Most bands have only one drummer through the life of the band, because the drummer's style defines the band so much. If that drummer leaves the band, or spontaneously combusts, the band often drifts into obscurity.
Admit it...you're a drummer. And you just made that up. Name one band that went under after the drummer died/left. Genesis? Even the Who survived the loss of Keith Moon.
I can honestly say this is the first time I have ever seen Vista compared to first class.
As I think about it though, it does quite fit. Overpriced? Check. Doesn't get you where you are going any faster? Check.
There we have it. Vista IS a first class OS!
Perhaps I should stop trying to be subtle in my posts and carry a sledgehammer... (yea, I'm new here)
It's not a bad idea. Subtlety doesn't go over well with some geeks (that whole denser-than-rocks thing and all). One need only look at the number of posts that simply say "wooosh" to back this up.
Which is afaik illegal because it can be argued that the company literally lost money due to people not watching the episode at air time, causing a loss in commercial revenue. You're right, that could be argued. I accept the offer.
The commercials had already been sold for the airing. "The company" lost nothing. Those buying the already-purchased commercial time can claim they lost money by not getting a return on their investment (they assumed a certain number of eyes would see their ad).
If you both choose the "take as much as you want" plan, then I would think it obvious that you both pay for the "take as much as you want" plan. If Granny discovers that "as much as she wants" is only three feet a month, then she can either get the "ten feet a month" plan, which will more than serve her needs, or continue paying for the "take as much as you want" plan. If she chooses the "take as much as you want plan", then again, there's no point in whining that she's paying the same as everyone else who chose the "take as much as you want" plan.
Man, you people better hope I don't get this one on metamod (which I suppose now I've tossed out the window, but oh well).
This is the same head-in-the-sand crap we've been hearing for months now. "It will be ROCK SOLID! No way will anyone ever break it! This is the absolute best, most secure copy protection ever! We fin...wait, what? It's broken already? DAMN!"
It's dead. You lost. As we all have been telling you for months now. "All is not lost, we'll change the key!" Yes. You will. And in less time than it took you to change the key, and at far lesser expense...we'll get that one too.
Face it. We're coming to your house. If you take the numbers off, we'll just go to the house with no numbers. If you take the numbers off from the neighbor's house, we'll just come to the house next to the house with no numbers.
but it's fair to ask why Grandma down the road who uses her DSL to read e-mail/play Bejeweled is paying the same price as I am when I leave bittorrent running 24/7/365 Because Grandma chose to. If you purchase 1000 yards of string when all you needed was a foot-long piece to tie up a package, you really have no business whining that you have to pay the same price as everyone else buying 1000 yards of string.
So, the message here is: don't try to download copyrighted stuff and you won't get sued for downloading copyrighted stuff. I'd ask what color the sky is in that little world of yours, but clearly the only choices are black or white.
However, the world the rest of us live in doesn't operate that way.
Actually I find it quite strange you'd even make that statement here. Why visit here if you clearly read neither the articles nor the comments?
Right off the top of my head I can't think of a feasible way of beginning to clean this up. Give Superman a golf club and tell him to have fun.
No wait, Green Lantern. Save the cost of the golf club.

There's no way this will escape being modded 'Redundant' (and I appreciate the humor in doing so!), but it was so worth it.
Flash drive? Yeah sure, I might consider accepting a dongle of sorts and popping it into the USB port when I want to access my account info. Of course, you still need the password and pin and all the other fun stuff, if just the dongle itself could access my account I'd smash it with a hammer.
Flash software? Were my credit union (what's a bank?) to require this, I would close my account in a...well, you know.
Ripping off a charity for a dead soldier's family? What charity would that be? I'm not even asking for proof that it even IS a charity, just give me the name.
Look kids...if you want to say PayPal is a bunch of boner-biting bastards, I'm right there with you. But do try to at least get the facts lined up first.
What I got out of the article is that the guy never claimed to be a non-profit. No, you didn't get that out of the article. You made the assumption yourself based on the very carefully chosen phrasing, which I quote.
When we set up the fund, we attached it to a Paypal account, because we thought that would make it easier to contribute. Turns out, though -- as we learned through two more hours on the phone with these jerks yesterday -- that they set up the initial Paypal account as a "charitable organization" account. (We do not know why they did this. We did not ask them to.) I am quite certain the conversation went something like "Hey, I want to set up this account to get donations for blah blah blah...I'm not going to profit from it, all the money will go to this blah blah blah".
Did he ask them to set up the account as a charitable organization account? No. Does this in and of itself indicate he never claimed to be a non-profit? No. Does the article at any time say he did or did not claim to be non-profit? No. Are there amazingly stringent laws governing such things? Yes. Could he have taken the time to handle this correctly himself rather than whine about someone else supposedly not taking the time to handle things correctly? Yes.
Wow...we're way past three strikes here. Gonna have to call this one out.

Just want to remind everyone, that when the ant revolution does come, that Oxyclean(tm) DOES in fact kill ants.
Holy crap, he was right! Nothing beats the power of oxygen...even Death itself!

What about The Glork?
Never heard of them? Well there you go.

Fixed that for you.
I guess we'll need to format them in a purifying fire then.
Ummm...nobody picked up on the Thomas Covenant reference, or did I read a little too deeply?
Yes but that's area 51. Area 51A might have aliens. Unfortunately, the location of area 51A is also classified.
No it isn't, it is in Springfield. But considering the location of Springfield itself is classified...
Really? Am I the one falling for a bad joke now? Lloyds is pants

I call bullshit. They desperately DO want to raise subscriber rates. They just don't want to share with anyone else.
Really? *runs off to patent teleporting things to the sun as a means of trash disposal*
Send it to me. I'll be glad to check it out for you.

I'm sorry, but I must disagree. Based on your example of two possibilities, Blu-Ray will win.
Because there is no known universe where the average consumer makes an apology for being a dumbass.
That might actually work. It's not like the 'law' setting when DST starts and ends has any real teeth.
What are they going to do if you break the speeding laws in this country*? Pull you over, give you a ticket.
What are they going to do if you break the tax laws in this country*? Lock you away.
What are they going to do if you break the time laws in this country*? Not a bloody thing.
*For purposes of this discussion, 'this country' means the United States of America.
Took them three months to get this news across the pond?
