Hahah what planet are you from? I don't know many people that *wouldn't* accept a few bucks for sitting in a court room while they listen to their ipod or txt their friends, let alone people that might be down on their luck.
... about the people who accepted money to "attend" a meeting they knew nothing about? Pretty shitty ethics on both sides of this transaction.
I don't see why. Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 first releases were perfectly fine in their own right, pre-SP1.
Do we wait for service pack 2 or 3 nowadays?
I'm not sure what you saw, but the page is a redirect to a 'save the kids' style page. It's quite possible the european sites have 'child porn', but I only went through the US site, which are the bulk majority on that list, to prove a point. In fact, it would be more helpful to children if whoever created this list contacted US authorities, as child porn sites are illegal... however, clearly that's not possible as the sites aren't child porn, so no one would care.
younggirls.org I started from the bottom and this page CLEARLY has naked girls UNDER the age of 18. Legal images as they are photographs by David Hamilton. They fall under art but are absolutly 100% of girls under the age limit you mention.
In the US waivers MUST be signed by performing actresses that they're 18 years or older. I perused the list and every US based server I looked at had known porn actresses that are 20+, let alone 19 or even 18. Guaranteed that some old guy, completely out of touch with his youth (ie. over 50), and probably unable to meet young attractive women banned anything that remotely looked under 30. This is religious conservatism at its worst and the Finnish people shouldn't stand for this repression!
Except that 'slightly warmer' has serious implications, and is already caused the evacuation of a number of islands throughout the world.
No, all that has been agreed upon is the planet is getting/slightly/ warmer.
Because some of us don't trust OpenDNS's DNS filtering to think for us, and prefer to have unmoderated DNS results. Not to mention, my ISP's DNS resolving is considerably faster than OpenDNS's.
Why is anyone still using the DNS info provided by their ISP? I have been happy with OpenDNS for quite a while now.
Bullshit. What you're doing is making up numbers and then using Baye's theorum to validate your previous suspicions. As much as you try to play it off as such, you are not being rational or scientific.
I agree, Obama actually understands technology, patent issues and creative rights. I'm Canadian, so my vote doesn't matter however I've noticed other candidates seem to be less educated in these areas, or relying on basic knowledge; however Obama seems to have personal knowledge in these areas.
For legal reasons, I'd prefer to err on the side of caution and not publicly share this letter as our case is ongoing. However, the letter is a cookie cutter letter sent by many lawyers representing the BSA, and it can be found word for word elsewhere on the net. The only difference will be the software they've accused us of pirating.
Dealing with the BSA has been an eye opener into the worlds of licensing. Things that you and I might consider licensed, they won't let pass. Things the sane world would consider legitimate, they don't. If you don't have receipts, it's not legit. If you didn't purchase your OEM Microsoft Office from a certified Microsoft OEM Partner, it's not legit. If you didn't purchase your Autocad from a licensed dealer, who didn't purchase it from a licensed distributer? Sorry, that's not legit (even though you have a receipt, with media and a serial number!)
We're obviously contesting some of the above, but whatever these pesky companies put in their licensing disclaimers is considered licensing law.
Would you mind scanning and posting that? I believe you, but I'd like to have something to show folks who think I'm crazy when I talk about the BSA. If you want to send it to me I'll happily do the redacting work and get your approval of that before posting.
I spend more than $20 for a round of drinks when I'm out at night... $20 for the wonderful enjoyment that Portal gave me, a game I'll never forget, was well worth it. $20 is f-all.
$20 for Portal is iffy, I agree, but consider that you get TF2, Portal, HL2, Ep1, and Ep2 for $50, it's a fricking steal. Even if you've already played all the singleplayer Half-Life games, TF2 + Portal combined is IMHO easily worth $50, particularly TF2.
You're being modded down because you're wrong. Many people here have real life experience with the BSA and LAWYERS. They directly ask you for receipts for all purchases. Stop citing web pages, listen to those who have actual corporate experience dealing with these leeches.
Do you have a source for that claim? Their website says they only want to see a valid license. There are a million reasons you could have a valid license that you got for free. Everyone keeps saying that and modding me down, but I really dont think its true.
You're probably getting modded down by people that know better than you.
Do you have a source that indicates that they want purchase orders/receipts/whatever from X number of years ago? Yes, I have a letter right here, from the BSA, that states that I require a receipt for every copy of a Microsoft product that's in use at our network. The letter further, explicitly states that a product key, COA sticker or product media is not valid proof of a legitimate license.
Outside of Slashdot, and a pro-*nix community, Vista adoption is higher than you might think. OEM sales are driving Vista and Office 2007 sales. In fact, for lower tier OEM's, obtaining Office 2003 is next to impossible unless you or your client is with the Open Value Program and utilize their downgrade rights. And despite our, and the educated user's strong dislike for Vista, just as many people are interested in seeing this flashy new operating system. After SP1 is released growth will increase considerably as many people are currently 'waiting for the next service pack' as they did with previous operating systems.
I was thinking more along the lines of, "Please, for heaven's sake, don't fuck this one up!" The last one was horrid for so many reasons, but primarily because it was consolified and not at all optimized for the superior PC hardware (vs. Xbox), in regards to graphics and controls.
After a full day of computer work, followed by an evening of Steam or WoW, my mouse clicking wrist hurts with a very sharp pain to both my wrist and the ends of my fingers. If I stop gaming for a few weeks, this pain eventually goes away for a few months.
Is this carpel tunnel or RSI? Or something else?
As an aside, I didn't believe that these problems existed until my late 20's, when I started experiencing them after a lifetime of the same pattern of computer use.
It's not hard at all; Intel fully lists all supported memory on their motherboard support pages. When Intel releases the X38 chipset motherboard, they will list exactly what RAM their motherboard supports. It's up to the motherboard manufacturer to list what RAM a board supports, not the maker of the chipset.
To Intel and vendors: How bloody hard is to include "supports ECC" in your online product summary?

Yea... what's going on in Canada? I know in many areas northern ontario I have zero digital signal, but analog is decently coveraged.
What's preventing AMD from doing it? Maybe they did it in the past? is it Intel's fault that AMD has an inferior product, ridden with bugs?
Bullshit. What you're doing is making up numbers and then using Baye's theorum to validate your previous suspicions. As much as you try to play it off as such, you are not being rational or scientific.
Yahoo thinks they're worth more than $44.6 billion? What exactly does yahoo do, or own, that makes money?

If I had mod points, I'd mod you up. It's one of the most lasting, catchy and intelligent game soundtracks I've ever heard!

No one is asking for your social security address, your street address, or your first born.
Maybe, but at least we can hold our liquor.
The issue you speak of does not occur on my monitor either. Perhaps you have a PDF rendering issue?
