Basically, when you purchase software, you are purchasing the information and rights to use the software. Article 2B ... a great benefit in creating a uniform system for software products and services, however, this proposal for Article 2B does have major flaws. Article 2B employs a contracting model that excludes negotiation and that doesn t reveal terms of the contract to the customer until after the sale is complete. It also adopts a licensing model that says when you buy software, you are really only buying the right to use ... Mass-Market License is a standard-form, non-negotiable, license.

- 3778: Holden Caufield
- ... novels are results of spiritual reassessments or moreal reconciliation of specific characters. Considered as a more relaxed novel, Catcher in the Rye catches the spirit of the reader with its moral reconcilliation, defining the book's meaning as a whole. Holden Caufield serves as the protagonist in the novel by J.D.Salinger, Catcher in the Rye. Holden trudges through the book lonely, making assumptions of everyone's characters. Every character in this novel according to Holden is a "phony."

- ... which not necessarily was personal. Many think the character “Jane” was thought to have been after myself, hence the name Jane. But, that was not necessarily correct.

I thought the fact that only one person raised their hand was a good way of showing just how influential science is in everyone’s lives. I think that there could also be another theme for this book.
