I have a friend, an attorney, who swears by Word Perfect 5.1 for DOS. He runs it in a dos box and uses Ghostscript and redirection to convert to PDFs and fax.
I prefer the document coding that they switched to with 6 -- splitting the font size from font selection codes.
The computing power is low as compared to today's standards, but people forget that the basic principals that apply to developing software for mainframes of 20,30,40 years ago still should apply to developing software for PCs today.
Efficient, well designed, clean code should apply to code today as it did 20 years ago.
It also might be because if you are there in person, you are more able to go postal. If you asked some of these call centers where they are located they respond, "we cannot tell you due to security concerns."
If they were not such assholes, they would not have to worry.
"participate in the manufacture, importation, sale, or any other act that makes available a device or system capable of decrypting or helping to decrypt an encrypted program-carrying signal."
This could outlaw calculators -- especially ones that can do hex -- pen, paper, crayons, blackboards, telephone.
It can outlaw trucks, cars, and telephones since they can be used to make available ideas, calculations, and formulas, that can help decrypt signals.
Here, if you are a large company, then you can have the government file a civil lawsuit for you, recover money and give it to you, and if they lose the government pays your legal fees. If you are an individual that a large company pirates your copyrighted matterial, you have to pay the lawyer yourself, then if you lose you have to pay their legal fees.
Yep, seems fair to me.
Maybe the money recovered for the copyright lawsuit filed by the government should go to the government, and if the government loses, the RIAA/MPAA should pay the government's costs?
Canadian Supreme court upholds $25,000,000 against rape victim for patent infringement.
Jane Doe was raped on May 12, 2021 by Andrew Luster, VI. This rape caused Doe to become Pregnant with Luster's child. Since Luster was generically enhanced, and the enhancement was patented, this caused the Doe baby and the process used by Doe to create this child to infringe on Luster's patent.
The court was not convinced that Luster was himself liable for the patent violation or gave consent to the use of the license since the genetic material was obtained by rape and not by a mutually consented transfer.
The court did note that Luster was convicted and served 3 years for the rape and considered that sufficient payment for his negligence in the case.
Why not make it a main browser?

Mozilla's Mini-Me

If MiniMoe supports most of the web standards, why not make Minicurley^h^h^h^h^h^hmo the primary browser?
If the browser works well in a 64MB platform, why won't it run well in a 256MB system?
I didn't see anything as a downside to using Minimo as opposed to Mozilla.

If you get into an audio book, you don't want to leave your car, until the book/chapter/section is over.

It is Auto Jacks, Grip Tires, Rotary Saws, Cockpit cover, Special illumniation, Underwater mode, and homing robot bird.
They already have legalized spam. It is called the I-CAN_SPAM act.
Do you think that spammers have morals?

I write my code right the first time. :)

This also gives the government (or anyone else who can hack into their systems) the ability to locate your car at any point in time.
It would not outlaw the brains at WIPO conference.

Maybe he is hoping to be called as an expert witness for SCO? Then he can charge $300/hour for talking about his book?
I once used, "So you're the one who stole my mouse."
It worked.
Since they did this, should we all demand refunds since this make their routers so insecure, it is unusable?
Once you do that, you will be fine.
I am telling my kids to get me the visor with laser beams attached. Forget the shark.
The entire computer and display will be contained in a pair of cool visors and respond to voice control and where you are looking.
What about the secret courts, and all the other violations under the patriot act.
We in the USA do not have the corner on justice or human rights.
Being executed and the family being billed for the bullet will certainly prevent them from spamming again.
And if you are sharing the copyrighted material with someone who already has a license, but he lost the CD or the tape broke?
Yep, seems fair to me.

What about DesqView which was released before Windows 1.0.
