsoft" in any way they can.

    Yes, you are missing something... The original virus contians the sring "I love you San" or something to that effect, I can't remember the exact text. It is never actually displayed by the virus, but it's contained in the executable.
