it is legal to sell OEM software with a new Computer or major computer component. By major computer component most software vendors agree CPU,motherboard,HDD,Memory work.. but MS also says that a mouse counts (not a keyboard just the mouse)
While your right i just wanted to correct one thing
"The software supplied is InterVideo WinDVD BD for VAIO, a rather convoluted title. On first attempt we got a region code error message. I then went into the software and selected Region B. Yet more hoops to jump through to play a movie, again brought to you by the letters D, R, and M."
This isn't a DRM issue this is a method of "price discrimination" which all companies do.. it is annoying as crap - but alteast the player lets you change the region.. but i am sure that will be fixed
it does not matter wether they are trying to kill us all or just living.. All people deserve basic rights. They are holding up to them selves what they belive in, and we too should do the same. This nation should be true to it's fathers and do what is right.

Fianl Fantasy - Advent Children rocked.. and even the first movie was gery good.. one think you had to look at is how long it took them to render the first one verses the second..
give it 5 more years and we will have it if we want it
funny 5:30.. my wife waits till about 8.. then calls agian at 10...
she works early mornings and i work from 8am till well 6-7-8-9-10-11-12 hell i never get a normal day.. but we make sure that the weekends we both have off and the phones are off so that no one can get up with us..
would i like to spend more time with her, yea no doubt about it.. but we do what pays the bills..
it is also worth nothing that for XP.. you get Two activations online/phone without having to talk to the operators.. Event if it is the same hardware and you reformatted and reloaded
it is really annoying as shit.. i am tired of paying companies to treate me like a criminal.
to Qoute your link "can be transferred to another user only once"
note User not device - big diffrence.. and the fact that MS beleaves that a significant change in hardware is "a new device" as it disables it's self will screw with this one.
by putting that in the EULA they can now force people to use the Activate online/phone and get rid of their call center because the automated activation will fail if you do it more than twice. Currently you can get to an operator and they will ask you questions and reactivate it for you.. now they have the right to tell the user to screw off and fire the operators.
not only will they save money in the Indian call centers but they will make more when people ahve to buy more copies..
as far as i am concered if it really is "device" and not "user" i nor any of the computers that i manage will be moving to vista...
it is posiable but.. if they are refrencing the P3 which was out along time ago.. and well not any more.. then they didn't bother to protect their patent.. now if it is a diffrent set for the Core cpu's then fine but don't bring up stuff that they didn't bother with.
to be fair.. why don't they go after AMD too.. why not . more money right?
the only thing i can think is that if i remember right.. Intel owns the ARM.. which does have alot in comon when Transmeta.. but something else makes me think they they had something todo with that..

i don't know about Apple's but because IBM and Sun's version kicks the living daylights out of MS's ..
i run MS Virtual Server - while it is nice.. it is diffently aimed at small biz.. it would never scale to datacenters (well)
IBM has had it for many many many years.. and it works.. Sun also.. not aslong as IBM but just the same both kick ass in the datacenters...

you have posted something that i hold close to me..
we have over the years become exactly what we hated - we have become the same as the nation we broke away from.
What gets me is MS took a page for Apple's book and it set them on fire..
I don't think they count as the "body" in nobody i belive is ment to mean "human" which am quite sure they are not. but i could be wrong
i am 23 too.. and i remember not having a hard disk for along time...

no .. i agree that it isn't myspaces fault.. BUT i was disagreeing with the poster that Myspace is not a service.

i agree.. network everything.. but to be honest. if they are buying a "Brother" then well.. they more than likly only paid 75$ for it..
"The content posted by the students is indeed degrading and deserve to be punished."
this i fully agree with you on..
but my space as far as i am concerned is not a service..
ahh don't worry .. no one here cares who you are - as no one here is who they say they are.. except the AC's.. they are the honest ones
if you really view myspace as a "service" then you obviously don't understand the point of the post you replied to.
that is why the use a vest.. if it was as simle as a belt some of the slower kids might get it around their neck.
