Expect to see longer and fancier words on this blog starting today as I followed the advice of Rick at Lifehacker and installed WordWeb. Now when I [Ctrl] + right click any word in any program WordWeb pops up with dictionary and thesaurus entries for that word.
Rick was right. The program is the best thing since beef jerky, but their licensing agreement is even better:
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).If you do not qualify you must uninstall the program after the 30-day trial period or purchase WordWeb Pro. The license is designed to provide a small incentive for people with massively unsustainable emissions to cut down.
Inspired, I’m updating the EULA for this blog. You may read anything here free of charge unless you are an asshole. If you fail to meet this minimum qualification you’ll need to go read something else. Start here. By reading this post you agree to the terms of this license. Also, turn out the lights if you’re not going to be in the room, and don’t meditate in the refrigerator.
