Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, but then again some States tax every purchase and parcel of property one has and sets arbitrary ages for drinking, marriage and gun ownership, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

Posted by: gnome-girl at April 25, 2003 05:12 PMHehe, I wonder how many people will actually read it though? I mean does anyone really read EULA's -- aside from the Windows Refund Day geeks?
Posted by: Tim at April 28, 2003 02:53 AMi read the first half and found it pretty amusing, but only read that far because i had read your MT license rant (which i also found pretty amusing). if it were a real license agreement i would have ignored it and hit "I Agree" and moved on, oblivious to having just sold my brother into slavery and signed away the righs to 43% of my sexual prowess to big business.
i really like the windows license agreement because you agree if all hell breaks loose that the most you can sue for is $5. i wonder sometimes if anyone has sued for the finsky, i would take it if it were me. that way i would have only had to have paid $295 for XP Pro.
