If every one of those people infected had updated their Windows in a timely fashion they wouldn't have been infected. Could the MSBlaster virus infect Macs? No, of course not. But another virus could be created just as easily to take advantage of the stupidty of users on the Mac, and that was his point.
Virsues are preventable on all operating systems and viruses are feasible on all operating systems.
The Court finds the EULAs and TOU are enforceable under the UCC. First, the defendants
did not purchase the Blizzard software, rather they purchased a license for the software. A sale
consists in the passing of title from the seller to the buyer. Mo. Rev. Stat. 400.2-106(1) (2000).
When defendants purchased the games, they bought a license to use the software, but did not buy the
software.
The Court finds that the license agreements are enforceable contracts under both California
and Missouri law. California courts have enforced end user license agreements, which are valid under
California law. See Adobe Sys. Inc. v. One Stop Micro, Inc., 84 F.Supp.2d 1086, 1089-93 (N.D. Cal.
2000) (end user license agreement valid under California law); Hotmail Corp. v. Van$Money Pie,
Inc., No. C-98-20064, 1998 WL 388389, at *6 (N.D. Cal. 1998) (applying California law, plaintiff
likely to prevail on breach of contract claim regarding clickwrap agreement).
Lets say I make a DVD Player. This DVD player accepts configuration files for specific movies containing nothing but time periods in it. The DVD Player can be instructerd to either skip these periods, or mute them. You think that this constitutes a violation of the producer's rights? If so, what part of copyright or other law do you feel applies?
But the religious right are behind a key part of the bill that makes it ok to release "edits" for movies regardless of what they do to those movies without either the consent of the artist, or at least honouring the artist by allowing them to have their names removed from the edited work.
Sorry, but the bill specifically does not allow for the distribution of edited copies of the film. The exemption only applies if "no fixed copy of the altered version of the motion picture is created by such computer program or other technology."
The bill only allows for technology to automatically skip parts of movies. This is something that was never illegal to do in the first palce, as it couldn't possibly be construed as copyright infringement as no reproduction is taking place. However, the MPAA seems to think they are entitled to royalties for whatever reason, and the bill was created to stop them from suing the makers of the filtering technology out of existence.
The original ruling was about forcing campaigns to deduct internet posts from their financing limits as advertisements. While the ruling was stupid, it didn't involved regulating the internet, but rather the candidates.
Doesn't anyone find it odd that open source software seems to be so threatened by software patents and closed source products seem fine? Why are open source projects so reliant on patented techniques, and if they are infringing what are they bringing new to the table anyway?
Patents are simply meant to be an economic incentive to share your inventions. Whether any products are produced inventor is pretty irrelevant to achieving that goal.
What does this have to do with feedom of speech? You can still say whatever you want, the candidates just have to account for your endorsement in their financing limits.
My point is that having a reader with a number of charges logged on it is not equivalent to cash. You then have to get VISA to pay you for the accumulated charges. A legitimate store owner might be able to do this, but it wouldn't be particularly smart. They'd be forced to cover the chargebacks, and would lose the ability to accept VISA cards. They may also face criminal charges. The post I was replying to suggested stealing a reader, but that wouldn't work as you'd have no way of converting the charges into cash.
And how exactly do you expect this to make you any money? Cash is magically going to fly out of their credit card and into your bank account? Or do you actually expect VISA to start cutting checks to your house for charges made on your stolen card reader?
No, he is threatening to move it to the United States in an attempt to manipulate the law.
And? Its a competitive marketplace. If Denmark's laws don't provide the business climate he is looking for, why should he keep his business there? It is no different than saying if you don't lower corporate taxes we'll take our business elsewhere.
Watergate is different. Deepthroat was under no legal obligation not to reveal the information. Therefore, the journalists had no legal obligation to reveal their source.
Care to cite some cases? Here in Rhode Island, a TV reporter (Jim Taricani) is serving a six month house-arrest term for contempt of court. His crime? Refusing to turn over his source. His source actually revealed himself in an attempt to save the journalist, but to no avail.
Seems like Google hasn't taken to kindly to Microsoft's recent launch of the new MSN Search. Last week they moved Google Local to the front page in an apparent effort to meet Microsoft's localization feature. This move looks to me like an attempt at meeting Microsoft's Encarta integration.
I tried the query you suggested in MSN and got a number of very useful C# learning resources that I used in the past when I was picking up the language. Google returned sites with information on the language and comparisons. I wouldn't say either is worse than the other, they are just different. MSN also returned the Mono homepage on the first page.
I think they allocate a certain number of blocks for cheap local commercials. Atleast some affiliates must, because I've always seen crappy budget local ads during the superbowl in the few TV markets I have lived in.

Coca-Cola isn't a made-up name. Its a combination of Coca beans and Cola nuts.

IBM demoed these for us several weeks ago, I didn't think its existence was a secret. Was a pretty nice tablet, in my opinion.
The term has also been used for well over 150 years in the court system. Long before the [RI|MP]AA existed.

What, you mean like how Office isn't available on Macs?

Its not theft, right? AOL wasn't deprived of any property!
