"They replaced the equipment, at a cost of a grand. Whether or not this was a like-for-like replacement or better is unanswered."
Most likely he got better equipment. The guy probably didn't have a pc worth 1000GBP(1500,2000$) so he got the better deal out of that.
That doesn't mean he probably loses all of this data on the old pc, and that's probably worth at least 1000GBP if only in emotional value(family photos and business related data)
That may not be his intention but essentailly he says that the kind of freedom he invisioned is impossible to maintain in the long run. And that was a great mistake.

Ouch. It looks like he really did hit a sweet spot. Otherwise they wouldn't have given him the 20k. But why is nobody on/. mentioning this?
My jaw literally dropped and I couldn't close it for around 20 second. A 160GB harddrive for a bloody Operating System!? Are they bloody nuts? Assume that you need more than a DL-DVD. That's more than 9GB of compressed information. That is absolutely humongous. I feel like an old fart remembering the time that we had a 4 GB harddrive. And now a MS created monster called Windows 7 takes up more than 9GB of information? Even with extra testing/developing info that's simply unbelievable. I am not putting this whale on my computer and I hope I don't have to for a very long time. Cut some lard out of this piece of bloat MS, you CAN really do with less.

If people are close-minded, brainwashing ought to be hard. It isn't. People are all close-minded in their own special way. You either accept that or revel in your own ignorance.
If you have shares you get a certain amount of money per stock you own. If Microsoft owns more of their own stock, they get to keep more. Furthermore it increases the scarcity of the stock thus driving up prices.

Can you imagine her taking a state visit to Germany?
Reporter: How would you describe this state visit?
Palin: It was so Germany.

Simple. They have an ulterior motive in not dragging his ass to prison. That or they're lying. Or lazy.
all this talking about waffels is making me hungry. Do these solar cells come with some good syrup?
"On the iPhone, scanning a 1D barcode is slow and unreliable."
True. Some examples of 1D barcodes.

The question is, can your scanner tell the difference between barcodes 2 and 4? That's the problem we are currently facing.

"$700 is practically nothing."
Sorry for that. I meant 700 billion dollars.
That may not be his intention but essentailly he says that the kind of freedom he invisioned is impossible to maintain in the long run. And that was a great mistake.
that doesn't make any difference whatsoever. None of these things are possible for humans.
Nothing human is eternal
Eternal vigilance is an illusion
No, they are probably realising that $700 needs to come from somewhere so they might as well use open source software instead of buying licenses.
You forgot point three:

"Did these people go to a regular journalism school, or some kind of Bizarro-world journalism school where they teach a combination of news writing and creative writing?"
Close, they got internships at Fox Networks.

Conclusion:
Shaleh IS ANONYMOUS. This is a groundbreaking discovery in the history of /.
Let all people rejoice, we caught anonymous redhanded!

Sir, I am afraid you need re-education. Please step into the reality distortion field.
The post above is correct. They're version of the word is not correct. There pretty stupid at the DOJ. Their, I said it.

If I had modpoints, you'd get +1 Funny from me.
If Democracy actually gave power to the people, it would have been abolished a long time ago.

Call me old fashioned, but I still use punching cards as input. Much purer and reliable to me.
Yeah, in the past we killed eachother with inhumane sticks and stones.
We are now at a stage where we can deploy humane weapons like clusterbombs, mustard gas, agent orange and hydrogen bombs.
You lose, thanks for playing anyway.
