And the billions spent on other crap could be used to buy me a private island. There are much bigger fish to whine about. If you want to see a waste of money, check out the auto industry.
Funny, I had the same thing happen to me, but with Verizon. Bills were $600, $800, and $1200 in my case. I'll never EVER purchase anything from Verizon ever again...ever...
Never formatted a USB key with NTFS? try it, you'll lose a lot if you just yank it when the light stops. Learned that the semi-hard way. Fortunately I was just transferring stuff between a desktop and laptop, so going back to the desky and re-copying wasn't a big deal.
As ShadowRangerRIT pointed out, you can simply unzip the MSI. Additionally, if you've ever installed anything on Windows, there's a really high likelihood you've used.msi packages whether you knew it or not. Most larger commercial installers package an.msi in a self extracting executable. Check out Wise installer, Advanced Installer, or Install Shield and you'll see what I'm talking about.
What do you mean? Giving TWC a monopoly has resulted in fantastic internet competition. Allowing a company to generate rains at will to help farmers out in droughts will never be abused by money hungry companies.

I'll try to be less inflammatory than the other guy, but I've got to agree with his basic point. It really bothers me when people use their 'smart' phones during a movie...even on the lowest setting. Unfortunately, my girlfriend is one of these people, and I've asked her several times to stop...all she does is point out that it's on the lowest brightness setting.
I'd be happy to foot the bill for the last mile if it would do any good. Unfortunately, seeing as it already exists, doing so would be pointless...and where would I run it to?
How did this get modded redundant? I think it points out the absurdity of capping bandwidth perfectly. It's not as though the amount/month is a scarce resource. It's the speed that's scarce, so it's the speed on which they should impose limits.
You want 10 megabit connection? You'll pay more than the guy using a 1.5 megabit connection. That makes sense. This bullshit of limiting/month and charging overages is just a scam to generate a revenue stream. It's completely absurd and TW needs to get a beat down from the FTC on this one.
I'm taking option B)...they can tell the government about my Netflix choices all they want, but I guarantee that streaming all those movies goes over the 40GB limit pretty quick. Compound that with a few days use of remote desktop and suddenly I'm in the top tier.
I'm in that same situation...I've opted for the DSL...fuck TimeWarner. I've been without their cable for three years now and I couldn't be happier about it. They wanted $150/room to install cable...you know...on those cable lines that were already existing in my house.
I'm just hoping the DSL is sufficient to watch my Netflix on.
I don't know nothin' 'bout no fancy timey zones, but your postin' says you done it "Wednesday April 01,@08:41PM"...by my reconin' that there's a...strange way to write the date...I never noticed before...really? ",@"?

I believe the TLA you're looking for is WFM.
When did reliable WYSIWYG editors come out?!?!? How did I miss this?! I'm still using VS2005 and it crashes at least once a day!

You say that like it's a bad thing. If you know what you're doing, there's loads of useless crap in the Windows directory.

They "might" be interchangable, but I'm not sure you "could" use them that way without confusion...
still, it's a bad idea to mess up your product...tends to piss off the customers.
Works well for my umbrella...Texas...we use them for shade here.

Yeah, but following the directions on how to reassemble my Battery manager for the gCar led to me accidentally reformatting my hood...wait...what?

More than that, who's going to snub a free car? I might gripe that I didn't get the 65MPG Diesel version they have, but still...free car is free car.
Nor am I getting power...
$100 - (3 * $100) = -$200
Hell, if they pay me $200 AND give me an SSD, I'll be a happy person.

No Alamo Drafthouse Cinema near you?

Would that be innovative?
Drunken Calculus...wasn't that a Jackie Chan movie?
