Are you insane? If that was ever done, all laws would have to make sense. Think of all the incompetent people who would have to leave office and all the lawyers who would be out of a job? It would ruin the economy. Let's never go there again!
I like steam too, because I think it is a fair trade. They get a fairly decent piracy protection and I get a single place to store my games without having to worry about finding a dvd, when I want to play...without having to remember some old obscure license key when I reformat and giving me updates without having to find them myself on some slow-ass site.
So far my only real problem with steam is that some of the older games I have (bought "pre-steam") that are now available on steam can't be added to the steam system.
The problem with many other protection systems, as I see it, is that they hassle the users who buy the game. Those who download a pirated version have no problems and often get a copy that's better than original. Why would they then go buy a copy, that is worse than what they got for free?
That's the smart bit. If your hand is too big to fit in the Pringles can, you should stop eating them. The Pringles Diet....maybe I should write a book or something.
Right you are....I can claim the right to all the land in the U.S., but seeing as I don't have any armed forces at the moment, the claim will sorta have to be put on hold.
In short - a claim is only worth anything, if you can back it up with power or force.
Indeed! The view idea is the way to go. And if fear about queries that overload the system is the problem, then give them access to a replicated server only || limit the time a query can take.
But using views and replication, you will box the users in and only give them access to the data that they need, without putting to much strain on the primary db server. Furthermore a view will allow you to "hide" future changes in your table specs. This can avoid a support nightmare, when suddenly the users sql no longer does what it's suppose to.
Right you are. This is the case of the rest of the world being wrong. Just because a bunch of people have decided to use the SI standard in the wrong way, does not mean that companies should be sued for still using it the right way.
So now kilo now longer means 1000, it just means...somewhere around 1000, depending on what the judge rules.

You not only need to be sure, you need to be HIV-positive...
If anyone ever makes first contact with us, it will to complain about the noise. Not a good start.

How long have you been working at MS? ;-)
Also I want know how the system works, so I can beat it, when I want to send an email. ;-)

I can get the information back from /dev/null. My compression scheme does work. Time to take over the world!
Jeez, it gets worse and worse. First they use a hub, now they are capping the connection.
Yeah, It must be part of the Master Plan that I'm atheist, so who am I to argue.

They'll never defend anything with a hub. At the very least they should get a router. ~
