Here's a more accurate translation of that paragraph:
Lagmannsretten legger til grunn at en DVD-plate er sa utsatt for a fa skader at kjoperen ma vaere berettiget til a ta en kopi, for eksempel av en film han er spesielt interessert i a bevare, het det i dommen.
"The court argues that DVD-records are so exposed to damage that the buyer must be entitled to make a copy; for example of a movie he's particulary interested in preserving."
I was until recently using Mercury with Spamassassin for handling spam. It worked great, no false positives (mostly due to the fact that most of my legimitate mail isn't in english I guess) and just a couple percent false negatives. However, setting it up was painful and processing was slow (forking a separate Perl process for every mail).
The most annoying fact was that Perl stole focus whenever it was launched to process incoming mail (eg. in the middle of furious Warcraft III battles)
Then Mozilla 1.3 came out with Bayes filtering. This really rocked my world. I downloaded a spam-archive and hacked together a quick script to concat them into a Mozilla mailbox. Fired up Mozilla mail, imported my OE mailfolder (which was ca. 1300 already Spamassassin'ed/hand-sorted messages), marked them as ham and the spamarchive folder as spam.
It works great! I can count the false negatives I've received since then on one hand, and learning Mozilla about them couldn't be easier. No false positives. Despite the pretty huge memory footprint (and that moving around lots of messages between folders is sloooow), Mozilla Mail is just great, and as a bonus I won't have to worry about 0-day OE exploits anymore (although, with up-to-date patching OE has become pretty solid).
If you're sick and tired of fighting off spam all the time, I really would recommend you try Mozilla Mail. Just be sure you have LOTS of handsorted spam/ham that it can "learn" from.
Then your hw/configuration sucks (or at least aren't xp compatible in which case xp shouldn't be used in the first place).
I use XP SP1 w/patches as a web development box all day every day. I've got apache 2, php 4.3, activeperl, mysql and pgsql running at all times, while using flash/dw mx along with photoshop/illustrator. And i'm running my own mta (as my campus isp has no smtp/pop3) as a service also. In other words, I'm putting a decent load on XP. I have 512 mb ram on a 1800+.
I have yet to see a blue screen.
So basically - you show me your anecdote, and I'll show you mine.
And btw, didn't win95 have a bug where the tick counter became overflown after some forty days of uptime, crashing the machine?
Many scientists also believe that many object exist outside the orbit of Pluto.
One is already found - more than 1.5 billion kilometres beyond Pluto. Quaoar, as it has been dubbed, is about 1,280 kilometres across and circles the Sun every 288 years.
This Usenet-thread from comp.lang.javascript, dated September 1996, shows that this technique was commonplace years before they filed their patent application. Try a search for "window.open()" and "window.opener.focus()" on Google and you'll find plenty of other examples.
Well, it seems to me that the greatest obstacle that keeps us from creating a translate-o-matic thingy is writing the software, and not that todays hardware is too slow. Weird example.
Well, there's a site specializing in reviewing bad movies. They haven't reviewed Battlefield Earth yet, but there are loads of other fuckups to enjoy...
I feel somewhat insulted.. I haven't received a single copy of it, while some here brag about dozens of copies.. guess I got no friends.. could someone please mail me it and make my day?
You can script in Windows using a VB'ish scripting language. You'll need Windows Scripting Host installed (default on Win98). Scripts need a *.vbs extension.
However, the only home-made scripts I've ever seen are worms, which, due to the lack of security in Windows 9x, spread very easily by overwriting default scripts in Pirch/mIRC with malicious code (dcc's itself to others onjoin and such). Pure heaven for script kiddies!
Whether there should be printed documentation avaiable depends on the product.
Hardware, for instance, should come with thourough printed documentation, at the very least an installation guide/troubleshooter. Whenever you are trying to address a hardware-problem that requries the power to be turned off, you shouldn't have to boot the PC to read the manual.
Software, on the other hand, may rely entirely on electronic documentation. Creating a HTML-manual with a Java search-applet (like the one Macromedia Dreamweaver has) is in most cases sufficient. However, some complex programs and operating systems should have some sort of printed manual as well - guess one has to value that individually for the product in question. There are important advantages electronic documentation has versus good 'ol printed manuals - seen from both author and customer perspectives.
Cost
The diffence between the cost of bundling 10.000 printed manuals compared to 10.000 HTML manuals, even on a separate CD, is substantial. Don't think you get those "bricks" for free.
Maintainability
HTML manuals can be updated automagically, or at least, easily on web - contrary to printed manuals.
Speed
The "What is this?" button in Windows is a good example. You get relevant info in a mouseclick, while you in a printed manual have to flip through perhaps hundreds of pages before you find what you were looking for. Same applies to searching, which in a HTML manual may consist of a keyword search option in addition to the regular index of hyperlinks. (like in PHP manual, which is easily manoeuvreable WITHOUT a keyword search option)
However, I do recognize the fact that written manuals are better for the eyes, and that in some cases are prefferable since they are portable (you can read it on the bus). But hey, are you reading manuals on buses? I prefer books..
Considering all the FUD Microsoft has written about Linux, I find these rumors very odd, and I still believe there are more snowballs in hell than MS-developers porting MS Office.
But if this happens to be true, I'll be happy. A giant like MS will attract the attention of many others towards Linux.
I play(ed) Starcraft flawlessly through Wine on bare naked X, (so I assume most of you others can too). Why use development resources (time, coffee , and/or cigarettes) on something that is (so to speak) already "done"?
I loved StarCraft, and yeah, I stil think it's fun, even though it's gone a couple of years since its releasement, but the term "future development on Linux" (and other platforms) must be intepreted literally: with focus on the future; future games and applications with future technology, including the ones listed by delevant. Porting yesterdays games aren't going to bring Linux any much further as a gaming-platform.
Neither Jon Johansen og MoRE did not crack the DVD encryption code, according to MoRE themselves. The actual crack was done by some anonymous german guy (who now is a member of MoRE).
MoRE (including Jon Johansen) did DeCSS, which is just the GUI for breaking the DVD encryption, based on this german guys work.
Makes one believe that Økokrim interrogates people entirely based on "the facts" written in papers...

What the hell do they need nuclear weapons for anyway?
