So what your saying is I don't own any of the software on my computer, i just have a license to use it the way they deem fit? And if it would be wrong to violate their EULA? Forexample writing negative reviews on certain software because its implicity stated in the EULA? Or benchmarking the software as stated in the Microsoft.Net software? Or what about the spyware EULAs that say I can't run a AdAware to remove the software? Whats scary is if we keep up this attitude, we won't own anything, everything will be licensed to us. So businesses can lock us into their monolopy and limit our freedom of choice.
Yeah reasonable like being able to sell the music your purchase, or running on any other device besides an ipod. Thats fair and reasonable. If apple goes bankrupt, there will be no way for me to get my music onto another computer,ala all those guys who bought DIVX movies. Thats very fair. I love all these post supporting apple, but when Napster gets cracked there was not one highly modded post saying what the guys did was wrong. You apple fan boys are a bunch of hyprocrites.
Apple isn't loosing any money if I remove the DRM off an itunes song. Nor is it a copyright violation since no artwork was copied. A closer analogy would be apple saying "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO OPEN YOUR IPOD EVEN THOUGH YOU OWN IT". Or Microsoft saying "YOU CAN ONLY INSTALL MICROSOFT CERTIFIED APPLICATIONS ON YOUR SYSTEM".
I payed Apple for the song, I should be free to do what I want with it. Which is why the DMCA is such garbage. Modifiying stuff that I own should not be illegal. I'm not committing copyright infringement, i'm paying the money to the people who produce/own/distribute the art. Please don't tell what I can or can't do with stuff I purchased.
Yup GTA horse is dead, thats why the last version was the highest grossing game ever made and the best selling game in the last 10 years. If they released it for gamecube and xbox, it would easily move to number on their sales charts. No one wants fun games, we've all grown up(well most of us). The market is 20 to 30 year olds. Hence PSX2 dominance of the market, and xbox beating out nintendo. Slashbotters really have a weird sense of reality when it comes to marketing and what sells. I guess thats why this is the place for news for nerds and not marketers.
"Don't forget the Administrator password. I had to do a reinstall because I forgot it. Luckily, I hadn't transferred any info at the time."
uh.. Theres tons of utilities that you can install onto a bootable disk or cd that can reset the password. Unless you did something stupid like setup ntfs encryption.
Umm Contractors get paid more money then I make and while i'm slaving away working 60+ hours because i'm salaried exempt. The contractors get paid for their OT.
You forgot to mention the Pentium M will smoke a G4 anyday of the week when comparing by clock cycle. So not only do you get a higher mhz, but pentium m is doing more work per clock cycle. Seti numbers for processors. So in your comparision, the wintel laptop is easily double the speed of the apple laptop.
You can also can get 8600 inspiron(15.5 wide screen) for $1400 fully loaded with 1680x1050 screen, they have higher resolution screen upgrade but its plain stupid for 15.5.
Guess you don't remember when Apple had greater than 10% market share back in the early 90s. Back then we had tons of viruses like nvir and wdef. Now are numbers have dwindled to less than 3%. I haven't seen a virus after system 7.6.
$20 to $30 to print a book? You gotta to be kidding. 0.10 a cents page? For that price I could go down to Kinkos and color photocopy it for cheaper and thats more than 4 colors. Those textboxes are probably $5 to $7 to produce. At $130 retail price, the professor is probably taking half or $50. My freshman calc class probably had 500 people in it, and there were 3 classes a day. 1500 students a semester, 3000 a year. $150,000 a year. Not bad for changing the questions every other year, so people have to buy a new book in order to complete the assignments. And I'm willing to bet the professor didn't even write questions but paid some grad student min wage to do it.
Firefox growth is declining Some people I know that switched to firefox switched back to IE mainly because firefox is somewhat unstable and a memory hog. I still use firefox because of tabbed browsing, and if IE gets tabbed browsing I'll probably switch back. Having my web browser use 200 megs of ram is just insane.
We had same issue. We forgot about one of our linux boxes that was on the public network, and someone exploited sshd and rooted the box. Admins were only actively patching the nt boxes and complaining how secure unix systems were. It was quite ironic.
SP2 for xp throttles the number outgoing connections because of that reason. Limits you to a low number of "connecting" tcp connections. If you try to go above the limit, an error is raised and connection request is NOT queued.
If roles were reversed and mozilla had 90% of the market, i'd only test my pages in mozilla. BTW, if you haven't noticed, mozilla supports tags that aren't in in w3 spec(ie: blink tag etc). Would you be complaining if I wrote a page that only worked in mozilla? Hell even googles new services use technologies that aren't even in the spec(ie: xml objects).
I'd like to see a decent web interface that works in opera,mozilla, and safari that doesn't include checking to see what browser they are using. Not even google can do it, take a look at all their user_agent checks in their javascript. BTW, how long after maps and gmail came out did it take google to make them compatible with safari and opera? And then compare their budget and man power to a small webshop.
Actually IE makes it very easily for web developers, with 90% of the market, you only need to design for one browser. And the 10% who run opera/mozilla are the ones who usually run ad blocking software, so you can fuck them anyway without any real loss in revenue.
AMD still cheated though, comparing a 2 year old chip to their new chip. If AMD wanted to be fair they would have put their chip against the 760 Banias Chip instead of the outdated 750 chip. They also used CAS4 ram in the Intel laptop and CAS3 ram in the amd laptop. Intel box is running 915GMS chipset, and not PM version. PM version being the high performance version of the centrino chipset.
Would you like to see "Buy great caskets cheap" ads on an email talking about a loved ones funeral? It would be in bad taste.

IE7 Details Emerge
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
"Sources say that IE 7.0 - which is code-named "Rincon," they hear - will be a tabbed browser."
Wonder if Microsoft will pull an Apple and sue Microsoft Watch. Seriously think about it, information on MS products are leaked on to the web everyday.
Interface is nice but doesn't allow people to view their emails offline Ads can be pretty weird at times, sometimes inappropriate. I've been experimenting with their ad logic, sending myself emails that I copy from websites. One thing I noticed if you put funeral in the subject line, you get 0 ads no matter what the content of the email is. I sent myself an letter about struggle of dealing with keeping a pregnancy or not, and got ads for baby related material. Its actually quite fun, just google for content and send it to yourself and check the results.

This is simply amazing slashbotters saying this guy shouldn't be a hero because he violated a EULA click license. Is it april 1st already?

You mean like being able to load them on a device other than an Ipod?

3.5 Floppy is dead. Macs don't have them, Dell's don't come with them in default configuration.

Yet they can afford $400(per the article) for a new computer. Just shows you the morality of people in these 3rd world countries.
Really when I buy RH enterprise edition compared to their desktop version, its exactly the same?

Same reason why companies write software for only windows box. Its called development costs.
