You mean that under the previous terms I couldn't before now???? Oops!!!
Excellent points.

There is/was? a similar hill optical illusion in a suburb called Forrestfield in Perth, Western Australia. Whack the car in neutral and up the noticeable hill you'd roll. Used to be called Magnetic Hill - the theory being there was some large lode stone doing the 'pulling' of the vehicle.
Was a rather unsafe place to drive - the road went thru' thickish scrub and you'd come around the top or bottom corners of the hill and find some car creeping in the middle of the road, sometimes with open doors and no-one inside it - the occupants would be out on the side of the road watching it go 'uphill'.
Not sure about other states, but in WA they stick a sign on the roadside AFTER the camera which indicates you've passed thru a radar check. Sort of like giving you the finger:p. I've NEVER seen a sign before a camera.
Yep - along with the above, and routing the majority of monies levied via road traffic offences and vehicle licensing fees into consolidated revenues, the various State and Federal Governments here in Oz have reaped a bonanza in defacto taxes from the road system.
Meanwhile, people are dying as a direct result of the negligence of road maintenance, and the lack of contribution of road system derived monies to any kind of comprehensive driver training scheme.
"That's US$1300 that the students aren't shelling out."
Horseshit - plain and simple. That's US$Fuckall the students aren't shelling out. No way the large majority of this or other lower income groups are going to be coughing up this amount of moola to 'legally' acquire all they've shared.
That's the various recording industries' paid-shill rally cry. They fully know that it's a plain fallacy they are gonna suddenly recoup all this 'lost' revenue. They also know that rather than apply some thought to the issue, a lot of people are gonna see the words 'steal' and 'piracy' and immediately get a bug up their arse and hop on board the mindless Association Train-of-Propoganda.
Sure, argue the case based on copyright infringement, but don't spout some steaming pile straight from the 'RIAA/ARIA' Press Kit ffs.
hehe - I agree with you. But it wasn't my company, it was the bosses - he felt it was his neck and I wasn't about to argue with an employer after 3 weeks in the job:)
Whilst the essence of your statement is true - the retention of all relevant documentation is professional practice - the author may have been faced with the situation where he inherited a setup where poor record keeping was the norm.
I faced a similar situation at a small company a while back, were the BSA sent said letter soon after my employment. I raised the issue with the boss, along with informing him of the rather paltry record keeping history prior to my starting (Things like a few OEM pcs with preinstalled Windows98 SE, small software packages etc, but no media or license retention).
Although we did have the invoices detailing what was purchased, it was deemed insufficient by the BSA as proof of license compliance requirements, so to avoid drama and expidite the process,the various software was purchased again.
I often wondered if I could have gone to MS about the W98 SE issue and seen what may have been possible - i.e. whether the particular details (we had the invoices and obviously the reg numbers from the pc itself) were enough in themselves to confirm we 'had' a license?
Wrong - you are half a threat. You'll be paired up with another half threat and prosecuted as a whole threat - unless there are no other half threats, in which case they'll need a couple of ppl with 6x burners...
There are two 'types' of ATI cards (at least for the 97xx series) - cards made by ATI itself which are stickered as 'made by ATI', and cards made by other manufacturers which may be using the exact ATI reference card design or the manufacturer's permutation thereof, and with enhanced features and which are stickered as 'powered by ATI'.

Maybe someone should've told the Pres it isn't an all-terrain vehicle. In that first pic it looks to me like he's riding the thing in the garden?
I didn't realize you could go prone in CS :P
