1:11:03
but it was clever of them
1:11:04
And, in an event, the judge didn't buy it
1:11:10
While ordinarily we in the Linux community are
rather worried about
1:11:13
letting Microsoft become the issue,
1:11:16
but there was a Slashdot article
about December of '98
1:11:22
where a fellow named Matt at the noodle
had pointed out that...
1:11:29
the, a gentleman in Australia has managed
to receive a refund for
1:11:33
the unused copy of Windows that
came with his computer.
1:11:38
So he declared the 19th of January, was it January?
1:11:43
err, no, It was February. It was February.
Oh, I'm sorry, the 19th of February...
1:11:46
he declared 19th of February
Windows Refund Day.
1:11:49
and he encouraged everyone to go to
the computer manufacturers,
1:11:51
and return their unused copies of Windows...
1:11:55
as it was specified in the
Windows End-User License Agreement.
1:11:59
It's important to remember that
in the License itself, it says that
1:12:02
you can receive a refund if you don't use the software,
1:12:08
and that the manufacture is bound by law to do this...
1:12:12
or it was bond by contract.
1:12:14
and we found if you called up
these manufactures, they basically said...
1:12:18
"Stop bothering me kid." and hung up on you.
1:12:21
We didn't really wanna sort of giving out our location,
1:12:24
or where we were going to meet, until...
1:12:28
you know, the very last seconds.
1:12:29
What we did is, we have people meet
at the place where we could control
1:12:33
in the different towns around here.
1:12:35
So I was the San Jose marshal, and I believe Nick you were...
1:12:40
I was..., Rick Moen and I did San Francisco.
1:12:42
Right
1:12:43
and so we had maps there and we
handed them off everybody who was coming.
1:12:48
Well, we actually met at a Denny's
That's just outside the Foster City limits...
1:12:53
Foster City city limits,
1:12:55
which meant also just outside of
Foster City Police jurisdiction,
1:12:59
which meant any, any incidents
that happened at the meeting point
