Yes, exactly. An OEM license is for the machine it was installed on and that machine only. So the only way to transfer the license is if you are giving/selling the whole PC to someone else.
What I'm not sure of is the rules on upgrading components. I know switching out the MB or even just the network card* can cause Windows to want to re-activate. Nor sure if enough changes to the original machine invalidate the OEM license.
* I once had Windows force me to re-activate because I rebooted with the network card disabled. Total PITA as it wanted me to activate before I logged in but couldn't do so over the internet because the network card was disabled. A call to MS solved the issue but it still sucked.
I'm sorry, I just thought of it because the first time that happened to me I had no idea what to do. I just thought the terminal froze, killed it and reopened it. Took me months to stumble across a man page or some such that explained Ctrl-S and Ctrl-Q to me.
Anyway, sorry again, it was a cheap joke that probably read like a cheap shot at you.
I generally have to work 9 or more hours in a day anyway. Sure, some of it is spent on/. but there are more then enough 10+ hour, "must get shit done" days to make up for the slow ones. An extra day off in a week would make me more then willing to make the other four 10 hour days.
But, as the article mentioned you have to be careful to note the "available until" blurb. I've had things disappear out of instant because I played the "I'll get around to watching that eventually" game.
Agreed that more seems to be available all the time but I suspect it's not just contracts that keep them shuffling things in and out of availability; it seems also they only have room for so much at any given time...
Sadly, you probably just could have stopped there; however, you are correct. It seems to me that the majority of people who do vote these days do so from their hearts, not their minds.
I myself am somewhat guilty. I tend to follow closely what is going on at a national level and vote in all national elections. I don't spend time on learning much about local politics so I generally abstain from voting local. But my reasoning is that I'd rather abstain if I am uninformed then just vote along party lines or for whosoever name I heard the most during the campaigning.

Whoa dude, troll much? You went from reading "I'm cautious about technology I don't understand yet" to racism?
Calling people teabaggers isn't going to help further the dialog in this country. You obviously have a problem with certain types of people too; namely those that don't agree with your world view. Your intolerance is as bad as these so called "teabaggers" you have shoved into a nice little box that you can deride and scorn without trying to understand where they come from.
And, me? I won't touch a five hour energy drink either but I did vote for Obama. Where do I fit into your world view?
The actual news is that Apple didn't have a patent for playlists.
I don't disagree; from a strictly doing business today standpoint.
But if you sit back and read that slowly it describes to me, in an abstract way, exactly what is wrong with the patent system. A patent on listing something? Really? I just don't see how it furthers the arts and science in our society.
cvs / git - CVS was the revision control system to introduce
I tend to agree with your post over all and don't want to be pedantic but wasn't CVS to replace Bell Labs SCCS (Source Code Control System)? And didn't other source code revision control systems exist before SCSC?

That could be used to describe zealots of any stripe, especially religious but IMHO equally applicable to political and cultural zealots as well.
No not seriously. :-)

You sure you're not accidentally hitting Ctrl-S?

Damn! They're getting to be as bad as the people behind Firefox!
My poor little SeaMonkey is only up to 2.1. Somebody obviously needs to get their sh*t together!
Oh boy, here we are again. All I had to read was

It's too early on a Monday to go any further; I think I just might be sick to my stomach if I do.
emphasis mine
I don't see why they can't do both at the same time. I don't see a need for serialization in this case.
and assuring that everyone who now has PSTN service has access to either a broadband or cellular communication alternative.
I'd rather they work on making sure we have multiple broadband and communication options. I don't like the words "a" and "or" being used here.
Not that the PSTN was much better in that regard but here we have a chance to do it right.
