The solution to that is simple. Include Oracle and put it dead last in every category. Explain that the license doesn't allow testing so therefore it didn't even get out of the gate in the tests.
Yep. I had the same problem at work. Just replace Photoshop CS with Premiere Pro 1.5 for my situation. I now get keygens for all programs I buy as a matter of course.
The contract defines the relationship between me and Gandi. It doesn't define the status of the domain in relation to the rest of the world. Read my other comment.
You're honestly comfortable using a company which lies to you in such a blatant, up-front manner?
Why do you say they are lying to me? Their contract defines the relationship between myself and them regarding the domain name I'm registering. They state that I "own" the domain and that they are agents acting on my behalf. Contrast this to registrars like Network Solutions whose contract states that you do not own the domain, they do. They have the right to revoke use of the domain name at any time, for any reason, without financial consideration. Gandi's contract prevents them from acting in this matter without breaching the contract.
Devices that do video... have not been successful yet.
Right. I don't want to watch a whole movie on my iPod screen. However, something short like a music video purchased via iTMS is something I could go for. In fact, that seems like an untapped market. Can you purchase music videos, at least without purchasing an entire DVD with every video ever made for an artist? There are some nice music videos out there that I would pay 99 cents to download.
I don't understand how this story even got posted. If there was ever a non-story, this is it. Some guy lets his domain name expire, it's registered by someone else, and then he publicly gripes about it on slashdot. So you didn't get a notice. So what? Cry me a river. It's ultimately your responsibility to make sure your own bills are paid. If my electric bill or mortgage notice gets lost in the mail and I never receive it, it's still my responsibility to make sure it's paid on time.
Some advice:
Do a whois and check your domain expiration date. Pay your renewal early rather than waiting until the last minute (or last month).
Renew your domain for several years at a time rather than once a year. Domain fees are cheap. If you're paying over $15 you're paying too much.
If you have a lot of domain names make yourself a spreadsheet with all of your domain information including the expiration dates. Check it on the first of each month to see if a domain is going to need to be renewed soon.
If you use a personal information manager such as MS Outlook, Evolution, or KDE PIM, create a yearly recurring task to remind yourself to renew the domain two or three months before it's due.
The instructions I gave are for the beta. You even quoted the part saying it was for FireFox beta. Try and see if the about:config option is available. I've only recently switched to Firefox and have never used anything earlier than the 1.5alpha releases (Deer Park) so I don't know where the appropriate options would be for 1.0.6.
Incorrect. You don't need a lawyer to talk to a lawyer. It's probably that kind of incorrect assumption that led them change the web site instead of deal with the lawyer.
Considering that a simple cease and desist was sufficient to force CentOS to scrub references on its web site to the phrase "Red Hat" and other such trademarks...
No one forced CentOS to do anything. A letter from a lawyer isn't a legal decree. It's a start of a conversation. There was nothing preventing the CentOS people from opening a dialogue with RedHat's lawyers to work out an agreement that would satisfy both sides. The CentOS people chose not to pursue that dialogue and instead just remove all references to RedHat from their web site.
I am baffled what either Debian/kFreeBSD or the FreeBSD Foundation is waiting for.
How do you know that those people have not already worked out appropriate agreements for the use of those trademarks?
Does someone, someplace offer an early warning service that notifies them when Slashdot has linked to them, so that they may take their servers offline in advance of an avalanche of connections?
Why not just block connections from Slashdot? Better safe than sorry.

Database required? Are you nuts?
on
Gallery 2.0 Released
·
· Score: 0, Flamebait
Database (Gallery 2 only) - MySQL 3.x or 4.x, PostgreSQL 7.x, Oracle 9i or 10g (Gallery 1.x does NOT require a database)
Are you fucking kidding me? A database is required? Not optional if you don't want a few features, but required? I have to create another database user with yet another password just to display some pictures with thumbnails? Since I'd be using Gallery 1 because of this ridiculous requirement I have to ask, is Gallery 1 going to continue to be supported?
But what are you generating the hash from? The directory name? And why generate it at all rather than just use the first two characters of the domain name?

Why not just block the ads?
It's a floor wax and a desert topping. Both links go to the same place.
I think what the GP poster meant was that in an emergency, they aren't going to give a rat's ass whether they need a license or not.

Ahh, I now see what you mean. I guess it could be interpreted either way. Maybe I interpreted it the wrong way.
If you prefer to use about:config then change accessibility.typeaheadfind to false.
Then create a new account and choose United States as your country when prompted for personal information.
But what are you generating the hash from? The directory name? Are you just taking the first two (or four) characters from the hash?
