Yea because its not like a cable company spends money to provide service, its 100% income. Having worked for $cable_company I can tell you that it cost money to provide that service and when you **enter into a contract** with them trying to subvert it for free PPV is stealing.
People can rationalize it all they want but stealing money by breaking a contract is not okay because you did not take the source of the video.
The company did nothing wroing here and I would love to see the look on some poor bastards face who get a bill with all that p0rn having to tell his wife.
Yes I know its the whole *nix world, I mentioned Linux because most commercial Unix platforms have the type of system in place MS has and the parent of my origional post was talking about how it makes MS better than Linux.
Of course I will test, but the testing almost always takes less time because it does not break other services. When we had to patch windows to avoid all the SQL server crap a while back it broke the damn server, so in testing there is going to be more tweaking involved than one might have with a typical Linux patch..
And of all updates for a Linux server what % of them are Kernel and require a reboot? as compared to Windows which almost all updates require a reboot.
1) umm, I got a mail from redhat about this same as I get something from MS.
2) I think you worry about crackers knowing not hackers, hackers fix problems like this. Also as anyone in a production environment knows just because MS does not publish it does not mean that people dont know before they have a fix. Also the time to deploy a MS patch in production is much longer due to shutdowns and testing.
3) As opposed to almost *ALL* MS updates which requres a restart of every server in your company Woo Hoo!
4) ???
5) Profit
As their French I am supprised they are actually *fighting* to stay in buisness, god one would think they would have ran up the white flag along time ago..
I personally think we should help out Afganistan, all I am saying is we do give more money to middle eastern countries (even excluding Isreal) than any other nation on earth, even more than other muslim nations.
And while we were feeding Germany we could feed Italy, and Japan (which by the way was not poor, starving, or dumb when they invaded China in the 30's. Sometimes there are situations you just have to stomp out. I wish we lived in a world with pixie's, and world peace but it is not going to happen in my life time.
I think int correct to say Quartz will be less affected, as its resonance range is not unity, and (I may be mistaken) the RMS voltage difference will affect it..
and Clinton in 92 (in which he got a minority if the minority), in in 96 when he got just 50% of the minority. Dont talk like it does not cut both ways..
doesn't anyone ever think that killing people in order to tell other people not to kill is a bit odd?
So instead of fighting Hitler in WW2 we should have just sent him Food, Books, and $?
if one wishes to rid the world of terrorism, one should focus on promoting human rights, promoting fair access to education, ending world hunger and ending the huge gap in wealth that currently exists. we need to focus on being sustaineable locally so we don't have to worry about fighting for resources a half a world away.
How do you promote human right in a country that kills women for working, learning, being in public without a man, or showing too much of your face? You cant be that obtouse, can you? As for wealth Saudi Arabia is a very wealthy nation why are they not picking up the slack in that part of the world? The world tried an embargo against the taliban it did not work.
this is a pre-emptive strike, and it's against international law.
Preemptive like Iraqs invasion of Kuait?
whatever the fuck. teh u.s. is only giving $300 million to afghanistan. think that's enough? you're wrong. think they'll be getting money next year? probably not.
Yea damn the US for only giving 300$ dollars directly in a time when we are about to go to war and face a deficit at home, damn us for suplimenting the new governemnt over there with soldiers that cost more $, damn us for trying to stay as much out of the new govt was as we can. How much money has France and Germany given to Afganistan, they are not poor nations. I will put what the US has given to nations over the years (Both out Wealth and our Blood) compared to europe any day.
Look you have high ideals and I respect that but we live in the real world, God willing we will not fire a shot in Iraq as the mere threat (a real threat not a UN resolution) has forced them to do more in the past 4 months than the 12 years before. History has shown us time and time again that there are times you need to fight, the french spilled blood in their own streets in their revolution, and Americans/Brits/Canadians/Aussies spilt their blood to liberate france in WW2.
Slashdot Mirror
Why not I have seen more than a dozen 'Bush is a moron'/'America sucks' post modded up...
Easy but not right..
When your serceive is set up did you bother to read what you were putting you signature on?
and the fact that they know people are stealing makes it ok to do it yourself.
And every time a PPV is sent the cable company is missing $$ they have to give to the provider of their service.
I hear New Zeland is nice...
LOL some guy trys to buy something to steal a service and now he its blackmail that he got caught and has to pay..
