  2. Most shareware these days isn't really shareware on More On Policing Shareware · · Score: 4, Interesting

    IMHO, most stuff marketed as shareware is really demoware.

    If it can't save - It's a demo
    If it pops up excessive nag screens - It's a demo
    If major functionality is locked - It's a demo

  3. Re:So... on New, Flexible CDs Arrive · · Score: 1

    Assuming the 188 m/s figure as accurate.

    188 x 3600 = 676,800 meters/hour
    676,800 / 1000 = 676.8Km/h = 412.9 mph

    Still pretty quick though.

  18. Differences between Software and Music on A Critique of the EFF's Open Audio License · · Score: 1

    The main one is cost. The tools to make software can be had for free, while the same cannot be said for music. Musical instuments cost money, lots of it, and can also be quite maintaince intensive. Also, recordings cost money to make, wether recorded in a studio (Big $$$), or even at home, where a decent setup including mics, monitoring head phones, and software could easily go above $1000, and that's not even including the instruments themselves. I myself have a few guitars, a keyboard, and a few other goodies. Those alone have cost me several thosand dollars. Now, before I get too offtopic, here are my chief problems with this license. It removes ALL rights from the preformer. If I ever make it big, I will probably take the stance of the Grateful Dead. You can distribute concert bootlegs, but NOT official releases. With music issued under the OAL, there is NOTHING to prevent one of our friends at one of the major labels from released OAL music on CD, or rerecording a song by an indie artist with a pop group, and not giving the artist(s) one fuckin' penny. That bothers me. Issuing music under this license would seriously effect a preformers ability to make a living doing what he/she loves, since it removes one's control over their one asset. Now some of you may be saying 'What about live shows?' Well, that involves the purchase of even more expensive equipment, plus travel expenses, etc. I am by no means saying that I agree with how most artists handle their music, but by that same token thing this extreme is just as bad.

  20. Passport - Great idea, iffy implementation. on Microsoft Defends Passport To Privacy Group · · Score: 1

    A web-wide identification service would literally be the best thing to happen to the web. Think about it. When you visit a new site, it will simply prompt you for your desired username, and then gets your info from some central source. Imagine not having to remember passwords for a million sites. The key here though is that the central source must be a trustworthy one. Microsoft does NOT fit that criteria. Personally, I think the ideal administrative body would be Verisign, or somebody like that. Someone already in the online security business, or racket if you prefer.
