DaemonFCthat way the TV will downscale the higher resolution instead of the box doing it so that they TV can upscale it again anywayMay 15 19:41
DaemonFCI can either start at 1920 x 1080 and have the TV  deinterlace and downscale it to 1366 x 768 OR I can start with 1920 x 1080, have the box deinterlace and and downscale it to 1280 x 720 so that the TV can upscale it again to 1366 x 768May 15 19:42

Omar87schestowitz, so can a probability invoke itself?May 15 20:16
schestowitzPeople need to be taught that at schoolsMay 15 20:16
schestowitzA lot of science is based on statisticsMay 15 20:16
_goblinbut then if you think about it, probability is no more than yes or no, it will or it won't.May 15 20:16
Omar87schestowitz, I have learned about probability in both school and college.May 15 20:16

Omar87schestowitz, Can a probability invoke itself?May 15 20:17
schestowitz_goblin: it gets more complex at sub molecular levelMay 15 20:17

Omar87schestowitz, I mean for as simple as the coin example we've been taught at school, can it a coin give us a head (or a tail) by itself?May 15 20:21
schestowitzIt's not probabilyMay 15 20:21
Omar87correction: [omit the "it"]May 15 20:21

ThistleWebcant remember the details but that was the gist of itMay 15 22:47
ThistleWebthe charge they tried to get her on was the "lying on a website form" or somethingMay 15 22:48
schestowitzTo be fair, she's being a kid...May 15 22:48
schestowitzWhy would an adult do that... and to a kid?May 15 22:48
ThistleWebby knowingly signing up and stating she was a) a boy and b) 14 or 15 yrs oldMay 15 22:48

DaemonFCthe accounts only last for a year, but any serials you generate in that time remain validMay 15 23:12
DaemonFCand they'll reactivate even after your student account expiresMay 15 23:13
DaemonFCMicrosoft makes it ridiculously easy to do this kind of stuffMay 15 23:13
DaemonFCthey make it just hard enough so that anyone willing to go pay them willMay 15 23:13

schestowitzThey'll make you MVP againMay 15 23:14

DaemonFCthey leak these things on purposeMay 15 23:14
DaemonFCthat's probably not even a real administrator's accountMay 15 23:14
DaemonFCthey probably made it up to create a backdoor for people to get free copies of Windows and OfficeMay 15 23:15
DaemonFCgives them deniabilityMay 15 23:15
DaemonFClets them continue blasting "software pirates" while they leak their own stuffMay 15 23:15
DaemonFCand with their software activation system, they can turn every copy they leaked out off, at once, if they ever decide toMay 15 23:16
MinceRcompanies can't afford to get licenses that way, thoughMay 15 23:16
DaemonFCright, bigger targetMay 15 23:16
DaemonFCand Microsoft doesn't want to let themMay 15 23:17
MinceRso FLOSS is still the cheapest way for themMay 15 23:17
DaemonFCthose are the juiciest customersMay 15 23:17
MinceRnot just thatMay 15 23:17
DaemonFCMicrosoft won't give them an inchMay 15 23:17
MinceRalso it's probably a lot of hassle to do this legwork for each workstationMay 15 23:17
DaemonFCyeah, cause the Dreamspark serials are VLK x 1May 15 23:17
MinceR(and it's easier to detect)May 15 23:17
DaemonFCeach serial only ever activates one PCMay 15 23:17
DaemonFCit's almost like OEMMay 15 23:17
DaemonFCif your hardware ever changes enough to piss it off, it will never reactivateMay 15 23:18
DaemonFCI think the rule is 3 changes within a monthMay 15 23:18
DaemonFCor different motherboard modelMay 15 23:18
DaemonFCand it will make you reactivateMay 15 23:19
DaemonFCmotherboard always triggers it right awayMay 15 23:19
DaemonFCbut changing installed RAM, a hard disk, and your video card within a rolling 30 day period will also freak it outMay 15 23:19
DaemonFCso if I changed the installed RAM and hard disk today, I need to wait 31 days before changing the GPU outMay 15 23:20
DaemonFCor else Windows will freak out on me :PMay 15 23:20
schestowitzantifeaturesl yayMay 15 23:21
DaemonFCsometimes if you have an OEM serial, you can beg Microsoft to reactivate it on a new motherboard if you tell them your motherboard failedMay 15 23:21
DaemonFCbut they never do that for VLK, cause individual are never supposed to have thoseMay 15 23:22
MinceRbegging must feel greatMay 15 23:22
