Rapidshare, Megaupload, Filesonic & Fileserve etc... are all involved in the illegal file sharing business. How come nothing has been done against them?
Just in: "Former prime minister Gordon Brown had his phone hacked and bank account breached by The Sunday Times, another British newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch's media empire"....god know what darker things will come out the woodwork.
Haha, if Microsoft was a biotech, the title would read "No Cancer is Indestructible." Maybe they should learn from the past, how arrogance has cost them a lot.
I was listening to that report on the radio, some of the reasons to explain this were:
- faster broadband
- user friendlier download sites
- people not finding it wrong to download illegal content
But they didn't mention how jobless people are supposed to find the money for legit content?... My question is this: Is it ok to draw a parellel between stealing a loaf of bread from a baker and downloading a pirated movie or music file?
I thought the deal was Murdoch helps Cameron win the election and in return he smooths things out for the BSkyB merger.
As for Rebekah Brooks, it'd appear that politicians and others have great fear of her. I can't re-collect exactly what a member of parliament said about her, but it was along the lines "you investigate my newspaper and i'll come after you." What a vile woman, almost gagnster creepy. And those are the people Murdoch employs?
You mean like in X-Men: First Class... the flying-levitation scene in the movie did not impress me at all. I think the US Army will adapt the findings to manufacture crowd control sonic guns.
Maybe things like ringtones or having played a couple of levels in a game will void your ability to return (i.e. explicitly marked non-returnable products like underwear, swimwear and earrings (unless defective)). But if it's a con of an App or a buggy one, just like a new laptop or car that bugs up when you get it home, then you should be able to exercise your 30-day money back. "Don't give the manuf. a break and pretend the problem ain't there" is my moto. The 'littlest' of fault, return it, god knows what nightmares're in store.
How about an App which didn't mention its heavy data plan consumption? Should you be able to return it (within acceptable deadline) because that info wasn't available at time of purchase? In my case, I remember trying to get a refund from Norton because a free online scanner found a virus that their scanner couldn't detect. Didn't get one either because it confused them or there was only 3 months left on my subscription. That was like 8 years ago, but I think in such a case and more, the law should be clear about returning unwanted or buggy software, which don't forget is just a product.
For years now, I've been meaning to view those video lectures of Great Theoretical Ideas in Computer Science from CMU. But all I get is a wall asking for my WedISO login. Btw if u have it, post it here!:)
If they turned that into a movie, I'd totally watch it...
P.s. If you're wondering where I got the 4.0 from, here's my list: Hackers (1995), Hackers 2 - Operation Takedown (2000), Hackers 3 - Antitrust (2001).
Good question, that South Park episode was perhaps spot on about "carefully reading Apple T.O.S." I suspect Google & Amazon online storage are alternatives to your hard-drive, so there should be a privacy clause (they don't get to interact with your files). With Apple, this article points to Apple having the right to do data mine. In both cases, I wonder if one can tell if a nosy admin has gone through your online files?
Slashdot Mirror
I once wondered what the Norton Scan button really does in the background? I know it ain't scanning for viruses but what is it computing, Pi?
You could try winning the lottery and start your own checkout business? :)

he was flossing his teeth, give him a break.
Major withdrawal syndrome... You can trying filling the void with TV or Radio but it's not the same.

Umm they were busy being productive...

He invented the ad-hoc & patchy upgrades... which is why all versions of Windows have the same root node, "crap."
I've never read the words "only problem" and "Microsoft" in the same sentence... are u sure u've got the right MS?

I thought UPSTO was trying to clean its image by not granting anymore stupid patents this year?
Adobe Reader X "Properties" says it's been made using LaTex and is 8.25 by 10.75 inches (20.1x 27.3 cm), doesn't look very A4 to me.
Too late! At $1 (£ 0.65) and ease of paypal, I literally just grabbed myself a PDF copy. In my defence, the popular 3D program Blender uses Python.

Seen one like that before, yours is neither good or funny. ...And I got a 404 whilst trying to access it.
Why are these folks always ahead of us... faster broadband, contactless payment... If they void software patents, I'm emigrating.
Better luck next time Arachnids...
I think the joke "what's a good Skype alternative" seems pretty real now.

i could do with a reset button...
