"Unless you were selling the PC the OEM license was never legal." please, site me ONE piece of case law that says buying an OEM OS for your own hardware you build is illegal.
Just one.
"Never legal".. sheesh.
"Sure you could get it, but then you might as well pirate the OS." That's quite a jump. Not surprising since it's built on a wrong statement, but still. Pay... MS gets money. Pirate. MS doesn't get money.
Ignoring you silly illegal argument, the OEM license with MS states: "2. Unopened OEM System Builder packs (1-, 3-, or 30-packs) can be distributed to other system builders by themselves. Note that they must remain unopened so the receiving system builder can accept and be bound by the break-the-seal license agreement that is affixed to the pack."
"You mean--like you're doing to me right now?" and BAM there it is, another nut turning everything around so they are the one being persecuted.
The poster simple pointed out the the religious right, and other, scream they want to force people into their beliefs, but as soon as someone points out they can't force a law to make everyone believe it, they are the ones being persecuted.
Because holy water from a more mystical place, or blessed by a popular priest can be seen as 'better'. Whihc is ridiculous logically AND theologically.
BY definition Holy Ware has specific uses and effects. How is 'repells evil' any different then some claims some words dispelled evil. And dispels evil is from the Vatican, not me.
" specific magic service." Holy water is specifically for a magic service. Get next to god, repel evil, make something more 'holy'.
IT's not different then the magic spells being said to turn wafer into flesh and wine into blood.
Yes, but science is stupid to cut. The long term survival of the country is in Science and engineering. If your society doesn't do that, then you are done as a civilized society.
Typical. You have no clue how much something takes to do, so naturally you assume your share is tooo much.
Here is a clue: Tax dollars aren't yours. Ever. They are all ours, societies. DO you really want New York, Detroit and Dallas and California to be the effective determination for all tax money?
and please don't make headlines that are a Yes or No question.
It's not risky because of there isn't enough uptake do to the start interface, they will release a patch for the PC. It's like playing 21, hitting on 12, and if a 10 comes up you get to change your bet....checkmate.
Yes, it does claim effect and power: Wikipedia: "holy water is water which has been sanctified by a priest or bishop for the purpose of baptism, the blessing of persons, places, and objects; or as a means of repelling evil."
Catholic church: "In this context Catholics distinguish sacraments from ‘sacramentals’. In the strict sense, sacramentals are signs, instituted by the Church and rooted in the baptismal priesthood of all believers. They always include a prayer, often accompanied by a gesture such as the laying-on of hands, the sign of the cross or sprinkling with holy water. Sacramentals do not confer the grace of the Holy Spirit in the same way as sacraments, but by the Church’s prayer they are intended to help prepare believers to receive and cooperate with God’s free gift of grace. Sacramentals include blessings of people and things. Certain blessings consecrate people to God in a special way, or reserve objects and places for sacred use. “Every baptised person is called to be ‘a blessing’, and to bless."
" A magic spell that "lets you repel evil" is, I would say, slightly more assuring of a definite effect. " The only difference is you are more used to one then the other.

Apple is becoming a portable media company. 25%of there revenues is from the iPad... or what short sighted people on /. called it "the iFad.'

ewww.. Apple wine.
AH, a quote for MS. that's surely entrenched in case law~
What the fuck does this have to do with CAD software? oh,. right, nothing.

The Vatican says it repels evil, is used to get you next to god, and the 'holiness' it is completely undetectable. How is it not magic?
It's NOT a symbol. Please learn your own gad damn theology.

How about we cut 1 bomber instead?

Maybe every other version of MS isn't as good because it's for home users, effectively being a cash cow testing bed for corporations.
Shit, I think I may be right.

Holy Water is used to create an effect. It's not just some priest blessed it. It has a 'purpose' in may religions.
It's no different the a magic spell.
How about this.
I sell a scroll empowered with the ability for the person who says it to cast a spell?
With a Genie in a bottle, I can wish for ebay to change this policy!
They should have instructed the complaints people to just laugh and hang up. Eventual the problem will solve itself.
Oh my, I'm going to be rich.
which christian? oh, lumping every one who claims they are a form of Christian even though their tenet directly oppose Christs.
Yeah, that number is crap.
Yes, it does claim effect and power:

The only difference is you are more used to one then the other.
" It's sanctified."
Which is magic.
The fact that's it's a Cleric spell doesn't change that fact.
Actual, When you sell holy water, you are selling water with a spell cast on it. If you can't prove the spell was cast, what's the difference?
Yes, you can! please provide video footage of you trying to pour it on DIck.
Now I have to walk this stupid ring all the way to Mordor to find a buyer.
ah crap, I fell for it to. Here is the ACTUAL OED sit:

OTOH, Oxford also has 'whatevs' so, maybe they are slipping from grace.
