The iTunesMS knows if your client is authorised to play the music attached to that account, and a client isnt authorised until you explicitly request it to be (off a menu) or you purchase something through your account using that client. Setting up a iTunesMS account does not explicitly authorise that client. If you have no clients authorised, and you are purchasing stuff through iTuneMS then they can detect it.
Ok:) There are two types of BSD license, one with the advertising clause and one without. The vast majority of BSD licensed code is under the no advertising clause license, because the advertising clause was rescinded by the Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the University of California on July 22 1999.
All that the official BSD license requests you do these days is the following:
Retain the copyright notice, disclaimer and list of conditions within the source code
Include the copyright notice, disclaimer and list of conditions within the documentation if any.
Not use the authors name, organisation name or names of contributors in any advertising without prior written permission
Note that clause 2 IS NOT the advertising clause, that origionally required you to include a certain statement within any advertising done for products which included the licensed code.
They arent Mountains, they are names related to Ski Resorts (Whistler is a Skiing town, Blackcombe is a ski resort, Longhorn is a bar at the foot of a slope at Whistler).
Im sorry, but that just sounds exactly like the FUD we hear about Linux and the GPL, and is one of the reasons I investigated TC for myself and came to the conclusion that RMS just isnt worth listening to most of the time.
Whilst the French might not have fought much in France, "we" the Allies certainly did....
Why is it that France is often singled out for their collapse when faced with unsermountable odds against a fantastically greater force, when there were 5 or 6 other countries in BOTH World Wars that were taken much more easily than France was? Even the British Expiditionary Force couldnt keep the Germans back, it wasnt until more fronts were opened up with the USSR and in Africa etc that Fortress Europe was weakened from the inside enough to successfully attack.
I hope it wasnt coder recoded - its badly programmed. The function gidle() is missing a HELL of a lot of closing braces for all the if statements in there, basically they just all run off the end of the function, which may be acceptable but it looks freaking auwfull.
I saw this a week or so ago, and the first thing what wandered through my mind was not 'They are going to get sued' but 'So this is the OEM version of the Shuffle eh?'.
There has been a lot of speculation that Apple never designed the Shuffle but bought it in from outside, guess we will find out if and when Apple sue over it.
According to the official reports, the tyres had bolts from the car taped to the inside wall about halfway up, so it would cause the type to move uphill.

There is a current case going on about three UK bankers who US prosecutors are trying to take to court in the US over possible fraud charges - 'illegally gaining money via international banking systems'. The 'offences' were committed in the UK, and consist of 'making $7m after allegedly defrauding former employer Greenwich NatWest, the capital markets division of NatWest, by secretly investing in an "off-balance sheet" Enron partnership'.
The British Financial Services Authority, Natwest, and the British Serious Fraud Office have chosen not to take any action against the bankers because no crime occured according to UK law. All of the witnesses, evidence and materials to do with the case reside in the UK, the alledged fraud was committed against a British bank, by British citizens, in Britain. The alledged fraud was not against Enron, and did not contribute to the downfall of the company in any way.
The US are seeking to extridite the bankers under legislation passed in 2004 to specifically help speed up extradition of terrorist suspects. Nice eh?
Microsoft doesnt charge a different Windows OEM price based on if the OEM wants to ship with alternative OSes, it just removes the option of OEM licenses altogether. This is perfectly legal (you are afterall allowed to not renew agreements as you feel fit and the OEM is free to purchase off the shelf at the same rates as anyone else) and isnt covered under this case at all.
Simple example. Company A makes 100,000 computers, and uses Intel for 50,000 and AMD for 50,000. They should be charged the exact same rate as Company B, which makes only 50,000 computers but uses Intel for all of them.
Close but no. Intel shouldnt charge Company A the same as Company B for the same 50,000 units. Intel *should* charge Company A the same for those 50,000 units as they would if they didnt know about the 50,000 AMD units. Bit of a difference.
Intel is well within its rights to charge Company A and Company B different prices, but NOT for certain anticompetative reasons. Its the same as Intel refusing someone business - they can refuse anyone business but NOT for reasons like race, gender etc.
But I as the blogger don't have any responsability to protect your NDA.
Actually, you do. Go read the Uniform Trade Secrets Act if you think otherwise. If there is a distinct possibility that the knowledge you are receiving is a protected secret (and in the Apple case, it was 99% certain because everything is under NDA anyway), and you receive it anyway and act on or publish said information, you have breached the UTSA and can be punished.
Anyway, the Apple court had absolutely nothing at all about the 'blogger' protecting the NDA, Apple was suing for the name of his source, you know - the person who actually broke the NDA. If the thinksecret guy hadnt refused to hand the name over, he wouldnt be in court at this moment - Apple arent after him, they are after the person who leaked the information.
Slightly different - NTFS is more like Ext3 than WinFS is, being that both NTFS and Ext3 are journelled filesystems. WinFS sits ontop of a standard NTFS filesystem, and stores metadata for objects stored on the filesystem. For example, all of your photos currently sit on your filesystem in a flat format - you arrange them in a filesystem tree based on date taken, location, project etc etc and they each have some meta data of their own, such as camera type, resolution and such.
WinFS will allow you to add more meta data to those images, storing the Location, Date taken etc information right there with the image, rather than in the filesystem tree. This allows you to get rid of folders altogether, and have a situation more similiar to the labels system in Gmail - a photo can now be in several 'folders', eg location, resolution, project, allowing you to group dissimiliar items together without having to maintain seperate copies of an item, or symlinks etc.
This way you can submit a search saying 'ok, give me all items to do with last years holiday' which could return stuff like all the emails you had with the travel company, all your bookmarks you made when looking for the holiday, the photos you took while on holiday etc.
Yup, pretty sure. Both me and a colleague have run into this when using XP Home, and its governed by the server. If the Windows server discovers that you are connecting from a XP Home system, it will disallow any access to accounts other than the Guest one. As I said, Samba isnt affected - you can connect to a samba server as normal.
Nope, XP Home takes fixed IP addresses as well. There are only two things it cannot do to my knowledge - join a domain (as others have pointed out) and connect to network shares on other windows systems as something other than the Guest account (but it works fine for samba).
If you dont need either of these two things, XP Home is as good as XP Pro.

When you signed in, when you signed out, when you became idle, when you became busy etc etc.
and they fixed. Kudos to AOL for this one. Now, if only they could do more about the spammers on their network...

As far as I know, its all done inhouse. I can doublecheck for you if you want - drop me an email and Ill get back to you when I find out.

You might want to mention that Valgrind is Linux only, if you are on anything else, including *BSD or OSX then Valgrind is useless.
You can change your socks.

ie: they're already the de-facto standard in a market that's 2 months old.
The flash player market is only 2 months old? Pretty sure the flash player market has been around for 5 or 6 years!
