Yes, but the GET request is encrypted before it is even put on the wire (that is, before it leaves your computer), and it is only decrypted at the other end, once it reaches Google. Anyone in between would see only an encrypted datastream.

It depends on the point of the assignment. If you're at your job, and you just need to get something working quickly, then you're not "cheating" by using a library or re-using someone else's code. But when you're in school, the point is to learn the material by solving the problem yourself. So if you just use someone else's solution, you're perverting the intent of the assignment, and that counts as cheating.

What's that? You mean a story that seemed to require all involved to be complete morons was revealed to be incorrect? You mean there was more to the story, which revealed that what really transpired was actually sort of reasonable? Shocking! Surely this is the first time this has ever happened.

I would gladly pay if someone was selling them for reasonable price and with instant download available.

If RealDVD is a piracy tool, then so is iTunes (or anything else that allows you to rip CDs).

Actually, I believe it is from a Fark photoshop contest. Sorry, no link handy...

Its a bloody video player man. It goes without saying that the OUTPUT is GRAPHICAL. Why wouldn't you want to USE a GRAPHICAL user interface to it?

I use aalib, you insensitive clod!

Ref tagging of that nature is not designed to track what page someone is coming from (which is what the HTTP referrer header gives you), but rather to track where users are clicking on the page. Did they go to their home page by clicking on the logo, or by clicking somewhere else? This can be useful usability data.

Oxymoron of the day: "unique copy"

If you install a piece of software, you click through an agreement. You are party to a contract(-ish thing, to get technical).

Here's my question. Most EULAs include a clause to the effect of "by clicking Agree, you agree to the terms of this license". Suppose I choose not to agree with that clause? Suppose I say to myself, "By clicking Agree, I agree to nothing in particular". Can the software's copyright holder do anything, legally, to prevent my use of the software? It seems to me that they cannot, although I am not well-versed in the intricacies of contract law.
