The Canadian government will pay you for those missiles, just as long as you don't actually create them. We like to refer to it as our "Save Canada" program. We pretend to buy the little paper Canadian flags (we pay for them, we just don't pick them up), and we've decieded we could use your missiles as well. Please note we pay in cash only (Canadian loonies ONLY!)
Reminds me of my old boss. Called me into his office to tell me I was safe and needed, asked me to do some after-hours work to help train his son, then fired me and hired his son to my position... nice..
The funny part, he was a manager, and he didn't have a clue what our products name was, he knew the acronym but didn't know the full name (even after being told TWICE!). Talk about a clueless dolt.. So anyways, the manager still works there, and now, the company is going downhill due to customers complaining that his department "Doesn't know which way UP is" (true statement from a customer).. Guess that 2 nights of training wasn't sufficent compared to my 5 years of experience..
The broken link was due to the fact I post in Plain Text and not HTML...
1. Same thing, it is a civil matter, i.e. Adobe..
2. The DMCA says it's against the law to break into someones code.. I don't really see your point there, it's the same thing..
3. Actually, it's not cable, it's satellite, but yeah, anyways.. The are not modifing the hardware at all, they are modifing the SOFTWARE on the card, same thing..
4. Again, they are NOT modifing hardware, it's software. You are _not_ renting those cards, you pay for them (as was noted in the link I posted). If you lose the card, you spend $80 to get a new one, there is no rental agreement other then what's printed on the back of the card (which is what we were discussing).
Line breaks are good.. I just use Plain Text since you don't have to worry about that.. Too bad it screws up links..
The governement does it too, read the back of a bus card sometime...
You can sign away your own rights, you are "signing" the contract simply by purchasing it, and in some cases, they explicitly say you are purchasing there SERVICES and the equipment is actually theirs..
As a previous poster pointed out you should buy them used. This helps the "little guy" and the artist in the end, but still takes money from the RIAA. Also, the cd's WILL only cost 5-10 bucks!
That was one of the best 2 line posts I've seen in a long time!
You make an excellent point, and I plan on promoting used cd's to all my friends, what a better way to help the little guy! Most people I know that do download music also buy the cd's, I must push them to start buying them used.
Kinda like modifing gasoline with fertilizer? Technically I _own_ both products, right?
Ever notice on the back of many products it says "This is the sole property of XXXX, all rights reserved, duplication, modification, or passing this to a friend is illegal" yadda yadda (for example the back of a satellite card for your TV will have this warning)... Does that explain it? You may not think it's right, but then, nobody is forcing you into purchasing the product in the first place...
Your might be right but I'm sick of your trolling so your gonna have to and start with someone else, although I do plan on using your whenever possible, and someone whenever not possible, is that okay with your?
whoa yours server's been comprimised..

Ahh, I see your point now. Sorry, I thought you were saying that modifying an NDS card was not modifying software, my mistake.
It's getting to crazy to figure out all this stuff, I'm sure the DMCA will be amended soon... (hopefully?!)
Wow, I wonder if good 'ole Darl submitted this or what? I'm sure it's mandatory reading over at SCO.
Assuming your code is all Y2K compliant this is true, if not it still has to be updated.
Modern mainframes still take punch cards too!
I code for mainframes and I can tell you most of the source code has comments from the 70's and early 80's, it's pretty neat to see that stuff.

It's very iffy, and depends on your local laws, here is a great discussion on this exact topic, regarding NDS access cards:

I wonder if they could sue you for pointing out the vault isn't locked during day-time hours?
Sweet:
1. Create really shitty code.
2. Claim code is UNHACKABLE and will detect ANY unknown virus
3. Wait to get hacked (should take about 2 minutes)
4. Sue hacker(s).
5. Profit!
6. Sell your crappy code to microsoft
7. More profit!!
