  1. Why Not on Students Sue Anti-Plagiarism Service · · Score: 1

    To me the students are in the right, as the company is making money off of the works. The school should have the right to check, and use 3rd parties, but turnitin should have an option that says "Do not add content to the turnitin database" for students who do not give rights to use that. that or the students should be compensated a small percentage when turnitin uses their works to check other students papers for infringement.

    Buy their own country? they could then live by their own rules, and tell the other countries to suck it if they want to have the use of their software. it would get them out of the grips of oppressive governments.

    Yah, you could do that, but it's a major pain in the ass.

    No it doesn't.

    Multiple Snapshots. GSX Does not have them, workstation does. and let me tell you, It's damn nice.

  8. Re:What about existing customers? on VMware to Make Server Product Free (as in beer) · · Score: 1

    But you can just get the VMWare GSX trial, as it is fully functional, and use a keygen... COUGH COUGH

  9. Re:Why no free VMware Workstation? on VMware to Make Server Product Free (as in beer) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Workstation provides for multiple snapshots that you can switch between, GSX only allows for 1 snapshot. you can take a snapshot, then revert to that snapshot, undoing everything you've just done. w/ workstatino, you can have 30 snapshots( at time's i've been almost to that point) and switch between them as you please.

  10. Re:Garbage Poll on Poll Finds Mixed Support for Domestic Wiretaps · · Score: 1

    Well, actually, there was a fair amount of suspected fraud in the voting. Ohio and Alaska, for instance, had diebold voting machines, with no way to verify the votes, no paper printouts, lost votes, votes already in the system, etc... and besides, neither major candidate was decent, that's why i voted liberitarian. Anyone want a nice read, http://www.johntitor.com/

    only downside would be there would be 1/4 the articles here as there are.

  15. Re:Perl? Are you kidding me? on Larry Wall on Perl 6 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I do think you should take a look at the web pages your looking at. as far as i can tell, the .pl at the end of the page name means it's written in perl. So, is slashdot written in perl? i think so.

  17. Re:"Owning a copy" of a computer program on Supreme Court Lets Utilization Rights Stand · · Score: 1

    No, the company specifically paid the developer to write the program. they paid him a substantial amount, probably several thousand dollars or more, for said program. if you pay me $10,000 to write a program, you would assume that the program is yours, correct? not that i own it and have just licensed it to you for you to use. you paying $600 for photoshop from best buy, does not constitute a substantial sum of money, plus, you didn't hire adobe to write the custom program for you, they wrote it regardless of whether you were going to buy it or not. oh, btw, IANAL

  18. Re:Yeah...well... on RIAA Sues a Child · · Score: 1

    The thing is, their overall sales have been up since they have been doing their suing, but they keep on using the argument that CD sales are down. so no, it wouldn't invalidate their argument any further than it already is.

  19. Re:Yeah...well... on RIAA Sues a Child · · Score: 1

    But, if They stop buying CD's, it'll just fuel the RIAA even more, because then they can really say "piracy is bad, our CD sales have dropped BIG TIME. we need to get these children before it's too late."
