Watermark all installs and patches that are downloaded.
Doesn't prevent fair use, allows tracking of infringers.
It allows disconnected clients to work without ever having to connect to the Internet at large, and doesn't depend on having a Windows client to connect to the net.
It would stop some spammers, probably mainsleazers.
It is incredibly naive to think that it would have any effect whatsoever on the majority of spam that already deals with illegal activities. How is breaking one more law going to change the mind of anyone that is already breaking the law and knows it?
Can you quote the section of the law that places the $5000 limit?
I think that's just the limit at which the FBI will seriously consider prosecuting. And I'm sure the aggregate is more than $5000, which is what they are going to look at.
Autozone = unauthorized use of SCO libraries in porting to Linux. It wasn't over Linux itself.
Everyone sued so far is a customer of SCO and has had a contract with them. There has not been a single Linux user not previously associated with SCO sued by SCO.
IIRC, hit tab several times then backspace over them. That's it, enough to crash the computer with a forced shutdown. I don't know when or if this was fixed.
It's quite possible to do so. Unlikely in a standard user app like Sunbird however.
Remember, most users run as admin, and many apps (notably copy protected ones) will install a driver and do low level driver access with that privilege.
There's a bug in cmd that causes csrss(e.g. Win32) to crash and bring the system down as well.
Don't be such a luddite. Just because you see an example of stupidity and ineffectual use doesn't mean the rest of us can't figure out how to use our technology in an efficient way.
The problem is, it's not an example of stupidity, it's lots of them. People as an aggregate are stupid (MyDoom required user intervention to spread, no holes were taken advantage of)
Starting to? It is a con by definition. You are trying to protect something from the legitimate user. There is no way to do that.
The *only* thing that is going to be effective is scrapping the CD format entirely and going to something else that has protection from the beginning, and no line out in the new players.
So you're saying that the law can not be known by the people it impacts? Sorry, no, that doesn't fly in a democracy (well, representative republic if you're picky).
And you're also not parameterizing it correctly if it can't be put into a config file. What is a source file other than config for a compiler?
The capability is still there, *if* the provider convinces me.
And gee, I just supported a site by buying something through an Amazon referral link because *gasp* it catered to my interests. This despite adblock being enabled. This single purchase would give them more money than all the ads they could ever deliver to me at the current rate for advertisements.
Slashdot Mirror
Which is true *regardless* of OS
It's already there. I did that for my father more than a year ago. No problems.
What did you find hard about it?
The only really hard part was the final boss, and if you saved up for the RYNO, even he was a piece of cake.
Or perhaps you'd like to sell the DVDs you bought?
Or the book you just finished?
They're acting less of a parent than they used to.
They originally stated that they were not going to carry M rated games *at all*
Then a little thing called GTA III came out... Money won over their ethics.

Wasn't Phantom supposed to be in stores November 14th or so?
Yet they are only going to demo it at CES?
Something like this would probably end up in CompUSA in their Mac section. That makes a monitor a relatively trivial purchase.

You are assuming that what the clients are doing is legal in the first place.
You do know that there are no known aphrodisiacs nor penis enlargement pills? All those ads for cheap software are valid, licensed copies too then?
I'd say that less than 1% of the spam I receive consists of valid, legal products.

Like making drugs illegal has stopped drug abuse.
Or like making identity theft illegal has stopped phishing scams.
Or how making unauthorized access to a computer illegal has stopped spam coming from compromised machines.
Nope.

Like the US suits that have been imminient for years?
How many have they sued over Linux? Somewhere on the order of none
Except the cmd bug doesn't need a driver.

What about the holes in Jave ME?

Aren't encrypted swap partitions possible?
"No more raw sockets" is firewall related. If you turn off the firewall, raw sockets can be created.
I don't know if the connection limit is also done by the same service process or not.

No, then the *current* business model will die.
It will likely go back to the original, product placement version that existed before the current one (why do you think they're called soap operas?)
You want ads to absolutely go with your content? Don't use HTML, it's that simple.
Adblocking is no different than picking up a paper labeled "free" and shaking out the advertising inserts.
