There is a free version of Oracle available. Its not licensed in any way. However if you go over their max data limit, then you have to purchase a version of Oracle.
Also, RedHat and CentOS are the same product. They are the same source code: RedHat compiled by RedHat, and CentOS compiled by open source community. This allows RedHat to get more exposure and most of the bugs found in CentOS can be patched back into RedHat.
I think the biggest problems teachers of the current generation students have is that these students are constantly multitasking. They grew up in an environment where so much is constantly going on in their normal habitat (home, friends house's and so on) that attempting to teach in a normal classroom setting will drive them to utter boredom. These students need to be active on many levels, not just one particular focus. You'll lose them.
Having text ongoing while presenting videos with active listening to get them involved maybe your best bet.
Agreed, its illegal to pass this law. Even if it does pass, it will be dismissed at a latter time, lost of wasted money going out to pay off the people affected by it and so on.
IMHO, its a political maneuver trying to get votes.
Buy the game, don't install from that.
Download it from the hack sites that you think are clean from DRM.
Run the game.
You've now legally purchased the game without installing the draconian DRM crap. You also don't get any support from the company when it breaks (normal when you pirate). You've shown support to the developers who have worked their tails off to make the game, but you haven't exposed yourself to what you don't like.
Granted even using this tactic is considered illegal. *shrugs* The only real answer is don't buy the game to boycott their process.
The problem is the masses have already invested in the game without your boycott and anyone boycotting at this stage is wasting his/her breath. If enough people don't buy for PC, then you're basically forcing the developers to ignore the PC platform in the future because its not worth the cost.
Means that any of these quoted rates are worthless. If you can't back up the claims with hard facts and numbers, its all bogus crap spewed out to grab attention and distort the true relational facts.
Haven't bothered to install the game yet, but I had read about this a few days ago.
Its funny that they've already got the game patched 3 times since release. I know I was in the beta testing, and they wouldn't fix things then, interesting that they do now.
Actually I was having the same problems till I did a completely clean re installation of all my drivers. Also turn off AA, as its buggy with VATS.
Once I did that painful process, the game now runs smooth for 8 hours at a time. Yes I've done that, now leave me alone;) I've got more exploring to do!
Only thing that sucks is not being able to target their eyes (Bethesda pulled this and other areas) where they were always week on armor. Now the rad scorpions really don't have a weak spot. Best strat I've found is to get behind one, take out its legs first, then worry about the rest.
Because the cars, in this parallel universe, all have nukes in them. Their version of the future was that everything was nuke driven.
If you shoot up a car, regardless of weapon, it will explode. What sucks is when I'm standing next to one as cover, not realizing it about to blow up lol!
Played during the open beta through FilePlanet. Very much WOW like. Reskinned and touched up a bit. Ran into a ton of bugs, which I did submit. Hope they fix them for people that will be playing this.
The only thing I saw in this game that was outstandingly unique were the open public quests. Those were actually quite a bit of fun, IF you could get enough people to do them with you, or IF there were enough people in the general area.
I also found it extremely humorous that higher level toons couldn't gank lower levels. If the higher level to was too high, they ran around as an easy to kill chicken! I just about died laughing the first time I saw this.
And yet, do you realize how many times have I, and others, have had to purchase an excessively priced school text book that I can't sell because all of the classes no longer require it the next semester...? The bookstores won't buy them back, and no other else will buy them on websites like half.com because its no longer the "correct" edition for those classes?
College/University level class books are a rip off for the excessive cost and minimal, if any, return.
Also consider now the advances in materials. The new generations of Zeppelins could have a much more durability due to tearing and what not. Also, if they used Helium instead of Hydrogen, I don't believe there would be any concerns about the gas causing the explosions.
I've been following the progress of the hybrids like the Dynalifter. I really hope some of these programs do start to take off (figuratively and literally). The ground traffic for transportation of materials is getting to cluttered, but a few lifters could take care of a good deal or wear and tear on the roads, and alleviate a lot of excess freight cargo.
Probably others as well, not gonna weed through the long list already.
Security through obscurity is no security at all. Basically, the persons have left their car not only in the middle of the parking lot unlocked, but the windows wide open for anyone to take. It is very illegal for someone else to steal it as that person does not own that vehicle. The police will arrest you, but your insurance my not cover the theft.
Kinda get the picture?
If the site has any type of disclosure or terms of use stating that using their URL in any way outside of their service is illegal, its illegal. You accept the terms of use or you don't. You go around the terms of use, you've just "hacked" the site.
As for the re-occuring theme that I read above about freeloaders... If its not illegal, then why not? If it is, people probably need to be educated. If they persist even after education, yeah then they are in for a world of hurt due to their own actions. Face up to your actions and take responsiblity. If not, well... no one is perfect.
When you sign a contract with "" be ready to pay the price. People want fame and fortune, and most don't truly understand the price of doing so through recording industries. I pity their choices, but they made them.
As I stated below, you're already screwed if they go after all shares. Remember MS has default admin shares that are on all systems. You can disable them, but after some painful work, and its definitely never explained to a standard user that they ever exist.
The logic they need to apply for going after a shared folder needs to be specifically defined that it allows others to download the music outside of the realm of fair-use in a method that goes beyond what fair-use is intended for. I feel and strongly believe that local area networks, larger networks , and VPNs target a very specific audience that can easily be defined through fair-use.
The material in shares should be secured to only allow specific targetted users that are acceptable to share with for the terms of fair-use.
A publicity stunt in which they told everyone ahead of time how long it was going to be available in that way, and when they were going to close their doors to it. A stunt in which they grossed more in one day than they could all year going on tours and reselling merchandise.
Yeah it was a stunt alright. And now they understand full well how much money they could earn just by doing what's right for them.
As for piracy killing the market and business... No. Piracy only accounts for about 20-30% sales loss, and its always been present, in all shapes, forms, and is an age old issue all persons have had to deal with throughout history. Technology has accelerated it, but it didn't make it worse.
The problem is that the industry didn't keep up with technology. End of line. They failed to grow with the rest of the world, and now they either find a way to grow rapidly and regain the edge, or it fades away and is replaced with another group that will basically do their old jobs better and more refined.
Its the way of life.
Now stop posting as an anonymous coward, RIAA Rep:)
Every windows computer is sharing everything, unless specifically disabled to NOT do so. Does the standard consumer understand this? No... Is it even instructed... NO. Does MS want you to remove the administrative shares? NO...
Every computer by default, first install... C$ is open and available. Its a share.
I strongly believe the RIAA lawyers have run out of ground to stand on.

Soylent Green is ... aww.. never mind.
They had some mysterious anti nuke bomb shields that had an auto shut off after 30 days of consecutive use? *shrugs*

Nah it will survive. Its got very good potential. Just didn't strike the right cord for me.

Looks like 4 monitors running 720x900 snapped together. Does not look curved during game play. Doesn't look like this product is really ready as yet.
Nice idea though. Good eye candy, but that's about it right now.
Suggestion... Make a digital and photo copy of that receipt. The inks most stores use now don't last more than a few weeks any more.

Then please define and explain how it can be legal but not authorized? If its legal for me to do it, I don't care if you authorize it or not.
