EULA? This was around 1987 and I bought it used at a garage sale, which back then meant that I actually became the legal owner of the game. Not even sure if there was a EULA on the new games. It was too long ago.
But again, I was 14 years old. If they want to sue me because I didn't read the EULA, they can go ahead and try.
Hope claims that while it is illegal for countries to stake a claim on the moon, it is legal for individuals and corporations to.
Legal according to whom? I suppose if you have a problem you could take it up with the Lunar Police. Perhaps they'll throw Hope into the Lunar Jail, and he can speak to a Lunar Lawyer about clarifications on Lunar Law.
After all, most of us probably bought the game, which means you bought the Music License along with the game.
My cartridge was defective and apart, but Nintendo wouldn't send me a replacement. However, I still retain the rights to the music and provide this music to others who are in the same situation.
Please do not download any music which you do not own. Thank you.
I wonder if I could use this crackpot strategy with audio tapes. My Metallica tapes are also defective, and stopped playing after a few years. I still retain the license, right?
but there are few things more irratating & detremental to productivity than an angry/whiny co-worker.
An angry/whiny CEO is even more annoying. "I want it next week, and I want it done cheaper, better, faster. Now, I'm going to go play golf with other CEOs, get to work."
Somehow I doubt this anti-whining requirement applies to the management team
Did anyone get any real educational value out of them?
I did-- I had an Apple IIe in my 5th & 6th grade classrooms, and I did some programming in Basic & Logo on the system, learned some basic hardware skills.
I tucked those skills away for 10-15 years, but I still think that they helped me to solve logic problems, basic computer hardware skills. I majored in science/humanities major in College, but somehow I still ended up being a Senior System Administrator for a number of companies.
Another way to ask this question: Will the students be at a disadvantage if they do not have tools like a Computer in the classroom?
Obviously they need a roof, teacher, books, etc. But other tools can be valuable as well.

sub-$100 devices already
Most cell phones are not really sub-$100 devices. Their true cost of a web-enabled phone is often well over $100, but the true cost is hidden somewhere in the 1 to 2 year contract with the provider.
Plus, the interface on a Computer is superior then the interface on a mobile phone for many tasks.
This sounds silly, but the traditional way to "sell out" of an item is to lower it's price. Keeping the price high by artificial fixed prices means that it's hard to "sell out".
I briefly considered buying an Xbox360, but then I saw the price. Forget it. My 3 year old computer provides enough game power for my needs. Maybe I'll buy a used console in a year or two.
The Mozilla Project has some impressive download servers. However, it still seems like they could take advantage of using Bittorrent, but the Mozilla tracker doesn't host 1.5.
Well then, this is a good thing. Maybe SCO should realize that their kernel shouldn't contain an endless while(true) loop-- that explains many problems.
I'm still pissed over the fact that they got rid of their command line installer, among other installer issues. (Like, why oh why do you need a graphical environment to perform a silent install? It's like the marketing department designed the installers)
Generally my production machines don't have any graphical capabilities-- No X, no monitor, videocard or keyboard. Ethernet and a Serial Console provide all the connectivity we need.
If a GUI is required for installation, can I install Oracle on these machines? Does Oracle allow you to do a remote install?
I can't even install the damn thing. The installer (Oracle 9i) crashes 75% of the time-- if I forget to set the "fileHandlerFooBar" property to 95,000 files (or something), then the Oracle installer should COMPLAIN and TELL ME, but instead it encounters an unexpected exception and crashes. Beautiful.
The fact that the 9i installer uses Java 1.1 and I need to tweak a dozen low-level OS settings just to install Oracle does not inspire confidence. This makes sense for a high-end production database, but it doesn't always make sense for a development machine.
I shouldn't need a DBA just to install the software on a test machine.

You sure about that? Men account for a large percentage of their sales-- I don't have the source, but I remember that men accounted for over 50% of Victoria's Secret sales 10 years ago. Many of the ad campaigns, the "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" are directed at men. I wouldn't be suprised if they tried to do the same on a college campus.
I used to receive Victoria's Secret catalogs, and they knew I was a man. The prices were a good 10% cheaper then in the catalogs they sent to women. There was a failed lawsuit about this a decade ago...
Joss (IIRC, maybe it was Tim) said that one of the main reasons that Fox axed Firefly was that (and I paraphrase here) the women were "too strong" and the men were "too weak".
You would think Fox would appreciate that Firefly had one of the sexiest casts in any SciFi/Fantasy show-- the women were hot, and being strong made them even hotter. Kaylee, anyone? She's even cuter carrying around those tools. The men were hot (Even according to my feminist woman friends), and darnit, Mal and the Doc had a sensitive side, which made them even HOTTER. It was even (*gasp*) a couples show!
And gosh, and I even liked the plots and the story of the human diaspora.
Can you imagine Victoria's Secret being promoted to the same general group as Cartoon Network? What's next, teaming up with Nickelodeon to put Invader Zim on a crotchless panty?
Why not? Honestly, all three are promoted along marijuana on most campuses.

If I remember right, both Evolution and Firefox rely on GTK or Gnome libaries for the fonts & character sets. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Have you done any other updates recently?

Yeah, but then the Tick will destroy the laser and the moon will only say "Son" instead of "Sony" and then people will get really confused.
That is, until Chairface builds a Laser-eraser.

I sell it on eMule, for free.

My guess is that they plan to sell their commercialized applications using Mono.

If that's true, then I wonder why they cut some of the Mono staff. Consolidation of the Mono sales team into the Novell Sales Team, or something?
From the article:
"There have been minimal cuts in Mono [an open-source implementation of Microsoft's
RedHat, Sun and Novell all now standardize on Gnome, correct? Do any major distros standardize on KDE anymore?

I'm curious if it's just Google or if other sites are down as well?
www.google.com and talk.google.com both died for me. Then I went to sleep.

Well done Nestle. Next you'll be making beer that is murky, has no head and tastes like bitter burnt beans. Good luck to you.
It's so powerful, it blew out Google's servers!
