Any American company providing these kinds of services to an oppressive regime like Iran, China, North Korea, or what have you should have its corporate officers clapped in irons and dragged to The Hague. Once there, they should be sentenced to death for crimes against humanity and hanged. Slowly, like the Nazi officers hanged at Nuremburg. Before being hanged, though, they should be stripped of their American citizenship.
Get a calculator, figure the odds. More likely, there will be controls on raw materials that could be used to produce weapons or infringe patents. Think this is far-fetched? I remember when kids could get chemistry sets with real chemicals. Try doing that now.
Because the potentially increased price from the higher exposure an auction will receive on eBay, where most of the buyers are, is greater than the eBay fees that would be saved by using Yahoo auctions.

Yep -- I stopped reading after the first time that happened to me. Followed a link someone sent me once after that and being assulted by an interstital ad, I now don't visit at all.
Actually, it's so far been its nightmare come true. Many an effort to redact information or remove something embarrassing from corporate, government, and news websites has been foiled by the IA. For example, a page related to a plagiarism controversy local to me was conveniently pulled from where it was hosted, but remained on the IA--foiling the effort to suppress the ability to compare the infringing text.
. . . are pwned and don't care. Talent replied with a boilerplate about RealID weeks after it was too late. Bond hasn't replied to anything I've ever sent. Obviously, Bond has enough money from big business to not even pretend to listen.
All I can do is vote for whoever's running against each of them as a protest next time around, but I won't waste my breath expressing my concerns anymore.
The use of a copiable token is stupid, as you point out. Visa and MasterCard agreed on a protocol called "Secure Electronic Transaction" that does indeed use PK cryptography, in 1996. Apparently they decided it was cheaper to let their customers bear the cost and hassle of dealing with the fraud in the existing system.
Follow the money. Find out who's receiving the payments, extradite them if they're outside the U.S., slap them in irons, put them on trial, and off to pound-me-in-the-ass prison. This sort of problem won't be solved without a credible deterrent.
That was probably done because of the "Windows Refund" people who demanded a refund for their OEM preinstalled copies after refusing the EULA. Now they can say "Sure, here's your dollar" and back it up with an invoice. Of course, good luck buying it separately for $1.

Turning the other cheek doesn't work in the real world, dumbass.
Precisely. I kind of hope they're holding him in secret right now and torturing him, but keeping him quite alive.
LOL, did it.
They need to make it available for download, without charge, and without DRM. That, or they need to stop taking tax dollars and donations.
I was thinking Ronald Reagan would be making a run in '08, actually.
I would be just fine with that, actually.

So in other words, there is a price on human life, but we just don't admit it outright.
Please. Comparing racial intimidation to warning the public that someone, by their own behavior, is in their midst?

Pleast post pix, thanks :).

I had forgotten that they explicitly didn't support BeOS. QEMU should probably work though, and might be worth a try. Thanks!
Does it run under VMware?
Um, yeah, I'm sure that comes up a lot :).

That's why it's OK for them to have cameras in the mens room watching you take a dump.
