Software Licensing In Accord With Global Warming Warnings...

It was originally just an add on for Crossword Compiler - the world's best puzzle maker since 1993. It seems like its another google story cookin up in the line. It is developed by Anton Lewis and its database is based on Princeton's WordNet project, however there are many thousands of corrections and additions to this base. Its database is also internationalized, and has information about pronunciations, derived forms, and numerous other features.

OK! Enough of suspense for the readers. However most of you must have concluded what im talking about. Yeah it wordweb and its terms for free version license.

The kind of licensing that the FREEWARE version provide is unique in its kind and to be more precise first of its kind.

Which I hope most of the software industry apply in their licensing terms. This will certainly motivate users to protect our eco system. Here i present a Extract of Terms of Freeware version.

  

"You may use the program free of charge indefinitely only if

  • You take at most 4 flights (2 return flights) in any 12 month period
  • AND you do not own or regularly drive an SUV (sports utility vehicle). "

Complete terms of condition Wordweb Free License

Is This The End Of World

Click On The Image To Get A Better Idea.

This has been discussed a bit lately, and I thought I would throw in my two cents. Why would you want to run 64-bit versus 32-bit on your personal computer? Simple, your 32-bit operating system contains a ticking time bomb (no pun intended) that could likely explode causing problems for you creating headaches.

It is known as the Y2K38 bug, and it comes to life Tuesday January 19 2038 at 03:14:07. If you’re not running 64-bit, your computer, or embedded system, will likely show the next date following as Friday December 13 1901 at 20:45:52. This is due to 32-bit systems running that are using the UNIX epoch timestamp. Is this a problem? Most definitely! You probably will not notice it on your laptop or desktop for casual use now, and you probably won’t notice it in 31 years, as we will most likely be past 32-bit, and possibly even 64-bit when it comes to our personal machines. After all, look at the past 30 years and how far we’ve come. However, look at embedded systems, such as microwaves, tvs, routers and thin clients. Many are 16-bit and even 8-bit systems, not to mention 32-bit. Look at code. I have heard of 8-bit binaries in production that were written 20 years ago still in production. Will 32-bit code still be in production 31 years from now? Very likely.

So, to add to the arguments of whether to run 64-bit or run 32-bit, I suggest running 64-bit just in case you write software that may be in production in 2038. I also suggest running 64-bit to prevent existing software from having issues in projecting future dates past January 19 2038. So there you have it. Run 64-bit.
