pawnshops by definition hold the merchandise for a certain amount of time during which the original owner of the goods has the exclusive option of buying them back. EB is a second hand dealer and as such doesn't have to hold for exclusive purchase, only the state minimum time after which they can sell to the general public, whether or not it was the original owner.
This is what SCOX is claiming is true. What has people upset about it is the fact that Courts don't always understand what is really going on and occasionally make bad decisions. Therefore claims like these are very dangerous; court decisions become precedent, then get treated as law.
We are very clearly on the far side of the Laffer curve.
The actual tipping point is around 10%.
The basic problem is that spending increases have been outstripping tax revenue increases every time taxes get cut.
We're talking here about a cheap device Joe User would buy, such as a digital camera. This has nothing to do with installation, but is plugged into the USB port afterward. So, in a sense, joe User IS installing hardware.
Can Linux handle all of these?
I'd like to think so, but honestly, I don't know.
This is what I would have said if he hadn't got there first.
Microsoft started on the desktop, and now the major reason MS servers are so popular is the branding. We need a good brand name in Linux that is both on the desktop and on the server. Redhat filled that position until now. Now who will it be? SUSE?
Redhat will rue this one day, because the desktop can be a powerful advertisement for the server, and Linux growth will not be as fast as it might be.
It my be that Ashcroft and the people under him may never violate human rights via the PATRIOT act, but why take that chance? Even more, why leave open the possibility that some other corrupt AG in another administration might? It's not so much that it did happen, so much as it can happen.
Murphy's law, oft misquoted, says that if there is more than one way to accomplish something, and one of those ways results in catastrophe, someone will do it.
It's a statement about people. There are some things you just shouldn't leave open to abuse.
are the french really as unpopular in america as trans-atlantic tv makes out?
France and the United States have run a love / hate relationship since before the War for Independence. When Americans reached France in 1917 for WWI, soldiers were reported to have said, "Lafayette, We are here!".
Other times in our history we have had strong disagreements with the French.
In the current situation, I'm not sure either side should be credited with taking the moral high ground. French companies and the French government had some cozy deals with Hussein, and American motivation has clearly been debated world wide.
it seems that if the EULA is valid, the GPL is valid; and vice-versa.
The difference between EULA's and the GPL.
An End User License Agreement is a restriction on use. When case law catches up with it, the overridding factor is going to be contract law. Since it is a unilateral change after the fact in the implicit contract made by purchasing the software, it might not be legal. (IANAL)
The GPL, however, is dependent on copyright law. NO restrictions are placed on use. Redistribution is an exclusive right of the copyright holder and anyone else he chooses to designate. The GPL sets terms for the general public to be designated to redistribute the software.
Assuming there is SCO code there, releasing under the GPL would be invalid, and would have to be purged from the tree. Revocation has no bearing on that.
There is no constitutional right nor biblical right to make a living this way. Your pathetic posts are irritating, like the attitude the telemarketers and spammers display toward my desire for family time and privacy.
Your sig tells me that you are probably a hypocrite, whether you know it or not, because of a one-liner that means little to most people, turns others off due to the hypocrasy throughout Christianity, but does nothing to actually get anyone to look at the life and teachings of Jesus.
i don't know where the cutoff is, but australia is more than twice the size of greenland. You could put the cutoff at 1 million or 2 million square miles, or maybe somewhere between 2.5 million and 7 million square km and keep the results as they are.
That being said, it is true that Europe and Asia are divided by a mountain range, while all other contininents are divided by water, with the possible exception of ithsmuses(sp?).

If they did, then there would be import duty as well, and there would be federal record of the purchase for the states to go after for use taxes.

same as you get multiplying 18 by 3.

Redundant??!! It's the first relevant post!!

It is exactly a broken version of windows 98. As hard as it is to believe, it is worse.
You're new here, aren't you?
My wife and daughter are dyslexic. They had trouble at first seeing what was wrong with the statement!! I busted my gut!!
Actually when using a calling card, caller ID is often blocked. For whatever reason, a couple of my friends were using calling cards.
You are an idiot!!

It's pretty hard to screen your calls when they block caller ID.
I'm using a USB mouse on 9.0 right now!!

studies and benchmarks are so often biased. it's hard to get a study that isn't. follow the money trail --- sponsor of the study
quakers don't (typically) wear beards
Amish do

it's sharing, not dl'ing that gets you sued
