In hind sight, that statement was a little bit of exaggeration. The point was only supposed to be that it shouldn't be totally ruled out that a person is guilty based on the trial.
Me paenatet.
I don't know how much a "proper trial" will help in showing whether or not he's "the right guy." Trials here in the good ole US of A seem to pick the wrong guy quite often. On the other hand, a trial may help spark more evidence exhaunerating the wrong guy and finding/convicting the right guy.
(note to spelling nazis: I realize I probably butchered that word that starts with "ex".)
Problem Three: Surely this is more of a problem with Windows' Security model? if an OS is used essentially as a single user machine (e.g., 9x) then there is little that can be done between profiles.
Even if it is an OS problem, you can't see the caches, etc, of another user in IE. The software should compensate for the poor design of the OS (in this instance anyways; as it could be a security risk.)
Joe and Jane user probably aren't too worried that their wife or husband can see their emails... what average user digs around in the file structure anyhow?
anyone else notice how many times they made sure to say it was not of public concern?
/me puts on tinfoil hat
a 1/233 chance of it hitting earth sounds like fairly good odds to me, considering odds of other asteroids... I want to be concerend for another 24 (close enough) years...
For years here in America, a lot of smaller "TV" companies as I call them (companies that sell products on TV, and hardly ever in stores.)
In their ads they have (we'll use carpet cleaner for example) bottles of "the other stuff." from which the lables have been stripped, but the bottle is recognizable.
Would this kind of play be fair in France? and if so, why hasn't Google tried to do something like that?
I know slashdot is full of physics nerds, but I'm fairly certain none of them have perfected Otto Octavius' "SunMachine2000, with real fusion action!"... so I don't think we can turn off all the nights. sorry!;-)
They do make it pretty damn easy to backup your music, IMHO. In iTunes all one must do is put in a cd and make 2 clicks. If that's too hard, then maybe they should stick with more "traditional" methods.
What kind of troll is this? I'm a contract IT guy, I work on all sorts of stuff, and this is really helpful to me too (the othe being the poster right above me). I'm posting this from my Powerbook, and my desktop computers have windows and linux. Not everyone here solely uses Linux... in fact, I'll be that a major portion of the traffic here is from Windows.... Don't judge lest ye be judged...
I honestly know next to nothing about contract law, so I'm genuinely asking this question.
How is the EULA not the same as a written contract, that once you agree to it, it doesn't matter what rights you have by law? (i.e.: the law says you may make a copy for back up, but the EULA says you can't, but you accept the agreement, don't you waive that right?)
This may not be perfectly worded, but I hope I got the point of my question across.
The EULA isn't for the media... it's for the content..
Ya know in the olden days when that big "FBI" thing would come on the screen when you watched a VHS tape? ever read it? It tells you the rules for use: an EULA.
I maintain that software should be like music CDs and movie DVDs: If you posess a copy, you can use it however you want; you just can't copy it and distribute the copies.
While I agree, you know and I know that a lot of people won't play by the rules, and I think the company has a right to protect their property. When you click "I accept" you, too, are saying that they have the right to do so as well.
Will Valve pay me for the time i spent in going out and buying their product?
Will the grocer give you a discount because you had to go to the trouble of getting to the store?
How about for the hassle of sending it back and getting my money?
Yeah, a phone call and a stamp are a big hassle.... you're just lazy
How about for the time i spent reading the whole EULA?
Will they pay me for the legal costs incurred in having a lawyer read the whole thing and explain me the legal implications of the EULA (Since it's unlikelly that a layman can fully understand the meaning of the EULA)?
uhm... yes... they should pay you for reading the document that tells you what the rules are for using their property... and the government should pay you to read the entire governiing document for wherever you may live
Do i have a full lifetime guarantee that i can give it back if have never installed their product and disagree with the License Agreement?
No, that's just idiocy on your part if you do such a thing
No, they won't pay you for these things... but there is no reason for them too... get it, read the EULA if you wish, and then return it if you don't like it... the return process will probably take no more than 30 minutes, if you have to wait a long time and then have to go buy the necessary stamps or whatever. It's been this way for a long time... only now you actually have to play by the rules.

I believe the mothership will be taking measurements of whatever is expelled... but I didn't RTFA so I don't really know.

I know, I'm a phys. major. I was just being pedantic, because "losing weight" via the other method is just too appealing! ;)
Wouldn't it be more helpful to lose mass, instead? ;-)

(forgive me, I couldn't resist.)
MSN does the same thing.
It's fairly easy to see, since secunia is so slow now. The status bar for the 'hijaked' popup says "waiting for secunia.com"
I'm rather interested on how bad the built-in firefox reader (i.e. "Live Bookmarks") is, if you wouldn't mind.

I use iChat daily, but i don't really know anything "magical" about it...

Ahh, thanks! That sheds light on that subject.

I don't own it but I seem to remember others saying that such a stipulation is printed on the box. I could be wrong, however.
