the problem is, when people take the "fuck DRM i'll download a copy instead" you send the wrong message: What the company sees is that sales aren't down due to DRM, they're down due to software piracy.
I think generally a lot of people think it's a crass or redneck type of display in the states too.
There are just far more people who think it's acceptable as well.
And no one would dream of saying anything critical of someone with two flag bumper stickers and little flags affixed to the windows of their car, because that'd be unpatriotic damnit/rolleyes
One common thing I noticed on resumes of younger IT candidates was the '18 month bounce'. The string of jobs they list all had right around 18 month durations. Which is just enough time to get familiar enough with a technology/process and put it on your resume before hunting for a new job.
Or the time around which you start to realize that the people you're with suck in a variety of ways, or that you aren't doing something you enjoy, or your skills are stagnating because you keep doing the same thing over and over...
The publishers hate the used textbook market, and they do anything they can to kill it off (e.g., a new edition of a calculus textbook every 2-3 years), so there's no question in my mind that they'd use DRM to eliminate it.
I think college bookstores would try to kill it almost as much as publishers, if not more. They get to profit on the same book twice when they act as an intermediary for used books. (Precisely why I always resold mine as a private transaction when possible)
the last time i upgraded iTunes it was on the list along with iTunes and Quicktime and checked by default. Apple is certainly still trying and seems to be hoping that people will install it by mistake by neglecting to uncheck it.
Does onboard sound not put a strain on the CPU anymore? I recall that being the case with onboard 5.1/7.1 the last time i was shopping for hardware.
There's also EAX/EAX2 compatibility, I have no idea whether onboard can do the environmental stuff Creative has managed to get wedged into so many newer games. I never realized how much I had become used to environmental effects until my attempted creative replacement totally failed to emulate EAX (Xonar D2X)
Fair point about bandwidth capping, but filesharing can crap up a standard linksys wireless router pretty handily from what I've seen, even if the actual internet connection isn't saturated.
Not to mention the effects of whatever cyber-STDs his computer might be harboring.
I waited till today and still got to burn an hour and a half standing in line.
The problem at least in the process I witnessed is in how voter 'sign in' is handled. Think being split up based on what letter your last name starts with just like when you go to get your schedule at school.
Now for each of 5 or so sections of names there is *one* person doing lookups in a record book. Except when one person is gone to take a smoke, then you wait, or else hope the next poll worker will grab the book and sign you in.
It's retardedly slow, especially when (as i saw) you happen to have six people come in with last names that all start with the same letter. So one lady has a line of six people, and the other sign in stations are sitting empty.
In case you haven't ever noticed, the market value of personal use of a piece of media is nothing like the cost of permission to distribute it.
Go look at what a pro photographer charges for prints, and then ask him what it would cost to get unlimited rights to distribute even one of his photos. It will be a big number.
This was not always the case; prior to (i think) the 3G release it was possible to buy an iPhone directly from apple without agreeing to anything provider related.

Dude i watched football just yesterday and there weren't any cards, just these flaggy things that got thrown down every so often. ;)

In that case you should care for them until springtime ;)
a nice comfy mason jar and some sticks, and the odd cricket will do nicely
So catch them and take them outside. It's not at all difficult.
Perhaps you should work more on sealing your house to outsiders instead of killing the ones that wander in.
Depending on the size and type of the spider, there might not be much of a husk left.

Index? How about full text searching across all of the books on the device. I think this trumps your index by miles, no?
No. While your search is still running I will likely have found what I wanted in a book's index.

Most of us don't have offices with windows :(
Apparently they got internet there now.
I'm amazed it took this long for someone to make this comment.
It's for reasons like this I have not had an AV app auto-delete "hits" in YEARS.

also Joe the college student/wage slave or any of the other Joes that can't afford internet or don't want to pay for it.
Thirded. Best expression ever.
That "agree with me or else" attitude is by no means unique to the 'pubs. It's a characteristic of almost anyone with a "party" affiliation IME>

"Hacker" means something else.
No, it doesn't. Language changes.

You can't buy an iPhone without a contract.
This was not always the case; prior to (i think) the 3G release it was possible to buy an iPhone directly from apple without agreeing to anything provider related.
Would this be the case in a system where the encryption software seems to do something (brief loading/splash screen) just before windows boots?
In the implementation I saw like that, I assumed that the windows logon was the "password"
13. I go first? Great.
I put on my robe and wizard hat.
-she should have seen to it 5 years earlier that every person who needed legal representation had legal representation;
Ray,
I am, admittedly, not very well versed in legal proceedings, so I ask: How is it within the judge's power/ability to take care of something like this?
