Independent developers != contractors. Contractors get paid by you, while the folks that MSFT's talking about are just writing software for windows, like Lotus.
$1 bills are too easily counterfeited - they should provide a hard-to-duplicate 'certificate', possibly with a hologram to guarantee it's 'autenticity'. Then they could put the serial number on this 'certificate' of 'autenticity' and there you go...
you're right, only criminals have anything to hide, and if you're hiding something you must be guilty.
if some guy is willing to spend thirty days in jail it looks a little odd. Even if they are just doiing it for the principal of the thing.
and those who actually believe in things are probably guilty too? This is not a world I want to live in.
Stephenson's point is that the important back story for this section of the movie is only explicitly (and only partially) explained in the text prologue.
What about the opening sequence of ep 4? same situation? If you'd asked your friends back then whose ship that was, would they have known? Probably only if they'd read the crawl.
Basically, there's a provision that protects service providers from being sued for copyright violations if they agree to take down potentially infringing material pending investigation.
Yes, there's language protecting copy-protection, too, but the copyright safe harbor clause is an important one.

It works with crossover, not so much with the regular wine. The fact that it'll work with the commercial version makes me think that you could get it to work with vanilla wine, but I spent a day or so trying without luck.
As it's running on my debian laptop, everything works but the UI gets a little confused sometimes. It's probably not similar enough that your bookkeeper would use it without complaining. If, however, you're used to things like stuff focusing differently or widgets being shifted, then being able to finally get rid of that windows partition makes it worth it.
I have a 612 & T3 and the combination works flawlessly. Mocha Telnet includes SSH2 (not just SSH1, which is a problem with most other clients), and is usable even though it doesn't play very well with the T3's display (menus aren't expecting b&w, from what I can tell, but the terminal itself is fine). It's really a great combination, as I can choose whether I need just the WAP on the phone or carry the palm for those times when you need a prompt.
I've been told that the same passage appears on page 489 of Bush and Scowcroft's book, A World Transformed (Alfred A. Knopf, 1998).
Couldn't it be that they didn't have the rights to publish this piece online? It's pretty common to break up electronic/world/us/etc. rights in publishing, and it's possible that Time only had rights to publish this in its magazine in print form.
There's nothing in the settlement that says that they've ever done that.
I think this is great news, having received several 'expiration' notices for domains that were up to 2 years from expiring, but saying that they'd intentionally expire your domain that was registered with someone else is going a little too far, don't you think?
I think this is the most interesting part of the letter, and indicates a change in focus for them, or at least another case of "we're going make every argument we can think of, regardless of the validity"
This could be read to mean that they claim the BSD release of 'ancient unix' isn't valid for commercial purposes even though it was licensed under a BSD license.
We're beyond stripped-out copyright attributions (which was Mr. Peren's problem with the SGI code) if that's the case, but I don't think there's anyway to justify this argument. IANAL, maybe someone else is.
I don't think that when GnuCash started they were aiming for the consumer market. They're not trying to be a Money/Quicken, they're trying to be a real accounting package. Something you can run your business on. Lately, they've added those 'consumer' bells and whistles, to try to expand their user base, but their original double-entry system is probably overkill for this market.
That may be a mistake, and I'd say this article partially confirms that it was, but when I dream about moving my company over to linux, I know the one thing that I could never replace is QuickBooks. Everything else has an alternative, but QB doesn't yet.

The "useless" Civil and Voting Rights Acts? It took active federal intervention to stop the disenfranchisement of minorities in much of the south.
Eden Prairie == rich
I'm not defending what godaddy did, or the DMCA.
But the BoF Experiment is based on European law (after a quick read, maybe I'm wrong) and that's flawed because the DMCA is different.
The DMCA assumes guilt and you're afforded the safe harbor if you immediately remove the potentially offending content pending review.
After you take down the content, THEN everyone debates whether or not it's really offending.
Not cool, but it's the law and there's no way a company's going to take that risk.

Crackheads, hookers & bums in dumpsters all demand (and require) deadly force, of course. Those are definitely not groups to be taken lightly.

I have a T-3 and sync just fine. I'm not sure if there are fancy new features that I'm missing, but everything I try to do works fine.
Your sysadmin needs this advice:
If your system is a production server with 1000 on line users then do not test this code on that box.
They have the tire fire listed as off the map to the southeast.

We need a new moderation.
If you're an ISP, you can actually sue for $1000/msg under the WA law, so in reality it's 2*(all the money in the world).
Isn't it already? As I recall, most major players take quite a loss on the hardware to sell games. Like razors & blades...
Not until they stop basing them on the Intel 81x chipsets. Maybe I'm lame, but try running a real mod_perl server w/ 256 megs of RAM.
And before you mod me down for being a 'bad programmer', remember that you can load a buch of sh*t into memory & share it.
