Because if you don't accept the GPL then you can't legally use the product. Copyright law gets in the way.
If you buy a product and there is a license inside the box then that license should not apply since you had no way to study it before making the purchase.
If you were required to actually sign a contract before buying the product all would be well, that would scare away quite a few buyers though. So it's not a road software companies want to be forced to walk.
Recent studies showed that talking in cell phones did not increasing the accident rate much at all. It was when people ceased their conversations that the accident rate increased in the following minutes.
A possible reason might be that people drive more carefully while talking on the phone but afterwards think they have to make up for the lost time.
Having a bad business idea should not give you legal protection. This is pretty much like the CueCat fiasco where they gave away a product for free and attempted to put restrictions on how it could be used.
If you recieve something FREE of charge you are not required to buy something else to pay for what you recieved for free.
The main ISP/Phone Company here in Sweden, Telia, have had that service for a while now.
Basically you can enable a service which lets your friends locate your phone. The triangulation part is not working yet I think. But the location of the closest GSM station is usually enough to find someone.
It's SMS/WAP based and can be enabled and disabled easily. It could ofcourse be used by corporations also, they would just have to require the employees to have the service on at all times.
I think mars is divided into one low area in the north with a higher part in the middle sortof, so it would probably still leave much land above water.
I thought that it was generally believed that everyone immediately sees through "we-will-help-you-get-away-from-evil-competitor" ads. Giving the viewer the completely wrong impressions.
But on the other hand, Unisys and Microsoft. They are not exactly known for caring what the customer thinks as long as they pay.
Was there a keylogger to begin with?
Perhaps they just handed over the encrypted data to the NSA who promptly cracked it. Now, how do you use this in court without revealing that it was NSAs monster cracker that did all the work.
So the next time you begin playing q3 multiplayer your ISP cuts your connection.
As for the grc.com stuff. He got countless offers of help he just decided that it would be a better article if he ignored them.
You really don't want the ISP monitoring everything going to/from your computer. Do you really trust them enough for that? A sudden increase of traffic can't be marked as a DDoS attack. It might just be that your site was linked from slashdot.
If everyone would just patch their systems we would not have these problems. There are too many incompetent system administrators out there.
Yes, We have some fools running this place.
The monopoly is pretty good for the people though, the problem is the taxes.
Having one huge company selling all alcohol can be very useful.
They have just about everything you could ever want at reasonable prices (if the taxes were lower) due
to their huge volumes. If the obscene taxes were lowered this would ideal for the consumer.
Caffeine is probably not a good thing to mix with alcohol or workout. And Red Bull is 320mg/kg..
You are wrong, most IPv6 address space is not portable.
Multi homing is one of the problems with IPv6.
IPv6 is designed to make it much easier to renumber than IPv4 though.
And IPv6 hosts may have two ip addresses from separate providers providing multi homing that way (I don't think this is exactly how it's supposed to work but it's something like this, portable address space won't be used for small blocks).
It's fairly easy to see that they will run out in a few years. This document lists the current allocations. There are not too many/8s left unallocated.
There are a few allocated to large corporations that probably don't need that many addresses though.
RIPE (Europe) were just allocated another two/8s so they must have a need.

Joe Public doesn't make any laws.
Joe Public doesn't even vote (atleast not a very large part of them).
The people who don't care will never care and can be safely ignored.
Had you read the article you would have seen that a real-world protest is exactly what he is suggesting.
You are to violate the DMCA and immediately leave towards the closest police station, and demand a jury trial.
The use of USE was a logical error, and it can be safely replaced with DISTRIBUTE.

The thing is, had these companies actually used their capital to do some real research we would have had many more vulnerabilities fixed.
Right now nothing is disclosed unless blackhats know of it.
The mountains on Mars are really tiny ;)
Olympus Mons is just 24km high.
I think mars is divided into one low area in the north with a higher part in the middle sortof, so it would probably still leave much land above water.
Sounds pretty much like what happened to Loki Games.
Contracts written during the boom which returns to kill the company now. I wonder how many of the dotcoms died because of that kind of deals.
And how many actually think there will be new ideas, ideas not used in various MUDs around the net for atleast 10 years.
So far there has been little innovative in these "new" environments except for the graphics.
To Quest it seems the link is an OC-48.
There is probably transit through a few of the other ISPs also though.
There is much more than 10gbps bandwidth over the atlantic. In 2001 it was esimted there was 200gbps lit fibre.
You are only rolling out 622mbps now?
The Swedish University Network (sunet) has just upgraded to 2.4gbps to each uni with 10gbps backbone. And they hope it will be enough for 4-5 years.
The old one was 622mbps in the backbone and 155 to each uni. And that network has been overloaded for the last years.
Considering that the Unis in the US are much larger one would have thought you had fatter pipes. Is it common with so "bad" connectivity over there?
Paolo Goblino is crashing Mozilla with his signature url.
I wonder, does this kind of ad really works?
I thought that it was generally believed that everyone immediately sees through "we-will-help-you-get-away-from-evil-competitor" ads. Giving the viewer the completely wrong impressions.
But on the other hand, Unisys and Microsoft. They are not exactly known for caring what the customer thinks as long as they pay.
I think calling the UniMogs SUVs is a bit wrong.
They are UVs perhaps.
They are not exactly know for their extreme speed.
They do go down by themselves now and then after all... .. the seventh one down in the last few months..
But this is what
Considering that Bill Gates is the spawn of Satan he most certainly will not.
But politics up there is even more complex than here so who knows.
If they were terribly worried about the torpedo technology they would not have left the torpedo section on the bottom of the sea.
It was cut off to remove the risk of a second explosion.

You invent a keylogger!
