I wonder if the EU Countryes (most countryes in europe are part of ESA) are going to get to the moon sonner then the U.S. The main reasion for this is based on the assumsion that the space programs in Europe are picking up the pase and are actually going somewhere. Not being just a dream. The future is going to be intresting.
By late October, Mr. Srivastava's team was beginning to automate the testing that had historically been done by hand. If a feature had too many bugs, software "gates" rejected it from being used in Longhorn. If engineers had too many outstanding bugs they were tossed in "bug jail" and banned from writing new code. The goal, he says, was to get engineers to "do it right the first time."
No wonder that Windows has so many bugs, becose there is little chance that the human mind can find a single bug in a single line of code that is made up of 500.000 lines or more. It is impossible. It is also clear that they way they where treating there engineers does not improve moral over there.
This is the start of Microsoft fall as the biggest software company on the planet. They may take one step forward, but they have already taken three steps backwards some time ago.
But when he looked up canceling his TiVo, he found out that under the terms of his "agreement" with TiVo (e.g., the crap he clicked through when get got set up), he was obliged to pay a $150 "early cancellation" fee.
It's called screwing the consumer legally. This is also a other way to rip off the same consumer twise insted of just once.
But we are already in digital dark age. Every tryed to read a document from a computer that was made in the year 1990 - 1995. It is hard, it is even harder to find a 5" Floppy drive that works and software that can use it and it is going to be a nightmare to find a program that reads an long old dead property formats from those times.
We are in digital dark age, it has already started and the end is many years from now. The price of this digital dark age is going to be hig.
It seems to me that TiVo is nothing more then pure trash. Since who in there right mind allows the crazy copyright holder to control there VCR (TiVo is digital VCR and nothing more). TiVo death is near.
"We're not after things like DVD players, only the software that allows you to illegally copy DVDs"
Stupid statement that comes from stupid groups that want 100bn in profits just becose they are greedy.
They just cannot deticate what is illegal and what is legal becose it is not there busness to do so.
They have however been buying laws past decate and on an corruption level that is just plain scary.
According to U.S law shareing an one file can land you 10 years in jail. Like...wtf is wrong with that picture. Real criminals get less time in jail then that.
RIAA and MPAA can jump off a cliff. They are nothing more the pressure groups with large bucks behind them and they suck!
Telefone is pretty useless for the pepole in New Orleans right now. But if they want to use the internet, they have to use IE6. Here is the offical FEMA "Technical Requirements".
This is clearly stated on there page. See below.
"The Online registration requires Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6.0 or above. If you do not have Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, you may still be able to access the Individual Assistance Center where you can check the status of your application and update your information."
"drill a bunch of holes in it and relieve pressure?"
No, that is not possible. Here is why, if they where to drill holes in it, then the magma has an clear path to go up to the ground and form a cinder clone or a new volcano. Or the second options, it might just blow up into sky in one big cloud of ash, since it depends alot of what type the magma is beneth the crust there. Explosive or the type that just flote arourd, but given the area where this is, my guess is the explosive type. Big mess that comes from that.
The artical states that this did start in the year 1997 and has been riseing about 3 meters (10 feet) a year, and that is a fast moving magma. The question however is how big amount of magma is needed to start a eruption there, and nobody has the answer for that question.
However, it is clear (unless something changes over there) that this area is going to erupt in the future, the big question is just when it is going to happen.
Blue Ray DVD is going to be dead before it hit the market anyway. As things are going right now for the new formats, the public is not going to be intrested in then anyway.
You are dem right on that one. I have been in the simular place where you where. But i found the admin pwd on the C:\ Drive in an file that was clear text. I did test if it did work, as it turns out to be (but in reality that pwd shoud have been long dead). After that i got accused of damage to the computer system, wich i did denie that had did and i did stick to that. They did sue me and now it is up to the judge to dedicate what happens.
Most of the time, the school IT staff is just one wannabe computer guy who think he knows everything. When the fact is the school have the worst securty setup (in most cases) in the known universe.
Lesson: Never, ever trust an school Admin. Second, never ever trust the school headmaster (or whatever you call it), becose if they think there is an slight chance of you being guilty they will find an way to stick the blaim to you. Even if you didn't do anything to damage the computer system.
In my country, it is legal to make software that provides usabilty to programs that i own and have bught legally. Unlike the U.S that is freaking insane laws that are in the basic just for the big companyes out there.
EULA aren't a contract, it's a agreement that removes your right to make a software that works on other OS that you might use. Or to create your own software that is able to connect to the client software in the first place.
I don't need to grow up, you do. But some pepole might think that you like it when company like Blizzard sues you to the moon.
If they don't provide it in the format i like it best i won't buy the product in the first place. That means no money for the company in question. They are also saying to me as an consumer that i don't matter to them becose i am not following everyone else out there.
Your logic is flawed. This isn't about money, it's about software and the right to run it on every freaking thing you want it to run it on. Even if you have to reverse engeener it. Since the pepole did buy the game to start with.
"Their intent was to distribute a tool that has no legitimate purpose according to the game makers. Period."
You have nothing to support that argument. Nothing. Oh, it is dangerus to quote Blizzard in this matter. Everytone is an criminal in the eye of the company. Rember **AA, they treat there own consumers in the same way. We are all thef and thugs in there eyes.
Pepole want to play on there own servers, good for them. I don't see it is any of Blizzard issues. If i want to play a game with my friend over the internet and not to use Blizzard server i have the right to do so and it is none of Blizzard issues.

I am already wating for the DVD.
" The RIAA accused them, so they MUST be guilty!
The RIAA has whole teams gathering evidence. They wouldn't accuse an innocent person."
Tell that to the dead granny they did sue last year (or was it 2003 ?). I wonder who dead pepole defend them self in court....
(Fact: Dead pepole don't defend them self in court, for obivus reasion..)

Ohh...look, it got labeled flaimbait. I guess i did piss off some TiVo users. Oh, well.
...my hary global ass. If they ever dare to come to my country that shall remain nameless I shall send them back with there tail between there legs.
It seems to me that TiVo is nothing more then pure trash. Since who in there right mind allows the crazy copyright holder to control there VCR (TiVo is digital VCR and nothing more). TiVo death is near.
I wonder when the cluster discovers it's own existance and deticates that there is no need for the human race.
The memory bugs usally ends by Firefox crashing faster then Bill G. can say the word "Linux".
This memory bug is annoying.
I also run Gentoo Linux.
This anti Piracy lab of theres is a big waste of money.
Microsoft is going to spend 100mil to advertisement there broken crap, when they shoud have used that same amount to improve there broken crap.
Speak about clueless company.
I wonder when windows impodes becose of some buffer overflow that is based on one bit bug.

The pocket BSOD, or RSOD pocket or a mixture of the both, PSOD (Pink Screen Of Death).
I also see this coming.
4) Everyone gets happy becose there computers actually works for the first time.

This might not even be long lasting volcano. It might only erupt once.
