Is printed matter analog or digital? Or does it depend how it is copied? If I scan it, it is digital. If I use an older copier to copy it, is it analog?
If enough people complained to Sony and stopped buying their products, they would likely change this policy. But as many people have said, the vast majority either are ignorant of this or simply don't care.
Begin able to show proof that you cracked, or helped crack, the Java verifier would be a excellent addon to your resume.
I know. I was just thinking of that recent thing reported in/. about a contest in Romania, I believe it was, where the winner got 1000 German beers. As in Free Beer.
An RPC-4000. Picture here: http://home.att.net/~lgaska/images/rpc-4000.jpg If memory serves me correct, it had 4096 words of rotating drum meemory. Paper tape or Flexowriter input. It was great.
I would do some serious searching to find out exactly what was patented. So far, nothing I read about this case makes any sense about a patentable process. But I am naive at times.
Thousands and thousands of programmers are employed trying to display the right time and date in internationally used programs. Make it too easy and those programmers will have to get real jobs.
I have 4 spyware detectors/eliminators and 1 anti-virus program. I update them all frequently and run them all at least every other day.
I would love to not have to do all this, but it is necessary. Unfortunately, even if sypware is eliminated from the US, it will continue and probarly increase from elsewhere.
Lots of them. As someome else pointed out, there is a big difference between normal wear and having it self-destruct soon after purchase. If it does, one usueally has some legal recourse via the lemon laws. Or if it happens frequently with a particular model, it is recalled.
Yes, it may well be unintentional, but MS is certainly running a protection racket. If your local mob extorts money from businesses lest they get an unwelcome visit by enforcers, that is a protection raacket. Pay money or your business will suffer losses.
If you bought a car and then had to pay extra to keep it from falling apart, you might have some real problems with that.

Usenet is a treasure trove of pictures of naked ladies (or men if that is your taste) and all sorts of porn.

I can't fold my laptop and take it to the crapper with me.

No cold hard cash or equivalent for "cracking the verifier?"
I guess it could lead to more pay in some cases.
To have students push beer or Jack Daniels or one of my other favorite adult beverages.
I wonder if Victoria's Secret is going after the tranny market?
I host my own blog using WordPress on my own domain. No problems with getting slashdotted as it is only linked from a quite obscure site.
.txt file using Notepad on my standalone laptop.
Come to think of it, I might was well blog to a
It will be a minor miracle if the state of Washington does something similar.
One of my favorite computer stories of all time is "The Story of Mel."

The best Mel quote is:
"If a program can't rewrite its own code," he asked, "what good is it?"

Yes, I am older than dirt.
I wonder if any of the Obfuscated C Code was ever folded into commercial products? Or mission critical enterprise applications?

You do it by choice.
Use any other OS and it won't happen.
People lived in New Orleans by choice. They could have lived somewhere else. If they had, a lot of them would not be dead now.

Have you ever owned a car?

No, I am not a real MS basher.
I am not sure when open source really was born, but it sure seems like it came of age pretty fast. Not too shabby, eh?
Someone is a newbie and has no idea what a troll really is.
I think this was smart for MSN, but not Yahoo. If I am missng something, let me know.
I use email. I look at it when I want, I delete it if I am not interested in answering it, I answer it when I want.
Of course no one ever wants to communicate with me anyway. Beer is my only friend and it doesn't do the 'net.
Yahoo anymore.
We all know that a good tinfoil hat will prevent such addictions, but ONLY if properly grounded.
