I'll second this. Their support for many things is outstanding. HP really does seem to care about the end users.
I have seen them support networking equipment purchased second (third?) hand off of eBay without asking "Where did you buy it?" or anything like that.
In another instance, one of their supprot people searched through several dozen models of laptops and found one in a different product line that had compatible drivers so that an OS besides Windows XP could be used. No other company has come close to providing this level of support.
If you visit http://www.opera.com/ct-magazin/ and enter the code OJD000MN you can get a free license for Opera 7.54. My understanding is that 8.0 is considered an upgrade to 7.54 and is thus free, but I have not verified that.
You will have to wait until the rush to download 8.0 dies down, however, as they are temporarily redirecting all pages.
You are correct. I was thinking only of the decision in the U.S. District Court.
The U.S. District Court ruled in favor of Sony in October 1979. Next, the U.S. Court of Appeals reversed the decision in October 1981. Finally, the Supreme Court reversed the appeals court decision on January 17, 1984.
"
The Supreme Court agreed and heard the case on March 29, 2005. We expect to hear their decision in late June 2005."
For any of you who are following the case, it looks like we may hear the landmark decision in just over two months. A decision for Grokster is what most of us are hoping for. It would be the modern day equivalant of the Betamax case of the late 70s.
How is it that the blank April 1st story gets more comments than all of the other stories that actually have content? Granted, the other stories are fake, but still..
The actual article is dated March 31, not April 1.
If you read into it, it says:
"We're not pulling the plug on the license altogether, we're just asking OSI to de-emphasize this license as part of their list," Smith told internetnews.com.
It isn't like projects using this license will just disappear overnight. Most likely, we won't see any new projects using this license, though.
