We are responding to your request for information about browser compatibility.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but unfortunately, our music downloads are only compatible with Internet Explorer. Your browser must be Internet Explorer. If you browse the site with Netscape, or any browser other than Internet Explorer, you cannot purchase and download music.
The reason is that your music files are wrapped in SDMI encryption, which is unencrypted by the license that you download when you download the music file. The license download requires an Active-X control, which is only compatible with Internet Explorer. Without it you cannot download your license and your music stays encrypted and unusable.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience.
If you have further questions, please contact us at support@customerservice.buymusic.com.
Well, I rebooted my laptop into Windows and hunted around a bit, and found a feedback form. Sent them a note:
I'm sure you're providing a great service. However, since you don't support my operating system (Linux) or web browser (Mozilla), I guess I'll just have to carry on giving my money to Apple instead. Come on guys -- do you really have to make this Windows only? I know you're not the only potential customer that you've lost because of this.
I should receive a response with 12 hours, or so it says...
Actually, it does. Certain manufacturers are sueing people under the DMCA for refilling ink cartridges. The cartridges contain a chip saying whether they're empty, so cracking this chip is arguably circumvention...
Well, really, there should be a clueless moderation for the likes of your post. We're talking about a different DVI here (no, not Difference Vegetation Index either).
I have a hard time deciding upon which of those I hate the more. On the one hand, there's the really slow, interpreted, write-once-debug-everywhere language with annoying syntax and a set of libraries for producing a really unprofessional-looking gui. On the other hand, there's the really slow, interpreted, write-once-debug-everywhere language with annoying syntax and no way of writing gui stuff. Woohoo.
Don't bother with the CF reader. CF is IDE compatible, so you just need to do a bit of soldering to make an adapter. If you look at these closely enough you can even see how to do it without having to read the specs:)
Kinda like when at work they went sweeping for 802.11 access points. they discovered 10,000 of them in my office alone:-) funny I wonder who was running that access-point spoofer generating all those bogus beacons.... oh well...
They should have fired you for that. Security policies exist for several very good reasons.
Similar in the UK. If you have to purchase a product / use a service to enter, it's classed as a lottery and so is taxed, illegal to provide to under 16s and must be registered. Hence the 'no purchase necessary' clause on most things.
I am a Java developer, and I have used the LGPL on work (and also used work that has been LGPL'ed).
My intent in using the LGPL is pretty simple: If you want to use my library, go ahead. If you make changes to my library, those have to be released back into the wild, so the library can be improved by everyone's improvements. I'm not a 'Free Software' zealot -- I'm an open-source pragmatist.
If the LGPL does not meet this intent with Java, then we should find or write a license that has this intent. Perhaps one of the ones at Creative Commons would work...
Or maybe just look for one already working with you. From the statistics, it's fairly likely that even small companies will have at least one colour blind person... Far easier than messing around with wierd software hacks which may or may not actually work.
Slashdot Mirror
Uhm, doesn't slashdot have editors to fix that kinda thing? Guess not... It's stuff like this that keeps me from subscribing.
5000 packages after how long? A year maybe?
Uhm... Cache the CD to tmpfs, unmount, eject, put in new CD? Pivot_Root will do all the hard work for you...
An IBM sales droid will supply you with full environmental specifications for ThinkPads if you ask. Plus, ThinkPads run Linux pretty well...
Which ignorant asshole modded him up? He doesn't have a clue what he's on about. Anti-photons *are* photons.
Uhm, or someone was being sarcastic? Jeez, don't they teach you USians basic language skills at school?

Site is kinda slow... one, two, three, karma please?
Hmm, because of course children and insane people don't have rights...
Those kids know how to use tinfoil, right?
What's happened to all the decent trolls? Does no-one try any more?
Just based on Java instead of lisp.

Sounds like you're bullshitting. Admit it troll, you just made the whole thing up...
Buy a load of AIX machines instead.
I thought BSD was dying...

There isn't an ebuild yet, and I'm too lazy to do it the old way...
