It's the software's fault that it autoupdated in such a way to corrupt itself when the power went out. If you're going to be a dick, at least write decent code.
So you basically want incontrovertible proof that this passage hasn't been open in 400 years? Sounds more like you don't want to deal with the implications. It's prefectly reasonable, given what we know about the climate, to say that the northwest passage hasn't been navigable in all of human history - until now.
And that would cause the computer to leave the house.
That'll show 'em! Seriously, that level of monitoring displays nothing more than a lack of trust. The education angle that others have brought up is far more effective and doesn't make your kids resent you. It's not like porn is wrong - it's just something that should be done in moderation.
Doesn't count until a judge rules on it. The EULA shows up after sale and there's no credible way to return the product.
Conclusion: no, you do not have first sale doctrine rights.
Prove it.
You therefore agree that Microsoft may, in conjunction with such license, also download revocation lists onto your computer on behalf of Secure Content Owners....
Seems like a lot of work to convict him of 'conspiracy to commit terrorism overseas', which probably won't stand up due to his treatment before the conviction.
Everybody's got a vested interest in something; that alone doesn't really invalidate the story. That said, you could go dig up the FBI's report on the polygraph and its inventor, as well as look up why the guy who runs the antipolygraph site started it in the first place.
As for the whole taint thing, sure the site is biased - so what? I've been there before and the evidence presented about the polygraph is reasonably well supported by cites and I haven't ever seen anyone able to counter the assertion that they're mostly voodoo. Furthermore, the point of the story is that a court admitted polygraph results, which is, as far as I know, unprecedented.
What's so tainted about the source? Or are you one of those people who now demands equal time for any opposition views under the assumption that things are never black and white?
O.08 is a noticeable impairment, and when driving it is a serious issue.
It's minor according to all research I've found.
But you have to draw the line at some point.
Okay, let's draw it at.12, where it was in the first place. The great majority of drunk driving fatalities and chronic DD behavior occurs above that level. You may as well concentrate on the part that's the big problem.
It seems to me that there would be relatively fixed ratio of blood alcohol:mouth alcohol.
It varies between 1300 and 3000 from person to person
It also seems to me that bread in your teeth wouldn't hold a huge amount of alcohol, and it would flash off relatively quickly anyway
It behaves more like a capacitor. The amounts are minute, but enough to seriously impact a breathalyzer.
Finally, diabetics may register 0.03 sober, but why?
I dunno why, but they produce mouth vapors that can be mistaken for alcohol by these gadgets (their breath tends on the sweet side) with no corresponding BAC.

I don't know about that. It seems that the industrial revolution is directly (as direct as climate impact gets) responsible for the icemelt.

I assume that you understand the difference between your dad doing this and the gub doing it.
Becuase power cords and ethernet cables are hard to come by.
yeah, but you didn't have tubgirl.
That's an invitation to find the grossest thing possible (flayed penis, anyone?) and leave it up on the screen.
Your claim is that a sentence in an EULA is automatically legal. That isn't supported by anything, so no, you didn't prove it.
And I already proved my point by citing the EULA and pointing to the fact that by installing the product you agree to it
No you didn't. Just because something is in an EULA doesn't make it real. Also, good luck returning the software that you've already opened.
From the EULA:

Sounds like piracy is the better value prop.
The courts have said the same is true for software.
Have they really? Please provide a cite for consumer software (not custom stuff that gets negotiated beforehand).
You can argue that copyright should trump contract, but that's not how the law has worked so far.
They sell software like they sell CDs, so I would expect the doctrine of first sale to apply.
Perhaps you were looking at the HE versions - same speed, less power = lower power bills.

If McCain endorsed torture, then he's worthless. Torture is never justified - it's a horrible abuse and not even reliable.

A measured amount of thermite should do the trick. Of course, the other trick is to make it work without burning the house down.

Damn trekkies, go read a book.
So, how do you identify this company and what do you know of their, um, identity?
Sorry about Howard. We've got bush.
That's different - mugabe is an incompetent tool and once someone goes off and shoots him, it'll be possible to be a farmer there again.

Unless he's in DC, where they like to pop people for .02. Never mind that that effectively drops the bar for diabetics by about .03.
