I've heard this before but i've never seen anything official on this. Any info on where I caould find that in an official doc? (No i'm not dobuting you, i would really like to see know.)
The problem will be that this lawsuit is prohibited by MS's EULA. If the company was using Windows and MS SQLserver they accepted that agreement, if they didn't accept the agreement they either wern't using said software or were using it illegaly (w/o accepting the EULA). This lawsuit is dead in the water!
Not only that, but I can see it now....the digital equalilant of "Postage Due".:( I can see iot now: You have $300 in outstanding postage due for these marketing mass mails that you "requested" your e-mail account is now frozen
Ok, there's a 5000 e-mail limit. Amazon.com is now a spammer if all they ever send out is order confirmation and tracking e-mails. A bank that provides on-line banking would be a spammer if they send out e-mail confirmations of on-line transactions. It's not as simple to use "quantity" of e-mails as a spam/no spam test.
Ok, So If I use windows and open a sharded file on a network FULL of MP3s, and I use the little "find" feature to search for a song will the RIAA go after MS?:)
Um, please don't put words in my mouth. I am not a Mac person. I actually really dislike macs. All of my computers are PCs. I was say that firewire is not as useless as the original poster thought, that it is VERY usefull in terms of video stuff. Notice how I never used the word mac. PCs can easily use firewire, some MBs have it on board, others you jsut get a PCI->firewire card. I also never commented on the price of mac (because I have never shopped for a Mac because I dis-liek them). Next time you might not want to launch into a huff over something I never even said!
Not all of them come with Firewire cards, and some that do come with really crappy cards. There are some that come this good cards, but they cost more. Like anything else you get what you pay for. Mostly I was just letting the original poster that they might not want to count firewire out that quickly when talking about a tech that relates to video.
Um....a great number of the digital camcorders use Firewire. I wouldn't be supprised if people who want to burn DVDs also want to download video from their camcorder.
Then don't forget that MOST of the DVD authoring software wants to import Photoshop files for the menus (yeah you can use other programs but to get a damn good one ya' really need photoshop) so go sheel out more money for that.....the lst never stops. Yeah you can buy a computer for a few hundred bucks, and then spend a few grand to do ANYTHING with it. I tell you software prices are hurting the computer industry as much as anything else is these days. SW compaines would make more money if they charged less. People pirate software because it's so expensive. I can get a whole new computer for what it costs for the OS and Office, that's now right. Hardware prices are falling and software prices are rising.....bad combo. Ok, no i'm officially WAY off-topic (feel free to mode me as such) i'll stop ranting now.

They have double-sided DVDs (there are movies that ahve Widescreen on one side and full-screen on the other) and they just put this really small text on the inner part (where it's usually clear). Now if only i could write that small w/ my CD marking sharpie!:)
I can just see it now:
"You Illeaglly searched my client's residence"
"Actually we were just there fufilling the wire tap order"
"INSIDE my client's home?"
"Well he had a scrambler on his phone so we used a different method to install the legal wiretap, we placed a bug IN the phone. We just happened to see other incriminating evidence while performing the wiretap".
Or they just don't read the info that came with the wireless router on HOW to. There are a great many home users who buy these things, plug them into the wall and their DSL/Cable modem, add a wireless card to their PC or laptop and start surfing, They have no idea WHAT a SSID is let alone why they should change it!
Yes, but if you have several trillion copies of your program you can run them all in parellel. Think of cytography....you could make a bioprogram that's designed to find the 128 bit key. There's 2^128 possible solutions. So if you have a whole bunch of these 2^1000 bio-programs in a solution, you can quickly find the 128 bit key. Look here under DNA computing for an example of why this stuff is useful, even if it is slow compared to silicon.
However at that point the question is at that time (Sept) what will Intel be shipping? P4 3.5 ghz? P4 4.0 ghz? Sure it should beat a P4 3.0, but that's avaliable today. It's gunna be interesting to see how it compares to other procs avaliable when it ships.
I'm sure this wouldn't help, it would probably HURT Verizon's case. The judge said that the SOFTWARE wasn't illegal, it was the copy right violations that were. Now the RIAA just has to say, "Look that judged just said what these users are doing is illegal, so give us their names!" Verison isn't fighting for the right to with hold that information, they are fighting to sayt that a JUDGE must sign for the release of that info.

Touchscreen w/ a virtual KB is always a good option :)
Thank you. :)
I'm betting on XP 2: OSes United.

Interesting. In that case this could be more interesting then I thought. I sould have included the IANAL clause :)

it's a tech-school, i doubt ANY of his dorm buddies leave there with a LAW degree. :)
I have to agree My fav is #3 with #1 close behind. #2 is a very very distant third.
IC your point now. I misunderstood before. :)

Yeah, lets scan stuff with a 10-year old virus scanner so we can't possible infect all the computers inside that are hooked up to the internet!

Most good judges whould have a fit at this!

Or my personal Favo. Try to go to the Windows Update Site using Netscape! It won't even work to update windows!
