I've seen this for years on their DRAM. But where I work is very specific saying they want Kingston modules on the RAM they purchase. I remember about 5 years ago getting Elixir memory from Kingston where they simply ripped off Elixir's sticker and put the Kingston sticker over it. We had received literally the same RAM minus Kingston's sticker from Elixir. It was literally the same RAM, PCB and all, with their sticker on it.
Maybe this is different from the technology that BMW uses, but they've been using electronic throttle since 2004 (the year I have) and I haven't experienced any problems. I've always worried about the reliability of it, but I've noticed no issues. Looks like Toyota just screwed up on their code, but it's kinda par for the course for a company to ignore software issues mainly because the average car person understands the hardware, not software behind these things. And of course, with code like this, no one but Toyota can actually see that code to see that it's flawed -- you need to reproduce it under stress to prove the problem. And again, because no one can see the code, they can easily claim it's anything else but a flaw in the code.
I know I've had this issue before. eMachines has no idea what they're talking about.
This may have already been said, but eMachines uses a bulk license (the same key) on entire series of machines. They give you a unique key but that doesn't change the fact that your computer has this bulk key. If you go to activate and "Change Product Key" you'll notice that the one on the side of your case and the one actually on the PC differ. Type your correct product key and attempt to activate again. It probably will still make you call MS but they'll let you activate it this time.
Word!
The DJs play the songs in the club that often get big or they add to their popularity (I don't think Drama is that kinda DJ but does the same things they do). In fact, The Lil' Wayne/DJ Drama mixtape "Dedication 2" was so popular that apparently they were offered a major label deal for a REAL album.
You can't tell me the labels don't recognize the value of his DJ work. They saw its power as a promotion tool.
I wonder. The DJ Drama/Lil' Wayne mixtape ("Dedication 2"), while a DJ mix, contains a lot of elements that are obviously samples. You could be right here, however.
You don't know what a mixtape is. It's not a mix of a bunch of unlicensed tracks. You would probably be surprised that it's not actually a tape either, right? It's usually exclusive stuff. It's usually distributed on CD-Rs on a smaller level rather than commercially, but what most of these DJs do is legal.
Here's some information on what you claim to know about.

I think there's a lot of confusion on what DJ Drama is doing here.
Some people know what's going on but it sounds like most people think he's sampling big chunks of songs or ripping people off by just compiling a bunch of already released tracks (releasing pirated CDs). He's not really. He's sampling small, indecernable parts of a track to construct a new landscape and then having someone emcee on the track -- which is usually exclusive material on these mixtapes (a bit of a misnomer, they're usually CDs but they were once actually tapes).
So he's not compiling tracks he doesn't have a license to. The only thing he might be guilty of is on some of the mixtapes he'll remix a track with the artist (the emcee will appear on the track) and then include the artist he's working on the mixtape with. Also, it's possible, I think as someone mentioned above, that these emcees/artists he works with on the mixtape might need permission from their labels to appear. Yeah, they're doing the job of promotion for the record label but it's still a legal guideline in most recording contracts.
