It all depends on the particular license vendor. In the case of Microsoft you can even sell the software on eBay, as long as you provide all the accompanying documentation and original discs etc. Microsoft only prevents this on versions specifically marked "Non-transferrable".
check your EULA.
Talk to any non-techie - they're being confused themselves by AMD's unique clock rating/model numbering system for their CPUs. I know someone that bought a 2.4 chip, onyl to be informed later it's actually 2G.
"Simply carpet bomb the entire country and finish it with a few well placed nukes....blah blah"
wow - thank you so much for your helpful advice. I'm sure we're all more enlightened for it.
A 12 year old could come up with a better "we could just blast them into... " rant, and they'd probably throw in some cool machine gun noises - you know, like from Terminator 3, dude.
Now what did mummy say about staying up late?
what is the point? I admire their effort, but trying to copy each shot....it's like cover bands who do exact note-for-note renditions of their favourite heros. Admirable, but what exactly was their goal?
Microsoft just demoed that

Note the similarity with Mozillas recent admission that it's becoming difficult to maintain a coherent, focussed development path - coders move on, people get day jobs. Now the Mozilla people are focussing on ensuring proper peer review strcutures are in place for code review. As they say, nothing in life is free. Will these pressures force more open source projects to be reevaluated?
>>It's a radio show that's covering this story, so why the hell would they want pictures? The website you are looking at is the web-presence of the radio show, and isn't supposed to be anything more.
WRONG! Because it's on the Web. what's the point of putting it online in ANOTHER MEDIUM if there's no pic?
Many service providers ar enow moving into licensed spectrum, that is not subject to the same interference issues. You pay big bucks to buy this spectrum, but the payoff is the ability to offer quality services.
Still, 802.11 is so attractive cost and bandwidth wise that despite these big business movements, Wi-Fi just isn't going away. Possible solutions will involve arbitration mechanisms to solve disoutes like this. In Australia, wi-Fi vendors have even suggested people must register or get a license for Wi-Fi gear - all the info goes on a node database so it's easier to track who's where and solve disputes. There's a million reasons it mightn't work, but these are the things being discussed.
"The only thing that blows goats about console FPS is the frigging multiplayer- for some reason game designers think it's a good idea to split the screen into quadrants, rather than push the idea of linking several systems together "
Come on - have a think about it....
You'd think FPs's wouldn't work on consoles, but they can.
Anyone ever played 4-player Timesplitters on PS2? Sure, you're using those clunky gamepads, but it's great fun. Also Perfect Dark - those games show FPs's can work on consoles. Even the my-aim-is-ultra-accurate-using-a-mouse crowd seem to love them.
Actually you might be wrong. Timesplitters is on PS2 and it's really good for multiplayer. I'm not sure about sales (you may be right there), but it's a quality shooter.
Yeah ok, it's not the same as an FPS like Doom, but it's still vaguely the same type of game. It's "fpsish" as you put it.
This is a point raised by many armchair industry watchers, but this misses the point. By losing the 32 bit stuff, Itanium chip designers are no longer constrained by "legacy" technology. The Itanium specs are far more solid than anything from AMD - we are talking scalability, caches, memory capacity etc.
Intel chips are "inferior" to those from AMD? - I think you'd find many in the business world (which is where these chips will initially be aimed - not at Quake players), would be completely puzzled by that statement.

Has anyone seen links to the new tech? Does Thomson and Fraunhofer have extra detail about the work they are doing? Send in the links!
Does it? the site says: "Dell does not officially support running Linux on Dell desktops. "
I don't know about this particular case though...I'm just talking generally - just thought I'd add that : )

I'm just guessing, but it's probably because he owns the script rights - or something similar.
