pointless, most other companies are closed, so who are you going to do

Re: [H] Smoking/ freedom of choice
if everyone lived by common sense and decency nothing would
need to be outlawed. After WW1 there were practically no gun laws, it was
legal ( and should still be ) to own literally anything the military owed
and there was practically NO gun crime to speak of.

Julian Hale said the following on 3/13/2005 12:37 PM:
We can all see how well outlawing drugs has worked, or alcohol in
the
'20s. Prohibition creates more crime and social problems than
the
drug itself. If you outlaw tobacco, people will just start
growing it
in their houses, yards, national forests, etc. Ever seen a
booby
trapped pot plantation on public land? That's what will happen
if you
outlaw tobacco, only the plant will change. On top of that,
imagine
someone getting 10 years in prison for growing and selling
tobacco...
does that sound even remotely reasonable?

You must call MS, order a new CD for $45 (that includes shipping) and wait 7 to 10 days. I tried to explain that a)if they had the COA and that meant they had a license to run the software, then why would they want to wait 7 to 10 days, and b)$45 was a lot of money for a CD with no license even including shipping. Heck, $10 would make MS money. The guy agreed that it did take a long time and that the price was high, but he pointed out, using another OEM CD might cause problems because: 1)the old Windows I was installing over might be customized (I told him I generally erased the drive) and 2)the OEM CD I had might not have all the drivers.

After all, if Microsoft does not like what was sent in, they do not have to allow you to authenticate it. I am speaking of major repair jobs which include replacing most of all components of a name brand computer. The largest job that I called Microsoft about was a Dell P4 job. The ONLY part I kept from the Dell was its P4 CPU. Microsoft approved my request via a telephone voice conversation. I used the Product Key from the COA on the Dell, of course. No matter what others have said in the past (some refer to a scoring process) I am convinced that you can get Microsoft approval to authenticate if you at least use the OEM CPU and the Product Key from the COA found on the OEM computer. You can end up with a nice job if you use a quality motherboard mounted in a quality case. The most commonly OEM parts I move over are the CPU, the Video Card (if it was not onboard), the memory, the hard drive and the CD/DVD devices. If your first attempt to authenticate fails, have the actual Product Key the OEM used when they installed Windows handy. It may work. Otherwise be prepared to call Microsoft and explain that you are doing a major repair job, even if the only component you brought forward was the CPU.

and the courts once ruled that black ppl where property too. is a catch 22, you do have a fair use right to backup anything but the caveat is the getting around the css protection which seems to mean yes u can unless we say u can't. this is nothing compared to what MS is up to. they just black listed a hell of a lot of OEM keys on factory built system to prevent quote: Another common misconception is that you can transfer a preinstalled or OEM copy of Windows from an old machine to a new machine. An OEM software license may not be transferred from and old machine to a new machine even if that machine is no longer in use. The end-user license agreement, which is granted to the end-user by the System Builder, specifies that the OEM System Builder license can not be transferred from the original machine to another PC. :'( At 12:50 PM 5/25/2005, Bill Poked the stick with: That is not correct. 321 Studios based their entire argument on the notion of fair use. Thus, if you own a DVD you have the right to make a backup copy for personal use. The courts, do not agree. Thus the hasty demise of 321 Studios. Their software had a built-in DeCSS decryptor. In order to make a backup copy using software, at some point, one must use a decryptor, which circumvents copyright protection. Software that includes a decryptor violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. But the digital cat-and mouse game continues with loads of software solutions that supposedly get around that. Though admittedly, most DVD burning solutions these days do not include a decryptor, using an add-on from another source.

Re: [H] plastic clip for 370

Re: [H] Strange Sunday Monday loss of signal
this is no help but my modem does the same thing, just not predictable. It comes back on it's own or instantly if I reboot the modem which leads me to think my problem is my modem. fp At 08:33 PM 6/13/2005, Winterlight Poked the stick with: I have had a COX cable account for about six years. About three years ago I got my own Linksys modem. I never have a problem, my line almost never goes down, and when it does, it comes up again pretty fast. However, in the last month, my line has been going down on Sunday night anytime between 8PM and midnight, then it may come back on for 20 minutes at times, and then go down again until finally I will shut down for the night. Monday morning, I will have to power off the LAN, and start everything back up, beginning with the cable modem. Then during the day ... it will go down again, in which I will probably have to repeat the shutdown start up process again at least once. Then all of sudden everything is fine again until the next Sunday night. This happened last Sunday and Monday, it happened this Sunday and Monday, and it happened three Sunday Mondays ago. When it went down today I called tech support. I thought this could not be the modem because it is only on Sunday and Monday, it is unlikely the cable because I have a digital cable TV box that works OK. It has to be some kind of IT thing going on... right? So I called when it went down this afternoon, they confirmed that I wasn't getting a signal, but they said they had nothing scheduled and weren't doing anything. Nor had they been getting complaints. He agreed that it was unlikely my modem and wanted to make an appointment for a service tech come out and check the line. I said I would think about it. Right now I'm really pressed for time and I don't want to spend hours waiting on a cable guy to tell me what I already know. If it happens again I guess I have no choice but to have the tech come out but I don't see it as a line or modem issue that only happens on Sundays and Mondays?!? It has to be them working on the systemright? Anybody have any other ideas? -- Tallyho ! ]:8) -- Anybody can say they'll do something, few actualize it.

but there is a lot of construction going on and I wonder if the network
can handle the traffic. some of these new houses have phone, TV, and
