I remember during a jury selection process that some sleazebag lawyer kept going on and on about innocent until proven guilty and he (the lawyer) didn't have to prove innocence. He also went on about how we should not give any special weight to the word of a Law Officer. While this all may sound fine, the defendant was accused of driving on a suspended licence. There is not a lot of proof needed to show guilt here. After all this, the lawyer managed to delay the trial with a surprise witness. This all for a trial that should have taken half an hour.
Blizzard grants the right of transfering ownership of the account including any keys. If Blizzard refuses to allow you to play then you cannot accept the EULA and byt those terms you get refunded.
In actuality Blizzard should just issue you a new key. If you feel strongly enough about this, you wil probably need to file a legal suit. You might want to contact the EFF as they might be interested because of some of the ramifications of a lawsuit over a EULA.
I doubt Blizzard would want to let this go to court as either judgement would be bad- ie either Blizzard violated thier own terms or the EULA is null and void.
They already have things for people under house arrest. I imagined that the GPS would be similiar, though maybe smaller. Tamper with the device and void your parole and set off an alarm.
Yes. If the management of Apple is unable to keep up morale and loyalty so that someone does not feel the need to break the NDA, well that is an internal Apple issue. Nowhere does this give Apple the right to violate the Constitution.
Apple can either go on a witchhunt internally or they can improve conditions to engender loyalty, but they are not to violate my rights as enshrined in the Constitution, specifically the First Admendment. If you cannot or will not see this as a Constitutional issue, then there is nothing further to discuss.
Under the hood so to speak, SuSE and Caldera/SCOLinux are very different from Red Hat. Sure they both use RPM, but the file system is different and have different library schemes. So you can't use RH RPM's, the gui tools are different, and there are small cahnges in the FS so even from a consol it is frustratingly different. Not quite as bad as going from RH to Debian but close.
Mandrake is more like Red Hat. But there is no longer full binary compatibility with RH.
There are some other alternatives to Exchange such as Bynari, Scalix, or Kroupware/Kolab. Samba and OpenLDAP will handle most functions of Active Directory. You could also also go a different route intirely and use Novell's eDirectory or IBM's Tivoli Directory Server.
It sounds like you could use this book: "Windows to Linux Migration Toolkit" by Allen, David.
When Windows crashes what do you do? Most people reinstall.
Short of a hardware failure (And I have had one hard drive start to fail and still was able to backup my Linux system), Linux pretty much never crashes, and on rare circumstances where it does, you can still easily fix it. Even if you are not familiar with the internals of Linux, you can always take out your distro discs and do an upgrade install.
The question should really be, Why stay on Windows? All the software you mentioned is native to Linux. MS wants to take more control of your computer, hence the software subscription model, Palladium, and signed software.
Internal hardware will just work. Sure there is always something that causes problems, but except for the very latest and greatest in whatever there will be support for it in Linux. The two main pieces of harware that will be a source of problems is printers and scanners.
http://www.sane-project.org/ look there for a compatible scanner.
http://www.linuxprinting.org/ look there for printers. The short form, get an Epson or HP. Though Samsung have some inexpensive laser printers which come with Linux drivers.
Most people are happy to use whatever is available in thier distro feeds. I use to agressively compile the latest of everything but of late, I'd rather use my computer even if it means that I use slightly older releases.
It is more like, you buy vcr and video tape. You record broadcast TV onto video tape and that is now illegal. Pretty much defeats the hole purpose of the VCR doesn't.
Of course only after I finished this post did I realize I was trolled.
Yes. I was going to say that you don't need that expensive a capture card but then realized you must also be factoring in the cost of another hard drive.
Copyright infringement is copying so called "intellectual property" without permission.
Two different things. Hammurabi would understand theft. He wouldn't recognize copyright infringement. Copyright is a relatively modern invention. It is only recently that Copyright violations were criminal instead of civil matters. The majority of Copyright violation cases are still civil matter.
Copyright infringement can be considered a type of denial of compensation. It can also be considered a type of civil disobedience.
If you favor revising copyright then you need to start recognizing the difference between physical property law and copyright law.
Trademark are meant to protect the consumer. This is so I can buy a Coca-Cola and know it is a Real Coke and not some generic cola.
If I am searching for hand bags on google I might search for Louis Vuitton and would appreciate seeing some links for competitors. The paid links are obvious as to what they are. I don't see an ethical problem but then I am approaching this from a different view point.
Actually the best way to be sure that you will not have problems is check the rated amps for the 12v rail. Most modern high end systems need 18+ amps for the +12v. This is assuming two optical drives, 1-2 hard drives, a couple of PCI cards, an Athlon or P4, and a GPU of at least a Geforce4 or greater. This generally equates to a 400w+ Power Supply. Generally, if there is enough amps for the 12v then there is enough for the 5v and 3.3v. (Very few Supplies seperate the 5v and 3.3v rails.) You also have to be carefull on the el cheapo Power Supplies as they often do not supply enough amps for the 12v. It is not unheard of to see a 500w Supply deliver only 12 amps on +12v.
You mean you have never booted from a Floppy? Never booted from a 6x CDROM? I don't know about Macs, but I have booted from a USB1 thub drive on an Athlon64 computer.
Setup a maximum travel distance and charge for travel expenses for anything beyond that. I personally will travel 25 miles, but things are a bit spread out in FL. $.30-40 per mile is pretty fair if you include wear and tear on the car. Most companies reimburse for something along that lines so...
For labor I charge $40 per hour, in half hour increments. I make sure that the customer is satisfied before I leave, and be up front that if I need to come back it will be another fee. This avoids being at their beck and call whenever they install some stupid spyware. Be a bit flexible though, for instance if the computer gets stop error the following day I will come back reinstall widows for free.
I carry a couple of cds, like MS service packs, OO.o, Mozilla, AVG Antivirus, ZoneAlarm, the Gimp, and others. I also carry LiveCD and USBkey drive.
On old machines I do recommend upgrading to a new machine. For instance Sub300.com has some cheap systems that will work pretty well. For most home users it is perfect. Yes, it has Linspire, but Linux is easy enough once configured that anyone can use it.

The whole decision smells of some slimey lawyer.

Unfortunately, it seems they are destined to be proven right, most likely post humously.
Are you illiterate? It talks about developing a new X server using openGL.
Blizzard owes you a refund of $49.99.

They do not officially employ anyone with accounts. Most assuredly there are some farmers that work directly for IGE.

Meaning, he was extorting but not in way that could lead to a potential criminal charge.
And when you get something like: the following file is missing or corrupt...?

Have you read the Code? The Code is the basis of western Law.
The internet is public. And you don't need to go to jail to act out civil disobedience.

.fr has no ads but the .com has several ads.
Actually, it seems to just affect google.fr.
Compare google.com
and
google.fr
Seeing as to how this search was done from FL from a Sprint IP, I don't think google is trying to do a geographic reverse IP lookups.

You probably had enough total watts for the system, but If you added up the amps for the 12v rail; it was probably overloaded for the 12v draw.

It can still short the controller boards. It has a low but nonzero chance of happening.
