I figured the documents had been parsed to show the meaningful statements SCO has made so far, and then filtered to only display the statements that help their case.
For four years, anyone who has known how to trigger the double set of books has been able to use, or sell, the information to anyone
I want the info. Who should I contact ? Is this a cash only transaction, or do they trade for presidential pardons too ?
I half wish this info was widely leaked,and the election is obviously tampered with. I would like to see them explain away the Fuck Bush / Screw Kerry ticket gathering 193% of the eligible votes.
I was duped. A google search shows that infact, they clearly are against "embryonic" stem cell research. It was spun through the reports, in a way that I left with this impression.
Bush is against stem cell research as a whole, and was specifically cutting all funding for embryonic stem cell research from US federal grants, while allowing his private business buddies to continue privately funded research on existing embryonic stem cell lines. Also, I thought he wanted to ban research of any kind towards the development of new embryonic cell lines
I don't have the impression that the media portray religous individuals as non-smart. I think Bush is portrayed as religous, and as an idiot in the press. However, I never really saw the two as being related.
Yes, you're all right. My bad, it's early on a friday here and I hit submit too quick.
Bush is against Embryonic stem cell reseaerch . . . but whenever I hear him speak on such a matter he doesn't adequately distinguish stem cell reseearch from embryonic stem cell research. I was mislead into believing he was against all stem cell research and the creation of new cell lines from stem cells.derived from aborted fetuses.
oops, sorry about that.
Why is Bush and his administration against stem cell research again ???
Wouldn't the vast majority of americans want to have this technology available to them ?
there is a world of difference between "the general idea of it", and the legal meaning of the text.
I can get the general idea, but I don't understand the full legal implications. Much of the text seems like filler to me, intentionally added to clutter the meaning of the EULA and confuse the person installing the software.
Yes, a big gun.
I already paid for software that can't be returned after being opened. The box didn't contain the eula on the outside, only after opening the package and inserting the cdrom did the EULA become available for my approval.
Click OK and trade your cash for this software, click cancel to hand us your money and not get the software.
It's forced in my opinion.
I'm not a lawyer. I can't make heads or tails out of the legal mumbojumbo in a click through agreement. They don't have a support line where I can get a line by line explanation, and I can't afford to hire a lawyer to explain them to me for each piece of software I use. I consider it a forced signature and invalid. Can we really convict someone who signed a contract when they lacked the mental abilities the comprehend the entire agreement they signed ?
I'm not.
Real was a lousy company, and I want to see them fail. It's nothing to do with the iPod, the quality of the music, DRM, choice or freedom.
Real made some dumb decisions in the past, and I am still holding those decisions against them. It's personal.
Pretty much what I was thinking. It doesn't matter how much better the new real software is, or how cheap they can sell DRM songs. The Real company pissed me off once with it's deceptive business practices, and I will never voluntarilly do business with them again.
That was one of my issues.
First for privacy reasons, they decided to only sample randomly by turning the device off and on for short periods.
Then, because it's easier for them, privacy gets tossed and they record the entire day, and sample randomly from that.
It seems to be working, 95% of people polled said they wouldn't bother to pirate this POS as long as a pirated version of the full blown windows was still available.
On Wednesday, Microsoft for the first time divulged specific information about what the Starter Editions will contain. For instance, the bare-bones operating system's screen resolution maxes out at 800-by-600, it lacks support for home networking and shared printers, and only allows three programs to be running simultaneously.
Hmmm, while the cheapo version of windows may have a market, I can think of three different kernels that support a whole GNU world of software running simultaneously, for much less money. Of course getting a networked printer to work still requires a google search.
On a more serious note, are all the little nasties that windows aquires from the web going to count towards the three processes ?
off topic . . . But I feel the grocery stores did raise the prices, and introduced the club card to give me the priviledge of paying the original price.
I suspect that this will play out as follows
1) Drivers with card get an initial discount
*time passes*
2) Intermediate state where people with device get "normal" rates, while those without device get increased rates, because they are presumed to be bad drivers. Insurance Co colelcts data for nefarious purposes . . .
**time passes, legislature involvment **
3) Device is required, and information is used to charge higher rates for individuals who might be of higher risk. Individuals with device lost privacy and lost price benefit of having the device. TFH crowd says "i told you so"
How is the 'average joe' supposed to get the data from the device on the car into a viewer so he can make an informed decision about what data is collected, and if he wants to share it with the insurance company.
If it requires taking the car to another person and having my data pass through a middleman . . . then I am already convinced the middle man is selling my data to my insurance company. I don't want this device.
If I have to blindly click "submit data" and not have the opportunity to see the data, I'm not interested.
If the device is hackable so that others are using it to lower their rates, I want one. I too will be giving my company information equivalent in value to what I give the NYT registration form.
I choose a windows PC over apple back in the early 90s because I couldn't stand the macintosh interface, and was familiar with dos. Oh, and that price thing was HUGE back then.
I choose linux over windows in the mid 90s because my early 90s computer couldn't keep up with the latest and greatest windoze offerings. I also had a fetish for the NeXT stations on campus and wanted one for myself. Linux was as close to a NeXT box as I could afford.
I recently choose Apple over PC hardware running GNU/Linux because of the polished interface and better fonts. Apple has also been scratching my NeXT craving quite well lately too.

I get the same result in Safari.

OMG. . . I've been googling for weeks and never came across these. Thanks so much, exactly what I was looking for, and priced to buy.

I can just fly the money to the corner and return with a 3 gram package.
Pretty much what I was thinking. It doesn't matter how much better the new real software is, or how cheap they can sell DRM songs. The Real company pissed me off once with it's deceptive business practices, and I will never voluntarilly do business with them again.

it looks like the information is being hidden by a slashdotted executable.
the ferret/weasel appears to be choking himself with his own hands . . . Symbolic of the industry ?
FlameBait ??? I thought this was informative, funny and insightful.

But I can't afford to add another device to my already overloaded electrical outlets.
Corporate mispeak, or is the problem the guy rented the dvd, instead if owning it ?
OO.o isn't good enough. Of course MS Office isn't good enough either, unless all parties agree to buy every new release of the suite.
