You can prove that the EULA is not a legally binding contract simply because:
It is illegal to imply acceptance of a change to a contract, and you are unable to waive the right to this by signing it away in a contract. (Ie. they cannot change the EULA any time they like, as they cannot imply that you have accepted the new EULA.) This can render the whole EULA not legally binding, unless they have a clause specifying that if any part is found to be non-binding, the balance still applies. Either way, they cannot change it without your consent and agreement AFTER THE FACT.
And finally, noone is going to alter an established format, if it means that the entire public will have to buy a new dvd-player. People -would- be pissed. And D-VHS is also a new format, if they are going to change format, better to make it a format that is at least half decent.. DivX on DVD would be better than D-VHS.
If you're going to nitpick, do it on something germane to the issue, rather than spouting off a painfully obvious fact that has absolutely no relevance and making yourself look like a retard. Flaming irrelevant posts by "nitpickers" isn't the smartest thing to do. If you're going to flame, do it to someone who actually is nitpicking, and don't nitpick yourself.
at least tape's are protected by the plastic casing. when was the last time a VHS or DAT tape just stopped working for you. Funny you should ask that. Our DAT tapes need to be replaced every couple of months.
*sigh* we were talking about the fact that it wont jump off the rails which is very simple to prevent by locking the wheels in place. you will need enough energy to bend or break the wheels or bars holding the wheels on. Energy required to slow the thing down is not going to have an effect on the thing railjumping as the force should be linear and directly along the rail(s). The thing also is going like 0.09KPH or some such speed anyhow..
I don't quite understand what the difficulty with making sure it can't jump the tracks was. Just make the thing similar to roller coaster tracks. Geez, this isn't exactly rocket science!
I'm not saying it's easy to find a job, even if you are qualified right now, but it's often more of a problem of supply and demand meeting, not least because of floood of "fake" candidates, 20 year old dotcom CEOs, "programmers" who self-taught javascript in 2 days etc. etc..
Are you saying my skills are lacking because I taught myself PHP on a 12 hour plane flight? Or because I taught myself the ins and outs of XML one afternoon at work? Or because I learnt Javascript from a pocket reference? That is exactly why there is a skill shortage, they don't employ people who have a clue but no commercial experience. I can show examples of personal work, but nobody pays any attention:)
I don't get it, what is so difficult? Here is one more time for you slow guys:
The n = 1 case of the generalized conjecture is trivial, the n = 2 case is classical, n = 3 remains open, n = 4 was proved by Freedman (1982) (for which he was awarded the 1986 Fields medal), n = 5 by Zeeman (1961), n = 6 by Stallings (1962), and n >= 7 by Smale in 1961. Smale subsequently extended his proof to include n >= 5.
What if the event of you purchasing those shares triggered off an event where the company in fact went bankrupt and we all went without whatever the hell it is that they do?
Even if you do watermark it with a serial you will have a hell of a time proving that particular user violated fair use. "Oh, no, someone must have hacked the password to my ftp!" etc..

the end is not near you tool.
nobody will put up with the music industry owning their computer. that is such a stupid direction to even THINK we are headed.
you sir, are a fucking tool.

Simple - You say to the RIAA: "Your countries laws are amusing to me. They also hold no jurisdiction here. Have a nice day"

Yes, yes I would. I would like to see the RIAA try to sue me. I would find that quite amusing.

Agreed. I'm amazed at the size hole you just blew in his theory.
*sigh*

I heard that they plan to expand it, and make the first orbiting roller coaster, to rival that guys backyard job.

Why only Amtrak? Are you discounting Russian trains and transport?
I believe the idea is that people will put their pirated windows on (rather than lunix), resulting in a cost saving for them :)

I didn't cut and paste, I copied and typed! Does this make me exempt?
No. No. No.
Their name simply means that everyone who uses the software, thinks it SHOULD be free.

Now what part doesn't make sense? *efg*

The scary thing is that that could well be possible!
Wow, that is a weird thought! Trippy..
Certainly looks as though she is confused and thinks she is batman!
Can somebody please explain to me the benefit of doing this in Python?
I'm not trolling, I just fail to see why they decided to use Python.
