The argument that it's not free is a little invalid. Unless microsoft was selling an IE free version of windows (that sounds vaguely familiar) then the consumer has to pay for IE regardless of wheather they want to use it or not, therefore, even though microsoft adds the cost to windows, it's still free as far as someone who has to purchase windows is concerned.
For the people that use a bundeled version of IE, at least as they see it, buying windows isn't a choice, it's a necesity. For all the nice gui config tools these days, linux distros are still generally harder to configure than windows (at least in my experience).
That one isn't a dupe. The guy mad 2 cases. The first was > 6 months ago and was on the front page. Valve then commisioned him to do another HL2 mod for their official demo machine. That post from a month ago is that second case, and so I this one I think.
Regardless, this story is a dupe, and a bad one since themonth old one had all the step by step comentary.
If you brought software, then you would have the rite to copy, modify and distribute as you like.
All the software you "buy" is actually buying a licence to use it. The licence is normally transferable (you can resell it as long as you don't keep a copy). The same applies to books CD's paintings, basically any kind of intelectual property, but in those cases the licence is more standard, so you don't read a EULA every time. You can read the book, you can resell it, but you can't publish your own edition.
Perhaps I read it wrong, but it seemed to me you only needed to use their "annonamous" proxy if you want to. All the rest could be done through a direct connection or any other proxy you wanted.
I think you're missing the point. It's almost as hard to stop someone aking a hard copy or a CD of my medical records across the border as it is to stop them being sent over the internet.
The point is, that if it is illegal to export personal data, then it becomes much harder for "reputable" companies to get away dealing with off shore companies that have "smuggled" the data out.
Ahh, but that's not a good anology. A plumber may not know how to fix a pick up truck, but they sure as hell know how to use (IE drive) it.
Someone who is using a computer for work on a daily basis should know how to use the computer properly. That includes the likes of typing an email address without mis-spellings (or checking it to find them) most of the time.

I my experience as a customer, the average loss is 0 because stores round to the nerest 5 cents.. they round up and down
Just because they don't hate AOL doesn't mean they should.. Wile this is better than Xbox Live in that they can communicate with people on other systems, it is still proprietoray.. You have to be an AOL subscriber.. If they opened the API and AOL hapened to step in then this would be a good thing.
Isn't the reason they stoped developing X because nobody was able to keep up, still don't think We've fully caught up to X11R6. Why do we need another graphical alternative??
I pay for upload bandwidth every time someone downloads off me. Why should they be any different, incedentally I'm not sugegsting the university pick up the tab, students should be charged for their internet usage if this is not already the case (It is a my university).
Yay lets all encourage leaching... If your are going to download you should cotribute somthing to the network. If everyone decided to not share anything so as to reduse their bandwidthe there would be nothing on any of the P2P networks.
I have to agree with you on this one. Regardless of weather he is right or not IMHO the mail was SPAM even though it was non-comercial (by the same token I consider mass political emails to be spam, as did a lot of slashdot recently). I'm affraid that If Itel looses it will further open the floodgates on spam.

I'm guessing that they didn't caclulate it, but rather downloaded the first 1.7 digits from some online data source.
By link to the source, they don't mean the source vode, but rather the data source

It's funny that every other reply missed the key word.

Who needs the stock exchange. Any street market where haggling is involved is covered by this patent.
Now that is a patent I would like to see.

I do have the box in front of me (Collectors Edition) and it doesn't say anything of the sort.
Filtering the water before making the coffee certainly does. I suspect that filtering after making the coffee would filter out a lot of good stuff.
That said, if you drink your coffee with milk or sugar it realy isn't going to be a noticible improvement
...and that all programmers know how to program.
Yes, well.....

Why do they need a port for AMD.. AMD chips still run the x86 command set don't they??
or has it just been optimised for AMD processors?

Canada actually has more fossile fules than the Middle east. The tar sands are however high in sulphur so they cannot be processed easily.

I'm giving the RIAA ideas...
<scream>nooooooooo</scream>
On a more serious note I dont think that will ever be a major problem as most P2P apps allow you to limit your upload bandwidth.
The worst are those that appear to share but cancel any downloads you begin.
Yay lets all encourage leaching... If your are going to download you should cotribute somthing to the network. If everyone decided to not share anything so as to reduse their bandwidthe there would be nothing on any of the P2P networks.
