What moron puts a wireless adapter on a voting machine, anyway?
I forsee the rise of a new type of cybercrime... WarVoting...
Think of it, all of those minority party candidates going out with their huge aerials and their laptops, and "modding themselves up"
You guys need to be introduced to the Monster Raving Loony Party. Check out their policies: although written in a serious manner, some of them are quite silly, such as reducing class size by making the children sit closer together;) Somehow their rock star leader has become the longest standing party leader in the UK, and they consistently field candidates across the country in every election
Unfortunatly, Screaming Lord Sutch is deceased, so will be unable to stand in either our next general election, or the US Presedential election, though I think the US Branch of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party kind of corrupted the message and lost the plot, because Less than Dangerous Darl seems to be using his groups looniness for nefarious ends. If they have't aleady been evicted, they should be now...
To comply with the terms and conditions of the software license agreements, you must consider any CD or diskette set of Dell-installed software as BACKUP copies of the software installed on your computer's hard-disk drive.
I may just be getting confused here, and IANAL and stuff, but doesn't that seem to be saying that you have, in effect, agreed that the cd set of the software is your one copyright-law allowed backup?
(Not that anyone'd want to pirate this stuff generally, but it raises the point of "how will these sneaky beggars try and get around the law this week?" )
Globe Lane. Which puts you in spoon in 5 moves, if my copy of "Mornington Crescent for the Intelligent Player" (Rushton Memorial Edition, Brook-Taylor, Garden et al.) is correct...
I wouldnt worry, first time I ever saw it on a friends desktop, I thought it was actually some new Simcityesqe Rome Simulation game or somesuch, complete with burning Colliseum icon.
Yes, I was amused when I found out what it actually was. However, for me, that just made Nero far more memorable. When I first got hold of KDE3 I did start to wonder why the cd burning app of choice was called K3b.
I guess the point is, one people get over the initial name confusion, it moves into a different area, namely "what does this program do for me?" and "how does it look while it's doing it?" (for those who have command-line phobia)
