    At the least, they should be using an SSL secured e-mail service, if not the Interpol website (which, I hope, is SSL secured).

    Only if you refer to S/MIME as SSL and forget to mention PGP/MIME. Otherwise your SSL secured e-mail service suggestion is useless. Email is not secured same way as website traffic.

    Assuming that the Wikipedia article is correct, Israel has had nuclear capabilities (~20 bombs) during the '73 war and did not use it, even though the Arab military success at the beginning of the war was definitely more than "very little provocation".

    Most of "Israel and nukes" things are just unconfirmed speculations. Some might quote Sum of all fears, but Israelis never confirmed or denied that they have nukes.

    I wonder if the Intel Fanboys have udders, because Intel sure is trying to milk them.

    Or Intel has hard time in selling high end CPUs to Intel users. So they sell those CPUs at lower price and hope that some customers will pay extra some day when hardware upgrade requires more resources than price for flipping some CPU microcode switch.

  14. Re:So let me get this straight... on Court Says First Sale Doctrine Doesn't Apply To Licensed Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The undisputed facts were that Autodesk busted a company (CTA) for unauthorized use of AutoCAD. It then licensed 10 copies of AutoCAD R14 to CTA. CTA accepted the terms of the license. Later, CTA upgraded to AutoCAD 2000, paying the upgrade price. It accepted the AutoCAD 2000 upgrade license, which required destruction of the copies of R14. Rather than destroy them, CTA sold the copies to Vernor along with the activation codes in violation of both the R14 and AutoCAD 2000 licenses. Vernor then tried to sell the copies on eBay.

    Then why Autodesk is not suing CTA? They are the ones that broke the law. Vernor has 10 valid licenses of AutoCAD R14. Full product, not upgrade. CTA has 10 licenses of AutoCAD 2000 Upgrade without software product which allows to use those licenses. Autodesk has right to sue CTA for upgrade license violation. They have no right to sue Vernor. Vernor only bought full AutoCAD R14 license from CTA.

    Are you sure that it was "destruction of R14" and not uninstallation? If R14 is destroyed, AutoCAD 2000 upgrade owner loses product which justifies installation of 2000 upgrade.

    After all, if I own the software and am licensing its use,

    If you are talking about some common commercial software you bought, you don't own the software. You own license to run this software on number of machines specified in software license. You should be able to use your first-sale rights to sell this software license. If software is created by Adobe, it is even written in their EULA. Or was written some years ago. If your software is OEM licensed, you should be able to use your first-sale rights, if you sell hardware that came with software.
