you can do it from any computer, you just need to know the serial number that it was. Or you can use your yearly full deauthorize to deauthorize all of them, then authorize the ones you still have.
borrowing books isnt illegal, your not sitting over a xerox machine copying it page by page. A CD though you can make a exact duplicate of, making two where there was once one.
Xerox a book then tell the publisher about it and see how fast your ass is sued.
ultimately success I think in Sony's eyes. But I also think ultimately there is not going to be enough of a push from either format to really matter. Both formats are looking more like minidisks than they are CDs or DVDs.
360 has yet to sell for a profit. Peripherals dont even come close to making up the R&D and build cost on the 360, which parts wise still sells for less than cost.
This alone is part of the reason why licensing fee's on some peripherals are so high that people wont make them, Microsoft is trying to make back the sheer amount of money it lost.
It took 3 years for Sony to turn a profit on the uberselling PS2, Microsoft only turned a profit on its Xbox division AFTER the 360 was released, which was pretty much voided by the fact that the 360 development cost a ton of cash.
Nintendo profits from both its systems, and its first party games. The profit margin of Nintendo's products alone is bigger than Microsoft's entire 360 division budget. Sony's only profitable endeavors right now are movies and electronics, with the gaming division "bleeding money at a alarming rate."
What you're forgetting is Microsoft and Sony have many other divisions that (can) pull major profits. Especially Microsoft with Windows and the Office lines. They could give away 360s and not hurt the bottom line too much.
Thats a falicy. For one thing it STILL is red ink when you get your stockholders report. Stockholders are going to see it and say "why are you funneling that much money into something not turning a profit" Ultimately if the trend continues, they would have made more profit NOT being in the gaming business with a system than being in it, which stockholders dont like to see.
Nintendo's warchest is peanuts compared to Sony and MS. That's what allows Sony and MS to hemorrhage at the seams; their game division is but one of many. They won't leave this game simply because that one division isn't turning a profit this quarter or year. Nintendo lives or dies by its games division since that's all it has.
But its bad business for Microsoft and Sony to go into their warchest BECAUSE of the fact that they are a company with multiple lines. Stockholders will want answers when their profits are being spent on futile endeavorers, your continuing to miss that point. A Company pulling money out of its coffer to support a failing or faltering division is a one way ticket to its value being lowered, and its masters being out on their ass.
Nintendo has a out on this fact because they only have ONE division. They dont have to manage multiple divisions, and they dont have to justify keeping a division open thats tanking. Microsoft and Sony can and have. Apple when they where retaken over by Jobs lost a huge number of their divisions for exactly this fact, because their profits where being spent supporting their losses.
Oh and to put it in perspective, while Microsoft and Sony both are huge companies, their gaming divisions are roughly much smaller than Nintendo.
Nintendo makes money, Microsoft and Sony hemorrhage it till they can get enough systems in enough hands to turn a profit on licensing for software... At this point neither company is even close to that goal while Nintendo is still seeing a huge demand for a system that makes a profit on every sale. Couple with the DS and Nintendo has a huge warchest.
If Sony and Microsoft cant pull larger profits, they will be gone, no matter HOW good the system is. No matter what they want to say about the Wii's staying power, its already done what Nintendo set out to do, made a huge profit for them.
A LOT of codex sound better than a nearly 20 year old one, and by comparison,.ogg has been found to not be NEARLY as good as.acc (study done in two audiophile magazines), which all sound bad compared to the numerous uncompressed formats out there.
and its legal to play on my operating system of choice
As are just about every other commercial codex out there, only protect ones tend to not be linux compatible, which.ogg is not so its unfair to compare it to those store codex out there (ie M4p, or WMV) A more fair comparison would be unprotected WMV, or ACC.
Whatever happened to the concept of personal choice
Wait this is your response to a attack about your choice, pointing out various reasons why the other person is a idiot in your mind (ie that his choice sucks) then saying everyone is in title to their own choice? Do you realize how hypocritical your statement here is?
Anything purchased out of state and brought into a state that taxes said item, is required by you the purchaser to submit the tax FOR said item.
Thus if I buy something from amazon (say a DVD) I am required to report it to NJ and pay the state sales tax.
All this law does it have Amazon do it for you, so your getting properly taxed for it. Right now they cant, and thus most people dont report it since the state has no way of tracking that you bought something from out of state, this law changes it. If your state has no sales tax, you dont pay a thing. Most states you will though.
And as I pointed out before, it has NOTHING to do with email. Thus the republican smokescreen saying its the Democrats pushing it on a law CREATED by a republican.
The republicans are throwing up smoke. Right now ALL retailers and people are required to pay sales tax on out of state items (depending on your state), most do not though because of varying loopholes and other features which benefit the businesses but lower sales tax revenue. What seems to be going through is a streamlining of the tax laws to take out all of those loopholes that businesses where using.
There is no mention or even hint that this is going to be used on email. The republicans are only saying that because it DOES effect their big backers, big business, with a vested interest in making money. This is going to effect a number of people like Amazon, but for others like Apple, who already DO charge and pay state sales tax, this is going to mean nothing.
But what is not so clear is by whom. If Apple is just following the industry standard, that people who know technology understand and have respected for years (like who a hard drive isnt EXACTLY the size thats claimed) then how can you fault one manufacturer and give a pass to the hundreds of others out there.
Now take into account that courts ruled that such things in the past are NOT false advertising (again the Hard Drive issue) and you get to the point where there is obviously little chance at even being heard, forget about winning.
What would you say if Apple actually didnt follow the industry and said the truth that their montiors where 6bit. Everyone would jump on them saying their monitors where of a lower quality than other laptop monitors despite the fact that the entire industry uses 6bit monitors too.
they all use the same 6bit displays the rest of the industry use. Reason being, better displays would drive the cost of laptops up 500-1000 dollars over what they do now.
I actually feel the opposite BTW. My macbook pro has a screen far superior to my iBook G4.
Um no they didnt, the movie animators had a LOT of trouble trying to make the G1 designs work. Very often the Japaneses animators cheated and removed a piece here or moved a piece to a spot it could never have gone to. If your looking for care in animation, watch Gundam or Macross, but Transformers G1 had very little care in how they transformed.
The fact that OP is not a flat faced truck in this one is a direct result of them trying to make him one, and realizing there was no way in hell he could have realistically transformed and look how he did in the TV show.
He offered proof. He WAS THERE with the reporter. He pointed out that the Chron's story of events differed dramatically from the truth. How much more proof do you need than a eye witness account.
I actually lift 3 days a week and do cardio 4 and have had no problems losing the weight. I use it as a cooling off period from work, putting all my frustrations into my weight training and sprints.
More than one idea to solve a networking issue or a software issue has come from the hour after work I spend at the gym.
Not alleged anymore. They just recently released everything that clearly points the finger at Microsoft telling the MBU to prepare to kill any further development of Office.
Apple didnt lose the Microsoft case because look and feel isnt copyright-able. It was dismissed under a technicality (IE The judge felt that Sculley's prior dealings with Microsoft and Windows 1.0) An appeal on that was also upheld though it was Job's deal with Bill years later that finally put the whole thing to rest.
Technically a real ruling on this issue (and thus a definitive answer to if a look and feel of a software package could be copyright-able) has never been handed down.

iTunes ALSO lets you deauthorize a computer, incase it is stolen.
sept that whole it was ALWAYS in the metafile data since iTunes music store was created thing.

no but sending people to a website that knowingly hae embedded viruses on it foun by others is not considered nice.

Apple users tend to hold on to their machines for a long time. But then those of us who do tend to not be using Windows products anyway.
could it be related to your local corporate policy? Because its certainly not the US corporate policy.
Bullshit, I worked there for 2 1/2 years, never had to submit to any of that. No one I know who still works for them has had to do that either.
