Instead you're a relatively unknown Slashdot poster who, if you meet the stereotype, is in your thirties, over weight, and live in your parents' basement.
31, Married, Got my own house 500 miles away from my parent and I'm 6'4" 200LBs... So you got the 'in your thirties' right... O but I do have a basement... I keep ex-slashdot trolls down there strapped to tables so I can drill holes into their skulls in order to create a race of super-trolls who anwser only to me...
Yes yes or you could just pirate the program for free since doing all that stuff would probably violate the British only version's EULA circumvision clause or some other such non-sense thus invalidating your right to use the software anyhow.
You're trying to argue that you can get around them knowing by doing something that they probably will spell out you're not allowed to do in the first place which is no different to them than you pirating a copy. If you don't get caught everything is great.
Regardless it doesn't really matter to me which way you get around paying the full US retail price and a judge probably won't care ether....
Deep breaths dude. I mentioned power in my first reply to you, the power you mention there is more than enough to penetrate the body, so of course I am not going to play with it.
Indeed you did... alright just so we are clear that high voltage != Sure Death..
What is interesting or novel about this? There have been numerous OSes written in assembly language. That was pretty much what you did before C came along and even for quite some time after wards. Secondly, writing an OS kernel in assembly was a project that many people did while in school making this pretty mundane to be honest.
C came along in 1972, you must be much much older than I if you wrote an OS kernel in assembly in school. Most so called programmers today can't write anything in Assembly.... Pretty mundane? How many 64bit OS's do you know about that are written in assembly?
Since no company stole the work during the years while it was under the GPL
Well if it's just a bunch of ASM how would anyone really ever know if they did or not. And what recourse would he have when he found out? And GPL is cool and I love it but I don't expect everyone to use it so why do you?
I didn't make the post that you initially replied to
My mistake, please replace YOU with HIS in the former post... Apologizes....
Anyway, as I said before, the voltage is not entering his body there, it is pretty much bouncing off of his skin.
Bouncing off his skin? Where is this magical voltage bouncing too? Last time I checked voltage likes to seek a nice path to ground and if it has decided his finger is a good path to ground then it must be going some place threw him to get to that ground. Maybe it is just running along the outside of his skin but would you like to perform the same trick using 240volts, at 50amps and 60Hz? If so please film this for us but make sure to have all of your affairs in order...
There's a bit of a difference being someone saying "ae1294 is a jackass" (insult) and someone saying "ae1294 touches children" (slander). Whether or not what the blogger did qualifies as a simple insult or active slander is for the courts to decide. Hard to get to that point if the person remains anonymous.
Well G-wiz Shakrai not only did you just insult and slander my person but I bet you didn't check the/. user agreement before doing so...
With a straight face: That video does not show voltage bridging across his heart. I guess it would be more proper to say that his skin is acting as an insulator, but the voltage is not really entering his body there.
There is clearly an arc of electricity flowing into his body at 1:40, a few seconds later he sets a piece of paper on fire in his hand...
Is it traveling across his heart? Who knows for sure but your claim that high voltage in the 15k range will kill is totally debunked. TOTALLY....
It's not the voltage. It's the current and the frequency.
If you increase the frequency way beyond what muscles can react to and lower the current while increasing voltage you can come in direct contact with arc's of electricity as shown in the video.
I have proven that your original post is wrong. It is totally logical to say that if he can control his arm while coming into contact with such power than his heart which works the same way as his arm would probably not have any problem as they both work basically the same.
Probably won't gain much steam with a license like that. Enjoy your obscurity and 3 users.
SO what?
At least the they are doing something interesting... Maybe they will find someone who needs a really small and quick OS that is hacker-unfriendly. I'd personally love to see ATM machines running something like this instead of Win2k and XP....
If by some oddball chance they can make some money off their hobby more power to them... Anyone who can code a OS in ASM is ok in my book and you got no room to judge them just because they are covering all their bases. I mean do you really not think some company wouldn't come and grab up all their work and laugh after spitting in these guys faces?
Yeaaa he mentioned my favorite language PASCAL!!!!
I decided to concentrate more on the original path of Menuet with the 64-bit version
I see nothing wrong with this... they are writing this OS in assembly for god-sakes let the guy make sure it gets done the way he wants it. If people want to help out then great, there's no reason to bitch about it.... O wait.. this is/. there is always a reason to bitch about someone DOING something cool unless he does it the WAY you want him too... Gezzz people come on....
Wow it must be nice to be able to force people to do whatever you want. If I could file a lawsuit to force slashdot to reveal the IP and email of every user that has ever insulted me and then sue them for 5000 each I'd be a very rich and happy man...
Should have went to law school....or had a wealthy mommy and daddy... or become an actor....
I'm not real sure I would describe standing in the field of a Tesla coil as channeling voltages right across the heart. Right across the heart would require using your body to participate in a circuit that had sufficient power to overwhelm the skin as a conductor.
Please I BEG YOU watch this jackass then reply back and try and tell me with a straight face that what you said is still true.
What do you have? A Cisco router and a T3 connection in your basement or something because I can't even get my ISP to provide the correct speed they are charging me for or even give me a static IP, let allow setup custom routing...
We are not talking about something done to businesses we are talking about RETAIL copies of Win7 sold to people who don't even know there is a tracert command let allow know how to use the route command....
If your argument is 'I can get around that' I totally 100% agree with you! If your argument is most people will know how or will even think to try once they buy their copy from amazon.uk or more likely some third party illegally reselling to the US at say 'cheapwindows7.ru then I'd like to know what YOU are smoking because I need some of that shit too my friend....

If I was Microsoft all I would need to see is 'charter' one two many times to deactivate the OS and force some smuck to call MS to verify they are from the UK or at least ask them 'Hey are you an American?'
And I honestly don't think MS would be using the tracert command, I was only using that as an example. I'm sure they can program up something based on their own 'update server' web logs....
Something tells me that if Microsoft did that they'd have a whole lot of pissed off traveling business executives/government employees on their hands......
And this is somehow new? Most large businesses have volume licenses that don't require activation and that will not change. If you are buying a 'RETAIL' copy do you really think Microsoft isn't above checking up on your copy if it looks like it might be being used counter to the EULA because THEY already do that all the time!
Naw. They're just not prone to bursting into flame while you're cruising along at 65 MPH.
I donno man even non-hybrids have been known to do that so I'm not totally sure they have perfected these batteries as much as they might want us to believe. Who knows, Maybe they have! I don't know, nor do you, nor do the people building these things... We have to give it some time and see what happens just like the Final build of Win7.
Plan to get a plug-in hybrid in about three years, once they're debugged and the auto companies figure out that they REALLY need more batteries than they plan currently.
So, people who reside in the UK, but periodically take long business trips to the US are screwed?
I really don't see how you think this is so 'out-there' The OEM versions of XP are only valid for the original motherboard they are installed on and in the VISTA EULA it tells you that you are not allowed to use Virturalzation unless you buy the more expensive version.
How long of a business trip are we talking? Maybe it checks the IP for a month and the tells you to call MS to verify your OS. Hell I've pluged in one two many USB hard drives and had windows tell me that...
What about 'Microsoft Genuine Advantage', I mean really are you trying to say that Microsoft is above annoying people and making them call to reactivate because THAT already happens...
Only if you allow it to. You can turn that off if you want, you know.
And how many will do that again? If you're a cool slashdot user and you're going to break the Brit version EULA anyway then you might as well just pirate it. For everyone else, they are gonna want the updates if they are trying to use the intertubes...
Considering how many computers are behind router on non-routable subnets, that's not going to work. Just have it check to see what the time zone is. Of course, that lets out Canada, but that's just minor collateral damage to somebody as big as Microsoft.
THE HELL IT'S NOT.. WinXP boxes connect to a Microsoft server once a day for updates, somehow I don't think SEVEN is going to be much different...

What part of the EULA says I can't take my laptop with the legally purchased copy of XP across international lines?
You have no point... We are talking about the EULA for Win7, try again...
What, are they gonna monitor it to make sure that I don't stay in the target country longer than a tourist visa would allow?
Sounds like a good plan to me, what exactly is stopping them from doing this again?
Pissed off customers? - Nope one word - VISTA
Government regulations? - Nope, they have lost many cases and it's never stopped them before.
Will it happen? We will see, if it does you owe me 20 bucks....
Probably won't gain much steam with a license like that. Enjoy your obscurity and 3 users.
