Perhaps someone should usher the ushers and the film projector booth guy?? Maybe the people that send the films out are ripping them before they go out?
Movie studios presuming 100% audience guilt should get a clue.
BBB is a SHAM! BBB is basically a "cult" that businesses join in order to ferret complaints from people and then bury them. The BBB has absolutely NO enforcement power.
I've done business with businesses that are members of the BBB, gotten ripped off, complained to the BBB, and all the BBB did was to send forms to the business for them to fill out.
So would a crooked business join the BBB? Yes! Does the BBB do anything about complaints? Well, just a very little bit.
So, if everyone downloaded instead of buying then I guess they'll eventually do what RedHat did and just pull everything and only offer their outrageously priced stuff.
Uh, well, I'm a one-man company, so if you want to come work with me, you'd better have clients and work to do! I can only generate enough for one guy so far!
So the poor little CEO is crying because someone called him Benedict? I say companies that outsource just to raise the bottom line should LOSE ALL TAX BREAKS!
Yeah, it's really that fuckin' simple. People get debt, health problems, other problems that are costly... Most people have bosses that ain't about to pay a decent wage that'll get 'em much past paying the bills.
lying about their names to Americans who call in? Also, how do they justify taking courses to learn to speak "American" and act like Americans when they're not?
There was a report on outsourcing on "60 minutes" that showed several Indians (an example, flames to/dev/null, please) who had their real, given name, and a "fake name" like "Fred Jones" that was given to any American who called in.
If there's "nothing wrong" with outsourcing, then why do these people feel a need to lie about who they are?
There are industries (oil, insurance, auto, etc) that are too busy maintaing a macro scale "vendor lock" on society to allow for alternate modes of transportation emerge.
Folks, the fuel-cell car is nothing more than a political toy used by car companies to "prove" to politicians-looking-for-votes that they're "working on it."
Attention consumers: The Better Business Bureau is not really real. It's actually just a scam to get consumers to think that a business is somehow a good business to do business with. I had a complaint about a business, and all the BBB did was to forward the complaint to the business. The BBB has no enforcement authority or power whatsoever. They also don't really advocate for the consumers like they say they do.
The BBB is really nothing more than a scam on consumers. It's basically a "club" more or less that a business can join in order to con consumers into believing that they are a good business. I complained about a business once and they really didn't do much other than to forward a copy of the complaint to the business. The BBB has no enforcement authority whatsoever, and they don't really care!!

It looks pretty clear to me that the GPL, since SCO has not accepted it, states that SCO can't MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE the software, period. They can't "revoke" the license from SCO because SCO does not accept it. Therefore, SCO cannot modify or distribute nmap. They can still USE it, but can't distribute it.

The law says "reasonable." You must interpret it properly! ;-)

I saved about $7500 last year in Socialist Security taxes by paying myself a "reasonable" salary.

If this passes, then congress will make history by ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING SMART!!
If they wrote it in house, how could they have used SCO's code? It's Autozone's code.
