and why should they have to when their customers have been using the same website for 10 years. I understand that shit happens, but this really is not the sort of thing someone would expect, especialy when they've had their business going for so long.

They don't sell pipe. They purchase, refurbish, and sell the machines that make pipes and tubing. An even more niche market. If I were them, I'd be upset about the sudden increase in traffic to.
Back in the day www.slashdot.org didn't work. Which was even more of a barrier, because people would assume all web addresses started with www unless they were in the know.
Because the ability to electroicaly distribute the books is one of the big advantages of E-books. And there are E-books available without DRM. In fact, the ones without DRM seem to sell better than the ones with it. Shameless plug for a publisher I like. Take a look at Baen They determined that contrary to popularly held opinion that not treating your customers like criminals increases sales of both electronic and print books. They even give away several of their books, since they found that amazingly, people buy books they have already read.
Indeed. Indeed. And since you presumably carry your Palm with you anyway, for well, schedule, etc (at least I do) it's not like anyone wonders why you have it even if they do notice it. Also, I love your sig.
I read most of my fiction as e-books. On the other hand, most of the fiction I read is military science fiction and one publisher puts all of it's new books in e-format. Unrestricted even, so you can give them to a buddy, read them on as many devices as you want, even edit them if you really feel like it. They determined not having DRM helped with their sales of e-books, and the paper versions of the same books. And the books are rather cheap, since Baen sees them primarily as a way to sell more books.
IANAL but I'm also not a dubmass. Precedent is a ruling on code. The code is rather well written, and unambigous in this instance. Statute is the first place any lawyer or judge will look. Then to any rulings on the statute. USC title 17 section 117 has not had any rulings on the language of it, which means either it hasn't come up in a court case, or no clarification has been needed. By the way, United States Code is the LAW as published by congress, so by stating that code doesn't matter, you're stating that the law does not matter.
It doesn't matter why they wouldn't want to. What matters is that they don't want to, and legaly the DO have a copyright on the material. If they have a legal complaint, then until and unless the law is changed, then any company, no matter how well intentioned should stay within the law, and should be punished if they fail to. The best reason for this is that enforcing stupid laws is the fastest way to have those stupid laws changed. And the treaty that causes all works to be copyrighted regardless of the status of those works with regards to registratoin is a stupid law, and should be renenotiated.
No, I'm specicaly countervaling specifics about your point. There was a cost associated with those assets, the purchase price. If you do not make back the purchase price you are losing money. Period. There is no profit, there is loss. The quarterly statement will show a very large "liquidation expense" Corporations live on double entery accounting, not on cash accounting. If you don't understand double entry accounting, don't presume to say that something will be a profit. It pure and simple ISN'T. Even if your depreciation of assets was perfectly dead on, you still suffer a specific loss from the cost of liquidating the assets. A corporation that exists to maximize profits would never liquidate all of their assets, because it wouldn't be a profit. If it were the way to maximize their profits then they should go into the aftermarket sales of (whatever asset) instead of whatever business they were in.
This is a total falacy. You CANNOT maximize profits by selling off all the company's assets. You can maximize cashflows (also known as bank accounts) by doing that, however the purpose for every asset the company has is that it belives that over the lifetime of the asset that it can make more money with the product than the amount it will spend on the product. Add into that liquidation costs, and quite simply selling all of the company's assets is a very good way to LOOSE a lot of money. Sometimes a company will need to liquidate assets, if it doesn't have enough liquidity to manage its obligations, however this is not considered a good thing.
Sure, but when most people hear the word gyroscope, they are expecing, you know, a gyroscope, not an angular accelerometer. You know, something that spins. These devices only detect "spin" which while usefull in the way they are used, just isn't as good as a real gyroscope.
I'm from Kansas, gimme back my god damned planet. And before you rip me for my state's BOE's stance on evolution, please show me an experiment in which specication took place in multicelular organisms. Really, one of the few spiffy things my state had in pure scince less than 450 stupid fucks take away? I call bullshit. So fucking what if there are a bunch of other damned rocks the same size, or even bigger. From what I understand, we're still talking about fewer bodies than the moons of Jupiter. So, dammit, I want my planet back. Or maybe if you want to take away Kansas's planet, get rid of Mercury to. I mean come on, can you really call Mecrury a planet if it's tidaly locked? That's something that happens to moons.
Over a LAN the difference in speed between SSH tunneling and no SSH tunneling is about 3 orders of magnitude. At least with my server. I can understand why you'd use unsecured SSH on a local network. Especialy if you had a fair degree of control over the machines allowed on the subnet.
WEP has two ways of turning an ASCII string into a hex string. With one it's called a KEY and with the other it's called a PASSPHRASE. with a key, it takes the value of each character and makes it 8 bits, directly translating it to the key. With a passprhase it uses a standard hashing algorithm (I'm not sure which one, but it's the same algorithm for every router I've ever used, for my PDA, and for all the third party WI-FI drivers I've used with windows) to generate the key. An actual key will be the length of the encryption, eg 104 bits, or 40 bits. A passphrase can be any length. By the way, the hex key is 26 characters long, since you have 104 bit encryption.
And how is this magical water going to make it all the way to the computer. The air between the workers and the computer is still to cold to hold the water.
Where is this magical water you're talking about coming from? The air in the computer is air from the environment heated up. There is no source for water inside the computer, and it's warmer than ambient. If there is condensation it will be outside the computer.
What, The, Fuck? It's only a Microsoft App if Microsoft develops it. There may be a few bugs inherent in the operating system, but that is true with all operating systems. You cannot blame Microsoft for any bug that is not inherent in a product or API they developed. That'd be like blaming Linus for bugs in some newbie's "Hello World!" program. The bugs in firefox you're talking about were an API bug. But, nobody wants to write their own API to do every single function in a program. Especialy when the APIs for other host OSes do not have that particular bug, and the bug isn't known at the time the API is first used.
In Illinois, where 120% voter turnout in a precinct isn't even investiated, or looked at funny? Come on, be realistic. If the republicans look like they might win, more dead democrats will just show up.
Bush has NEEDED to use his veto power more than once. He just has FAILED to use it. Just because congress is the same party as him, doesn't mean he needs to sign every peice of paper that crosses his desk.
Which is why the first rule of the call center rep is "Don't waste your time, make the contact waste theirs." If somone goes off for 5 minutes, you'd only wait for 2 minutes, then hang up. Posibly less if you've got a low talk time contract like polical mesages. It's not like the people in the call center even care if you vote for the canidate that they are calling on behalf of anyway.
if you have XP installed on the system (legit or not) you can upgrade it to the same version of XP. As long as you don't wipe the hard drive outside of the install process, you can reinstall to your hearts content. You can even do the same type of upgrade as you would do from a previous version, and not lose drivers or programs. I've done this with a legit OEM licence, because I fubared the system, but the licence key was lost.
Excelent Post. In fact, that's one of the best explanations of how the bible can be the word of God, but still not give exactly the same information as we observe through science. God is perfect, and as part of his perfection, he understands that he made humans imperfect, but also allows for their imperfection when explaining things to them. There is no true conflict between science and religion, they are simply different ways of trying to understand God. Science tries to understand God by determining the way his creations work, and religion attempts to use logic to extrapolate an understanding of God through life philosophies.

True that it wouldn't "get you legit" but it would make it where WGA wouldn't lock the computer up anymore, wich is the technical problem.
