I ordered some tickets online and was sent to a Web page which displayed the tickets (with bar codes and stuff), with instructions to print them out.
The Web page also had this big warning on it:
IT IS UNLAWFUL TO REPRODUCE THIS TICKET IN ANY FORM.
Um, this is a print-at-home ticket. The entire reason for its existence is to be reproduced in printed form.
I printed it anyway.
Nobody arrested me.
Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
