I dont think this is the case, as Ive been getting these sorts of emails for at least 3 years (looking back at the spam archive I keep to train from) - random blocks of legible text, blocks of psuedo english (words are correct but theres no effort at sentence structure), even jokes on their own. I got intrigued by this about 6 months ago and wrote a few scripts to see if it was just a broken spam client forgetting to add the payload, but your average 'with payload' spam doesnt seem to match these emails, theres practically no similiar 'with payload' spams in my archive with these blocks of text.
I always wrote it off as baysian filter poisoning.
It entirely depends how the codebase is constructed, considering that the VPC codebase has only recently become Microsofts and that there were TWO (2) different VPC products in the first place anyway (VPC with emulation for OSX and VPC with virtualisation for Windows), who knows WHAT the state of the internals are like on each, its probable that the two werent maintained in a compatable way - there would be a world of difference in the virtualisation engine for the different platforms. With two other companies already entering the arena, one with a saleable product at the moment and one fairly far down the path to having one, does it work out financially viable for MS to make the time and money investment?
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time.
Unless Apple relent, a virtualisation solution by a third party is not an 'Apple-labeled computer'. Anyone care to test this in a court of law? Thought not.
I can replace all the GNU utilities in a Linux system with functionally similair tools from other projects - however, the GNU kernel is practically unusable. Its simply a matter of convenience that the GNU tools are used, but I guess that should be acknowledged as well.
AP arent 'putting a fence' around anything, the 'news' still exists in a format available to anyone willing to experience it. AP simply add their own value to their interpretation of events and sell that, theres nothing stopping you from getting that same news from other sources or straight from the original source.
The way Ive always seen it is businesses wont go the 'support' route because it entails producing two 'products' - the product to give away, and the support product. Of course you have the potential of people competing with you for those support contracts on your own product, so why not make some money on that end as well?
Agreed, also the tech in the Greg Mandell series is impressively 'likely' as well - spaceplanes, gigaconducter/capacitor, electron compression weapons. I was very entertained by the Commonwealth saga as well.
Full circle? Hardly, I remember there being a hooha about Win 98 beta testers who paid (I think) $19.99 for a copy not getting discounts on the final release. So this isnt new.
Wireless does not imply an internet connection - Ive set up a couple of wireless networks for friends where they either have dialup or no connection at all, is their existence tehrefor pointless according to your standards?
Connecting and being issued the gateway address is akin to being invited in and shown the location of the phone - until I give you permission to make the call, you are sod out of luck.
And radio broadcasts are accepted by teh FAA regulations as not necessarily limited in area of usage.
When I invite you into my home after you knock on my door, my phone has no restrictions which stop you from making a call - are you therefor justified in making a call to any number you wish while Im out of the room? How about raiding my fridge?
I let you into my house, you dont automatically have permission to use my telephone to call your aunt in China. You can connect to my wifi but nothing short of written or spoken permission from myself gives you leave to use my internet connection.
I routinely try all the various WMs around on my 'play' box, and I routinely find myself disappointed. Dont get me wrong, they all work fine but its the little things that disappoint me - the redraw problems, stuff not laid out in sensible manners, windows not large enough for contents. Its the little things that take the sense of professionalism away.
I value free software, but I dont value it enough to switch because it doesnt do the job for me as well as nonfree software in the general realm of complete OS with GUI. Thats why I use OSX. Free software is not the holy grail, the fix of fixes, the end of the universe - its a means to an end.
If the other party/parties can convince a judge that a contract was likely to be in effect, the judge will rule in favour of the contract. Its the same with anything, you can claim a written contract was either never signed by you or changed after the event - bits of paper are easy to come about. The crux is in convincing the judge.
All property 'rights' are a government granted privilege, not rights. Laws are what protects your car when you park it in a carpark. Laws are what protects your house when you leave it to go to work. Laws. Just the same as copyright.
Dont assume theres any difference in the artificiality of any of them.
There is a clause in the license forbidding it from being installed on 'non Apple branded hardware'. Plus the PPC version of OSX doesnt give you a license to run the Intel version of OSX (different products), so the current retail versions of OSX are not a valid source of licenses for OSX on Intel.

Yes, VPC runs on Windows, but how similiar is the Windows and OSX codebase? Not very.
It was a deliberate statistics set release by AOL meant to be used in studies.
The OSX License says the following:

There is plenty of scope for MS to produce an antivirus product that doesnt have to rely on deliberate and planned insecurity.

Contracts made over the phone are 99.9% of the time subject to voice recording, and thus a record of the contract exists.
If the other party/parties can convince a judge that a contract was likely to be in effect, the judge will rule in favour of the contract. Its the same with anything, you can claim a written contract was either never signed by you or changed after the event - bits of paper are easy to come about. The crux is in convincing the judge.
Verbal contracts are legal and binding in the UK, you dont have to sign anything for there to be a contract in existence.

Endeavour was built from spare parts, those no longer exist in the quantities required for a complete build of a new vehicle.

It can do, your admins arent doing a good job :) Even without SUS there are many third party tools to do this (Zenworks comes to mind).
