I bought a legal copy of xp pro from a local retail store.. its cd key clearly visible through the transparent wrapping. No they didn't have a box, "that's all there is" they told me.
Go go gadget car analogy.. This is like saying a car company isn't liable for faulty brakes in case of an accident where the car is driven by someone who stole the car. The victim of faulty brakes isn't always the driver.
- Obsolesence - in 15, or 50 years I can give my books to my daughter or grandkids, and they'll be able to read them all or sell them to someone else to read [hopefully not:) ]. There's a good chance that the ebook I buy today won't be readable in 5 years let alone 50.
-Granpaa my neural interface won't connect to this book, it's broken -No honey, this is one of the old books, you have to read it with your eyes -What? Really? How do I know how each letter looks like?
The reason is, on a PC you use up more bandwidth: you play MMOs , download movies, use p2p. So while you pay for 5g of data, you only use a fraction of it on the iphone and that's big money to them.
Plan: Make an app thet eats up all your allowed bandwidth (you input it) at the end of the month (it can add a calendar entry to remind you to run it that day) just by sending random data to places. We can set it up to find a legal torrent, store random chunks of it and then serve them. Open up as many connections as it can too and put the pinch on the ciscos at the other end. That way, you tethering prohibition ceases to be of an advantage to the carrier. If enough people use it.. Though I think it wins the "most likely to be blocked by AppStore" award.
I knew that bitten apple logo meant something the minute I saw it.. but I said "naaah, it can't be". I mean, they made Microsoft look good by comparison!
1) Make a site where everyone in Canada can karaoke into and sing whatever they want, or upload their garage band songs. however badly (bring on the Thrash yodling).
2) Have the EULA of the site say the uploader releases his revenue via the iPod Fee to the site.
3) Make said songs available for ipod download.
4) Go to the Canadian Private Copying Collectivem and demand the percentage of the fee your users represent.. if there are 10.000 artists and you have 10.000 users, you should get half.
5) Profit.

Since you promise in a legally binding contract (TOS) not to do it, it can be illegal. I know TOS has probably never been enforced like this before for a game so there's no legal precedence but it could happen if the trial goes well enough.
And then the guy who kept his porn in the disk comes along and goes "Nooo my preciousssssss. Nasty adminses stole it! Said datas were sensssitivesss. But I'll get you back, my precioussss."
Sorry, that south park episode is to blame.
If they already knew the material was illegal with enough certainty they should have used that in court and never needed the encryption key. In the shed analogy, is there a separate offense to not give the key to the police, after they supply you with a warrant, in case they can't physically enter it? And I wonder what happens if you really don't HAVE the key any more, and in the analogy if someone actually forgets or on purpose destroys the encryption keys.
That can't be helped unless they figure out a way to stop someone from hiring their nephew to grind the isk and train the skills, What they did is made it more difficult for professionals to be employed and make money from it.
600-650M may be made in 15 hours but it's at least 2 years worth of skill training for the skills and ISK gathering for the equipment. So while they take 3 days to make you're actually cashing in your previous long term investment.
The trouble is, while bad credit record can mean lack of any of these skills, it can also mean:
1) Your house cought on fire
2) Health problems prevented you from working
3) Some script kiddie generated your credit card number and charged you his new PS3 and a ton of porn.
4) Any of those things happened some time ago, but your bad credit record has prevented you from working since

I mean the CAKE is a lie, not what you said
(I thought of making an obscure reference but I'm not risking a misunderstanding)
I tried that, but then I realized it's a lie.
Just use this
Dark Helmet: That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
later
President Skroob: That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.
Can I start with the lain jokes yet?
Maybe they should stop offering XP licenses then. (So what if it makes some room in the market for ubuntu netbook remix)

Isn't it really impossible to buy a laptop without an OS? Isn't windows the only OS you can buy with 90% of the laptops?
