Did you quite politely send them a couple of photographs of you holding said DVDs and tell them that the next letters they send accusing you of a crime you'd not commited had best be addressed to your solicitor?
The subject of the above article has a valid point. His "expansive area" of expertise may not be directly applicable to the matter being discussed, but I believe that upon cursory glance it's no "stretch" of the imagination to apply the theory to data security, at least in a personal respect. However, upon further "anal"ysis, however, it seems that the "fissure" between the two ideas is too "vast" and would only cause a poorly formed analogy to be used.
You'd be better off using pagefile.sys than some name you made up. How many cursory glances will pick up you're running your pagefile on a different partition? Or which pagefile is in use?
Their FAQ states that this is not the case, and ignores file name and extensions. I did notice only.tc extensions in the screenhots, though, so maybe it's snakeoil.
Secondly, the ICT Teachers at the school I used to tech for (Midlands, UK) would insist on calling the entire case of the PC the "hard disk" even in class. I felt so sorry for those kids, but I couldn't say anything about it. It's what the spec said.
The use of F/OSS software in education at ALL levels would be a total boon for IT education across the board. Interest in alternative licensing, for example GNU Public and Creative Commons would be tremendously beneficial in this age of free information sharing and distribution.
I distinctly remember a question on a sample IT GCSE paper from when I was at school, related to anti-virus software:
Q. Your friend tells you that his computer has a virus, and wants help. What do you do? A. Tell him to purchase an anti-virus product. B. Tell him to send you the virus so you can scan it with your anti-virus software. C. Give your friend a copy of your anti-virus software. D. Tell your friend to download a "cracked" anti-virus program from the internet.
I selected C and got it wrong. I spent 25 minutes arguing with my IT teacher about AVG and free software. He agreed, and told me that the paper was wrong. However, the mark scheme said A. and that's how it was marked.
No idea if they used that question, or similar, at any point.
But it's these microbuilds / interim builds which are causing the headache... 4.0 was API stable but not for public release (excluding bug testing / reporting). The issues with it were numerous and well documente elsewhere.
I can't help but think that this could have all been avoided by something simple. It couldn't be 4.0 Alpha, as 4.0 had already had Alpha, Beta, and RC stages to make it API stable. So 4.0 Alpha becomes 4.0 CC Alpha, 4.0 Beta becomes 4.0 CC Beta, and the becomes 4.0 CC1. 4.1 can follow the same convention, but as 4.1 CC Alpha etc.
The big issue is that 4.2 is really 4.0 for the public, and that's what i'm trying to differentiate. 4.0 was not for general use, but the convention of unqualified.0 releases dictates differently.
So, a new designation for non user-ready versions. Community Candidate builds, for instance.
These 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 versions could then have been 4.0 CC1, 4.0 CC2, 4.0 RC1 (bringing us to 4.2) with all of their associated pre-alpha, alpha, and beta stages. We now have a clear designation for community testing versions, as opposed to end-user candidates. CC versions should never be bundled, RC versions are included in non-LTS distro builds. Easy to follow.
I'd say not. Let the corporations spend advertising money to promote their agenda.
Their agenda or not, it's still going to get these kids (or their parents) in significant financial debt if they get caught and sued successfully. I say teach them all they need to know before that happens.
My fair use rights, by being to play content I did not rent where and when I want (for personal use) are being restricted by this technology. I therefore deem the technology crippled by DRM.
The post incites racial hatred. They would be arrested in any public place for saying such things, if they weren't beaten to death by the black community first.
Free speech does not mean you can say anything you want, anywhere you want. By all means have your own opinion, but expect repercussions if you share it with people who object. He has as much of a right to ask for it to be removed as you have saying the guy is entitled to his opinion.
Maybe if/. provided a way of not listing AC posts? That would filter all of the troll rubbish in one go, is done by user, and everyone benefits. Those who don't mind leave it off and get more valued content from the ACs which post good material (those who had modded, for example). Those who object get their watered down content.
Your knee-jerk reaction is the second biggest problem in the western world today.
Free speech does not mean yuo can say anything you want.
My right to not be offended does not infringe your right to free speech, it is true. However, my right to not be bombarded by racist trash on a technology news website is greater than your right to your fascist viewpoint.
I like that you have an opinion you feel strongly about, and that you wish to share it with others. That's your right. Just don't expect me to laugh and cheer with you when you do it in ear shot of me.
Loads faster, and has all of the information on one page for ease of browsing.
If they want to put up a picture of a product, or link google adwords, then fine. When they have obnoxious Flash animations which beep or whoop when you mouse-over them, or gifs which flash in psychadelic colours at tonic-clonic-seizure inducing speeds, I get a little irritated and subvert the system.
They'll learn one way or another.

I agree totally; GGP is off topic and uninformative. It is, however, a valid question, and one which would be pivotal in my decision to buy this new OS. I don't care what FPS I'll get playing FarCry 2 if I have to install cripplewear to achieve it. No doubt many folk here agree. I don't need to specify which particular DRM I am concerned about; The very idea of it being required is enough to put me off. It's a matter of principle, like so many other areas of protest. I take personal offence at being treated like a crook at every opportunity, and I'll keep taking offence, and telling people why, as often as possible. After all, there's no better way to change policy than by cutting off the offending party's revenue stream, and telling them why you're doing it.
I stopped buying Big4 music for exactly the same reason. I know it's all "drops in the ocean", but drops start streams, which start rivers, which carve landscapes.
All we need is lots more drops who would carve the landscape they want to see.

There are botnets which share child abuse pictures and video, though.
If they're aiding and abetting the distribution of child pornography. I say put them in jail.

I think that might get a little attention.
Tor is painfully slow. By the time DarkKnightAVIdvdQuality.torrent has downloaded, it'll have been a christmas re-run.

In the UK, "Oops, I forgot the password" means two years in jail (five for terrorist or paedophilia related investigations).
That's one reason.

Microsoft might have something to say about that.
Server 2003 was the NT5.1 (xp) kernel, Server 2008 the NT6 (Vista) kernel. The client for Server 2003 was Windows xp Professional.
Apparently, Server 2008 makes a very stable client OS when all the server gumph has been disabled and Aero installed.
DRM. Were you not paying attention?
My fair use rights, by being to play content I did not rent where and when I want (for personal use) are being restricted by this technology. I therefore deem the technology crippled by DRM.
Crippleware.

I sometimes feel the need to see if I still have what it takes to troll effectively...
:D
Apparently so
