great speech, from someone who has never used cedega. linux HAS the best video drivers, with as many or more features as the windows counterparts (for my nvidia cards at least). for performance lag, thats on a game by game basis. linux native games (savage, ut2004, every single ID game) run faster in linux almost 100% of the time. SOME windows games run faster (WoW being a prime example). most windows games run slightly slower on the graphical end, but almost every single windows game runs faster on the computational end, because the cedega emulation of various windows system calls such as disk access and paging are faster.
Try it. Seriously, I am on good terms with a few software stores here so I have first/second hand experience with the system and have had to use the chargeback method on more than one occasion. Various store policies prevent them from accepting the returned product even after I have done a chargeback.
At one point in time people running macros and scripts (controlling their characters) to produce game-money were almost as prevalent as the sweatshops. Sadly I was stuck on a sub-par internet connection at the time, and not old enough to move out on my own, but I made about $10000/mo for just shy of 8 months running a pair of computers playing Everquest for me while I slept. Today the sweatshops have taken over, but once upon a time it wasnt so.
He purchased a copy, which he could not use. He attempted to return it (I assume) and was rejected (which is illegal in most states). He reversed the charge according to his cardholder agreement, which the merchant agreed to when they established their merchant account. At this point he has not broken the law and is in possession of a copy of the game, and there is no law against him playing a game that he has a copy of.
Where is the piracy? He never made a copy illegally. He never distributed his copy or other copies illegally.
The problem is that thousands of people bought HL2 and cannot play often, because of the Steam requirement. When they try to take the game back to (insert software store here) they wont be getting a refund, unless they happen to know to take a copy of the UCC with them.
Uhm, make the PIN a hundred bits or so (a 20 letter password), and limit the system to one guess per hour (extreme overkill, make it one per second if you want). In a few billion years when they guess right... you just have to physically go to the 'finger card' company and change your password.
No, the eye was used for "secure" installations like a prison. The "code" was a chip in everyone's hands (think RFID implant), and was used for routine transactions.
Probably because you are redetecting all of your hardware every time you boot FC2, which is like the very first time you boot a new Windows XP machine. If you properly configured your box this would not be an issue, I have numerous linux machines that give me an X login window within 30 seconds of power button. As to hibernate, have you compared this to the same option in linux?
I have had good experiences with ix Web Hosting since I started hosting my domains with them. The only real 24/7 tech support that I have found, with nice american (as in, not indians speaking engrish) techs the few times I have had a problem with site configuration.
youre going to stand in your kitchen surfing the web when you could do it at your desk a room or two away? chatting... maybe, but wheres the clicking in that? emailing, again, very little clicking. i dont think this is meant to be an office computer. its for the chef to use, no more.
Where "fixed" is defined as: A work is ''fixed'' in a tangible medium of expression when its embodiment in a copy or phonorecord, by or under the authority of the author, is sufficiently permanent or stable to permit it to be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated for a period of more than transitory duration. A work consisting of sounds, images, or both, that are being transmitted, is ''fixed'' for purposes of this title if a fixation of the work is being made simultaneously with its transmission."
bold added. this is the provision that makes "copies" in RAM while running the program legal.
gorilla arm is not an issue in this application. he wants to use it for TV, thats maybe two taps to turn it on, one or two to change channels, thats it. then for recipe browsing, assume an alphabetical index, thats maybe two or three taps to get to any particular recipe. an average of 2 taps, probably every 10-20 minutes tops. not even close to a gorilla arm candidate.

I think this is the way of the future with regards to encryption. You cant crack what you cant find.
The same way they handle the 6+ month delays in ALL their projects :-p
err, it wouldnt have to be "3 strikes and youre out", it would be "3 strikes FROM THE SAME MERCHANT and you cant use that merchant for a week"

if EA's employees unionized I imagine they would find themselves looking for new jobs very quickly as their positions were outsourced.

ok, i got 2/3... who are the little tiny bugs for?
then, by definition, "X" is your signature.
DarkBasic is an excellent language to begin with. There are a LOT of examples to work from, and it is aimed at beginners.
