Of course people will go for this, because it's legal and it's Microsoft. I don't think the fact that you can only reinstall your operating system twice is neither well advertised nor a point Joe Public would care about (until it happens of course).
Wait a minute, doesn't this lock people into using Windows? Could be monopolistic behaviour, and this could at least get them a rap on the knuckles from the European court.
And "Saddam Hussien's weapons of mass destruction pose a very real and potent threat, and can be launched with in 45 minutes" is true then?:) It's a new kind of anti-logic, Intel logic.
Having read all 5 books in the triology, I would have hoped that there would be a decent film version of it (well, I guess I haven't seen it yet). I have to say, the film adverts at least showed some promise:)
Holy. I can't believe this. O well, if I shoplift and knife someone, I'll get less time in prison. This shows how much a corporate-pandering administration the Bush government is. And it's the truth:/ No sane government would pass laws that favour a company's sucess over the enviroment (the failing to sign the Kyoto treaty being one example).
The truth is, filesharers are easier to catch and less risky.
Simple, don't buy from Adaptec until they release information about their hardware or documentation. Hit them where it hurts financially, and they'll listen.
Or just spite them by reverse-engineering an existing driver?:)
Either use a fairly weak encryption key (64 bits might do, I don't know) or send every other byte in the file, seek back to the beginning and send the remaining bytes. I don't see how this is an effective tactic against piracy, the days of unencrypted p2p will be ending anyway.
Mute (google for 'mute p2p') is one good example of a next-generation file sharing network (there's a range of 512-4096 byte keys available) and it doesn't link to a central server, doesn't give out your ip address to mute routers. The only problem is it just doesn't seem to have much content.

It'll be those Indian guys complaining about outsourcing next ;) What goes around comes around I reckon :)
