It doesn't matter. Or at least it shouldn't matter. What should matter is, was there any intention to do damage to the original song? No. The intention was to make us laugh about Bush and Kerry, not to damage the 'reputation' of the song...
And if it wasn't for this parody or satire I would never ever have heared from this song in my entire life. (We have different songs, here in Europe;)
"This puts a completely different spin on the song," said Kathryn Ostien, director of copyright licensing for the publisher. "The damage to the song is huge."
Taking life too serious can be damaging to your sense of humor. But hey. Life IS a big joke.
I agree. The problem is where is your concentration, on the road or with the call.
A casual conversation with your co-rider or a casual conversation on the phone are more or less the same, but if it's a call that requires your attention, like important or hard decisions, it's a whole different thing.
It's hard to discriminate between those two in court, so I prefer no calls at all while driving. Hell, even on a bike I think it's wiser to stop and finish my conversation.
What's the reason for the frelling traffic laws? To keep the roads safe.
How can you do that the best? By watching tha "basics of drive a car in 5 hours" DVD.
OF COURSE NOT, YOU MORON!
You should keep your eyes end concentration ON THE ROAD. Is that so frelling hard to understand?
Sorry for the shouting, but it really pisses me off if there are people making calls, reading books, newspapers, reading maps or watching a FFFF.. a FFFFFFFF. Stupid DVD.
Ok. so lets rewrite the traffic laws and add a simple rule. Rule number one. You shall do everything reasonably possible to keep your presence on the road as safe as possible, for you, but more important for others.
Boy, am I pissed... watching a dvd.. the $)*@#&)..
It goes against everything that has to do with kapitalism and making profit. Therefore it is against democracy.
And since we all know you're a terrorist if you're against democracy. So copyright is one of the roots of demodracy and it has to be protected and enforced by any means.
Let's assume/. was affected and let's say they put up a big sign saying "you might be infected through our site. We've sanitized our servers and if you're at risk in the future you're the first to knoe. Meanwhile download a check here and we apologize for the inconvenience"
Then I know they take me seriously.
The other possibility is "hey. we've caused infection of your computer, but we're not going to tell you. we don't give a shit"
If sites infect my browser they should do everything POSSIBLE to warn me. Legal issues? Dunnow. I'm more likely to get angry when they don't warn me than when I have to figure out where it came from...
The book is about a government controlling the whereabouts of their citicens.
Things like installing camera's in public places, wiretapping without court order, demanding things like creditcard information for x-referencing when entering a country (1) and so f***ing on.
Like a terrorist will have just one suspicious crecitcard. -DUH-
That's something you see a lot. Dutch tourists are good at it. In a shop in a foreign country, they ask something in dutch. If that doesn't work, talk louder and finally shout what you want.
The thing is in places with many dutch tourists, eventually this will work...
Find a nice upcoming P2P application / system / network and drop the one you're using before it gets too big / interesting.
Proposal: Use some king of portable data storage system. If you need something ask your friends to look for it and ask them to ask their friends aswell. If you get confirmation, pass them a data storage unit to put the requested things on. Make sure you have things aswell because if you don't chances are you won't get new stuff.
etc. etc. you get the picture.
I would like to see the RIAA, MPAA infiltrate THAT network;)
I used the shell command of AutoCAD to hack myself to DOS when everything was shielded off. The other option was Word Perfect.
After that I found out the password for the menu was hard coded in the exe file (searched for 'password' and looked for interesting ascii). After that they moved the password wo a separate file and made it hidden. It took about 3 sec. to find that file.
Etc etc. Anyway... Those were the days, but finding ways to get shells is still funny and interesting;)
My last job changed ovet the years. When I started we were rather small. Everybody was motivated to make something out of it. And we wouldn't mind doing extra things to improve service.
We were compensated. If there wass a reason to start later. No problem. If we needed something to improve working conditions. No problem. If there were problems at work the boss would do everything to get the problems out of the way.
As we got bigger and bigger, the climate changed. Less compensation, more work, employees were no longer top priority and even the coffee got worse.
I understand and know things change as you get more professional, but the result was the employees were more and more on their own, were less happy and therefore less motivated and worst of all (for the company) no longer willing to do that little extra for the job to improve quality.
Tough luck. Base line is I want to feel appriciated for what I do. That is more important to me than paying my expences, but if I'm not appriciated I'm just not interested anymore to give that little extra.
In the end I gave them the finger. Something I should have done a year sooner and it was a hard decision to make, but it was the best one I've ever made. My new work has so much better conditions that even though I earn less now I'm in fact better off than I was before.

Why? The links are not working.
:)
All the fraud-mails I get refer to illegitimate websites or servers in China or Russia.
An other way to check the validity of the mail is to check the mailheaders and see is they are correct.
But still I scored 70%
The funny thing is I would have scored 100% is this was for real. Why? I don't do PayPal, Visa, Earthlink and so on
And GENERAL MOBUTU is not my african friend, so I'm not falling for his sweet talk either...

This is a lesson worth far more that $5000!
Glad you're ok.

My guess is that Office uses several undocumented / unknown systemhooks. These would have to be rooted out and recoded.
This would require a lot of $$$, so it's not going to happen.
The real problem is the money that is involved in lawsuits.
Probably there will be a hidden watermark in your Venus of Milo ;)
Kijk, jij snapt me tenminste :)
"omelet du fromage, omelet du fromage!!"
Once you understand the state they're in the rules have changed ;)
Do you want a morgage on that penis or perhaps does the penis want a diploma?
How should I know where i got my infection?

I AM dutch so I should know what I'm talking about

It wouldn't with multi-processor applications if there isn't an os that supports them :)

What we want to know is the computers they're using are running Linux and what is done to protect the network against h@xx0rs.
AFAIK the governement operates on the behalf of THE PEOPLE therefore all the information they gather BELONG TO THE PEOPLE and shouldn't be secret.
LOL!!!
;)
Q: But what to do?
A: Stay one step ahead.
Find a nice upcoming P2P application / system / network and drop the one you're using before it gets too big / interesting.
Proposal:
Use some king of portable data storage system. If you need something ask your friends to look for it and ask them to ask their friends aswell.

A viruswriter should add an EULA to his/her virus.
- You may execute this virus 'as is'.
- We accept no claims of any kind of any or all damage done by this piece of software.
- You are responsible for the consequences of executing this software.
- You are NOT allowed to disassemble the code (DCMA).

Give Bush a chip and I'll run Windows on him...
