First off thanks for the grammer lesson my 7th grade teacher would be aghast. Second your right the bank does not like any competition when it comes to screwing over their victims, err customers.
We had a family business in AZ years ago dealing DRAM, CPU's etc and got a very large check one day. Deposited it, waited for it to clear and then started paying bills, ordering more inventory etc. Well couple of weeks after the deposit the branch manager decided we must be dealing dope because this deposit was like 10 times larger then anything we ever did and retro-actively refused the deposit and bounced 60 some odd checks! So one lawyer later we got our deposit back in the for of a cashiers check and 60 some odd letters of apology to our vendors. Oh and a 1000 bill from the lawyer.
Sure you do, the bill is due when its due and why should SEARS or Chevron make interest on m early payment. Lets face it banking is designed to scam the consumer.
But they never cover your expenses and God help you if their error bounces checks you wrote.When was the last time any bank apologized to your creditors or helped take you of Telechex?
stuffing AST SixPacks with 64k dram and using a hex editor and prom burner to change the head and cylinder setting for 10mb hard drives. Let me just say that yes maybe but I'm not sure:-)I mean we were doing that to sell machines and because software was growing into Everyone likes bright shinny objects and newer computers are just one example. That being said if a new shinny computer was cheap but did everything I needed to do then I may by it.
Do I need a nice fancy car when a little econo box will go the same legal speeds and moderate comfort? No but I want one! And just like that many people base their choices on the levels of availability, why have the skim if you can find a way to afford the cream?
Also the gaming industry and other software drive up the need for more power, even your Office suites need much more power today then even just a few years ago. So I think there will always be people wanting more power, needing more power and there will be people satisfied with low end.
I would love a Mac Pro, I have one of the original Mini's and while its a marvel of compactness its a dog when doing any multimedia (slingbox and iChat at the same time), but thats expected. I have a MacBook Pro as well and its awesome, I haven't needed to fire up my Toshiba for months.
This is news? Users on a silo'ed hardware platform, who pretty much have all upgrade to the latest version of OSX and are waiting for the release of Leopard in November aren't running out to buy another copy of Tiger? If I was Microsoft I'd be a bit worried about the numbers considering most current sales of Tiger involve a substantial investment in hardware and an obvious choice in OS philosophy. Where as most sales of Vista involve the loss of an XP user in upgrading and probably not a loss in a Mac user.
Mac fanboy and proud of it (It dual boots Gentoo so phtsssst!)
Actually this was a disinformation campaign by the Libertarian Party in one of many plans to make both parties look like asses. Then we realized they were capable of handling that chore all on their own!
Remember when HBO only came in as an analog signal and you needed a box to view it? Well take a similar step in a different direction, play the analog out the speakers but place in it a signal that locks out new analog recording devices. No need for auditory surgery if you train the masses correctly. Does this make us the little deviants?
Right but how many of the sheeple will hack a piece of equipment, its very unlikely. Then when everyone is use to not being able to record analog for DRMed sounds/video the government aka RIAA steps in and says "You don't need analog at ALL."
Goverment put the v-chip in tv's. Whats to stop them from convincing congress that all analog equipment sold in the future must have a filter that blocks recording? It wouldn't stop someone with a little know how to circumvent but once the sheeple are used to not being able to record things how hard would it be to just ban analog equipment? How long would it take 5 maybe 10 years?
You mean I've I decide to record my little girls made up song and then just share it with the world these bastards would demand a cut from anyone that plays it. Thats just fucking WRONG!
Those plates as well as being old and delicate contain a LOT more information then a piece of paper. Considering that something less then 1/4 the size of the period on the end of the sentence is important your scanning at a much higher resolution.

There's a thought.

when that bank errors in your favor, your screwed but when the bank errors in their favor, your screwed?

You all can survive 6 months (4 years for me) without a new CD.
DON'T FEED THE MACHINE IN ANY WAY!
Tell your friends.
Support independent artists.
ago I decide to tell the RIAA to screw off and have not bought one single album. Don't feed the beast.
Jack of all trades, Master of none! Pick something.

for Google. Man if I had a spare 5 million I'd be all over that, I love data.
the only people that are going to get screwed are the musicians themselves when we all quit having anything to do with them. nough said.
Conservation of energy or perhaps your trying to approach absolute zero?
