But the real question is for a court to decide damages.
What would they sue for? Simply infringing on copyright is not necessarily damages. They've not casued any monetary loss to the copyright holder. All they can do is get a court order asking you to stop. If you don't stop you're in contempt.
Still it's the US [in]justice system. Who knows what kind of silly damages they'd reward.
IANAL, but I play one on/.
What about the old madonna.com debacle? Her lawyers expropriated that domain name, and the owner was just sitting on it, not linking to competing artists IIRC.
Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about this way around. One of the eDonkey sites I visit does this; they make every hyperlink also trigger a pop-up. Absolutely no way around this unless FF and IE completely block all popups, even the ones you click on.
Presently popups are allowed in the onclick event. That's where one of the holes is.
ASE 12.5 does a piss-poor job of it though. It doesn't support two constructs that I use from time to time in some complex queries: FULL OUTER JOIN and CROSS JOIN
FULL OUTER JOIN in ANSI-88 syntax is *=* which ASE 12.5 supports, however it doesn't support the ANSI-92 version, and CROSS JOINS must be implemented using ANSI-88 code. ANSI-92 CROSS JOIN constructs aren't supported.
And before you get into a debate ANSI-88 vs ANSI-92 SQL standards, there's papers upon papers on the benefit. I find ANSI-92 just cleaner and easier to read. It follows a more logical flow, and allows you to keep your join conditions seperate from your filter conditions, which is really the purpose of a WHERE clause.
Sybase is a POS. I work with it every day and can't stand it. The SQL Syntax is so crippled compared to SQL Server's. You can do SO much more with SQL Server.
Trust me, Sybase sux. I want to move back to sql server.
Our office still codes using ANSI-88 joins. It's sad.
Non IT people just don't understand why code isn't written correctly the first time.
I blame non-technical project managers writing scope docs. really it's all their fault. IMO a project manager should work as a programmer before telling programmers how to code. I think we respect project managers who've worked as programmers way more than non-technical ones.
Sorry dude - reading comprehension sklls were a bit off...
Honestly though, I don't think though EULA's have ever been tested in court; the contract between myself and the store to use an item needs to have the terms of the use spelled out before you open the item and use it.
No store is required to give a refund; that service is provided as a courtesy. So if you disagree with the terms of an EULA, you're SOL.
I truly think if the terms of an EULA were ever challenged in court, the EULA would be defeated.
Really, there's no contract. No consideration. It's hard to spell out terms of usage without a contract IMO.
Uhm, how can CherryOS be sued by apple for violating the EULA? What relationship does CherryOS have with Apple?
Maybe Apple could try for copyright infringement, but the EULA honestly doesn't mean jack shit to someone who hasn't purchased a copy of the OS. That's JMO; IANAL.
Then there's those of us who really like the Mac, and are fed up with fanboys. We get it, OSX is nice, and you can do some good things with it and it is stable. Fine. The difference is that the cult of mac users seem to think that the rest of the world should use it too for some reason.
Seriously guys, shut up already.
Now some mac fanboy's gonna come along and mod this down anyway, in fear that other/. users will see some truth lol.
Yes it is. It costs nothing and it is fully functional.
And where's the guarantee it will continue to be free forever? Any proof that Sun won't pull the rug out from underneath one day, especially seeing as though Solaris adoption is slowing down.
Personally, I'm writing this in FF on a Gnome FC3 desktop. I personally quite love this desktop, and find it quite usable, with a few irritants. Still waiting for a menu editor for example. CD Burning is just lame. K3b leaps and bounds ahead.
Still, KDE has a few irritants too. Why should I load a web browser when I want to just navigate the file system? Why do they insist on cramming so many icons so close together? KDE is (IMO) so damn cluttered that it's ugly. That's JMO, but I'm using it to demonstrate that both have their plusses and minuses.
My fiance's uncle, in Utah joked with us once about Utah being the highest per-capita prozac prescription state in the US. He then pointed out that Mormons couldn't drink, smoke, or do drugs. He thinks there's some conincidence there;)
Right on brother. I dated this very Christian girl for about two years. She was adament the earth was 6000 years old and man walked the earth with dinosaurs. I made fun of her dismissal of empiracle evidence as much as I could. Still waiting to hear back from her on how the Kangaroos and Koalas made it from Turkey to Australia, and only Australia...
I followed a link to Mumma's "begging for money" site somewhere else in this thread. It's been reposted a couple times. The transcript of the phone conversations is in there.

C'mon man, so I made a typo... I know how to spell league...
Not that I follow here, but I'd be willing to wager that Mozilla and OOo run just fine on a C3 running Xfce4...
I've never tried to run KDE3 on a C3 like those Linspire laptops... Perhaps you were using Gnome?
Nothing wrong with the C3 for day to day operations - Office,Email,Web, etc.
Linspire isn't exactly in the same leage as Gentoo IMO...
So a C3 is really all a Linspire user would need IMO...
JMO though - you can run whatever you please, just gotta give them credit for knowing their target market at least.
Stupid laws... You got me...
Wasn't too crazy about that one.

*= and =* are ANSI-88
ANSI-92 is LEFT OUTER JOIN and RIGHT OUTER JOIN

Thats a bargain. It took between $6 and $10 million to figure out Clinton got head from a fat girl.
And Congress seemed to care more that Clinton got head from a fat girl than they care about Bush starting a war on deceit (WMD's anyone?)
Oh yeah, this'll get modded up and down a few times haha
Or when compatibility is an issue. I've yet to see anyone implement Coldfusion on a FreeBSD server with any sort of acceptable degree of stability.
And no, linux binary compatibilty does not work with ColdFusion.
If there was Coldfusion support on FreeBSD, I'd not need Linux in my server world.

Really, there's no contract. No consideration. It's hard to spell out terms of usage without a contract IMO.
The elements of contract are:
1. Offer
2. Acceptance
3. Consideration
FYI:
4. Capacity to contract
5. Legality of Consideration
(Not that it's relevant, just FYI)

How can a child, running a K6-266 who lives in his parent's basement, have any clue what businesses use and why they use it?
Excuse me, but the XP Pro OEM license is definitely not $299.
Second of all, can you sit there and tell me that a dual G5 is as fast as a Dual Athlon 2500? I'm not so certain...
That said, throw in the cost of video editing software, and the Mac actually wins, but your comparison has some flaws in it.
And I'll bet you not a single gun related site will end up on the ban list. We had another school massacre today.
But must ban.... nipples.... Nipples that feed babies and provide life are bad. Guns that kill... Well it's protected in the constitution.

Another weird thing about the US is that pretty much the entire world wants to know your social-security number.
Partly to blame for that are the programmers, who feel that SSN is a UID for an individual.
Here in Canada it's against the law to use SIN (SSN) numers to identify people.
