Uh, yeah, the speakers are in nearly perfect positions for nobody to hear them properly. I mean, how often do you find yourself sitting smasck in the middle of your car, with your ass on the hand break?
I seriously doubt it would have worked even back then. The bank usually knows exactly how much money is in the machine, so when it's refilled or audited the discreptancy would show up and transaction records would be pulled.
Sure you get the money, but then you screw up your life for a measly few grand. It's not worth it if you just wanna scam some retirement money.
It's the same idea that lets a liberal become a conservative within his lifetime, without changing a single belief. Every generation takes things one step further than their parents.
The lawyer would have to request copies of private agreements between all possibly involved coroporations, patent records, existing patent applications, copyrights, etc.
And you'll still get torpedoed by submitted, but not yet granted, patents.
We in Canada get to watch a lot of US TV shows, like Law & Order, CSI, NYPD, Third Watch, etc... so we know some of the rights you guys have.
Anyone know of a resource like this for Canada? What the police can do, what they can use legally, what your rights are, what you have to say/do when asked, what has to be presented to you, etc. Like, hmm, do we even have the right to an attorney? Do we get a phone call?
"Digital rights management" in this form essentially strips me of the right of first sale (the doctrine that makes it legal for video stores to rent out videos that they have purchased or for you to resell a book once you are done reading it).
You can't resell a licence, if the text prohibits it.
Uh, not only is fdisk available for Win2000/NT/XP and, hm, NTFS (you can install it off the goodies CD or rescue disk), but fdisk has NOTHING to do with NTFS. You know, partition, file system, price of tea in China?
Your post sounds like you're making an excuse for badly managed networks.
Yes, in a perfect world none of those would be issues. Unfortunatelly, it's rare to see a well designed and implemented Windows office network of a non-trivial size.
but there is a flaw in that statement. that implies that people actually read the license to begin with...
Well, customers pretend to read the EULA, and companies pretend that their customers read them. Somewhere along the line things got carried away, to their logical extreme, and now both parties have to pretend for real.
In any case, catching YOU uploading those files to someone else is much better than just catching you downloading. One is marely a crime of opportunity, the other is more serious.
They're not supposed to, but they do, deal with it. They do it for various reasons.
The default save location for many apps is the local Documents & Settings folder. Try teaching people who have no concept of a directory tree to find their network drive. Local disk is quicker. There is no disk quota. It's always available. It's indexed by local Index Server.
RH upgrades work great, unless you've uninstalled a vendor-provided package, say, MySQL, and installed the developer's version. RH Upgrade will then happily "upgrade" this package (read: forcibly downgrade), and put its own version in, which likes to have its data files in all kinds of happy places, none of which jives with the version I had installed before... grr. Don't RPMs have an author field or something?

it should never take more than 4 hours to recover a machine.
It's not just restoring the machine, which can take a few hours these days, and probably took a couple times longer back then. You also have to back-track and inspect any changes done to the code since the compromise. What do you think they should have done? Restored and just deleted ALL changes made since then?
It takes a lot of work and time to recover from a compromise of an important system. You have no idea WHAT was done, you don't want to miss anything, yet you also want to minimize the amount of work that will have to be redone or lost forever.
I guess the problem is that I've noticed that the mainstream music I think is trash - especially the bubblegum pop - must be touching *someone* emotionally. How else could they sustain the sales figures they have?
And that's the problem with all the people who say this new-fangled music they blast over the radio these days is crap. If it was crap, millions the world over wouldn't be listening to it, it obviously has some value, and SOMEONE likes it, even if YOU don't. This 'crap' attitude is a very basic example of snobbery and elitism: stuff I like is good, stuff I don't is for the unwashed masses.
I read tha part about the coffee stain-like patches on disc. I've noticed many of my DVDs have discoloured, irregular patches, sometimes there are multiple clearly delineated shades. It's not like I'm doind anything to these poor things, they come out like that out of the shrinkwrapped box.
Would this be an indication of a (future) problem disc?
The job of the concerned citizen is not to fight the enabling technology...
WTF is 'enabling technology'? All tech is enabling. It's enabling someone to do something they couldn't before. Whether it's enabling me to make mp3s, or enabling someone my ability to do so.
There's no such hard limit. You can always leech, but your download will be much slower. Think of it as a bootstrapping period during which you're a newbie and allowed to leech.
And as previous poster mentioned, OverNet lets people (forces in fact) to share out their 'in progress' partial files.
The reason I'm replying here is that the parent has been modded +5, with which there is nothing wrong, but it is clearly uninformed.
There are now plenty of manufacturers making really nice 17 and 19" monitors. Samsung SyncMasters are an excellent example. Sony's just shifting their resources to higher margin displays where the clones aren't even considering yet.

Why would you assume nothing is sent? The WU site clearly says info WILL be sent when you do an update check.

Of course. It's probably got one of those 'you're lucky if this software even runs, never mind works as intended' boilerplate legalese.

Ben & Jerry's man... they're even a public company too!
No it doesn't. The shuttle flies like a glider, not a plane, seeing as the engines are off.

Right, the penalties for copyright infringement are much higher. What's it up to now, $250,000 + 3 years per violation?
It's safer to actually steal a truckload of CDs than to download a few hundred mp3s.
WTF is 'enabling technology'? All tech is enabling. It's enabling someone to do something they couldn't before. Whether it's enabling me to make mp3s, or enabling someone my ability to do so.
Don't be ridiculous and think this through.
