that's sweet fuck all considering they have a free pass up to 100,000 customers. i can't think of a fairer way to allow the industry to asses a piece of technology.
how exactly do you switch out a software agreement? even if there was a clause in there stating "we can change this at anytime" if they tried changing it to greating disadvantage you, i'm no lawyer, but i suspect you'd have a great get out of jail free card right there. the other option is to simply stop using it so they can't sue.
it's the kind of marketing nonsense we have come to expect from zealots. 2 remote holes in 10 years would be impressive if their main customers were webservices and everything was turned on by default. but on a system which has no services turned on by default? give me a break. by that logic microsoft can claim DOS has had zero remote holes in 20 years.
i agree. i have only ever achieved average scores in sit down tests with time limits at uni. but on assignments i've rarely gotten less than 90%, i attribute this to the difference time i have to think about a problem (also to the retarded incomplete questions on many tests and the lack of anyone to quiz about it, but i digress). even the most difficult programming subject which was known to have an 80% fail rate on the firt try i scored 100% on assignment 1 and 120% on assignment 2 (bonus questions).
i managed this working a full time job and doing the course externally, i did't even know any of the other students outside of the mailing list. i've seen this numerous times in the IT industry as well, the most talented guys often take that extra 20% time to get there but they deliever excellent results which often save rework.
Occam's Razor is that the simplest answer is true, to me that's simply he's like every other professional - he joins lots of organisations so he has another piece of paper to hang on the wall. if he activly partisipates that's a different matter.
lawyers/judges are often memebers of many many organisations, it doesn't mean they have the same rabid bias of an apple fanboy of/.
frankly it's hard to see how the pirate bay guys were ever going to win the way they carried on and refused to engage on any kind of meaningful level. i reckon the recording industry lawyers were rubbing their hands together at the thought of getting these chumps into court.
you need to rate them in order of importance. high up front costs mean nothing if the software saves the company millions because it does exactly what it's supposed to.
OSS not understanding what businesses mean by "value" is keeps it at arms length for many sectors.
you'll fail if i can show your providing the roads for the purpose of speeding though, which was what TPB morons were doing. just making something available isn't what sinks them, it's the fact your are making it available with no other reason than to break the law.
yes i know there is lots of shit where the sole purpose of them is to break the law - bongs, home brew etc. but in this case someone is taking them to task about it so either put up a better defense or lobby to have the laws changed.
"many" people switched from windows? what crack pipe are you smoking, because everyone i've seen with a new pc has vista. sure maybe mac's market share went up from 5% to 6%, but your deluding yourself if you think MS doesn't have an iron grip on the desktop.
the levy system most certainly doesn't work. you end up paying for something you don't want. I, for example don't ever wish to purchase a top 40 cd. but due to the levy system if i purchased a blank cd in canada my money would be funneled directly to the very people i don't want it to even through i've never downloaded anything that belongs to them.
exactly, they exploited mac users stupidity and blind faith in apple products. "we don't need antivirus we have a mac" is the attitude. the truth is this wouldn't happen on a windows pc with up to date antivirus.

your making zero sense. the free codec's are willingly given away for free, where here /. is yet again wailing when they have to pay for something.
if your laying out cash on infrastructure i'd say it serves you right for not doing your homework first.

h.264 is not bait and switch. do you really hate paying people for their work that much?
i'm not conservative. if you want to see a bunch of conservatives take a look at the environmental movement
why exactly are we to interfer with this process?
fact check? your new here right?
you can change it back. big whoop. the fact you are even paying this attention shows you've got fuck all to complain about.

one whole day without a stupid copyright story. is this technology news or a political rag?
i will pay that he should have removed himself to avoid suspicion.

there's no proof of this, only vague predictions and bad hollywood movies.

you need to be slapped for using the term "crowdsourcing".
there are 100's of windows based backup options, you haven't even attempted to find out.

yes, perfect system indeed.
exactly, they exploited mac users stupidity and blind faith in apple products. "we don't need antivirus we have a mac" is the attitude. the truth is this wouldn't happen on a windows pc with up to date antivirus.
no, that's what antivirus does, but because mac users are such nobs they believe they are virus proof they don't all run antivirus. checkmate.
