Thats interesting because one only need to read the EULA to see that MS says it is not responsible for any shit that hits the fan as a result of installing windows xp.
For simplicity sake, just install linux until you get your ruling.
BUT - Im sure if you show the recipt in your records to the judge saying that you installed something else then it would be the same.
The whole idea here is that the EULA that one violates and gets them sent to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison on violation ALSO says that if you don't like it, you can get a refund.
All of this would be mute if it just said "if you don't like it, don't install it, and eat a dick."
Damn it. I had this idea YEARS AGO. Had I only written it down and filed, I could have lived the american dream and became stinky filthy rich by doing nothing:(
Think of an old diner, but in place of the jukebox at the end of every booth, you have a touchpad menu that lets you order everything right there whenever you are ready. If you need your waitor, the push of a button says "get your ass over here." You don't need drink sensors because if you buy a drink, you have a universal fountain right at your table, ready to refill water, soda, beer even!
I was going to sign up for the class action lawsuit but I spent 2 hours going through OSDN sites and buying stuff from thinkgeek. I even think I somehow got signed up for a free trial of VS.net from microsoft.
I cant say that im in charge of any cisco routers. Well, I am but I luckily don't ever have to mess with them and have moved away from using them but thats another story.
However, you have to email cisco to get an update from their screw up?
?????
Ill remember this when it comes time to buy network hardware.
Well, if they can get a guy convicted for something he was planning to do and had not done it yet (and it wasn't murder) then why cant they sue people for things they haven't done?
I mean, its sick-twisted-wrong but it makes sense unfortunatly.
I have been wanting a Tablet PC and I really really dont have a desire to give any money to Microsoft for similar reasons on why I don't buy CDs. But thats for a whole different issue.
Im more interested in this distro. Is there a demo version out there somewhere. I will probably spend more time looking deeply into this but is this the distro with the built in winex stuff that runs win32 apps easily?
Im dealing with a lot of small offices and we thought we would do the trial version of SLOX. So far I am far from impressed. The big issue has been the sorting of contacts by COMPANY instead of something like... LAST NAME?!
Also, the outlook connector needs some more work. The cost is also a bit on the high side ($1250 for a year, and only $1250 for a year. I cant buy say a month to see if it is going to be worth $1250).
Also, changing the interface for your users seems like it would not be very fun but if you had a large crew on the job, I bet it could be done.
If you dont mind all your users just using the web interface, then its not bad... but not great.
This case is just huge and I am adicted. I read all the SCO links etc.
I need to sue slashdot because maybe I am losing money because I keep reading their stories. Seriously, if DirectTV can do it, why cant I, Mr. Joe Average, do it as well?
An estimated 3 million people illegally watch satellite television using devices that unscramble satellite TV signals. The industry estimates it loses $4 billion a year in revenue.
So do they really expect that those 3 million people, each would pay $1333.33 a year to them if they didnt steal the signal?
I know that a lot of people are getting very sick of the SCO stories. Maybe they would consider a SCO catagory and thus a SCO filter.
However, its not THAT bad. On top of that, this whole thing is just facinating. When the dust settles, whoever has been following this and knows some of the inside tracks could seriously write a killer book. The things going on in this case just blow my mind and today is yet another example.
The best thing I would want a computer infront of me for is information
What is my grade? What did I get on that last assignment? When is the next assignment due? Any errata on that? Can I chat with other students in the class re whatever I want?
Right on! It drives me crazy to read all these stories (on my pda) about how 802.11b > * . Grr. I do NOT want to go from hotspot to hotspot on my cell phone. Why do these crack smoking writers keep thinking that wifi is this amazing shiznit?
Then, there is the whole Bluetooth v Wifi debate... thats not even a debate. Seriously, I want to close my eyes and wait for that shit storm to pass.
Wifi only as a time killer? Maybe... but think outside the box (heh). I use wifi on my Pocket PC all the time when I am on campus... to read the current news / message boards while I take a crap. Crude? Yes. Enjoyable, yes!
Actually I enjoy it more because ive taught my clients to IM me most of their questions, so I can easily respond while I am on campus.

Wth? I guess I hit tab:(
Anyways, in class we talked a lot about how the Euros conquered. No, the natives (aztecs, incas) were not wiped out - they were assemilated (sp?). Go to Mexico today and you can see this clearly.
Also, as the euros moved in they thought they had a pretty primitive culture on their hands. No wheel, no horses + plows, etc. Well, the euros had a very unique situation to view civilizations that had grown on the other side of the world. Instead they killed, and you know the rest of the story.
I just find it amazing that these cultures were so advanced and yet never had the wheel. They just... didn't need it. What other things today do we have that when we find out that our neighbor doesn't have, we have to wonder how do they live?

I loved my Mexico History class. It was so informative on many levels. My profesor talked about this guy and his current research.
Its funny because I just setup my first authoritive DNS server ever this week. It was fun stuff.
I used safari.oreilly.com to get me the DNS and BIND book + other helpful things all for (well free for 2 weeks) $15. Thats just friggen awesome.
Ill just add this little tidbit: SBC has its in-addr.arpa. shiz setup as IN-ADDR.ARPA. Aparently this makes a big fucking difference. So, if tomorrow you decide to celebrate 20 years of DNS by setting up a new authoritive server with SBC, make sure you setup your zone file to be authoritive for IN-ADDR.ARPA. not in-addr.arpa. like the books say:)
Why doesn't everyone just turn themselves in. The legal system will be backlogged and this is the ONLY WAY congress will see that we arent talking about Pirats (narrr) but real people.

Not for me sir.

Ive purchased a handfull of laptops recently for customers and they all came from best buy. Why that damn store?
3 years of protection, including if they travel outside of the USA. 3 years of battery replacement, etc. etc. etc.
Those god damned PSPs are handy on a *few* things.
SO - If I am going to spend $1000 on a laptop, getting $200 off from the MS tax makes the price just right
Recently I had to figure out Bind and then I wanted to get down on this whole "blog" scene. I was able to read both Oreilly books for only $10.
When it comes to Oreilly stuff, noting beats safari.

Never again do I want to see "street cred" on slashdot.

You hear stories every so often about some "hacker" who gets into a system, does nothing, tells the sysadmin, and gets arrested/fined/sued, etc.
But when a newspaper does it, its just reporting? Id be raising hell if I was a parent and some newsie saw my kid's psych evaluation!
Never heard it called a backplane before. Where are you from, if you dont mind my asking?
IF you mean what I think you mean, you can thank AMD's Hyper Transport tech for that.
