Therefore, we strongly advise that each new PC that will be running a Microsoft Operating System be pre- installed with an OEM version of the Operating System. The alternative would be to purchase retail product, at greater cost and inconvenience to your customers.
Emphasis mine. They do specify this applies to computers that will be running Windows.
It's not on the individual worker's conscience if his employer is unwilling to provide fair compensation for work. Should the IT workers also make coffee for the taxpayers if their employers tell them to? After all, if the employee refuses, the taxpayer gets worse service. Think before opening mouth, next time.
Those definitions are NOT completely interchangable. Look, infringement is a violation, stealing is a taking. Violation is not perfectly equivalent to taking, no matter what you want to think.
The whole "this is a good thing" argument is fine with me, except for the slight fact that it still leaves Intel being underhanded about how hot the P4 runs. With insufficient cooling, it runs at 1/2 speed at 53 Watts. They quote maximum performance, but quote the 53 Watt number, saying it is better than the T-Bird 1.33, instead of the more equivalent 73. At least, that's the issue I have here.
if youre writing a quick response, theres no need to use every grammatical rule. also, some traditional rules are unnecessary or even counterproductive in modern society. capitalizing the personal "i" has no point in a typed document, as the archaic worry of it not being seen for being small is not a concern with machine typesets. also, putting punctuation inside quotes at the end of a sentence is bad in computer writing. for example "type 'edit autoexec.bat'". if the period were in the quotes, an error message would result. note that i am capable of using the subjunctive, and am a language freak. hand.
It's HIGHLY unlikely that someone is going to make a killing selling absolutely perfect recreations of your paintings. Long copyrights are more for text/code/music, which are easy to perfectly or effectively perfectly reproduce, and in demand to a very large number of people. Paintings aren't the issue when it comes to copyright.
Oh, I'm not bitter, none of the Apple-freaks I've known ever had the better toys, they were always wishing they could play noteworthy games. Yes, they can now, but only recently. Apple never seems to get it quite right, the Wintel side then manages to get a usable version out the door.
We may not be surprised, but would you say she DESERVED to get raped, and that the rapists shouldn't be punished, and severely? You still can't justify that statement.
That doesn't even leave an UPGRADED '86 Amiga at nearly the performance of the '95 PC, I know i was getting at least 30 fps at 800x600 in quake in '95. I concede your point that Amigas were much better, but in the future, please try to keep it realistic.
Does Napster have a "Users who liked this music also liked..." feature? I know Audiogalaxy does, that's how I found out about Oomph and Megaherz, who are like and as good as Rammstein but virtually unknown in America, including to my German teacher.
Bait and swich doesn't mean that the company offers you something and gives you something else with no warning at all. It means that the company entices you with false promises, then gets you to spend on something different once you're at their store/website. And those cycles/bandwidth aren't free, they're expended.
But their TOS does NOT say "in order to display it for you." It allows them to do anything they desire with your email, which happens to include sending it, but far from guarantees that is all they want those rights for.
Obviously Microsoft's advance to that stage was insignificant, because everyone who wanted a computer had an Amiga and was using it's nice GUI to set up networks, play Quake, and do work. This caused Windows 95 to fail in the market and Microsoft to go out of business.
Yes, Apple does know some things very well. Great. They can't implement jack for shit. I've used MacOS, I've used Windows 3.11 through Whistler beta2, and yes, Microsoft rips them off, but always, as far as I'm concerned, makes it better than Apple's. In hardware, Apple makes cool toys, but can't get enough people to buy them to make economy of scale happy, and it fizzles, then the Wintel side pulls it off, and you guys get bitter.
Both of your points are completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand. Machines incapable of pretty GUIs are less likely to be used by newbies who want a pretty interface and more likely to be a firewall for a *nix wizard. The installer could detect the graphics power of the system and disable the GUI installer if appropriate.
Scriptable installs are more likely to be for corporate settings, again where the end user will not be performing the install. This would be wonderful, but not for bringing BSD to the average person.
