I would hook the boot HD up to a different computer, extract all the songs onto it and format the drive on the gateway afterwords. Never once did you boot thier install of the OS that has the license agreement. And since they "gave" you the songs on your computer you're free to do what you want with them. I.E. remove DRM and enjoy in OGG format.
It's the same here in Wisconsin. People say they are going to Illinois. They pronouce the S at the end. Some how they seem to think there are a couple of the states south of us with the same name.
The real idea would be to have tracks running into places with naked woman to spy on with the traincam. Just as they notice it chug away down the tracks to the next place.
I myself have been victimized by this. They keep track of what you have bought and returned. If you returned too many things that costs a bit ( The stuff they make commision on ) they will stop selling you anything and have that manager tell you that you can't buy the item. I have had this happen on more than one occasion.
I can assure you that this is totally commision related. The last time they told me NO they looked up my history and said "You return too much stuff". This is what is so bad about tracking your name is now the salesman can check your name to see if your someone he should waste his time on.
While I am glad to see it on news sites, I am sad that they gave in so easily.
What we really need is a HUGE public trial where someone like this stands up against these huge companies. If people keep giving in the "average" people will have no idea how crazy this law is.
I have learned that bullies back down most of the time when they see someone has the courage to stand up and say "No you are not going to tell me what to do" I think these companies would back down also after their lawyers told them that if this goes to court they are not going to win and look really bad to the public.
Actually you are incorrect. If Linux really took off on it the loses would be closer to double that.
They lose around 100$ a unit. Imagine a 100 or 200 unit rendering farm. That's a 10k lose for Microsoft. Multiply this by the amount of cheap businesses that would see this as a viable option.
I don't mean the over zealous FBI.
I mean what "stealing" is a crime and is not. I like how everyone likes to only follow the laws they think they should. If you uncap your modem and get 2 Gigabits and I only get 28 Kilobits then you are STEALING from me. When you take extra bandwidth it comes from somewhere.
Did anyone else notice....

Blogger Hacked
·
· Score: 2, Informative
the diary-x.com link prevented a slashdot-ing with some very simple code. A simple way of preventing your server from crying uncle.
I have often thought of writing a little code that blocks refering domains if they refer too many in a set period of time.
Think about how slow the whole internet would get from this. Not only would the "good" hackers be using a ton of bandwidth but the "bad" hackers would be using even more trying to get even.
* Note the good and bad hacker referance are in the eyes of the bill writers.
WANT TO BUY ILLEGAL DRUGS ONLINE?
Maybe it has something to do with sitting at home playing a drug dealer online instead of being an old fashioned dealer that stands on the street corner and has to run from the police on occasion.
Ya but when the network is down and you get the hot intern to finally tell you her phone number, are you going to say sorry tell me again after the network is up and I can put it into my contact list or are you going to break out the "PEN" and write it down as fast as you can.

Hey what a neat idea. Change the name of the company to hide from all of the proposed/settled on settlements.
"You see "Microsoft" agreed to all of that. We are now "Micorosoft"."
"THE JOB IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. Depsite popular belief, they are not there for your benefit, no matter how much like it. in otherwords, what you do outside of work is your business, not theirs because they really don't want you to succeed past the point where you are no longer dependant on them."
I must say from my experience that this is true. I was despised and even hated by management because I wasn't "dependant" on my job. Sure I could use the money, but they knew I didn't care personally or financially whether I worked there or not.

WOO HOO!! Just think how much it would be if Linux on it really took off.

Saying kids are using illeagal fireworks so we are going to use flamethrowers on the kids to disable the fireworks.

What about port "probing" ?
Sorry you said "wife" not girlfriend.

When will we have to make sure we leave no testable samples of DNA when going in for an interview? :)
More importantly when we go on dates?
I submitted this same article two days ago and it was rejected. I guess if the news isn't two days old it won't be posted.

Exactly how am I going to over-heat my DVD burner burning media that it rated faster than my hardware will burn it. Maybe I am missing something here.
