Yes, but under the GPL, the person you sell to has the same rights you do. So they can just turn around and make it available for anyone to download for free. So unless you were planning to just sell to just one person, the GPL effectively prevents you from making money by selling your software.
Bull. Processes started by the installer process inherit the installer's process token.
I run as non-admin and use runas to install things all of the time.
I think that Norton Antivirus is spyware, or malware, or whatever. All I know is that I have on several occasions had to get the "Norton Removal Tool" to get NAV off when it totally hoses a machine. If I need a separate program to remove your program, that fits my definition of "software where the authors need to be beaten with a stick."
I actually RTFL (legislation), and I have a couple of points to add:
1. The provisions of this bill only apply if the infringement is "for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain." As I read it, this means that somebody who puts it up on Kazaa or BitTorrent is not covered by this bill unless they say, work for Paramount and put a Fox production up just to screw Fox out of profits.
2. The bill specifically defines "being prepared for commercial distribution" for movies to mean that it has been released in theaters but not "in a format intended to permit viewing outside a [theater]."
I happen to like the GameCube. The controller is very ergonomic, unlike the Xbox (IMHO).
And anyone who thinks that there aren't great games or that all of the games are for kids is nuts. My game of choice for the last 9 months has been 007 Nightfire (there are Xbox and PS2 editions as well). It is one of the best games I've ever played. I once played 007 Agent Under Fire on the PS2. Apparently, the maker had decided that getting the exploitation rights to put Pierce Brosnan's face on the character wasn't worth it, the play control sucked, and the weapons and gadgets were lame.
You know what drives me insane? The Windows OpenAFS client requires Admin rights. Turns out that to thwart user stupidity, they have the daemon put open ports through the Windows Firewall when it starts. This of course requires Admin rights. (Actually, considering that most people run with Admin rights all of the time, being able to modify the firewall config programmatically defeats the whole purpose of having a firewall.)
Last month Popular Science ran an article where the labeled Minneapolis the most technologically advanced city in the US. I guess this just reinforces that.
It seems like everybody is getting on the muni WiFi bandwagon. My boss said he was driving from Champaign, IL to St. Louis last week, and some dot-on-the-map town along the way had muni WiFi. It's crazy.
Ahem. It's name is "The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign."
And our ACM tied for 17th with about 5 other schools. Not a terribly good performance, but considering that the people who went probably weren't even the top coders in our ACM, and how much time they spent sightseeing instead of studying and training as I'm sure the other teams did, I think it's respectable. UIUC is home to the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, which developed Mosaic, a graphical web browser, long before most people had ever heard of the WWW.
Anyone who thinks that our performance in this contest is indicative of the quality of CS education at this University should come to CS Days and see the programs that students in this department build, and in their spare time to boot.
The accepted scientific definition of a law is a rule based on observation that predicts other observations. So basically, Moore noticed that the number of transistors per unit area was doubling every 18 months and said it would continue to do so, and so far it has. A theory is a possible explanation for an observed behavior. They're two entirely different creatures, not degrees of certainly as you suggest.
