Well right before I came to work where I do, some sales man sold us a bunch of IBM thinkpads, in their horror days (4 years ago) They completly sucked when we got them, not to mention it took a month and a half to get an order of less than 20 laptops. And got suckered into buying some telephone line printer networking equipment, even though the building we were moving into at the time of purchase was fully cat5 wires. We got the printer network box a month before we got all the computers. And it sat there waiting for the computers. And then I had to get the run around trying to return the items because I had had it more than a month. (I didn't even know what that box in the corner of the supply closet was -grin-) Anyways. This was some General Electric/IBM reseller, that shortly closed after we bought from them, for good reasons I assume. Luckly IBM took over the support for us, it all still sucked though.
HEHE I was watching VH1 the other night and they had a movie about the creation of Parental Advisory Stickers. Anyways at the time RIAA was also fighting congress to get the tax on blank tapes. Because they geuinuenly thought that it would destory the industry. They got the tax, but we can look back at it and realize that the industry would have been just fine without it. RIAA will never learn.
Redhats product named in the beta cycle are never the same as the final name. So I doupt they are really worried what they call the beta, but I'm sure they will give the final a bit more thought.
What really annoys me though, is that high court judges are supposed to avoid making rulings that can change the interpretation of the constitution. This ruling could have been made by simply saying that local community standards can be set on video games. But he decided to say they didn't get first amendment protection, and that they equate to child porn. This judges discision will probably get thrown out on a showing of bias.
True that, I've always felt that labor wages arn't the main factor in manufacturues leaving this company. Taxes, labor laws (I'm not talking about the nesessary laws either, the average buisness spends as much as they pay in wages as they do on workers comp, social security (they have to pay part of it) and taxes that they have to pay on money that is going to saleries.), enviromental laws, lawsuits, you name it.
actually on their website VoIP Blaster enables you to make free worldwide Internet calls (PC-to-PC) and at low rates but high voice quality PC-to-Phone calls using Innosphere(TM) Service.
So yes, it is free, someone else said that you have to provide a credit card to use the service at all, I personally doupt that, but either way they would only charge you for PC-to-Phone use.
Many of them do, the point is they use that to charge you per minute, while it cost them NOTHING per minute. A bit of a scam. Though they may have been exagerating, I'd be willing to bet the software will let you make ip2ip calls free while connecting to to a ip to pots hookup for some fee
depending upon how it works, all you would need was trash. Obviously you would need to inject energy to create chemical energy for food and stuff, but you know.
So.. you think blizzard really cares what happends to their games after they stop selling them completly. This case ain't about abandonware, believe me that.
Well if its travelling in the opposite orbit direction you are. WOW! and while I believe most all orbits travel west to east, you can have an orbit with many tilts and when where you cross the equator many of these orbits will cross, possibly at 90 degress, having two objects traveling that face at a 90 degree angle, thats dangerious. Not to mention trying to merge into traffic at 700 miles an hour!:)
Legal definition of fair use a use of copyrighted material that does not constitute an infringement of the copyright provided the use is fair and reasonable and does not substantially impair the value of the work or the profits expected from it by its owner
As you are allowed to make backup copies for yourself (this has been deemed legal by the courts) and backup copies for yourself do not hurt the profits of the owner, it IS fair use. Stop trolling, please. findlaw dictionary the actual law, which doesn't really define it, as definition has been left up to the court (the findlaw def is current court def) but states that you can't be prosecuted for it especially if its non commerical in nature
And of course the beauty of that is, you make unique originals because you want to. If you can duplicate matter, you can make your own food, and objects and survive well. You just need money for limited things, such as original objects, land (which price for would be outragious probably), and potentially engergy (assuming very very cheap energy had not been developed yet)
I know in the later patches created to work with Bnet that they are memory resident programs that affect how war3 sees the server, but the early one did actually patch the game, doesn't this require decompilation (which isn't nessesary illigal) I'm just curious?
No what blizzard is scared of, is Bnet has removed blizzards opportunity to charge for battle.net. And maybe just maybe (not) if battle.net starts charging, Bnet might charge too, (but less) and make a profit. HAAHA not!
Definatly, the quickest way for blizzard to destroy Bnet would be to include server software with the game, and just have the clients authenticate to a master. Then only the pirates would bother with a different server, and they might have legal grounds to crush them. And if blizzard is truly wanted to charge for battle.net they better get worlds of warcraft out, cause there ain't no other way people would pay. (hmm wonder if its possible to create a emulated version of the server for evercrack type games? hmm)
Strike the words "for a profit," and "under the DMCA" And your right, though truthfully if your not making a profit, someone is much less likly to go after you for GPL violations. BTW Bnet wrote this source code, and they were offering the code, untill the suit happend.

GPL's Strength

· Score: 1
And thats whats great about the GPL, realistaclly if the person gets the software home, realizes they don't want to agree to the GPL, they are then bound by copywrite, and arn't violating the GPL anyways, so they never have to agree to it. The ONLY problem I can think of is the source code included on the disk, that you aren't supposed to read it, then create a dirivative work. Sorta like reading a story then writting one with the exact same plot, but your own words. This is currently legal to do when done blindly (as it someone reads the code, writes down the "plot" then someone else using that writes the new software) weither that will hold up or not, is another story. As you did buy the text, and do have the right to read it and write your own story based on it. But if that didn't hold up in court, NO EULA in the land would hold up either based on the logic that you can't license away fair use at all.
Sure you can roam, but what if you wanted to activate the phone with that local carrier, they wouldn't allow you to, even though they can handle your signal, its detectable on their network as someone elses, and therefor can only roam.

Thats truly sick, (I assume anything less than 1cm isn't damaging??) To have an NASA office that sits around and surveys dust.

1. Make Battle.net server emulator.
2. ???
3. Profit!

Actually their pretty boxes are extremly flimsy, atleast the last one I saw (about a year ago.) They might have changed.
Duh I knew that pharoh song came from something else, but couldn't remember it. I feel stupid! :(
