What if the music the court discovers was recorded from an off-air FM radio station or something like Shoutcast. Does that also constitute copyright infringement?
I've checked into living in Amsterdam as much as I can from afar, and get the impression that real estate is astronomically priced and homes are tiny, even compared to Southern California. Also, I believe I read somewhere that the Netherlands is the most populous country in the world (people per square mile or some such measure). I would love to retire in Amsterdam but am not sure I could afford the cost of living. Just how bad is it?
1. Make a bootleg copy look authentic.
2. Make an authentic copy look bootleg.
I think it would be far easier to patch WGA in order to make it FAIL authentication than it would be to make a counterfeit Windows version PASS authentication, because of the cryptography involved (ie; probably all that would be required to make it fail would be to patch a conditional jump instruction in the executable code, but cracking the cryptography involved to pass authentication would be virtually impossible).
Wow, that's wonderful! It means if I want to change distros I can do so "gracefully" without having to go through all the installation and configuration hassles all at once. It also solves the problem of how to back up a running Linux system (use one to back up the other). Because of virtual memory, trying to back up a running OS from *within* that OS seems like a risky proposition. Guess I should have brought this up on some Linux forum, but I've never seen it discussed in any of my Linux books or elsewhere so I assumed it couldn't be done. Duh.
Ok, I'll give it a try, but I'm skeptical about Linux's ability to handle two different "/" directories. And NO, of course I don't expect to be able to share settings between the two different versions, but I *do* expect to be able to share files.

... or boot into a second "bare bones" installation of Windows on a different partition so that you can do maintenance on the primary Windows installation. Doing so makes it trivially easy to backup the Windows2000 registry for example. Simply copy the "system32\config" directory and its contents to a backup location. I also use the second copy of Windows to degrag and run virus scans of the primary Windows installation, and to delete problematic files.
That's one of my complaints about Linux; ie, why can't I have two or more installations of Linux on the same machine just like I can with Windows 2000? At present I have a triple boot system that can boot into either one of two versions of windows or one version of Linux (Mandriva at the moment).
In business, monetization refers to the process of deriving revenue from some group of customers that would not otherwise generate revenue for the business. The problem of monetizing a group of users of a web site is one that many companies that folded during the dot-com bust failed to solve. These customers are often monetized today by placing advertisements on web sites.
I guess I'll never know if any of those patches apply to Windows 2000, because although I have a perfectly legitimate copy, I refuse to submit my computer to Micro$oft's intrusive scanning. It's only a matter of time before I switch to Linux completely, but I just haven't decided on which flavor of Linux/BSD to stick with yet.

I was ecstatic when Mandriva 2007 automatically recognized my Hauppage video capture card, and would probably still be running it on my second computer except that..., get ready for this... it failed to recognize my Soundblaster sound card!!! Har, har, furthermore I think that was the *only* time I've ever had *any* Linux distro fail to recognize a sound card. Yes, I'll get it working eventually and have already started checking forums, etc., for troubleshooting steps, but I'd rather there were an easier way.

But what about when the drive stops spinning, and the thin foil platters collapse under their own weight like tin foil does?

Bah Humbug. It's easier to get vitamin D from a pill, and a pill doesn't cut into my computer time or damage my eyes with all that blinding light. ;-)

On the other hand, if they asked factual questions like:

1. What is the hexadecimal opcode for the IBM 360 "Jump" instruction?
I would be perfectly happy with the idea.
False. Guns banned in California are readily available in Russia:

If "tubgirl" is anywhere nearly as disgusting as "goatse", I feel very fortunate to have never viewed it.

Or within 1500 feet or so of an RT.
RT = Remote Terminal connected to the Central Office (CO) via fiber. Copper connects the RT to the user's home normally.

Fortunately, I don't believe in a second life.
Funny how the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines don't have much of a problem recruiting people to voluntarily kill other people.
It would work only if you talked exceedingly slowly. ;-)

The difference is that only the government forcibly takes people's money under threat of imprisonment.
I thought the COBOL "MOVE CORRESPONDING" statement was pretty awesome when I learned COBOL back in the seventies. :-)
Indeed. I have a solar powered Fossil Sundial wrist watch that never needs winding and has no moving parts, LOL!
