I can only blame the people that voted for those who allow it.
who is that? you're angry at john hancock and ben franklin? you're like an anti-tea-partier, raging against the founding fathers? how's that working out for you?
well, that's why push email is better than webmail. you get an alert immediately when you get a message, instead of logging in occasionally. Imagine if you had to log in to check if you got any text messages?
well, I was hoping for a specific example of abandoned DRM. you did not provide one. Thinking a little broadly, I came up with one. Remember LucasArts X-Wing? best game ever. at launch you had to type in a code from a random page of the manual, to prove that the software is yours. At one point I lost the manual, and was temporarily SOL. I asked for a new manual and they sent one to me. Crisis averted!
you asked for examples of goog privacy violations. there you go. my safari was set (by me) for a specific privacy setting, but goog exploited HTML hacks to get around this setting.
No, the TFS is a really bad example of a valid concern. The software / publisher in the TFS is just ripping people off. The argument in this thread over license vs. own is what happens after several years. Sosume said that most of his licensed software doesn't work anymore, which says that it stopped working over the passage of time. I'm asking for a frinstance.
wrong. when you address me directly, you are speaking to me and thus you must respect my wishes for the terms of our engagement. doesn't matter if we're out in public or not. to do otherwise is a violation of my personal space and can be considered verbal assault.
please provide an example of software that no longer works. i bet in fact it is your fault, because you got rid of the computer / OS that worked with the software, and instead purchased a computer / OS that is not compatible. whose fault is that?
Everything you mentioned above is an actual product, not a license to use the product....which nobody in their right mind would buy if they had a real alternative.
isn't that what car leases are all about? they are very popular.
This is a joke, right? Going for +1 funny? First off, from an objective perspective, office 2007 is tenfold better than 2003, and 2010 even more so. Second, comparing ppt to xls doesn't even make sense. So maybe you should get off your high horse and stop treating others like idiots.
Jebus you thnk people are real idiots, don't you? I can't imagine being married to you. Everybody in my work group uses office for some seriously tricked out documents and spreadsheets, and we all get by jut fine. 95% of time is spent on content creation, and we can share and edit group docs with no problem. We're not all fucking retards just because we prefer a GUI to a command line.
i read the rtf a, and think that maybe this dude is right. OK, he obv didn't invent computer - to - computer communication, but if he invented all the concepts of current email systems - to, from, cc, bcc, subject line, "re:" convention, inbox, outbox, sent box - then maybe he does deserve the claim "inventor of EMAIL".
If you accepted a G+ account, and opt-in to targeted ads, then left the browser settings to block it, you are violating the terms of service. It's that easy.
bahahahahaha. So now if I block Google's cookies, I'm violating their TOS? Slap the cuffs on me! This flame war is boring me, because you're being purposefully obtuse. or maybe you're trolling me, but it's a slow-burn troll.

glad you liked it. who won?
so are you calling the parent a liar, because his real life experiences are contrary to "what you would think"? that's an asshole thing to do.

Didn't even slow down that insider who lost .5 billion for Credit Swisse.
I bet it didn't slow down hurricane katrina or the craigslist killer either. relevance deficiency?

for instance? it could also be software that explodes, but i can't think of an example of that.
since no one is within several hundred feet of me at the moment
:( lonely?
I have every right to freedom of speech, within the bounds of the rules set up for this private space
then maybe you should read the /. TOS about harassment, then decide if your "rights" are exceeding the bounds for this private space.
Also, maybe you have these "rights" in the America, but those rights stop at the border, and you're violating my own rights in my home country.

100% of your comment posts are goog fanboi bs. don't talk to me anymore.
[Your} reading comprehension skills [appear] to be just as lacking.
way to go ad hominem, fucker. I see you're acceding to my arguments, since you no longer try to refute them.
yo dawg, i hear you like marketplaces, so I put a marketplace up in your marketplace so you can shop while you shop. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=yo+dawg&qpvt=yo+dawg&FORM=IGRE
IE9 is awesome. on par with the other browsers.
they hacked my safari to steal my data against my explicit decisions for them not to do so.
e.g. pptx > ppt > xlsx > xls

dude, you're a super douche bag. why can't you accept that goog is teh evilz?
and keeps presenting BS analogies that don't remotely fit the situation.
that's what ur mom said.
