Without explicit language referencing such follow-up action, your one liner certainly seems to allow me to make, sell for 1 cent and thereby distribute copies of the first copy.
My point is that the base logic in these things must, by default, address undesired actions specifically, not by inference. The issue is that they only serve to do two things: 1.) reassure honest users as to the wrong thing 2.) lay a case for the law in the event someone starts distributing copies for a living.
Anyone recall that guy that worked for MS, who took advantage of being able to order zero cost boxes of software, and them made a million reselling? Of course his stupidity got him caught, but the langauge in his contract (do not abuse, yadayadayada), is what allowed him to be cuffed and deloused. The language....that's all that matters when the time comes to knock down the front door. And if the language is too loose or otherwise open for interpretation, John Law won't be too anxious to kick a door....well, not usually.
Google is over rated. Who said they 'completely swapped out'?...that's cute. I'm still not biting.
Right, I don't think it is interesting. There, I've said it twice, once just for your benefit. Not likely to make an AC happy, but someone has to slap 'em around. Don't you have a cereal box to read, or something that needs changing? Jump my shit again and I'll tell your sister.
Sounds like they simply offlined one datasource, and put up another. Can you say...backup? Then, the backup was taken down and the (presumed) original went back online.
I bought my son the 15" Vaio (no burner, but will play DVD's) he wanted last year... they are nice. It was $1400...the deom iBook only cost me a grand (DVD/CD-RW). I like the Viao's, and wouldn't mind having one if I was forced to use Windows on the road. Great color.
I have one of the previous 12" iBooks, (dual USB w/combo drive), and it appears to be one of the best kept stealth business tools around.
I originally headed out to buy a Ti, but this one was put in front of me, and discounted heavily, as it was a floor demo. Big deal, if it didn't work out, I'd just pass it along to a family member. Now, I'm in no hurry to let it go.
The 12" iBook has a form factor that happens to fit my needs exactly. I've had original PB's and Duo's, and felt I knew what I wanted when it came time to go portable, again.
In my case, I wanted a real portable...not something that shouted 'identity crisis'...something that was 1/2 desktop machine and 1/2 laptop, not doing either well. I wanted something to use with my digital cameras (still and movie), while adding as little as possible to the amount of tech bulk in the process. My iBook weighs a bit more than a Ti, but it's smaller, and that was what I really wanted. Performance is great...the screen is bright and it works...and works...and works. Long battery life. Outputs to the TV in the hotel room. Wireless networking in the airport. Burns CD's on demand. Command line if I need it. Nothing like a Unix based notebook to make you feel like you're toteing a tool instead of a wanna-be workstation. I've never thought about using it as a primary machine, but with all it has going for it, I'm sure it would do just fine. As soon as my Mac guy has a demo G4 12" iBook, I'm going to trade up.
...there is no immediate 6 degrees between George Walton Lucas Jr. & Jonathan K. Letterman outside of the ground for the new center. My guess is that the decision to carry the Letterman name forward was symbolic only. No doubt there was pressure from local historical groups to keep it.
I'm curious to know if G.L. is doing virtual battlefield simulations in exchange for the roof over his new venture.
Teach in College? You mean practices like not re-inventing the wheel? We have enough runtimes on hand now. Loading something from MS seems to only please the MS faithful. Windows software on Windows? You mean like Ford gasoline in a Ford Car? Or GE electricity surging into a GE microwave? Or... Your decry is hardly objective. Save me the cup of kool aid...

.net, eh? Swell...and I was so encouraged to see the site using PHP.
The point being why do we need another run time, when we already have more than enough. That is a rhetorical question, so don't bother waving the.net flag in my face, thanks.

I also abuse a'post'rophe's when I speak. Along with ellipses, semi-colons, tildes and hash marks...must drive some people crazy ~ heheheh

:) - Did we cover Mr Letterman for you ok?

more on Jonathan K. Letterman... for the net impaired :) Wow, Rhino...I thought you knew this stuf
In the mid-nineteenth century, the scalpel joined the sword as a tool of modern warfare. Major Jonathan Letterman, after whom the hospital at the Presidio was renamed in 1911, was the medical director of the Army of the Potomac. A founding father of military medicine, Letterman organized forward first-aid stations, mobile field hospitals, and ambulance services for the evacuation of wounded soldiers during the Civil War.
Use the net, Luke...but you must be warned...it can be shocking to learn some of the relationships that lurk in the past... - at the Presidio. You know, the park with the long military history?
That would be "Worldwide Pants Inc." you're thinking of.
"...those interested in trying the preview, (windows only... .net required) can download it here."
Windows only...and requires .net - now tell us again why it didn't use the MS Borg icon? Seems more like it at least deserved the kneepads icon.
...not be an open-source app... = Windows only. ...duh...

And for the record, my box locked up about 30 minutes later....I had to come in from another box and reboot.
got a reply out of you, didn't it...ac's are such easy targets...like cleaning carp that are nailed to a board
