Somehow, I was expecting not a mouse oriented differently, but a mouse that you would actually move in the vertical plane... it makes more sense now that I actually looked at TFA.
I wouldn't be where I am today ( computer programming skills )
and most hobby computerists at that...
if we didn't "steal" our software.
I began learning computer programming with a free implementation of BASIC and a purchased version of Pascal (from a class). I then learned C and C++ using Metrowerk's DP edition ($50), and Java on Sun's free JDK. I now use Apple's free XCode, javac, gcc, Python, PHP, etc. There is no excuse for stealing software, especially to learn programming, since there are so many widely available, free programs.
As a software developer, I think it would be great if all development tools were freely available, but they aren't. If they aren't free, I either pay for them or don't use them. Right now, I am only using free stuff.
they point out that DRM systems don't automatically switch themselves off when a work goes out of copyright.
Fortunately for us here in the US, works going out of copyright isn't an issue.
I have no idea how many companies are doing business selling car parts on the Internet but I'm sure that it's a small fraction of the "front-ends" that appear to be doing business.
A friend of mine who worked for a bingo supplies company said that their company operated many different website under different names selling slightly differentiated products in order to boost sales.
Good evening, this is your captain speaking. If you look to your left, you will see a large hunk of cheese. If you look to your right, you will see another large hunk of cheese.
Dumping all responsibility for making moral choices over to God is a wonderful idea, but then you have to state the basis of this moral choice itself.
One might wonder what the bases for your moral choices are...
So if *someone* were to *accidentally* release a virus that doubled the number of virtual processors (I don't know how that's done, I'm assuming it's in software), MS would be able to charge twice?
You know those guys who jump out of planes and parachute into heavily defended territories with night-vision goggles and silenced guns? Yeah, them... the RIAA.
Why do they even have that information on the card in the first place? The card is just to open your door, isn't it? It seems all it should need is some password that the door lock will recognize. It's not like the door charges your credit card, after all.
I have a 500 MHz G3 iMac (not my main machine) with 384 megs of RAM, and I find that it does everything quite adequately. Oh, yeah, and it's running 10.1. I know the newer versions are supposed to be even faster, but maybe that doesn't always work out that way.

Too bad they didn't have Symantec Genesis yet.
Do they still do that? I haven't seen any in quite awhile.

So that's, what, a $20 million fine?
People always complain about ID being non-falsifiable, but I'm having trouble coming up with an idea of how evolution is falsifiable...
It would seem that the only way to falsify either one would be to go back and see what actually happened.

I believe it's actually hare-brained.
Works fine for me, with Safari 1.3.1, OS X 10.3.9
it was just my schizophrenia!

So if Google already fixed it, when will MS?
Perhaps if we had more experts in the juries we would have fewer outrageous awards given out.
Maybe they're selling the fix through the new anti-virus software?

Let me know when they charge the same google does to search the web...
Is this even going to be legal in a couple years?

I'm pretty sure someone told me SP2 is secure... so don't worry about it, you'll all be fine.
