Ah, but if you look at most EULAs, they contain something like the following language: "This Software is licensed, not sold. You may not decompile, or disassemble this Software or any additional downloadable software in any way or form."
So while you own the physical media, you do not own the copy of the software on it, or any copies you install. If the company that sold the software finds out you violated the EULA, they can revoke your right to use the software, at which point you're free to use the CD as a coaster.
This is much different than owning a copy -- a musician can't revoke your right to listen to your CDs, an author can't revoke your right to read your books, a movie studio can't revoke your right to play your videos.
If you buy a copyrighted work absent any licence, a book, say, you can do whatever you want with that particular copy. That is because you own that particular instance of the copyrighted work. You can loan it out, sell it, scribble all over it, insert or remove pages, whatever. This is because copyright doesn't regulate use.
Right, but the GPL covers redistribution, not use. Under copyright law you have no rights to distribute copies of a work in it's entirety. So you either abide by the GPL when redistributing copies of a GPL program or you have no right to redistribute it. The GPL grants extra rights, it doesn't limit rights that are there by default. Regardless of whether you agree to abide by the GPL, you have unlimited rights to modify it for your personal use. This is true of any program without a EULA.
With a EULA, you are buying a right to use a copy of the program. You do not own the copy, an so you have no right to modify it if the EULA says you can't. You can also be prevented from selling the right to use the software to anyone else. The EULA can say pretty much whatever it want - e.g. "You may only use this software on leap years between the hours of 6 and 7 am"
During POST, hit the pause key unshifted to pause the process. Hit space to resume. I believe the Linux kernel also respects the pause key before it launces init. ctrl-break still sends a break, but ctrl-c is usually easier.
I've also had no end of trouble setting the permissions to 660 U:root G:subversion without the database corrupting.
This is actually very simple to fix, although you do have to be careful setting things up. Just make your db directory look like this:
[svn@lynx ~/ec-svn]$ ls -la repo/db total 442800 drwxrwsr-x 2 svn svn 4096 Dec 15 17:55. drwxrwsr-x 7 svn svn 4096 Feb 27 2004.. -rw-rw-r-- 1 svn svn 8634368 Dec 15 17:55 changes -rw-rw-r-- 1 svn svn 1032192 Dec 15 17:55 copies -rw-rw-r-- 1 svn svn 8192 Dec 13 15:25 __db.001 -rw-rw-r-- 1 svn svn 270336 Dec 13 15:25 __db.002 ...
Note the SGID bits on the directories. Now all you have to do is follow a few simple rules:
All processes accessing the db must be in the svn group.
All processes accessing the db must be using a umask of 002.
All interactive maintenance must be done via the svn account and not as root.
I have been running a repo at my company for over a year (since v0.33, 11/03) and the only wedges I've had is when I forgot and broke rules 2 or 3. These were all recoverable by fixing the permissions and running svnadmin recover.
As for backups, I have my post-commit script do an incremental dump of the committed revision in the background. A cron script does a nightly cumulative dump of the entire repo.
Once ads become super-invasive to the point where a normal person cannot walk outside without hearing and seeing them, people are going to start going ballistic (or at least I will).
Another one that is rampant at my company is top-posting. Everyone insists on quoting a message in a reply and proceeding to post their comments at the top. When I try to lead by example and properly bottom-post, people complain my emails are not clear. Argh.
Does anyone know how to fix that abortion of an email client that is Lotus Notes? I'm looking for something that will stop it from forcing me to top post, wrap lines at 72 characters, quote replies properly with "> ", and insert the appropriate headers when replying.
Regarding signal, if you can see/hear anything recognizble now, the same signal strength digital signal will look nearly perfect. You'll still have to tweak with the rabbit ears if you have a weak signal. Sorry if you'll miss the snow and buzz.
I already miss the snow and buzz. Digital signals don't degrade gracefully. With analog cable if there was a snowstorm or noisy transformer near the line or whatever, the signal would get snowy, but it was still watchable. With my digital cable "upgrade", I got huge black boxes missing from the picture or a nice slideshow.
I decided it wasn't worth the new and improved price and I've since scrapped the whole thing for rabbit ears and DVDs.
DeCSS doesn't brute force the key, it requires a valid player key. It uses this player key to decrypt the 40 bit title key stored on the DVD. DeCSS then uses the title key to decrypt the DVD content just like any other DVD player. The original player key included with DeCSS was extracted from the Xing player.
The Xing key has long since been revoked, but a flaw in CSS makes it easy to generate new player keys, reducing the effective key length to 25 bits. So players like LiVid can simply generate different player keys until they find one that works at runtime. They can then feed this player key to DeCSS to read the DVD.

Costs are high because of several factors, first is the medical billing system. In our country we have countless carriers and each has a different form and another person you have to higher in order to understand what they will and what they won't pay for. This can add up to about 40% of a hospital's operating budget. A single payer health care system could take care of this, or a more standardized set of forms and practices.
As of last October, every insurance company must accept ANSI X12.837 electronic claims or appoint a clearinghouse to accept them on its behalf. Converting is going to cost - many hospitals and insurance companies were using the NSF spec or some proprietary format because the X12 spec is so complicated.
I don't know if this is just an old hippy yarn or not, but my parent told me that you could graft a hops vine onto the root of a marijuana plant and the resulting cones would have a decent THC content.
Plants are a lot more promiscious with their genetic material. As far as I know, human males don't fling their sperm into the air to fertilize females miles away.
You know maybe saddam had WMD then evaporated them and any evidence of their existance just as bush invaded. Doesn't seem too difficult to understand to me.............
Haven't you heard the news? We didn't invade over WMD anymore. Now we invaded because Iraq wasn't following the food-for-oil sanction rules.

Well, at least it's been great if you're in the clearinghouse business...

There was also a similar game called "Flashback" that was released around the same time. I don't recall if it was by Interplay though.
They also mention that this doesn't include the 48.4 cents in state and federal taxes for fuel in Oregon.
Dye it red and call it #2 Fuel Oil...

You know, basically turn it into mutt
Bell-bottoms are back and have been for a while - they're called "flares". So are hip-huggers (low rise).
A few years ago, colleges were full of neo-hippies wearing flares and sporting 'fros and peace signs.
Everything old is new again.
In 10 years, Mario will be cool again too.

Some classier mainboards do. A $15 ethernet NIC will not. As the poster below says, it mostly depends on cost.
