That. Or UbiSoft found the cracked version runs better, smoother and faster.
I heard story from friend whose another friend bought Pro/E, and could not install from the official CDs. Finally, running out of time, he installed cracked Pro/E right in front of their representative which worked like a charm.
Of course he has not asked for refund as he wants to keep the license to show, just in case.
Imagine, Judge being presented his own private MMS as evidence.
Reminds me of a joke:
A small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand in a trial -- a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy. And frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Williams, do you know the defense attorney?"
She again replied, "Why, yes I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to baby-sit him for his parents. And he, too, has been a real disappointment to me. He's lazy, bigoted, he has a drinking problem. The man can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I know him."
At this point, the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and called both counselors to the bench. In a very quiet voice, he said with menace, "If either of you asks her if she knows me, you'll be in jail for contempt of court!"
I heard somewhere, that a man will buy 1$ item for 2$ if he needs it...And a woman will buy 2$ item for 1$ even if she does not need it.
So, all we need to do is, attach a price tag of 39.95$ to Ubuntu, place it near lipstick section and put a big banner of '50% discount sale' above it:)
Their groundbreaking work identified a single network core, or hub, that may be key to the workings of both hemispheres of the brain.
...pfft! The male gender of the species' "hub" is connected by a pair of some really long leads... they go down the spine, and connect directly to the testicles.
The female of the species' "hub" goes straight to the left ring finger.
/P
Absolutely. And one needs to insert Gateway to establish a VPN.
It's different story that females PKI mechanism is still unknown, and male species have to rely on brute force techniques to decipher some of the data, which unfortunately takes years after VPN is established.
SSL certificates provide one thing, and one thing only: Encryption between the two ends using the certificate.
IMHO, No. It does provide many other features including identification of the two machines talking to each other.
They do not, and never been able to, provide any verification of who is on either end. This is because literally one second after they are issued, regardless of the level of effort that goes into validating who is doing the buying, someone else can be in control of the certificate, legitimately or otherwise.
Again, IMHO, wrong. You can not take certificate issued to one party and, use it on other server, and make that server pretend as original server.
Digital certificates contain a lot of information including public key of the machine you are interested to communicate. Unless you get hold of private key of the machine in question, that certificate is useless on any other machine. And if you have enough access to the machine to steal private key, the security of machine is already compromised, no need to blame Digital Certificates.
If it would not have been this way, anybody would have been billionaire, using man-in-middle attack, by installing a machine in between client and server.
Self signed certificate are useful as test tool, before you are satisfied with your setup, and before you decide to invest in a globally acceptable Digital Certificate signed by a good CA like Verisign or Thwate.
No, they outright didn't broke the law. That was the point! Ghandi's campaign for instance was based on the "Imagine, it is war, but no one goes there" idea.
Ghandi suggested to the people of Germany to commit suicide to save Hitler from committing the crime of murdering them.
Based on the GP's comments, however, especially those related to taking work in something that was "not your profession in Australia", I'm tempted to suggest that GP came to Canada without the aforementioned element of being qualified. If you need to take shit work in your country of destination, you should have thought about your applicable qualifications before moving there.
Fortunately, I did not have to take up shit work, but I was suggested by almost everyone I met. And no, I did not come without qualification.
It is just that Canada disregards qualifications of immigrants to an extent that it sounds like a crime. It was painful to see some university toppers, I met, doing shit work in Canada.
Sometimes I wonder why Canadians have to defend their shitty system by making personal offenses.
The point in the joke is how Canadians believe that they know every matter of fact on this earth...how they love to jump on conclusions so fast....or how they are not ready to accept some other view point....or how they believe they have every right to bitch about other cultures.
You, sir, have done nothing different from a true Canadian.
I, too, am glad that I left Canada. See it works for both of us positively. However, I do miss Canadian chicks. They were wonderful.
The Ant and the Grasshopper --classic and Canadian versions
CLASSIC VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long,building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks ant is a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
THE END
THE CANADIAN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long,building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks ant is a fool,and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like him, are cold and starving.
The CBC shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper,with cuts to a video of the ant in his comfortable warm home with a table laden with food.
Canadians are stunned that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so while others have plenty.
The NDP, the CAW and the Coalition Against Poverty demonstrate in front of the ant's house. The CBC, interrupting an Inuit cultural festival special from Nunavut with breaking news, broadcasts them singing "We Shall Overcome." Sven Robinson rants in an interview with Pamela Wallin that the ant has gotten rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate taxhike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share".
In response to polls, the Liberal Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti-Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant's taxes are reassessed, and he is also fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as helpers.
Without enough money to pay both the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
The ant moves to the US, and starts a successful agribiz company.
The CBC later shows the now fat grasshopper finishing up the last of the ant's food, though Spring is still months away, while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he hasn't bothered to maintain it. Inadequate government funding is blamed, Roy Romanow is appointed to head a commission of enquiry that will cost $10,000,000. The grasshopper is soon dead of a drug overdose, the Toronto Star blames it on the obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity.
The new immigrants in Canada are called "Landed Immigrants". FYI.
Richard dies and his soul is met by St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. "Welcome Richard," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We are not able to dig information related to you and we don't seem to know what to do with you. Why not go around and have a look at heaven and hell both, before we find about you."
So Richard decides to have a look at heaven. It is whitish, full of saintly decent people, talking about all good and nice things. Richard got bored very fast.
He decides to have a look at hell, and to his surprise, hell is full of beaches, nice beautiful chicks in bikini moving around, Malls, restaurants, flyovers, gardens, maple trees...it almost looked like Canada.
Richard comes back and before he could spell his choice, St Peter says, "You have been brought here by mistake. You still have 7 days of life to enjoy on earth."
Richard goes back happily on earth and returns after 7 days. St Peter welcomes him and says, "You have been pretty decent guy on earth. You have choice to make. Where would you like to go? Heaven or hell?" Without hesitation, Richard chooses hell.
St. Peter decides to check on Richard after 6 months. He found Richard in shock and misery. St Peter wants to know what happened with him. Richard looks deep in space and says "I am jobless, and have no credit cards. I got some temporary job but paid heavy taxes. Nobody would give me credit cards. I can see chicks but can't touch them. Last 6 months I have found myself frustrated beyond you could imagine.".
After gaining some control of himself, Richard looks at St Peter, and asks "When I came here first, I wished I was here forever. Why am I frustrated now?". St Peter smiles and says, "That time you were on visitor visa. Now you are landed immigrant."
I immigrated to Canada, and finally decided to leave Canada after few years. During those days, I was invited by social workers to give presentations to new immigrants to Canada.
Canadian work culture is different, and was more or less of shock to me. If you could say that I am wearing Canadian underwear, the probability of getting job is better than if you say, I have designed supercomputers in Australia. I know I am exaggerating, but it is not too far from reality.
One of the best way is to start is applying directly to companies, instead of recruiting agents, as they would consider you less marketable lacking Canadian experience (god knows WTF it is.) You will wasting too much of your time if you believe that agents can help you.
Second important thing is to start working and build your credibility, which could come from working somewhere either voluntarily or accepting job that was not your profession in Australia. You will need to be patient to get job what exactly you are looking for.
Third suggestion is to start acquiring some academic qualification or certifications in Canada. It helps.
Fourth suggestion is to start looking for social services network of your own community. Surprisingly, Canada has pretty good social network of helpful people. They would guide you a lot better than anybody else.
I used to tell a lot of jokes to new immigrants, and would love to share with you. Hang on.

The claim that blacks are being unfairly punished is a totally bogus one.
Absolutely. It is bogus. We have punished unfairly whites, blacks, browns, yellows equally.
Truly yours.

This Texan was having sex will Pamela Anderson. And during sex he started pissing (yes, in there).
Pamela slapped him.
Texan demanded why she slapped him. She said, "You were pissing in public place".
They know how to find free space.
Physics for Dummies might help u.
I would have used it on my mother-in-law.
Who buys stuff they don't need?
I heard somewhere, that a man will buy 1$ item for 2$ if he needs it...And a woman will buy 2$ item for 1$ even if she does not need it.
So, all we need to do is, attach a price tag of 39.95$ to Ubuntu, place it near lipstick section and put a big banner of '50% discount sale' above it :)
To a geek, 'google for SSL' makes sense.

Sweater???? You took all risk just to send message about sweater?? Jesus!!
Don't you get it? They are just trying to establish Microsoft as most innovative and creative organization.
