Actually most EULA's prohibit this, thus making it illegal
1. Who says EULA's are legally binding? Give me ONE example of a EULA being upheld against an ordinary consumer in a non-US western country. 2. In danish copyrightlaw(Lov om Ophavsret) there are two bits(36 and 37) that talks about reverse engineering. The interesting bit is that part of the law is that NO other contract can forbid reverse engineering! So if the EULA(Which I dont think is legally binding) says you cant reverse engineer the software it tries to deny you some rights it definately cannot!
If you were to make a system that detected false clicks in an advertising system, how would you implement it:
1. Run an analysis on EVERY click that comes in, with huge costs associated 2. Have some code that analysed clicks every week, even though money was only sent every month 3. Have som code that analyzed clicks just before you were about to send money
I'm not saying Google are saints(But I'm inclined to believe they are pretty good guys), but option 3 definately looks the most sensible to me:)
Just because you use a platform that does not have so many exploits does not mean that the issue is corrected. Its basicly a for of security by obscurity.
For example, with that sort of money on hand, I recommend they buy Intel (or AMD) and Seagate, then almost give the CPUs/disks away - make the whole box a commodity. TCO drops and everyone can afford MS software. The software becomes the key factor again. MS continue to extend their protocols to ensure non-interaction (as they constantly do now).
This would most likely be agains anto-competitive laws in alot of countries.
I'm pretty sure it would be a problem in Denmark anyway.
If AMD makes a batch of CPU's that can all run at 2.2GHz, and none that run at lower speeds they do not sell all of these as 2.2GHz CPU's.
Lets take an example: The 2.2 costs $500, the 2.0 $300 and the 1.8 $100.
In our example, would they go out and sell all of them at $500 - no, because they wouldnt sell any CPU's to people that only want to pay $100.
If they instead lowered the price to $100 for the 2.2GHz part, they wouldnt get the extra money from people actually willing to pay $500.
So what they do is label the CPU's in numbers that corresponds to demand. If 50% wants to pay $100, 30% $300 and 20% $500, they will label the CPU's in these quatities.
My FEELING is that as chip production has become more reliable this is what happens most of the time today.
But if someone in the industry could confirm it, it would be nice:)

Clearly someone just put up a SEP field!
Would that do?
There are more, btw.
Could you please give me a reference to a EULA holding up in a UK court?
Its not really hard to do!
Store peoples email and MD5(email + salt only known by apple) in the file!
Then it would be pretty simple for apple to tell if someone has messed with the watermark.
It would most likely take the EU 2 seconds to declare all Microsoft products public domain!
So youre saying it will work for lottery numbers? ;)
You can hook it up via USB to a host machine and get it on the network that way - telnet, http and ftp server is on the gpx2.
Just a though:
:)

Actually - only the generated UI needs to be done in Java - you can pretty much talk to anything with the built-in JSON functionality.
So you can write your UI in Java with GWT, but make that app talk to a php webserver - no need for java after the app is "compiled".
HAH! CmdrTaco is ancient! Not like us 29 year 364 day old people!
Btw - there is a perfectly fine port of Hibernate to .Net: Nhibernate
No, dont loose the condom!
You usually use your penis in defaulk permit mode, and to enhance your personal security you should apply a default deny mode instead!
So please wear a condon at ALL times, except the moment you plan to be a father.
No - that is not "correcting the issue"
That is fooling yourselves!
Just because you use a platform that does not have so many exploits does not mean that the issue is corrected. Its basicly a for of security by obscurity.
It was an obvious fake.
I saw onlye ONE "evidence" that the duping had occured, and that was a screenshot from the auction house with duped items.
The problem is that the screenshot has been manipulated.
So there was absolutely no evidence that there were any duping.
Then consider them partnering with someone like Dell(Or HP or whomever)
Then Dell could sell Dimensions with preinstalled OSX in well tested hardware configurations.
IE3!!! :D
;)
My first thought was: Damn - that sounds pretty insecure, but then again...
Any security hole in it is probably so rare now a days that it is much more secure than any up to date new browser!
You mean like my new Dell machine comes with XP for free?
Ofcourse its not free - the price is just hidden.
So you say that the people that develop windows drivers for their hardware do so without documentation of the hardware?
Ofcourse the docs already exists - so there is absolutely no added costs.

Thats not completely true!

Try to look at the adblock in firefox - it basicly stops anything you'd like. Including the annoying flash divs that hovers above the content.
Because some moderators are jerks - but what the hell - let them feel powerful for a bit ;)
Did you have guards on the trains pre 9/11?
It just seems really excessive to me to have guards on trains.
The GUARD?!?!?
:)
Do you actually have guards in the trains?
How appropriate that the Mac god actually IS gay! Explains alot about the design! ;o)
