The Design and Implementation of laffer1

Well I feel like I got a lot done today. I worked on MidnightBSD for a few hours. The ET practice didn't happen. I did who knows how many loads of laundy and hung things up till we ran out of hangers. I've got a last load in the dryer. I started at 8am.

I'm hoping Caryn will get home soon. Its rather boring here. Our water/sewer bill was 50 dollars! That just sucks.

My dad continues to send me forwards. :(

I'm listening to a preview of mc hammer's new album.. Oh my... don't think i want to touch this.

Chad doesn't know what licensing is... lol.

According to this a volume license agreement is only an UPGRADE of windows and not the full version. Also OEM copies of Windows can not be transfered to other systems.

This could be a problem for JJ. I can't implement the myspace style or xfire friends list features in the same way. They also think they can generalize to all "friends" based systems although another patent supposedly doesn't overlap, I think it would in that case. How the hell did this get patented?
