Just gonna leave this here...

"Third party applications are programs written to work within operating systems, but are written by individuals or companies other than the provider of the operating system. "

Eve is a 3rd party app. Not windows.

And since operating these 3rd party app's, does most certainly provide an advantage they are correctly and should remain against eula.

Just posting in the directed thread.

"Windows is a application that operates at a high languge communcating a interface to the computers binary code." Does not make windows a 3rd party app.

Besides you can try to play semantics all you want.

"having overviews from other EVE clients as overlays on one EVE client would allow a player to get real time intel from all those other game instances without having to switch to the other windows. Similarly, overlays using elements from a second or multiple other EVE clients to allow the player to activate modules etc. on those other game instances without switching to the other client windows are clearly in violation of our rules."

Says it all. Doesn't matter if you like it, doesn't matter how you want to interpret the definition of a 3rd party app. You say you can do the same thing just using windows... then do it. Then the eula won't make any difference.

Just gonna post this for you one more time...

"Third party applications are programs written to work within operating systems, but are written by individuals or companies other than the provider of the operating system. "

And from another source...
"Third party software refers to programs that are developed by companies other than the company that developed the computer's operating system."

So unless you can tell me what operating system windows operates under then you're just continuing to speak out of the wrong orifice. Your argument reeks of desperation at defending your isk cow.

Making up your own definitions doesn't really have binding on a EULA written up by lawyers that are better at this whole semantics game than you are.

Windows does not operate under an operating system for the simple reason that it is an operating system.
Negative logic rule.

Exactly and windows is an operating system application which makes it a separate and special type of application as are all operating systems.

You can pop as many definitions as you want, it's pretty much irrelevant. A third party application is any application not developed by the first party developer. In this case the first party developer would be CCP, so they class anything outside of EVE as third party, including the operating system. You cannot chop up your EVE client regardless of whether or not you are doing it through you OS directly on an app installed on it.

Quoting myself because I simply can't edit fast enough to prevent double posting every time.
You can argue the definition all you want, I can accept the consideration of windows being 3rd party in relation to an EvE client. Fine and dandy, the eula still has the bases well and fully covered.

^^
Correction:
Windows also runs on it's own hardware (not software) by the way, as it does run on IBM hardware and clone as well.

Special relationship such as windows and MacOS or Linux?

What is your definition is those OSes and how it is related to in the EULA.
Also, the 3rd party license is not the same as the EULA.
The contract, not treaty or convention is the difference, if not an exception explicitly said, whether relevant or not, or omitted...

Which they quite literally reserve the right to do in the licensing agreement you agreed to when you started your account(s).

That is not news to me, and if you can make hardware and can't make OS to run software on, you will need to hire an entity to create it or do it or run it.
Hardware is not designed to run software without OS.
Even console systems like PS3 or other have their own OS.

So, you are interpreting some of the info you mention as if to try to steal from me or try to discredit me, or both.


Edit:
The communication system is also unforgiving enough to cause blatant errors such as the omission of the quoted text from you, and make it too hard to verify how it occured and why enough to be at peace with it.

A device that does not have a operating system is not a hardware device that is considered to be a computer.
I just did talk about hwardare running or , not running rather, without an operating system.
Edit:
(hardware not hwardare, I don't refer to radar, either radar on a carrier or with dropped carrier...)

If you try to load an XT without a BIOS and OS floppy loaded to boot it, it will not run the OS.

Edit 2:
a :roll also was also added from a 3rd party, or 4th party.

I built my computer. before i installed a operating system it was still a computer.

You seem to be missing the point in regards to the simple phrase, "in their discretion." I don't think you quite grasp that it's not only extremely vague but it's intentionally that way. The eula has not changed, their discretion has. Hence... "their discretion."

It means neither... It means they can decide on a case by case basis what to allow and what not to allow. You are seriously grasping at straws and I'm done wasting my time trying to talk any sense to the senseless. If you think you can interpret it however you want then go ahead. I'll look forward to your "I've been banned and it's not fair" post in GD.

Perhaps you banned me twice and I have to pay double to find out wheher or not.
Perhaps you support this kind of activity and are only trying to bait me into committing myself or be off topic or God knows what.

Perhaps, like me, you were unfairly banned 3 times already, as in 3 strikes in a baseball game.

I'm not gonna read the whole thing, I'm on screen keyboard, with USB external power as backup power, ups.
They can do what they want.
They designed it like that.

Edit:
It's not the ground.
They may want details and explanations from you.
I don't know you yet and if I do I didn't know until I get more info.

If they mention reason x is why b happened, it doesn't really matter because of a.
If you omit their concern it may be your responsibility.
It may be a complain.
If the complain is malicious or invalid how will they find out?
Where is your analysis on balance of powers and why is it viable?
Is your credit scientific, legal, educational or other?
What about credit for art?
What about NDA?
Non-competition clauses?

I prefer a billion trillion.
It's more worth it to me and every one can get a better share.
I can't do much with $42, and I got engaged to my only future wife at 43.
I would rather die without marrying someone else even if that meant war.
I'm sure that is very common as in common law.
