If you burn the copy, warts and all, wouldn't it still play identically to the copy that you bought?
i remember back in the commodore 64 daze, i wanted to copy a game called Summer Games by Epyx. back then, they commonly placed an error on the disk that the game would look for before it would run.
in order for me to recreate error number 29 on a 1541 disk drive, i had to take my drive apart and hardwire a few connections just for the error making.
wow, things have certainly changed...
the problem is not if users will pay 7 cents per access of a particular site. it's the transaction costs that are the problem. so, a website charges 7 cents. however, the transaction costs are 25 cents (or more)..
this is where the real problem lies.
if you look at the links on the post - you can see that one of theKompany's open source product is Korelib - which supports all your platform and more...
which supports all your base and platform, does it belong to you?
i'm sorry, i've been working for 24 hours straight and this seems funny to me, is it?
Why would a company center its business strategy on an operating system that only holds a very, very small number of users compared to other operating systems?
because some companies have a good vision of what's to come.
"Microsoft can't beat us technically, so they've decided to strangle us in legal paperwork," said Lorne Cooper
please don't take this out of context! when Lorne says 'us', he is referring to users of linux and supporters of the GPL. Not MySQL (although i love MySQL, don't you? it's lite, crisp and effective for any site that's not ebay.com... i don't get the ebay contracts too often anyways, do you?).
you're kidding me, right? i just returned from England and was laughing at all the stupid cell phones the english are carrying around. looks like the US 4 years ago!
hi, i'm sun microsystems! we're like, cool and stuff so we're going to release our source code cuz that's what all the cool people are doing. of course, since our company is so bloated, we'll have to charge like, $75 to just cover the red tape costs.
(a few months later)
hey, what's happening? i thought releasing our code would make us cool and stuff. damn, what are we going to do?
hey! i know, let's say we're going to stop releasing our source so all the open source people will get their panties in a bunch! that's right, and then when we have their attention again, we'll open it back up again and we'll be cool and stuff! wow, we're really smart.
your post is so completely on target. when we look back 100 years from now, we'll all know how the DMCA attempted to steal our rights and how a case (maybe not the 2600 one) stood up and challenged the unconstitutional aspects of the DMCA and won.
i feel that the DMCA won't be completely thrown out, it will just be re-written. the whole concept of copyright needs to be re-reviewed now that we're really entering the digital age.
who didn't see this coming? england is more pro-Microsoft than the US is. you need a linux job? don't go to england. you'll be stuck developing microsoft proprietary solutions...
use a package called html2ps. it can be found here.
have a page generate the report, you can wget it if you have to. then convert and send to a printer.
if you wanna print to client machines, then use samba to send the print jobs to windows or linux clients.
for your information, melanie griffith still owns a successful internet company called One World Networks, located in Santa Monica (the company also does work with informercials).
whoa, hold on buster. sure, going from point A to point B direct? yes, you are quite correct. HOWEVER, who is stupid enough to do something malicious on the net without hopping ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE first?
this takes me back to early eighties, phreaking trashing daze.. when using a stolen long distance id#, i'd hop from sprint, to MCI canada, blow an operator offline at a pbx, back to the US and then to the intended target (just try and trace me through all that analog equip).
anyways, today isn't much different. what 'hacker' out there doesn't have 10+ hacked accounts on 'forgotten' university boxes with shell accounts? gimme a break.
well, if the RIAA wants to implement this, then NAPSTER might as well host on their servers all the MP3's it's allowed to 'distribute'. in fact, if NAPSTER currently operated this way, then i can understand the RIAA's point about all this.
the palm OS is so advanced, the other PDAs better run! actually, i once created a better and more robust environment on my trusty vic-20.
the palm OS is crap. it takes computing back to the eighties.
um, purchasing a SSL cert from a known authority isn't absolutely necessary to allow your visitors an encrypted session. they just have to hit OK one time to a dialog box question, big deal.
flame me for redundancy, but i don't care. whoever hasn't read the article needs to read just this paragraph: From Bill Goldsmith, Web director of KPIG radio: Goldsmith thinks the industry's take-no-prisoners strategy may backfire. "They're pissing off the artists," he said. "If they piss off online radio too, what's to prevent a system that doesn't involve the recording industry at all? They're encouraging the development of an alternative relationship between producers and radio stations.
my god, it couldn't have been said any better.
