The irony is that if you were to ask me if you could copy something of mine and I was to lend it to you, I wouldn't even by liable for contributory copyright infringement. The law simply isn't worded that way.
Speaking of retarded. What part of this don't you understand.
1. You can look at the images with the watermark on them and choose if you want to buy them. 2. When you buy them you get the images without the watermark and the right to distribute them.
Therefore, if you choose to use the image with the watermark, even though you've paid to use them, then you're an idiot.
And significant space solar power is still 20 to 30 years away even if we started now. Care to back that up?
I mean, it's pretty well understood and developed technology here. Fundamentally, space solar power is an engineering problem and not even a very hard one, not a scientific problem. In fact, some people claim that it's not even an engineering problem.. it's a political problem.
Point is, for the billions of dollars they are being poured into fusion research, without even the promise of a commercial reactor in the next 50 years, we could have solar power plants running next year.
since the first serious calculations were done to determine the feasibility of orbital solar power plants. The results *then* indicated that it was the only economically feasible way to supply the world's future energy needs. Since then, both space and solar cell technology has improved dramatically. Meanwhile, billions of dollars is being sunk into fusion research and there's no expectation that a clean fusion reactor will be developed in the next 50 years.
hehe.. I have been known to use windows calculator under Wine.

So, err, just so I've got this right.. you're applying app specific patches to Wine to get it to work and then when you upgrade you're reapplying all those patches and finding that some of them don't apply anymore?
Ya know, Wine uses this revision control system that some Finnish guy wrote.. it's really good at helping you maintain a fork with your changes in it if that's what you want to do. I think it's called "git" or something.:)

Wine isn't an app.
What are you running under Wine when this happens?
Took me a while to get the last app I tried going too. One of the biggest problems was the lack of support for signatures in crypt32.. which co-incidentally this release fixes:)
Nah, it means that if North Korea makes some UAVs to deliver, say, nerve toxins and sells em to terrorists the terrorists can call up these guys at the open source project and ask nicely for them to sue North Korea if they don't provide source code to their modifications of the GPL software..... and that has got to be the most absurd thing I've ever written.
1. he can do the same search and come up with the same official sounding bullshit 2. he's not offering to answer questions, in fact, he's saying he can't answer questions 3. he's saying he's an expert and we should all just take what he (hasn't) got to say at face value
oh, and if your network is secure then you should *welcome* people to test it. Otherwise you're just blowing smoke.
I'm confused, who are you calling the troll, him or me?
See, this kinda pisses me off. Someone says "no no, you should listen to me, I do this for a living" and someone else replies "well who the fuck are you? Where do you work? How do I know you're not just speaking shit?" and the original person insists that you should listen to them even though they are not willing to even volunteer their email address let alone their name or where they work.
It's pretty simple, unless you're willing to say who you are, you can't claim to be an expert and expect people to just take your word for it.
Says you. The great thing about these kinds of arguments is that *no-one* is qualified to say whether or not it is possible, because no-one tests this stuff. And, if anything, that was the message of the film.

My guess would be that the point of the watermark is to shame people who are copying the image without permission.

Whatever, they're all standover men.
To be fair, you can install all the apps that exist for the Mac in a day.
Like every bouncer at a nightclub who asks to see my ID, sir, I could kiss you right now.

If you want pointless, use PuTTY under Wine.

Have you filed a bug report?

I should write a tutorial or something.
The fact that they have 5 major improvements every 14 days is kinda impressive.
But yes, good point.
Werd. Then take that gun and overthrow your corrupt ass governments and demand liberty!
hehe.. good luck.

Seeing as you've opted to make yourself pseudo-anonymous, I can't confirm anything you're saying.
