Judging by the revolving release date of Vista, I wouldn't say they're capable of doing the unbundling any faster. Let's face it. That's how long it's taking them to do something that they really really want to get finished...
But they would have to prove that you downloaded it from them, and clicked "I agree" yourself, right? You aren't bound by another party's agreement if you downloaded it from a third party, who didn't offer the same download agreement.
I don't use iTunes, but I had a problem with a new version of Nero doing the same. Try (if iTunes gives the chance) lowering the burn rate of the CDRW. If I burn at 8-12X it works when 16X+ doesn't (at least they don't in cars).
The advantage of XP over 98, IMHO, is the stability. My XP machine almost never has any stability problems. In contrast, 98 had a lot of them. That alone is worth the upgrade for me.
I know, I know... try a BSD or Linux for stability. If the apps were equally available (games, especially) I'd be with you.
According to the site, they only have Freeware and Shareware. Unless the software companies are using some weird definition of the two, he SHOULD be able to legally distribute. Can you retract a shareware license?
The ISP Service may not be used to breach or attempt to breach the security, the computer, the software or the data of any person or entity, including Operator, to circumvent the user authentication features or security of any host, network or account, to use or distribute tools designed to compromise security, or to interfere with another?s use of the ISP Service through the posting or transmitting of a virus or other harmful item to deliberately overload or flood that entity's system.
You'll notice, like I said, that there is no provision for "unless he asked for it".
So if I were to say, "I'm tired of my life. Please use this gun and shoot me in the head." and you did, do you think you aren't going for a ride in the back of the police car?
Perhaps an extreme analogy, but I highly doubt that your ISP's TOS or applicable laws have a clause for "unless they asked for it".
If I have to deal with bugs and patches, I'd rather have Gates & Co. take the time to do the patch correctly. Having a fast, bad patch hose my system would upset me more than a slow, good patch that MIGHT leave me vulnerable for an exploit that MIGHT get through my firewall, router, and AV and MIGHT hose my system.
(Please, bring forth all the comments about how I don't have to deal with bugs and patches if I switch to _______ now.)
Since when have software developers accepted any responsibility whatsoever for their own software, let alone the effect it has on peripheral applications or the OS at large? Ever read all the disclaimers in the typical EULA? What makes anyone think that DRM software is going to be any different?
It will only work for senders in the US, and that's assuming it would work at all. For the rest of the world, it's a free list of valid email accounts.

I was thinking the same thing to both your posts. Don't let the man get you down.
Don't forget GFS.

If a computer can convert it that easily then it's also pretty easy for a person to learn the other.
The computer converts source code to binary pretty easily, too.
Additionally, the company will let Chinese users know when search results are being censored
I thought they already did... No?
GTA's not worth a cup of hot coffee.

Matching steel bracelets? Just because LJ encourages it doesn't make it legal. At the very least, it's probably a violation of the TOS of your ISP.
1) Avoiding a possible unfair competition suit.
2) To be able to sell the service on a monthly fee basis.
He downloaded the source from a P2P program. My mother could do that.

Really? Would she be interested in selling it? Please, speak a little louder...
Not according to CNN. See Point #45 where Choicepoint SOLD the information several times, including to an identity theft ring.
An un-slashdottable server.
What exactly is your definition of successful? Or did you mean written by you? If so, that may not be Java's fault.
For the ultimate noise:signal ratio, I prefer the news.yahoo.com message boards. It makes all other turds look shiny.
Nice to see the Oboe finally getting the respect it deserves!

There was a prompt. It just installed itself anyway.
...violated state laws because it was [installed] even if users rejected a license agreement.

Do we really need laws to keep kids from buying whiskey on the internet? What ever happened to parental supervision?
