If it's a book, a music or movie cd that is still available for retail sale, then yup, there is such a thing a piracy. If it's any of the above that is no longer in print or being stamped or sold, then making copies of it and passing it around is not piracy.

98 Guy, are you saying that Apple with Steve Jobs and its prideful ways is
better than Microsoft. How about just going with Unix/Linux like for example Ubantu Linux which is really free and I have found it to be useful and then you can just not worry about Microsoft and Apple and your problem is solved because you are using software that is meant to be freely shared and freely improved upon and you 98 Guy can make Linux better for the masses and even easier to use and redirect your energy into a positive and a good project. "98 Guy" wrote: "Bill in Co." wrote: If you think personal values, and one's sense of personal responsibility and accountability, haven't changed much since then, then .... What a bunch of maroons - Getting all bent out of shape over the morality of passing around copies of a piece of software that Macro$haft hasn't even sold for 4 years and will never sell again. This is the same Milkro$haft company that has been fined many times for illegal business practices. And they've bought their way out of being prosecuted as an illegal monopoly because they gave the US gov't all the back doors they need to get into YOUR XP or vista computer. Micro$oft has a proven record of being a sociopathic corporate entity. They don't deserve to be treated with morality because they have none. |

Why would we or in particular I waste more time, again, on you,, you are
nothing, insignificant, hold no value, are unintelligent, and no matter how many times the issues and questions ARE answered, you never understand or comprehend the answer no matter how much it "smacks you in the head".. Heck you won't even review the cases to which you pointed which spell out the answers to your questions, YET AGAIN. BTW: if you bothered to check via the search engines you would find that the E-bay/online auction site issue was addressed in the courts... You're a waste of time and always have been. Yet another taking up space on this planet we could all do without. Mindlessly posting in the newsgroups to make yourself feel important. Another who should ask themselves the question of just what function you serve on this planet or ever have. Got kids?

Does this occur during the installation process, when the installer tells you to insert the Win98 CD? You MAY find that by directing to the system folder, the files are already installed. As others have suggested, search your local drives for the win98*.cab files after setting Folder Options to Show Hidden Files and NOT Hide Known Files Types, they MAY be somewhere on your drive. As a last resort, there are several sites which have the individual DLLs for download, however, make sure its a site you trust, AND that you check them with your A-V program before using. You can also check them by using Properties and reviewing Dates and Times of creation and modification, then comparing them to known good files. Note however, that there are programs which can modify those values. If you post the intended installation version and model of card/adapter, someone can monitor the actual needed files. Or if you already know what those DLLs are other help can be offered. -- MEB a Peoples' counsel -- _________ | | | "Normanny" wrote: | | Hi, anyone can provide me a copy of the Windows 98 Second Edition.

Heck, I even wrote to Bill Gates several times about my ideas back in the day
and the letters were never answered and included my thoughts about Windows 98 Second Edition and the future direction Microsoft should take if Microsoft was smart. I still think Microsoft saw the big dollar signs in the sky shall we say and thought there was more money to make with catering to businesses and their dollars and so consumers were left high and dry. Fortunately, now Dan K.'s research has completely changed how the Internet was thought of and you know what MEB there still is DNS Pollution out there and it is just that the breaking of the 'Net has now been made much harder by patching. Unfortunately, according to DHS there still seems to be a lot of unknown status out there as far as DNS Pollution goes and I still think some companies are not taking the issue seriously enough but after the company's data are compromised then I think they may finally wake up. smile "MEB" wrote: "Dan" wrote in message ... | I have taken it up with Microsoft and I receive no reply to that subject | although Microsoft seems willing to share ideas with me back and forth on | many topics but the issue of selling the 9x source code is not mentioned and | when asked about it the topic is ignored or the employee says they do not | know and all I am left with for my troubles is a big question mark and | nothing more. ???

From the Back Cover
"Tom Brokaw has delivered a gift to this and future generations by bringing us these inspiring personal stories of the average Joes, the GI Joes, the young men and women who served our country and shaped the foundation of post-war America. Although some became famous, most returned to their hometowns dedicated to building an even better world. We meet them in this book, whose pages give voice to the standards they set by their strength of character, informed by their experience during World War II. Tom has held up a mirror to reflect what may be their greatest legacy and pose in all of us the question--Is this generation--our generation--worthy as their beneficiaries?" --Steven Spielberg From what she has written here, I'm confident that Angel IS a worthy beneficiary! )) Dave -- |

Again, and your response supports my contention, it was the "Greatest
Generation" that created the excesses of consumerism and capitalism, which led to the Me Generation and its off-spring of today. Your selective memory seems to not recall the excessive consumerism of the fifties, of that very same "Greatest Generation" you so revere. It was certainly NOT the "hippies" who created this society that you so roundly reject, but rather, just the opposite. It was backlash against the consumerism of the Greatest Generation that created the Hippies, who still live and are perhaps among the most moral and honest, not to mention polite, Generation of this century. FYI, the "hippies" still exist, and they're some of the most giving, most polite and most generous of our sub-cultures. I know, I was one, still am inside, and I've lived around them all my life. And some of the greatest members of your own in-between generation, the Bohemians, but also the same people who built NASA and developed computers, some of their best, were the ones who created the Hippie movement. No, what is caused the "breakdown" you're whining about is the natural response against "polite" and "respectful" hypocrites who, just like Kennedy and astronauts and their kin, were part of the "Greatest Generation". Only what they got out of it was the meanest, crassest form of Capitalism yet, and it is THAT mean, crass, unfettered and mostly Republican-led deregulated capitalism that has led to today's societal despicable mores. Their counter-parts, the "Politically Correct" pseudo-Hipppies, just as capitalistic and just as lacking in true manners, have taken things to extremes, also, and the backlash is just as much against them. But there's hope. A lot of today's children and are out there on the front lines, working to bring self-respect back to our society, and self-respect is the only path toward respect for others. -- Gary S.
