Abandonware is a complete fiction anyway. There is no legal basis for it. Unless the original copyright holder places the work in public domain it is not "abandoned".
I wonder how Hotels get their computers if no-one would ship to them. I would think you could do it if the Hotel agreed to sign for it. Just don't put the address as room ???. "Export controls" (did you mean Bureau of Industry and Security?) is not going to prosecute anybody since there is nothing to say that a person staying at a hotel is not from this country.
And if you go to CompUSA or something why customs ever questions somebody going through with a laptop. I would imagine that people traveling with a laptop all the time. I would recommend buying a laptop bag, though. A desktop still in the Dell box I could see being a problem.
I actually specified in another post that I meant a 5 yr who is a baseball fan. Obviously finding a 5 yr old in Cambodia who knows the baseball schedule would be pretty difficult. Notice I didn't say any 5 yr old or all 5 yr olds. I am also not a 5 yr old so claiming that they would know would not be ethnocentric of me. I would have to be a member of that group to be considered ethnocentric.
My biggest complaint with quicktime is that it bugs you every time you open it to upgrade to Pro and like real it throws itself into my systray.
I know use alternatives to both Real and QT (available here) but I haven't tested them that thoroughly to recommend them to everybody. They use classic media player with added codecs which loads up in a quarter of the time and doesn't put crap everywhere.
Wow. Talk about ethnocentric. Your country doesn't know baseball which means that most of the world doesn't. Well I have to tell you that baseball is huge in Latin America and most of Asia. Just because it never caught on in YOUR Europe doesn't mean it isn't popular elsewhere. And they say that Americans are self centered.
Preseason is meaningless on anything but the player level. Standings and team stats mean nothing. It is all about whether so and so is healthy, whether he stayed in shape over the off-season, finding out who is going to start, seeing what talent there is in the minors, etc.
They don't show you a copy of the contract but if it says Season and doesn't specifically say pre-season or spring training then Real has no case. The baseball "season" doesn't start until The Yankees play Tampa Bay in Tokyo on March 30th. I think even a 5 year old could tell you that.
Apple is inventive and Microsoft is innovative. Apple comes up with new ideas while Microsoft takes ideas and modifies them. Sometimes they improve them and sometimes they make them worse.
By the way, anybody who modded me as flamebait obviously didn't read my entire post. I was praising Linux not condemning it. When it comes to servers the added bells and whistles are useless. All we (as a Linux server admin) need is a stable and secure base. If I want a GUI then I will install X but I sure as hell don't need a Media Player on my server.
Linux is free to big companies? Boy that comes as news to me. Last I checked most big companies pay for the Enterprise versions and support contracts. They also have to hire individuals specifically to work in Linux. I can tell you that most of their Windows admins would have a hard time even getting a directory listing in Linux (why doesn't this damn "dir" command work). I am not saying that TCO for Linux is hire than Windows but it sure as hell ain't free (as in beer).
I'd hate to sound Anti-Linux (because I am not) but I don't think anybody could call it inventive or innovative. It is pretty much following the lead of Microsoft and Apple when it comes to GUI and UNIX everywhere else.
The analogy is that instead of adding useless features that don't belong on a server in the first place Linux is focusing on providing a stable and secure environment.
What does "worked on LOADS more" mean? Do you mean that more people work on the development of Linux or do you mean that more people use Linux? Either way, they are making the point that Linux is going the underdog but by going the slow but steady route while Microsoft is rushing out tons of useless bells and whistles while ignoring security and stability.
It doesn't matter. Being a member of a community doesn't make you a criminal. It is only the act that is illegal. What happens when somebody accuses the Linux community of being made up entirely of malicous script kiddies?
People can fantasize, write about and even simulate necrophilia all they want. It is when they go from fantasy to reality that the problem exists. I would imagine that a lot of these communities actually discourage the truly sick because it attracts undo attention to what is just a harmless fantasy. Some people fantasize about wielding a sword and slaying Orc and Goblins but they don't do it in real life (at least hopefully not).
One can believe in God and not believe in organized religion. Organized religion, especially Christianity, in this country has about as much to do with God as Golf has to do with exercise. It is there peripherally but it isn't the main component. It is about control, power, money, manipulation, etc. I believe in strict separation of church from state where the President even mentioning Christ or God in a speech would be grounds for impeachment. Our country should not be governed by relgiously based morals.
As for morals - where do you get yours from? I get mine by deciding what I think is best for society as a whole. I am pro-choice, pro genetic engineering/human cloning, pro-nudity, and pro-prostitution. I am against smoking, though.
I am no Panthers fan but I hardly considered the Super Bowl a funeral. It was one big party. I actually missed the exposing, though, because I was watching the equally deplorable lingerie bowl (which had no nudity).
What do you consider modest apparel? A loin cloth is pretty damn modest to me. Good job finding a responsible quote though.
There is no scientific evidence that what you say is true. There is no way of proving that providing child porn to a child molestor makes them anymore likely to rape children. Either way, I am not advocating allowing child porn sites to exist. Please don't misunderstand me on that point. I am saying that talking about pedophilia is not committing a crime.
Who said I was an atheist? And atheists typically have higher moral standards because they believe in them without having the fear of eternal punishment hanging over them. I don't care who you are, though, I cannot understand how a female breast is indecent. You can put a big, fat, disgusting guy on TV and have him show his man-tits all night long and there is no problem but a female tit for two seconds is a disaster. Explain that to me and I will go quietly. If you are Christian then show me were in the bible it says that baring a breast is wrong.
I believe strictly in individual responsibility. If you go out and rape somebody because somebody else told you to do it then you have a greater sickness than any censoring can prevent.
I see no problem with either of those situations. People will find the information one way or another and they are not going to stop their attempts if they don't. Censoring sites such as these only treats one symptom and does nothing to treat the disease. If anything it may even inflame the disease.
If only it were that simple. If that were the case then a fine (as called for by the regulations) would have sufficed. Now we have Senate hearings, a crackdown on all forms of "indecency" on TV and on the radio, and an all around panic in the entertainment industry. Someday I hope we will be free of this religous yoke that is holding us down and we can be free.
There is a big difference between committing an illegal act and talking about it. A site with pedophilia is committing an illegal act. A site that talks about Pedophilia is not. Same goes for necrophilia. If there are pictures of people having sex with indisputably dead people (and not made up actors) then it is illegal. If they only talk about it it is not illegal.
People will do this whether there are sites or not. You are among the same deluded crowd that thinks violent movies creates killers, that Janet Jackson's breast will create rapists, and that using Linux makes you a communist.
You would no sooner go into a morgue to get fresh human food then you would pick up 3 day old racoon off of the road to eat. Haven't you watched Six Feet Under and seen what they do to corpses.
And are you to judge what is acting like a "retard" and what isn't. Perhaps wasting your time on a site like this is acting like a retard and should be banned?
So did the guy who strangled the person decide to do it after visiting the necrophilia website or did he visit the website because he was already into necrophilia? I am not a big expert of necrophilia but somehow I don't think it is something you see a picture of and go - oh I liked to do that, let me go murder somebody.
trimester means approximately three months and is actually 3 periods of the moon. Using in the business context when it is never used as such is a mistake. You will never hear a company refer to its first quarter as trimester 1.

I didn't mean that everybody knew but that a 5 yr old who knows of baseball can tell you the difference between the regular season and the preseason.
