Why not take the 5GB for $30 and just plan to hit the $75 dollar excess cap? That would get you unlimited access for only $105 dollars, and you might pay as little as $30 if your usage is incredibly light.
Because it fits the definition of theft: taking something that doesn't belong to you. At no point does the definition of theft require that the good not be in its owner's grasp any more, it just says you're taking what doesn't belong to you.
"Noun theft (plural thefts) The act of stealing property."
"Verb to steal (third-person singular simple present steals, present participle stealing, simple past stole, past participle stolen) (transitive) To illegally, or without the owner's permission, take possession of something by surreptitiously taking or carrying it away."
Those are real definitions. Perhaps you should understand what the words you use actually mean before using them to argue your point.
I wish my clients would be satisfied with me retaining an anchor to their fileserver shares? Would make backing things up much easier if thats all they required when they requested 2 week data retention.
Ah, but what if the Gym advertised that you could could use 500 machines at once? Would it still be abusive for you to bring all 500 children every time you went?
"Always on 10Mbps/1.5Mbps" is what I pay for. In actuality what they are selling me is "access to 10Mbps/1.5Mbps limited to 40GB per month, then you get 10Kbps/10Kbps."
This reminds me of a situation I was recently in. My neighborhood was approached by a natural gas drilling company who made a bid to purchase mineral rights for our property. Many of us accepted their bids and now receive a few hundred dollars a year from them. However a large group decided they would hold out, forming an alliance that demanded 4x what we got. Well, after 2 months, the company withdrew their bids and those people who were greedy got nothing.
They acted as if the oil company had stolen money right out of their pockets. Quite pathetic.
I felt exactly the same way, except I pointed to my old(or ancient depending on your perspective) creative MoVu. It had 1GB of storage AND a display for half the price of the shuffle, and months before apple ever released it. Oh yeah, and it had an input jack, a microphone, a FM tuner and connected via Mini USB.
But alas the marketing team at Apple is the real reason they own most of the market, not the merit of their product.
While I completely agree with your sentiments, I doubt your 2inch mids would produce 18-20000Hz with a relatively flat response rate.
I could buy an incredible set of monitors and enough foam for a large room with 1500 that would blow these guys out of the water though. I just dont understand the obsession with headphones, especially when they are going to be pumping 160Kbps AAC out of an iPod.
Ive been sending sms messages to sprint users for free for years now. Just add @messaging.sprintpcs.com to then end of their phone number and send it as an email.
Im sure most other providers do something similar.
Free in-store rentals are handled differently from in-store exchanges.
You get x number of free rentals per month from the store. You are able to return your mailed movies for instant exchange, which does not count towards those free in-store rentals and they would immediately begin mailing your next movies. However, now they have changed that procedure somewhat, so that when you exchange your mailed dvd's you must return those before the next movies will be mailed to you. Its got nothing whatsoever to do with your free in-store rentals.
I am not a customer nor an employee, but my mother has the service and she enjoys it alot.
Being a friday evening, I entreat you to please avoid using "stream", "streamed", and "streaming" seven times within as many lines of text. Many of us have already been drinking and you are hurting our brains.

Why TV Lost
·
· Score: 1
My mother has finally crossed over, asking me to setup an RSS feed for American Idol on her computer. She missed an episode and I pulled it for her. When she realized she could watch a 2 hour slot in less than an 1.5 hours, she was hooked.
Its only a matter of time before she's pulling the rest of her shows this way.
My computer turns itself on every morning, so 3 seconds is more than enough time to move the mouse and bring it up. My monitor is only 22" however, but I have two of them. The room isn't very deep though, so it works out pretty well for me. It probably has 3x the contrast and half the latency of your tv though, so Ill call that even. Its in my media room with a couch and my stereo. I don't have to chose from channels though, my content is downloaded, sorted and stored for me via RSS for viewing any time I want. I can control them via my logitech wireless media remote, so i guess thats close enough.
My mother even downloads her shows through RSS feeds now. TV is on the way out man.

Nearly 2 Kilometers if you figure the average cost at $20 USD per DVD.
Thats nearly as far as a chinese dog sawm to feed her puppies: http://cgullworld.blogspot.com/2007/08/chinese-dog-swims-2-kilometers-to-feed.html
Printing press destroyed society
Home VHS recorders destroyed the movie industry

250,851,833 cars in the US
2,428,202,240 acres in the US(less 6% water)
Your right, theres nowhere near enough space to plant 250 million acres of tree's.
When compared to other methods of heating ones home, waste heat from incandescent lighting is incredibly inefficient.

I for one would welcome a monopoly over a lack of any service.

That sound you hear is several FBI vans and helicopters surrounding your house.
In this case, shouldn't the moderation be + Redundant?

Anyone who can afford an iPhone and 3g data plan should have no problem adding unlimited text to their plan. IIRC its only $10 dollars monthly.

Thank you,
Drunk Sladhsot Reader.
Someone booked for DUI will always be slurring their speech, staggering, have bloodshot eyes, etc.
If it looks, waddles and quacks like a duck...
I'm just trying to remember the last time I saw someone drunk that didn't have those symptoms.
Both. Nvidia for linux, ATI for windows.
