My Android phone was $70. It does all the things. I pay $17/m for unlimited call and text and maybe other things, I don't know. I barely use the call and text, anyway.
Right, because there's no way the retards would copy and paste two lines of text to install mycleanpc automatically on their Linux distro in order to get it to "run faster".
After it happened in one browser, I tested all of the other browsers and they all had the same issue. I contacted the advertiser (not the spammers, but the people running the ad network), so who knows what will happen. This may even be a new vulnerability that hasn't been patched/isn't known by the browser developers.
MS has a support policy of "minimum of 5 years from the date of a product’s general availability, or for 2 years after the successor product (N+1) is released". Regardless of the reason that they still support XP, they are doing it.
So, buying it as a consumer, I now have no rights because it's "not a consumer product"? I really have no care for patriotism, but I'm ashamed that you're Canadian (because what you're spouting is retarded).
Completely up-to-date non-IE browser with a completely up-to-date OS and I still got a virus from a malicious ad this morning. It was a really shitty virus that seems did nothing more than install one EXE and a startup entry, but it got installed.
3TB HDD is less than $150 at newegg. It's faster than or as fast as any 7200RPM drive from previous years as well, even if it's a 5900RPM drive, because technology just gets better. I'm not even sure what you are going on about with SSD.
All of the security theater is actually a massive failure for the terrorists. Instead of taking the country little by little, like they are doing with many European countries, they now have a much more "patriotic" America to deal with.
If you look around and use your brain, Silk Road is just as good as any public site. eBay is filled with just as many scammers as there are legit sellers. Anyone with good feedback on Silk Road will be just as good as any legit retailer.
Most "licensed" motorists in USA/Canada know less about traffic laws than unlicensed citizens. Most motorists know less about traffic laws, or even how to drive a car, than cyclists. I say "licensed" because currently licensed individuals in the USA/Canada would never be able to get a license if they had to go through a proper licensing process such as the Norwegian or German system's.
Your story is a pile of bullshit. Windows' auto update software has always asked you to click a button before rebooting. If you don't click the button, you don't reboot and you continue on with what you're doing.
Why would "MegaBox" matter? The entire idea of "almost all of the profits" is a lie and there are already multiple services out there for people to sign up to and sell their product on, keeping "almost all of the profits".
I don't feel sorry for him or his business. He was knowingly running a warez hub. On top of that, he was running it as a for-profit warez distribution website. What his external marketing showed is meaningless compared to what actually occurred behind the scenes.
I don't feel sorry for anyone who uploaded their only copy of their files to Megaupload, either. It's no one's issue but the uploader's if he was dumb enough to not have multiple physical backups of files that he definitely couldn't lose. Anyone dumb enough to also pay money to share their files on a site that is filled with ads also gets what's coming to him. There are at least 10 sites out there that provide you with a clean, easy to use and efficient service - even for free - for sharing files without any ads.
This whole situation is just children, Brazilians and the mentally challenged just whining about not being able to get their warez, or losing a couple of dollars to a company that shut down and didn't give them a refund. I didn't see any cries from the people who lost hundreds or even thousands of dollars when Etology scammed every advertiser and publisher, last summer.
If a service is best provided by a non-profit government agency, then that is the appropriate medium for provision of the service.
That's pretty fucking straightforward. If nobody else can do better than the government, with the massive profits that they are making, fuck them. They should be ashamed that the government is actually providing an infinitely better service.

I've been using my 10k RPM Raptor for over 8 years now. All tests show that it's still in perfect condition.
Pretty sure it could have been done in one page. The Internet is not a fixed-size book. You can scroll down forever.

You say that as if most of the consumers are going to actually be directly paying for it, if at all.

So what you are saying is that you want MS to program protocols, drivers and other applications for things that haven't been invented yet?
Perhaps it was a clue when the /. Gates-Borg icon was redesigned all happy, and then mostly disappeared from articles in the last few years.
Gates is no longer running MS. Compared to a company like Apple, MS is no longer the "evil" company it was. Why would /. continue to use that icon?

HEY GUYS DON'T GET A MORTGAGE. You pay less now but end up paying 3x more by the end!
Hey guys, don't get a loan or lease-to-own on a car. You pay less now but in the end you pay more!
OMG GUYS everyone is trying to scam you!
Don't get a credit card or a loan, because you're just going to pay more later!
Are you not American? newegg has them for less than $150.

I'm pretty sure he's saying that the "right" to compatibility, or to have data interchange has always been protected.
Your comment makes no sense. I guess you were talking to yourself.
