Some school buses in California have fees associated with them (with reduced/free discounts similar to lunches), but there are generally no free rides in those districts. I'm not sure about AZ (and given that the example is a wide and rural route I doubt it), but one idea is to charge a bit more to subsidize the wifi. I know kids that spend over an hour each way on the bus that their parents already pay for, maybe a bit more for wireless would be an attractive option.
iTunes tells you to back up your music and app library. You encouraged her to purchase them, but not properly store them. While the physical media is different (and yes bandwidth does have a cost), if I put my CDs out on my roof and they get destroyed, Best Buy won't replace them for me.
All of my cable company devices have always had very good copy-protection in IEEE1394, to the point where they were disabled and plugging a cable into it was as useful as plugging it up with mud. I thought the FCC required it, but maybe there was some grey area where you only needed to physically supply it, but not have it usable.
People still don't get this? On/. of all places? The US DTV conversion had almost nothing to do with HD. HD is one of many standards in ATSC Digital TV, but isn't the same thing. You could have non-hd digital transmissions and plenty of stations do.
You have a personal computer on the corporate lan or is your netbook picking up public wifi and using external web apps? The former sounds like termination to me.
Let's say I'm running a version of OSX that the best it can do is FF2 and now you are automatically sending me to a page telling me how I'm an idiot or how my IT staff should have bought me a new computer or why your website should cast judgment on policy decisions to stay on IE6 at a corporate level.
I don't care that there is a link to return, you obstructed my navigation of your website and I'll likely never return (especially with an insulting reference to the 1800s). Fine for your blog, not so hot for a business when you could have just put a div at the top of the page displaying a warning. *That's* what I wish more people would do. It's a gentle way. Redirecting isn't gentle, unless you're a cowboy and have warped views of gentle.
It's not new, it's nearly a year old. I've rolled it out company-wide with the proper adjustments to webapps, and admittedly we're in between smb and enterprise, but that is just lazy.
You and I burn isos, grandma just wants to put some photos onto a CD. If the user wants to burn an iso, odds are that they'll have a tool preference too.
There's a powertoy for virtual desktops, I haven't used it in years and it wasn't that hot, but it was there for XP.
Throw Crimson Editor or something similar on her machine if you are really editing that much, for a fair price E Editor is good too.
I'd be happy with an edition of Windows that provided nearly no built in programs (most of the accessories menu, media player, burning capabilities, etc) and allowed me to install what I need, just give me the shell and handle drivers. Even if the initial few programs (like a browser) had to be sneakernet to get them on the box. Hell, it'd make small business networks without AD way easier to control too.
It all depends on the desired usage of that box. Let's say a production web server, while you may cd and ls a lot, you're gonna do a lot more grep and probably even more top or wget than you would make.
Since TFA is about Verizon Wireless, I'd wager that your second bullet point is the answer. CDMA phones don't tend to work well with the other options you offer.

Spotify denies that they're losing Warner.
To be clear WMG is not pulling out of Spotify. Media is taking things out of context. So don't worry-be happy :

I keep all of my whores in glass boxes, it eliminates the need to use screens.
That's a nice idea, but the majority of websites need visitors more than the visitors need the website.
We are an agricultural company at cutting edge DNA profiling for the beef breeds industry. Despite this our clients are farmers.
I would expect nothing else. Who else would your clients be besides farmers and ranchers? Arborists?

Even more reason to stop developing with Flash.

It isn't on a single line for all devices, another sign that you're old school and want your way or no way.
You don't like quote tags, but are not obviously any sort of web programmer. Using them allows the site to style it how they wish.
Despite what you think, usenet is still alive grandpa.

People still do that?

Chrome is based on WebKit so it's unusual that Chrome is treating your code differently than Safari.
This one bit me in the ass because I forgot that I enabled it. I was pissed when I returned from an extended break...
FF only lets you launch a single process. I don't think that has anything to do with virtual desktops.
But you're not an average user, you read /.

Yep and then the remainder of users reinstall it after wiping the OEM install with all of it's "helpful" crapware.
Why wouldn't it support exchange or VPN? iPhone does.

Oh... you did finally read it.
You DO realizes that TFA is about VZW WIRELESS blocking the site, right?
really, it was easier for you to retype and abbreviate gp's post than accurately copy/paste it with quote tags?
