Has anyone ever compiled microsoft's released source code, and done a binary compare though? I'd pull the backdoors out of my code source and make the source not compile usefully.
This isnt true, at the point of purchase, it's a purchase, a transaction, and you have all the rights of first sale. The grey area is clicking the "i agree" to form a binding contract to license the use of the software encoded on the product you already purchased. Having already purchased, for instance, Word, when you form the binding contract by clicking the "i agree" microsoft then is required to give you 'compensation' lacking that a contract is not formed, and clicking 'i agree' means nothing. Something more than the Word that you already purchased for instance, a penny counts. And, since you cannot install the product by clicking 'i do not agree,' clicking 'i agree' is required to access the Word that your bought. This is a form of coersion, and invalidates the contract as well. Not having the ability as one of the members of the contract to negotiate the contract, weakens the contract to the users benefit as well. Also, to form a binding contract, you must be in a sound state of mind. Agreeing to MS's terms is a form of insanity, invalidating the contract. And finally, just install after a few beers, cant form a contract when drunk.
I know of at least one friend who was heading strait for a divorce, now wife and him play together almost everynight, and he doesnt seem all irritated all the time when we get together. I know other people that prolly got divorced over it too though.
there are only 3 red servers and they do run eleaborate pk rules like your idea. all the other servers are teamwork servers, the goal is to group up and use teamwork to defeat the computer. they create enough servers to almost satisfy the player demand, and they only have enough players that want to do pvp for 3 servers. ie most eq players dont play for the pk. you can still duel on the blue servers, but both sides have to consent or go to an arena area to fight, and there is no xp loss due to pk. some peeps use player death for a free tp to their respawn point heh. the problem with scarcity and item decay is its fun to get good items, now if it was something like an item decays a tiny tiny bit each time it is traded, that would slowly remove the stuff you are willing to trade from the game, while leaving 'your' stuff intact. anyway my 2c
Last time I remember seeing the logic for why video games aren't sold cheaper was in the 80s. It was one of those software orgs and they were going on that a 10$ piece of software is sold for $50 because they know they are going to loose so much revenue to piracy. My friends and I all agreed that that was resonable enough logic for us, and we'd buy about 1 game in 3 or 4, copy a few, and delete many cause most were crap. Thus we'd end up hopefully only spending $50 on games we actually liked.
I wonder if I have a point? If the pricing model is based on a certain amount of revenue lost to piracy, its a situation where even if they had zero percent lost to piracy, they would not rebate their registered customers. So, you have an obligation under the pricing model to only pay for some software? Take the moral high ground if you want, but software sales are not about morals, they're about profits, and if you are giving a corp it's expected profit then you are behaving correctly in a competetive environment. You can say stealing is always wrong, and i can say that unreasonable profits, cough riaa, are sin in the eyes of God.
This only ban's retailers in the country, right? Can aussies buy it online from like amazon.com or someplace? Would it need to be shipped in plain wrapping like a porno? Would it have to be smuggled into the country?
My work uses notes for it's client (running through vmware, tho i understand it's reletively easy to run through wine). I've been hoping for IBM to get off its arse and release linux builds for the client, designer, and admin (not just the domino server), but as yet...
So, im curious if evolution can interface at all with a domino mail server and esp the group calendaring part.
quote: "Today the judge basically he said it was not consistent with the laws of the United States for another nation to regulate speech for a U.S. resident within the United States," Worth said.
but it is legal fo the us to regulate the 'speech' for a russian resident outside of the United States, and like wise it is legal for the US to regulate the auction of the software just because some Americans were able to buy it?
I get a funny problem with one set of mp3s all downloaded off the artist's website www.tonycarey.com. In windows/winamp they were never a problem, in Xmms, they all sound like they are on 45rpm or faster. And only those mp3's too, it weirds me out.
A physical law of the universe, is that repressed things explode. I.e. gunpowder burns, but only a fast burn in the repressive environment causes the bullet or pipe bomb to explode. To paraphrase G. Lucas, the tighter you grip the more worlds will slip to your fingers. And to apply this to our situation, the more repressive a government or society is, the more things go underground and grow. Look at the war on drugs, the rebellion is abolutely huge and Jabba is getting really fat selling for the increased profit that the 'Order' of the Empire provides. The more ways that there are to become criminal, only serve to increase the number of criminals making it that much harder to ferret out the truely nasty criminals.
Or look at a simple social reaction, if you are an asshole people help you as little as possible, if you are basically respectful and start a conversation with a smile it's pretty easy to get someone to 'want' to help you.
Or look at the wack-a-mole that happens everytime something like DeCSS pops up. The more they try to squeltch it the, more it gets mirrored.
The ironic thing is that this is the same mob mentality that is pushing these bad laws though, our Representatives see the threat to America the same way a hacker sees a threat to free speach, and the rep votes to pass laws to counter the threat with the same urgent need that a hacker starts mirroring code. Its hard to convice a hacker that there is no real threat, this new law isn't a threat; and, it will be hard to convince you're congressman that this won't protect anyone. And in the end more people will join the Underground, concort with worse criminals (like my friend, who all he learned in prison other than you can go to prison for being black in Idaho is how to pick locks). And more worlds will slip through fingers.
And remember in every revolution from the taxes on merchants in America to the crushing of the serfs in france, the violence and size of the revolution is proportional to the repression. Just like all explosions.
Win2K has some features. For instance, if you replace notepad.exe with notepad.exe from rogsoft, Windows will overwrite you're version with the original. Ditto to just trying to delete all the outlook files off of the computer. Windows pulls the replacement versions from the dllcache, so to delete outlook or replace notepad, you first do it in this director. To get to dllcache remember to turn view hidden system directory's on and ignore the warning not to do this. If you have a service pack installed and the i386 still available under the windows directory, you first need to replace or deleted the files from there before the dllcache or dllcache will repair itself and delete your programs again. When you get it right, windows will ask for you're install CD to fix a problem, click cancel. Then there's some message about unrecognized versions which you click to accept. The empty directory for frontpage and outlook can not be deleted however (you can delete them in safe mode, but windows restores them on a normal boot).
I was communing with god the other day, lazing in the grass and watching the children play. I saw shapes in the clouds in the sky, and I worked up the courage to ask him why?
What are we here for?

We run about 8 domino servers for our agency. The mail server recently updated to a new version and now lives for about 3 weeks instead of an ave of 3 days before the http process dies (NT box). We have 1 debian box running the domino server as a testbed, it is our Intranet server (testing to move domino onto a virtual partition on one of the shark's upstairs). It has rebooted once in 3 years. The Notes client access to the linux box (an old 266) is horribly slow compared to the access to nt on the (370s i think they are, i dont deal with them if i can help it). The http access is very fast compared to the nt box's.
Notes/domino is not an email app like exchange in any way. We run full blown travel applications, payroll apps for the state, 5 webservers serving dynamic content without cgi scripting. Our dumbest office worker can paste a word document into an email, and the webserver component will merge it into the web pages that it creates on the fly. Linux setup was incredibly easy (if you remember to disable apache lol). my 2bits
those are the nicests worded press releases I think I've ever read. Very non-confrontational. I wish more companies had the good sense to try being nice before pummelling their most fanatic customers:--)
The accountants in my area were trying to do one of those pretty magazine pie charts, they even had an example, but no one could figure out how to 1) give each slice gradiant colors 2) round the corners of the 3d pie chart 3) or figure out how to add a light source and shadows. On a lark i imported the excel file into staroffice, and staroffice added 1, 2, & 3 automagically.
flip side is that it would crash often when trying to work with large spreadsheets, so they are back to MSOffice for their day to day stuff.
no, God meant, you tell her you love her (even though all you got was a peck on the cheek for a $100), and you tell the Guys down at the bar afterwards that she was great in the sack.

...but it's better than dealing with the airlines.
So, im curious if evolution can interface at all with a domino mail server and esp the group calendaring part.
what is the difference between these two exactly, like are each better for somethings?
but it is legal fo the us to regulate the 'speech' for a russian resident outside of the United States, and like wise it is legal for the US to regulate the auction of the software just because some Americans were able to buy it?
Um, the MPAA (J Valenti) testified in court, that you can infact fast forward through the FBI warning.
