When one of my articles got accepted with a traceable email address, i started getting 10+ emails a day to jonslash@directfreight.com an address i used just for that purpose.
These items weren't delivered despite of the bureaucracy, they were delivered because of
the bureaucracy.
Once one of the postal workers received one of
those packages, they could either try to get
permission to dispose of it.(from who?), or
they could just say that it wasn't their problem
and pass it on to the next guy.
>Of course, you can't *stop* the person who got it under GPL from giving a "less-restrictive" copy to the guy who got the full-moon license...
The only way you could stop someone from redistributing it is to have a clause that makes it illegal to redistribute it under the old license if a newer license exists, but this would have to be in the original release.
You can buy adapters that do the pin conversions from a notebook drive to a standard ide drive. I bought one for less than 5 bucks at Fry's about 6 months ago.
I know that alot of people here think the EULAs are junk, but in reality some of them are legitimate. Although I think this is very cool, isn't this a blatant misuse of their device. I assume that there is somewhere where they say you can't disassemble them, and in this case, where they are selling them at a loss, they have a legitimate reason to request this. On a second note, what are the terms of their contract. Assuming you are buying the product, and not just on an indefinate lease, how long are you required to use their internet service before terminating the contract?
Yes, it might seem ridiculous at first, but quoting from the Attorney General's webpage:
> The hand injuries included burns, lacerations, punctures, cuts, bleeding, and tearing and blistering of skin.
I don't believe that many people can honestly say they received lacerations from the older machines. I believe that the injuries were probably alot more serious than the typical blisters that are caused by overuse.
There are three reasons that microsoft might do this. 1) They think they have lost the OS war and don't want to lose the Office Suite War (This isn't happening yet, and probably won't for a while) 2) They are extending their FUD strategy to create an illusion that linux is a real threat, and if successful, they will have an easier time defending their position that they are not a monopoly in court.(I believe this makes the most sense, at least at the present) 3) They are setting up to build their own distributions, in which their "enhancements" only work with their distribution, therefore causing a migration to their distribution(this is also not very likely, and it would be tough to do this without violating the GPL)
Whatever happened to the idea of prepaid internet cards, where you could purchase blocks of internet at a vending machine, etc. This is in my opinion one of the best ways to have a completely anonymous internet connection.
I wonder if when public libraries started popping up if book manufacturers complained that they would go out of business because noone would want to buy books anymore. Even with easy access to a library, I still tend to buy a fair number of books, sometimes just as a way to say thanks to the author.

Hrm, i have a HP 49G sitting on my desk.
I have had it for 2 years. that is the 49G+
that your page links to.
There is a simple solution to that. This is how I
went from 9.0 to 9.1 with only 2 commands.

When one of my articles got accepted with
a traceable email address, i started getting

I went to newscientist's site, and I can't
seem to find a link to this article.
Could someone tell me how this appears
on slashdot, but not on their own site.

But it wasn't that long ago when altavista.com didn't even link to the altavista search engine at altavista.digital.com

I used to get blisters playing the original nintendo as well as the atari.
Can I get the gloves for my Original Nintendo box too?
