No. There is no way to purchase that license. Some of the developers are dead, and there are a lot of smaller devs that contributed enough lines that you'd have to track them down.
I find a shredder will rip the discs into the proper number of pieces. No matter how much you like the band, you can't enjoy their music on your terms...so don't.
FTFA: "No one has ever removed his or her name from consideration for a job due to the request, Sullivan added." Then they're getting exactly what they asked for. Considering that users will hand out their passwords for a chocolate bar, this sort of line doesn't scare me much any more. Is that sad or am I just bitter?
If pressed, I would consider handing out the *wrong* passwords, though; when they come back saying they couldn't log in, I'd alert it to the sites in question as a TOS violation, employment discrimination, etc..
If you're going to be in harsh environments, get your hands on a hardened machine for communications. (Video editing...that's another story).
You could get your hands on an OLPC XO and install Xubuntu on an SD card (there's a specific build of 8.10 called XOBuntu if you want it). It's not fast--but for basic communications the battery life is very long and it's quite rugged. That and anything that puts out 11-25v will charge the thing.
Having a friend that bought a Dell Studio (before they went to selling Ubuntu on Inspiron only)...
It ships with Fluendo and Power DVD Linux installed.
My friend immediately went to medibuntu and installed all the free equivalents--he paid for the licenses after all. He then then chmod 000'd all the powerdvd stuff.
"The critic has gripes with sound. He should buy another sound card that supports Linux."
I have a Creative SoundBlaster Live! (Value) in my current desktop.
It's an emu10k1 chipset--lauded by the FSF as one of the most supported pieces of sound hardware you can get, last time I checked. So yeah...another sound card that supports Linux? NTYTYVM.
I'm endlessly frustrated by the volume settings--I want to only turn on microphone volume when I'm recording or using Ekiga or Mumble or something else like that, and I *still* haven't found the correct settings that allow me to turn on and off the audio in one click.
"Mute input" doesn't seem to work when you have four or five possible "devices" in volume control to fiddle with; and it also seems to reset the volume to 0...
I'll just set the kill bit on this and everything else you write.
Someone wants to protect their work to this extent should try publishing it in the a public building's unlit basement behind a locked door marked "beware of leopard".
You have a right to demand to protect your work, and I have a right to respect that right...and to go further and treat your work as if it does not exist.
(You won't be able to tell if I'm being sarcastic or not, because I would have set my sarcasm level equal to yours, but that'd be a violation of your copyright...so I will simply leave it undefined.)
Unless it's one known for its ability to work on various and sundry drives (as opposed to identical ones), and probably built into whatever OS OP is running...don't recommend softraid.
Controller card/motherboard goes, or enough drives go and all his data's gone.
It ceases to amaze me that a torrent site attempts to go legal and all I see comment-wise is a bunch of whines and complaints that Mininova will die.
I've realized in the last few years that I actually agree with people's ability to exercise their copyrights--and if I don't agree with the terms they set out for use of their content...I don't consume it.
I don't find alternate ways of obtaining it, I don't talk about it, and I definitely don't buy it. I'll use an alternative that is legal, or go without. It doesn't exist to me.
If everything on a torrent site was legal I'd be browsing that for quite some time.
Reminds me. I need to hit up Project Gutenberg for more books; Opsound for more music; et cetera. Those who WANT me to consume their content and are willing to show up to the table with terms I can stand...that's what I want to consume.
My brother and in-laws remain untouched, although I do have a "refuge" box stashed at the in-laws for when I didn't bring a laptop and need an available machine.
All this talk about positive externalities and encouraging large numbers of people to do something might be better served by the government requiring higher minimum security standards for operating systems and charge pigouvian taxes to software makers who don't meet those standards.
Sadly this only works in the ideal world.
Lobbyists would destroy it (to the point where Windows 95 would pass) and the only people who would be hurt would be Free Software authors and SMBs who don't have enough representation.
FWIW most ISPs offer "free" anti-virus; most of the time it's McAffee or Norton. That and really virus scanners are a bandaid to poor security.
They're effectively a blacklist (with some mostly ineffective greylist heuristics), and blacklists aren't really useful against continual new threats.

Read the blog post from one of the devs.
That and Ubuntu does its own recompile...they make changes. It's not Mozilla's build.

Reality bumped the price by $100. :)
I did that once, made myself and my then-fiancee.
Sim-me spent the days wandering around seeking human interaction (mostly from Sim-fiancee) while she was really busy.
Then real fiancee went away to school in the Caribbean and pretty much dropped all contact; I saw her twice in a year and a half.*
I don't play the Sims anymore. It's like a virtual ouija board.
(So I started dating someone else...who is now my wife.)
"Don't trust the skull."
NDA never mentioned talking about the meeting. Palm just got some major pucker factor.
It's because his app doesn't respect parental control settings.
Still kinda stupid.
Linking to libraries means you have to follow the license--whatever that license is.
Plenty of proprietary binary-only software exists on Linux that makes "normal" syscalls (as per Linus' definition)
Using GNU utilities means you have to play by the GPL.
Using a proprietary toolkit means you have to play by that license, whether it's per-unit royalties or staying off of certain platforms.
You don't like the GPL? Don't use libraries licensed under it.
Free Software also means Freedom NOT to use/build again the software--but it's quite all or nothing in that respect.
There was a donation made to the FSF from Cisco as part of the settlement.
Betcha "attorney's fees" were what that was for...
One that isn't installed.
But how deep in the bush are you going to be?

gNewSense deltah (think Ubuntu 8.04).
pl-2303 is very supported. FutureDial cables for cell phones typically use them.

for the lack of proper install CDs. Apparently they thought it was a copyright infringement vector.
Most new digital cameras are PTP these days, which simplifies support in every operating system.
Only trouble is going to be the older ones, and the oldest camera I could find was a Kodak...and Kodak were the first to use PTP. :)
Printers...I'll concede that one for now. Lexmarks are in general paperweights, and everyone I talk to seems to have one.
I haven't seen a HP printer* that doesn't work, or any that speak Postscript fail to function.
* Haven't run into any HP that require binary firmware.
I converted my parents to Ubuntu. Dad loves it. :)
My brother and in-laws remain untouched, although I do have a "refuge" box stashed at the in-laws for when I didn't bring a laptop and need an available machine.
Most libertarians try to shield themselves from the negative influence of the outside world (as it applies to their freedoms).
After all a secure computer system is pretty much a prerequisite for high levels of privacy.
Going to have to agree with that.

Oasis and ODF committees would rather get it right than have something busted and broken like competing suites.
