you're a student, use the student versions. Ususally about $100.
BTW, what the fuck makes you think that you have a *right* to have software for free? They charge that much because the market bears it. You don't like it, don't use it. But don't be some pussy boy and complain about it and then steal it. Don't use it. Period. Or better yet, write something that does exactly what you want.
Oh, wait, that might take time, and energy, and resources that you don't have. Hmmm, I wonder why that is? Maybe because it cost money to make these programs? Maybe you need to have time and energy invested in it.
Not to sounds rude or anything, but *why* can't you afford to buy a house? Where do you live? $1300 a month in mortgage is a nice house, plus there are plenty of first-time homeowner plans that let you put little of no money down. I understand the lack of a bank willing to give you a loan if your income is flucuating widly.
But back to my point, why can't you afford a house? How is your money spent? I am geniuly curious.
Damn! How did you find a 5000 sqft house for $225,000? Is it new, old, in bad shape, etc? Here in Columbus, Ohio, a 5000 sqft house in decent shape in a decent neighboorhood with a yard would run you around 380-500. Please, do tell
Just to let you know 99.99% reliablity is equal to about 52 minutes of downtime a year (52.56 to be exact). Where as 2 minutes of downtime a year is about 99.9996% reliability.
Sure, they cost less than a dollor to physically produce, but a lot more to make (Studio cost, etc). I wrote a post awhile back about this, but the jist is, they average CD cost a big record company around 5-6 dollars to make and they sell it for 9
You're fine up to the last step. Giving her a copy of a mp3 ripped from your licensed version is not allowed. If you gave her the CD and the license for it, she would be fine.
I think repairing doesn't fall under "fair use", but I am not sure. Either way, as the law says, you can only have fair use on the private use of copies that are made from media that you have a license for.
You're forgetting one smaller part: radio stations have permission to do such things. The record companies have given the stations rights to rebroadcase the song, etc in exchange for airplay, promotion of the song and the record.
I posted this yesterday, but I will do this again: Ok, I have heard this argument *so* many times that I have to refute it. Let's walk though some numbers and see if we can understand some of the process. (Note these are educated guesses, so don't be too harsh). Standard Price for a CD:$15 -- well, where I am at (Columbus, Ohio) you can buy CD's for somwhere between $11 and $12 new from some smaller stores, where they can't afford to take a loss on the CD. They most definetly have a mark-up on it, probably somewhere in the range of 15%-25%. Taking a 20% margain, and an average price of $11.50, that makes a wholesale price of $9.50 per CD. What the Record Company provides : They provide the cost of recording,distribution, marketing, sales, A&R, etc,etc. This is not free! So continuing on with our example, the avearage album sells around 100,000 copies (think about this, for every huge band, there is a no name). Most "major" albums cost on the average of $200,000 to make, plus another $200,000 to market, plus videos, overhead, distribution, etc, bringing a total to around $500,000 for an album. So on the average, it cost the record company $5 per album in cost *above* producing the physical media, so adding that in, we are @$6 per CD. Add in tour support, and paying the band after they have paid of the advances, etc. You are looking at an average cost for a CD at around $6, and they sell it for $9. Now, I know my numbers aren't exact, and averaging anyting can taint results, but my point is, is there is more to a CD then the cost of a physically making the CD. Take that into account!
Nope, you have the right to make one backup copy off the media *you* bought. You bought a media with a particular licnese, and you have the right under that license to make a copy for your personal use. However, if you have a copy made from a media with a different license (every indiviual copy has a unique license), you are breaking the law.

Another issue to consider is that none of the MP3s above that I don't upload anyway, are in violation of copyright. I own every single album that Metallica has released here in Australia, and everything in there is just encoded off of my own CD collection.
Did you encode these mp3's off of your licensed copies that you purchased? If not, you are not legal. Fair use allows the copy of the licensed copy *you* purchased.
why are they sellouts? Because they want to get paid for their work?

No, the Quake2 Engine is not GPL'd, the original Quake engine is. There are still Engine licenses that have not release their game yet using Q2 (most notiably Dakitiana)
You answered your own question. Most kids coming out of college don't see an intrinsic value in pursuing a degree > then a BS. Your company is the the excemption, not the rule terms of wanting a graduate degree. Why pay an extra amount of money for a MS that maybe worthless except for a couple of jobs when you can get a job straight out (or even before) for nothing less then $45k
You can run ICQ behind a MS Proxy server no problem. Just install the proxy client, and set ICQ to be *not* behind a proxy or firewall. This is all assuming that you are on a windows machine with ICQ. I am doing this right now

It is illegal. You allowed to make a copy of the media that *you* bought. The license allows that only
