From the TechRepublic Windows XP Tips newsletter. “Have you ever wanted to reformat the hard disk and reinstall Windows XP on a system but you didn’t want to mess around with Microsoft’s Product Activation after the reinstall? Fortunately, you don’t have to. As long as you aren’t making any hardware alterations, you can back up the activation status files before you reformat the hard drive and then restore them after you reinstall the operating system….

Status Inertia: The Speed Imperative in the Attainment of Community Status by Daniel Stewart
http://opensource .mit.edu/papers/stewart2.pdf

Abstract:
This paper examines the role of tenure in establishing social status within an online community of free software developers. As tenure increases, an actor's status becomes increasingly taken-for-granted, thus making it difficult for actors to generate mobility outside of their current social strata. The results of empirical analyses suggest that the broader community plays a major role in deciding one's social position-a judgment that can be made fairly quickly and decisively. Therefore, members of the community who desire high status should work quickly to establish a positive reputation or else run the risk of being cast into an inert low status social position.

'Patriot' Act Intact


'Patriot' Act Intact 07/09/2004 01:45 PM

UPDATED

  • NY Times: Effort to Curb Scope of Antiterrorism Law Falls Short. The library proposal, tacked onto a $39.8 billion spending bill, would have barred the federal government from demanding library records, reading lists, book customer lists and other material in terrorism and intelligence investigations. The antiterrorism law expanded the government's authority to secure warrants from a secret intelligence court in Washington to obtain records from libraries and other institutions, using what many legal experts regard as a lesser standard of proof than is needed in traditional criminal investigations.
  • UPDATE It was close, and the Bush administration and its Republican House allies had to threaten, wheedle and whine, even extending the voting time when they saw they were going to lose if the did things by the normal rules. But they prevailed. Slowly but surely, people are beginning to understand what overwhelming power a frightened Congress granted the executive in the wrongly named "Patriot" Act. Maybe, someday, Congress will recover enough courage to protect our rights instead of handing them over so -- forgive the word -- freely. Note: A troll whose posts I have banned from this forum pointed out, fairly for once, that it's not appropriate for me to imply that opponents are unpatriotic people. Certain acts may be anti-American in their impact, but certainly in this case they were the acts of people who love this country as much as I -- and our troll -- do.

    USATODAY.com - The mood was somber at FBI Director Robert Mueller's Christmas party in December 2002. Fifteen months after the Sept. 11 attacks, ashen-faced FBI officials thought the bureau would have to take the fall for the U.S. government's failure to prevent terrorists from killing nearly 3,000 people on American soil.

    At least Intuit realized what a waste of time and money it was to put product activation technology into their software. Once they realized the pointlessness of it, they issued a very public apology on the matter. Unfortunately, other companies aren't quite so enlightened. Symantec is having all sorts of trouble with their product activation technology, that is preventing many legitimate users from using the software they paid good money for. Symantec is now saying that they're working on it, but can't figure out what the problem is, and can't suggest a date when they'll offer a fix. Here's a simple solution: follow Intuit's lead and ditch the activation technology altogether. The simple fact is that the software is still getting pirated. You see offers for it all the time - and it only takes a hacker a little while to figure it out. So, the only people this is really impacting are the legitimate users of your product - and you're making their lives worse. Most of these people are going to go to a competitor, and will be quite vocal about why they would never purchase anything else from Symantec. Thus, it does nothing to solve the problem, angers your customers, and drives people to competitors. How does this make sense?

    04/03/2005 11:48 PM
    With the release of Creative Suite 2 (CS2) on Monday, Adobe Systems Inc. will also introduce activation for its entire CS2 product line. Activation is a process the customer must complete sometime during the first 30 days of use in order to verify that the product is using a valid serial number. Adobe says they are not changing the way they do business, rather enforcing the terms of the license agreement, which says the product can be installed on only two machines.
