If I catch an intruder in my own home, should I be free to kill him? Or should I try any other way beforehand? I can't imagine a situation when I'm _forced_ to kill him. But even if I am, it is up to judge to say what is the punishment.
Well the whole reason you have insurance is so that if something bad happens while driving etc you don't have to foot the whole bill yourself.
I do understand the whole situation. And I complain. A few years form now on I'll have paid on goverment mandated car insurance and 'my volunteer car-crash insurance' more than a realistic estiamate of damage, caused by myself, ever will be. And I'll have to continue paying further and further.
Therefore I suggest that I have an option (as opposed to paying this 'insurance' now) to sign an agreement with 'insurance company' that I'll start paying my 'insurance fees' *after* I do some damage. And I'll recover any loss the company had when they covered the damage. If I keep driving without causing any damage, I save the bucks.
but they can also just follow you by car and get the same results.
They cannot follow 100 000 cars at the same moment in time - they do not have the resources. But they can do the same if each car transmits its position in real time. The size^H^H^H^Hquantity matters.
He decided to write a tool that essentially did "rm -rf"-thing in assembly under DOS (it was something like 1993). The goal was "no questions" and "as fast as possible". The mistake was, that first time the program run flawlessly, it was on directory with the source code for that program. Ooops!
TaskBar Grouping and Auto-Hide are the first to go, when working on someone's laptop. They are useless, and not terribly important.
That is completelly irrelevant! The point is that MS has got another torpedo in their arsenal that they can launch on your project/company/... if you use that feature and dare to create a problem for them for any reason.
warning is a good idea but the EU wishes not to warn but censor
Can't you see, that it is just different level? For your kids, you are the authority that decides what they get to see. It is so because you decide that you are mature enough to take the decission and they are not. In case of censorship there is someone else in role of parent and you are in role of kids. The censor got a warning and made the decission.
OTOH the humankind proves again and again, that it is not mature enough to take these decesions on lowest level - people themselves. If there is 5-step receipt of making cocain or explosives with househods ingredients, I don't want this information to be on every corner.
I have to disagree. In the given axample the understanding of assembly helps to make a decission for high level language. That is the point of understanding assembly these days, IMHO.
the core library is around 444 Kb when built with MSVC on WIn32.
Check out the size of linked dlls before making any claims. I don't say it will be reversed (I don't know), but it will be different from your current observation.
I don't know about your KDE, but mine comes with kpersonalizer. It is typically launched on first login of user that uses KDE and has very convinient way of choosing which efects I want and which not.
Whoever moded the parent offtopic is a moron. The e-mail address *is* missing and the encoding *is* strange and MEP will not bother reading a questionarie without proper diacritics because it seems un-profesional (i.e. unimportant).
>A lot of people were lamenting the fact that they seemed to be using WINE derived code, which struck me as strange, since wasnt this the whole point of the GPL?
No it's not the whole point. That's only one half of it. The other half is the community getting something back.
Judical branch employees should not comment on ongoing case. However defendant should be free to say whatever he wants. He should be free to say what the law says and _particulary_ he should be free to publish what he was charged with!

As oposite to: "Wanna fuck in my car?"
It helps to punish those that violated law. The questions is how much this deters others when drunk driving.

Does it matter? I mean, really, does it matter?

That's fine. MS just tends to buy the supplier out.

The whole point is that your "I need certain web-apps" is more worth to you than "I don't want to be vulnerable".

You mean *they* are playing catch-up now?
I wonder why exactly this part of EULA - no liability - should be valid and enforceable. Perhaps you just have to give it a try?
Customer: my WinXP does not boot anymore. Can you help me?
Support: Reinstall your system and come back if it still does not work.
BTW, thanks for that.
