Also, there is nothing stopping the Movie industry from attacking DVD-Recorders and VCR's, they simply haven't. I honestly think if they wanted to go up against DVD-Recorders they would have a good enough case to cause legislation forcing VCR Recorders to lock down the types of recording they can do.
'They provide a facility that is able to be used for copyright infringement purposes. If they don't like having to deal with copyright notices then they should get out of the business.'
Next stop, having DVD-Recorders and VCRs removed from the shelves of your local super store... you know... for providing a facility that is able to be used for copyright infringement purposes.
I don't know. Knowing selling the Navy computer components you KNOW would fail, to me, would fall into "giving aid to the enemy". We could argue intention/motivation, but a crime is a crime, regardless what you meant.
Every few years, there is yet another theory that claims to be better suited for our models than Einstein's. Then they realize they overlooked something and find Einstein's idea fit better than ever.
No, it isn't. It almost never has been. If you needed a 'high end' graphics card to play a majority of PC games reasonably, they wouldn't be 'high end' anymore... they would be standard.
As soon as they inflict it on other people, they're crossing a line.
Hey, I'm with you on that too. But we must be fair! We need to ban the cause of grannies to smell repulsively of mothballs and urine. We need to ban Axe body spray because getting into an elevator with an over-sweaty jock who decided to bathe in it than an actual shower, makes me sick to the stomach, and I have to shower just to get the smell off of me. And how about the fat asshole RMS lookalike at McDonalds who wears shoes so old that the sole is kept on with duct tape that is moldy... and you can smell on the other side of the restaurant.
If this doesn't make sense to you, please jump off a bridge.
I don't speak for everyone, obviously, however, I am a two-year school graduate. Almost all of my classes had something to do with coding or algorithms or business rules. Pretty much every class I took for those two years applied to what I was going to do. 4-year schools, this is obviously not the case. You are required so many electives that have nothing to do with your goals. You can try your best to minor in something that might closely indirectly relate to what you are doing, but that is still a stretch attempt to make it connect. Fact of the matter is, most of the time, a whole 4-year bachelor degree is half crap that doesn't even matter. To even entertain they had more "quality" education because they spend more time and money on the whole ordeal is absurd.
Obviously there is an inclination to assume people who went to a two-school is because they are "lazy" and they are "compromising" their potential by taking the "easy, cheap" way out. If you are arguing that isn't true, it is quite apparent your four-year school didn't give you any sense. I spent less, got more education, and faster turn around. It was a conscious cost/benefit analysis. Win-Win if you ask me.
Women had plug-n-play back in the beginning of time. I always find it amusing when Amiga users get all excited about stuff primates were doing at the start of civilization. "Hey look. My Amiga can be turned off!" or "My Amiga gets hot flashes!"
Or if they're not capable of working that out they'll just post whiny little messages on Slashdot about how their freedoms are being repressed by the big bad company that chose not to support hardware they don't even ship.
ARTHUR: Please, please good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?
WOMAN: No one live there.
ARTHUR: Then who is your lord?
WOMAN: We don't have a lord.
ARTHUR: What?
DENNIS: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
ARTHUR: Yes.
DENNIS: But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting.
ARTHUR: Yes, I see.
DENNIS: By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,--
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: --but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more--
ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
WOMAN: Order, eh -- who does he think he is?
ARTHUR: I am your king!
WOMAN: Well, I didn't vote for you.
ARTHUR: You don't vote for kings.
WOMAN: Well, how did you become king then?
ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king!
DENNIS: Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went around saying I was an empereror just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!
ARTHUR: Shut up! Will you shut up!
DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!
ARTHUR: Bloody peasant!
DENNIS: Oh, what a give away. Did you here that, did you here that, eh? That's what I'm on about -- did you see him repressing me, you saw it didn't you?
As a marketing strategy. See, it seems most people when needing an so-easy-to-use-a-caveman-can-do-it DB server, they choose MySQL. Sometimes it is used in a small project that grows well beyond its britches. Since MySQL is more or less just a front end to a pluggable back end storage system, then those folks who find themselves with such a project can go from MySQL->MySQL with "dependable" Oracle backend->Oracle.
To put it in a little more perspective, the industry, whoever is fighting digital distribution and any kind of piracy... make it easier and more appealing to purchase your product than pirate it. It really is that simple.
iTunes and the likes are a perfect example. I consider my time pretty valuable to me, so when a song pops in my head that I haven't heard in 10 years, and I want to listen to it, to me, it is more beneficial to me to just spend the.99 cents on a song than it is to waste a good hour hunting down a torrent or similar and wait for it to download, just to possibly find out it wasn't what I was looking for.
Steam is another great example. I'd rather pony up $5 to buy The Dig than to scour the internet for hours trying to find a pirated version, just to wait hours/DAYS! to get it, only to find out that it was a CLASS release (remember those folks!?) with no sound and video compressed so bad that you can't make out what you are seeing.
Your post seems most appropriate to add the few "differences" I have come across:
1) Windows 7 seems to play "old" games that no hacking in the world could get to work on anything but windows of its era on hardware of its era (Phantasmagoria2, TLC). Phantasmagoria 2 would just GPF if it wasn't on Windows 9x and hardware of the time (VMs would GPF too). TLC was an interactive movie that REQUIRED a dedicated hardware MPEG decoder card. I don't know what it does, but every Windows OS previous, it would flat out refuse to work. These are only a couple of examples of games running better that I have experienced. 2)Older DirectX games have issues. Age of Empires II has a corrupted pallet when playing in Windows 7 (I found killing explorer fixes this for some reason). Also, if you have a multi-monitor setup, then old DirectX games won't change the resolution of the monitor (so if you are playing Diablo II at 800x600, instead of setting the monitor resolution to 800x600, you get the game in an 800x600 box with a black border filling in the rest of the current resolution).
I could see this as true, but not for the obvious reasons. Likely, people with this "particular gene" come from the same indirect family tree. This family can have learned behavior they pass on to their offspring of "not paying attention".

... and use pfsense. My Intel CPU mini-itx board, with processor and ram was $100 and it works better than any consumer grade, BestBuy special router.

As an example, if you think about the medieval era and how you moved around, there we're basically two options:
1) by horse
Not only that, but if you were pulling a wagon and heading toward Oregon, you were likely to be killed by a bout of dysentery.

Rushing is an elementary strategy. You should learn to defend against it rather than complaining that it isn't far (in a war simulation game no less).

Bah. You can't count those Europeans as a whole person!
Kan you ceep the noise down?! Kan't you cee come of uc are trying to cleep, kokc!
If you can't see a monopoly abuse on Intel's part at this point, I'd say you are the one with the agenda.
Besides, isn't doing good things so that you can get reelected SUPPOSED to be the way things should work?
I'm betting $50 you are an (Army/Navy/RandomUSArmedForces) mechanic. Any takers?
The corollary to that rule is that many applications won't run because they're poorly architected and require administrative rights to run
ThinApp and forget it!
Because I am the customer. I am always right... at least if you want my money.
