Yeah, they are actually supposed to be getting me an upgrade to 8GB soon. Will have to upgrade the OS as well, that's why I haven't been forcing the issue.
Ever tried running full-featured CAD software on a 500 MHz with 256 MB RAM? I did that for a good while, and it wasn't more than a few years ago.
Even our 'new' computers are barely adequate Celerons with 1 GB RAM. Yeah, I can get by, but it's an exercise in pain/anger management any time I have to do anything more than a basic drawing.
Damn. I'm running a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33GHz with 4 GB of RAM & it still chokes on the CAD & GIS stuff I'm working on right now. I quite literally couldn't even use you machine.
Their "slow" computer is thousands of times faster and is available to them nearly all day! Only a poor worker blames his tools. Now if the computer just plain didn't work, that would be a different story...
Says the person who has never used a serious CAD or GIS application on non-cutting edge workstation.
The real litmus test for what you just stated will be when The Witcher 2 is released. GoG is (partially?) owned by CDProjeckt & they are selling the next installment of the Witcher series sans DRM.
I think you may be mistaken. It may fall under bulletpoint #3, but I doubt that covers a corporation.
Exceptions to the Exclusionary Rules
Courts will sometimes allow illegally-obtained evidence to be used in a criminal trial. This usually occurs when the court realizes that the information is vital to incriminating a person who may be guilty of a serious offense.
Evidence obtained illegally may be excluded from the exclusionary rule when it:
* Comes from a private person who was not acting for the government
* Comes from the state government, which turns the evidence over to the federal government
* Violated a person’s rights, but the person is not the one who is on trial
* Would have been found eventually through legal means
* Cannot be used to the defendant’s advantage because of other evidence
In short, when the federal government has jurisdiction over a case, any evidence that a third-party obtained can be used in the case as long as the federal government did not ask that third party to commit the act.

How appropriate.
My wi-fi is open.
... some executive files of government organizations....
Iranian euphemism for goat porn.
Yes, a vexatious litigant can be disallowed from filing suits, but it's pretty rare that it actually happens.
I've heard that GemRB will run on Android. May want to look into that.
Only in Florida. I can say that cause I live in the crazy-ass state.

Don't be stupid.

I'd take them to small claims court. They probably wouldn't even show up.
I was wondering if anyone would remember him. Being a super-engineer was basically his power.
Microsoft is butthurt & quickly becoming irrelevant, news @ 11.
If no one is there to see it, then no distribution has taken place.
Yet another poorly thought out plan by our corpro-fascist friends in the UK.
Bingo, I like playing my PC & PSP, but at different times.
I don't know about you, but I have to contract at least a year in advance for broadband service.
Good luck getting the religious to get behind that change.
Yes, because PCGamer, Kokatu, Wired & the UGO Network are completely irrelevant when it comes to the gaming community.

4chan is more relevant for nerds these days...
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I haven't heard that. Do you have a reference for that?
Isn't it funny that we (the US) don't care about Mugabe, but do care so much about Libya? I wonder why?
