If you are expected to agree to the EULA after "buying" the product - maybe even after downloading,
because you have already "paid" the price of the download (0) plus delivery charges (bandwidth) - then the whole EULA is invalid and an attempt to modify the terms and conditions after the fact. It's not so clear cut if you have to agree to the terms before "buying", but like another poster said, there are certain statutory rights that the vendor cannot force you to sign away.
Problem is, you don't want to stop people from escaping. You want to stop them from getting in. IIRC there was never any real problem to get IN to Alcatraz.
You are, of course, talking complete rubbish. Just because a city pollutes the night sky with stray photons doesn't mean it's full of high-tech wizardry. In fact, if so-called high-tech wizards were as good as they like to think they are, they'd be able to come up with a way to provide sufficient illumination on the ground without lighting up the entire hemisphere in the process.
There is another theory that states that this has already happened.;-)
...SCO will have the right to distribute GPL'ed software...
Except for the linux kernel, because they've been distributing it in contravention of the GPL (adding additional conditions etc.). So if the GPL is valid,
they're dead. And if it isn't, well, they're dead too, because nothing else permits them to distribute it.
Let me get this straight. You went for a smoke and the room was full of pot noodle?
Incidentally, I aquired an old Socket5 mobo a while back that had a K5 plugged into it (Socket7). Result was that the K5 got *extremely* hot very quickly. Oddly enough, both the mobo and the K5 are still working - just not together.
if the thing is powered off, that counts as downtime.
Only in your traditional volatile-memory view of the universe. If the machine can power up and continue from exactly where it left off in response to an external stimulus (keypress, network packet, whatever) in a short enough time, you'd never even notice.
I just set an email to the USPTO complaining about this. I doubt if they'll take any notice, since I'm in Germany, but it's worth a try...
The gist of my complaint was that anyone who has ever owned a digital watch would know that these techniques have been in widespread use for many years.
... simply paste what you've copied first, then delete the old stuff afterwards. It's a small price to pay for the advantages that the X system brings.
For more complicated cut'n'paste operations I find xclipboard useful.

But currently posting from somewhere in the region of Nürnberg airport, which definitely isn't one of London's :) :) :)
You missed Stansted. Also not really London, but then Gatport Airwick and Heathrow are both pretty far out too.
Incidentally, a question for all you lawyer types (you know who you are). Does the RIAA have standing to bring a copyright infringement lawsuit?

I wonder if the inhabitants of Tempel 1 are planning a retaliatory strike?
Only if it were music belonging to (19)50. Music belonging to (19)5x would be fifties' (50s') music
Other way around, I'm afraid. You're saying that "fifty's" is correct, but "fifties" isn't.
Sorry, couldn't resist. So mod me down.
Couldn't help noticing that km/s is a unit of velocity, not of acceleration. Should be 34 kilometers per second per second.

There were easier ways to get into Alcatraz ... ask any of the inmates: they had no trouble. ;-)

I would!

Locking the car, engaging immobilisers and alarms etc. isn't a lot of use if the thief steals the key from your house.

There was a fucking article too? Damn, must've missed it while I was reading about Mimas.
That explains a lot...
Only slightly ;-)
