Take the tin foil hat off. Its a Standard reciprocal license agreement. Notice its the exact rights you get from licensing their patent. So how is this bad? All its saying is that you can use their patent if you grant them access to your patents on caller id.
Wow thats what was happening! I bought my girlfriend a dvd player for her bedroom which has tv/vcr combo and didn't work. I thought it was the tv and I actually went and bought her a new tv. I knew something was weird since the video out on my digital camera worked but the dvd player didn't. I'm sure glad MPAA is looking out for me.

And also,will she leave me for a guy with a more expensive phone?
You know, you're supposed to claim all online purchases on your tax returns anyway. Also, I'd hardly call the 7% sales tax a penalty. It puts alot of money into the state. You don't want your state ending up like California; billions in debt.
Maybe for online intrastate commerce. The constitution cleary states that a state can't levy taxes on interstate commerce. They can ask for you pay taxes on it, but they can't enforce it.
Problem lies that sales people make commission on the warranty sales. So they'll lie their ass off to get sale. I had one guy tell me that with a service warranty I could bring back my digital camera at any time and they'll credit me to a new camera. An absolute lie. Bestbuy should be liable for this, and need to stop paying commissions on the service warranties if they can't control their employees.
Can you please explain to me how this benefits me? BTW, thats a great privacy agreement. No where does it state they won't sell your personal information. IE: Name,address,phone.
Your assumption about not having to retrain is completely wrong. For the technical side of business, I hardly use office, hell on my home computer I don't even have office installed and just use notepad since its good enough to edit my resume. Maybe even use wordpad if I needed to add some text styling.
I was like you and didn't realize people use all that built in crap until I saw a business dev guy creating a excel spreedsheet. He's memorized every hotkey, he doesn't even touch the mouse. I asked where he picked up the skills and he told me that in one of his required MBA classes, he was required to learn excel, including tests that required the user not to use the mouse. I'm simply amazed what people actually do in excel. I've seen sheets that will calculate all the numbers for your business, generate graphs, tell you when your expected to be profitable on growth.
Even with word, most of our business guys have taken courses. Everything has little edit balloons, or someother weird features that I never seen.
Same thing goes with power point, give our business guy 1/2 hour and he'll have a 1 hour presentation done. With crappy little animations the whole works.
Thats what I thought with doom3. So my coworkers and I all pitched in a few a bucks to buy doom. We wanted to see how it run on our dual xeon 3.06 ghz with 1gig of ram workstations. All I have to say it was unplayable with our quatro cards(still worth $300+ aka geforce 3 with line antialias).
My box at home with a radeon9700 and 2.4 ghz P4 creams my workstation. 1024x768 on Medium, I can't even get 640x480 low to run smoothly on our workstations.
I've seen this all applied to public domain works by the government. I've seen the US Census data being sold for up to $750, when you can just download it from their site. I've also seen people selling access to NOAA weather images for a subscription rate of $100 a year. It all comes down to marketing, there's no way a producer of free content can compete against someone selling their stuff on the marketing side.
Dropping incoming packets doesnt make you "invisible". If you were "invisible" and I tried to ping you, I'd get a "destination unreachable" error. If I get timeouts, I know you're there and dropping my packets. If you replied to my pings with "destination unreahables" you might trick me, unless I noticed that the destination unreachable messages were coming from the IP I was pinging (duh!).
I just moved into a new colo and I do have my boxes designed not to reply to ICMP messages. So did your test, on them and got "Requested Timed out". I also have a couple IPs that have no boxes connected to them and did the same thing. And got the same result, "Request Timed Out".
Because somethings don't remain profitable forever. Like being a tape casette manufactor or a floppy disk manufactor.
Board probably sensed there wasn't long term profit in cd burning software arena. Which I don't think is far fetch, since it will probably be incorporated into our OS's.
Not sure about regular calls but for voice mails, since an ivr type service is picking up, it could easily prompt the person to type in a combination of numbers to leave a message something a broadcast program can't easily figure out.
As long as its female only porn. None of this mixed stuff. Its bad enough trying to ignore men in 2D, I sure as hell don't want to see a large penis flying towards me.
Thats why there are vents on the top of your roof and the bottom of the roof. When your roof gets hot, there's nice airflow going on as the colder air is sucked through the bottom vents and exits through the top. If you house is getting hot because of the roof. Your vents could be blocked.
In cold weather, it still wouldn't make sense since it would require you to remove the insulation layer which in turn would cause heat to escape from the house. Only solution I could think of is skylights but unless the insulation factor increases on them dramatically, they'll never have the insulation value of a foot fiberglass.
Problem with disabling it in XP2 is that people actually use it. I know at my last job, IT would use it to notify everyone that the main printer is going down for a toner change and not to print for the next 5 minutes. Or other short term notices
A better solution would have been to allow users to control what protocol it uses and by default its stuck on named pipes preventing dumbasses on the internet from send you notices.
Or the best step is to educate people and teach them to use a fucking firewall for godsake! XP should should come in two editions, "Regular" version and "my admins aren't idiot mcse's" edition.
Not to mention you can't even use the word Olympics any more because its now Trademarked. So if you decide to have your own olympics be prepared to get a cease and desist letter. It also goes for having a "insert random word here" olympics.

Yes there is. Better Emoticons!

Because not all machines have a gig of ram.
Nah its gonna suck because now google has to answer to its investors. How long before it starts to look like MSN, in the name of profit.
Its the radon thats seeping into your parents basement thats more of a concern.

Same reason why MS office will never get released to linux. Its all about control.

That would work but I think scariest moment in Jail is the showers. I don't think it would fly putting a webcam in the showers.
