yup, it is indeed a brand new copy straight from cclonline.com of XP Home OEM.
I'm just very concerned about this as this is involving other's people's money and my business.
Nophix, so you think im 100% in the right here then?
Many Thanks
-
by right do you mean because i opened the system up or just from what i said previously about the wording and "pre-installed of software" bla de bla...
cheers
-
well i mean i opened it up and changed the RAM just ot be sure to RAM wasn't dodgy...
but anyways, from what i said above, doesn't it seem that going by the WORDING of the System Bulder Licence, I am OK?
Sure, it's prob not what microsoft intended however by taking a step back, is it really resonable to ask a business to by retails copies for their customer's computers? It just sound a bit strange
-
well actually, i made the paperwork say "System Refurbishment" as apperently, a "system bulder" can be a "refurbisher".
Remember in the licence, it doesn't say that i have to "SELL" the computer. The computer doesn't even ned to be "new" but only "FULLY ASSEMBLED" and "DISTRIBUTED" which, according to the definations means when it leaves my control (i.e. when I give it back to them).
lol

yes and that's fine. I'm not enquiring weather or not they have to buy a new licence - i know they have to.
but i'm just wondering if I can install an OEM copy legally.
After reading the EULA which is fairly vague, i think i can however could someone correct me if i'm wrong.
-
some here have got the wrong end of the stick but never mind :)
The new version of the EULA does NOT include the non-prephapal hardware item (as too many people were giving them away with, for example, a broken piece of RAM). They now state that it has to be a "fully assembled computer system".
Now, this customer's PC is a fully assembled system, and as per the terms above, I am distributing it to them (as it leaves my control) and I am a systme builder as I pre-installed it (or even refurbished it).
I know it seems as if I'm answering my own question here but could someone correct me if they feel i'm wrong. I'm just going by the words and definations in the EULA.
Also, the OEM I sell them comes with a new sticker,CD and manual. Infact, in this customer's situation, their kid had ripped of their orignal OEM sticker lol!!
Many Thanks

Hey guys/gals,
I currently run a small IT business.
There is a customer who has messed up their XP on their PC, and they don't have a XP sticker (for the sake of argument, lets just presume it's illegial).
Am I allowed to install an OEM version of XP home on their pc??
I know OEM licence's are only for system builders,refurbishers etc... and I was wondering if this would be classed as system refurbishment even though i'm not seling them the computer (as they already own it!).
It also has to be "distributed" with a fully assembled computer system, it doesn't say sold. I'm just concerned weather or not giving a customer their computer back falls under this...
"We grant you the non-exclusive right to distribute an indivudal software licence with a fully assembled computer system"
"Distribution and Distrubute means the point in time when a fully assembled computer systemleaves the control of the system builder" - its doesn't say SOLD.
Also:
it defines system builder as: "An OEM,manufacturer,an assembler,refurbisher, or pre-installer of software on computer systems"
Cheers

VOIP Server!!!
Try Trixbox at http://www.trixbox.org
It's actually quite fun to get a server going as a VOIP server...
I started doing it just for the larf and now I use it everyday for my business
A PII shoudn't have much problem running trixbox (unless you plan to have like 15 calls at once...)
Put it into perspective...A WRT54GS can handle 4 calls at once and it only runs at 215MHz with 32MB of RAM (as far as I can remember..I scrapped that peice of junk for IPCOP).
Cheers

Just finished watching the new episode, and the camera mod and the photoshop brush segments were cool.
However, I've been watching your show from the beginning (discovered it around ep 2), and I must admit I'm considering not watching it any more. The amount of ads in the show is starting to get to me, this show you were up to 4 (geek2geek, godaddy, dreamhost, evolans). . If you really want to put that much advertisement in the show, at least put it all together in a big block and label it with an "And now a word from our sponsors" or whatever, so it's easier to skip over without having to guess whether a segment is going to be content or an ad. Even better yet, put the ads on your website here instead of in the video.
That is totally not fair and very ignorrant. Do you have *any* idea how much it costs to run an IPTV show??! Also, did you know that internet advertising and TV advertising are different things and pay completly differently?! Give the Hak5 crew a break! Advertisers don't want you to skip over their ads....if hak5 made this easy to do, they wudn't get paid! Frankly, if ur fussed about adverts, I'm not sure what can please you!
Keep up the good work Hak5! EVERYONE who watches the show should donate! $2 isn't a lot of money but it helps Darren,Wess Ali etc.. keep the show on the road!

i'm also under the suspicion that my MTU settings have something to do with this
-
i havn't used any monitoring software. So actually increasing connections would help? I think my brother uses bitcomet (sigh) which mite lock it down however I'm still not convinced that's the cause. Could this possible be a hardware fault in both the units? Like does it even sound like one?
Cheers :)

hey people I have a problem.
I have a ADSL connection (PPoA) and I have tried to connect a linksys WRT54g (and wrt54gs) to it.
I am fairly experienced with this stuff but Im stuck. I'v tried multiple modes and hardware:
1)Bridged Mode
2) Double NAT
3) Changed ADSL Modem
4) I even have changed the wrt54g to a wrt54gs
5) Loads of different firmware (dd-wrt,orignal,hyperwrt,hyperwrt thibor)
The problem is is that the web surfing is very slow especially in the evenings. The browser will hang on "Connecting to. . " or "Waiting for. . ".
Now I know you might think this sound like my ISP's fault however before when I just had the one router (no Linksys's involved), the speed was fine. Both my Linksys units were "Factory refurbished" from ebay but could this be a fault in both of them?
Uk Software Laws

Hello Everyone,
As we all know, DRM can sometimes legally prevent us from tinkering with our devices. The UK governement has launched a site where UK citizens can post "ideas" on how to cange the law. Here is a link to an idea that I created, and I encourage all UK folks here to vote highly for it.
http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/restoring-ci...tronics-you-own
There are already some ideas there about pulling out of ACTA, Repealing the Digital Economy Act, DRM, Encryption etc..
I encourage everyone to rate the relevant ideas highly, as well as submit your own. It is not often where we get a chance like this!
Hak On!!
