Their pricing drops dramatically for more parts. It's not much more expensive to get them in quantities >100.
The software is buggy, however. Crashes whenever I try to do file->open. I can't seem to figure out how to create objects, either, heh.
What I want is something like this, but with the Rhino interface. eMachineShop is supposed to be able to import a "universal format" (dxf I think?) that Rhino can write, but as stated before, file->open doesn't work so I can't test it.
It's stupid to sell it for less than you purchased it for, and then blame anyone but yourself for doing so. Nobody is forcing anyone to sell stock (or for that matter, to buy it in the first place). Suing over stock losses (which don't become losses until you sell) is even more stupid.
This is what I dislike about many games out there now. They're built entirely around the idea that you can just restore from your last save and try again. It's annoying having to do things over and over because of one mistake, even if it only takes 2 or 3 minutes.
The operator should actually be 'or' in this case, if you're counting the numbers as features. IE something that would contain feature #3 would 11, and something that would contain feature #2 would be 10. 11 | 10 == 11
Let's not discount them because of that, though. Who needs 103 million results? A good search engine would only need to give you one or two pages of results to your query (assuming its more specific than that one word;) ).
I think part of the problem is that, unlike most other consumer products, there simply aren't very many good video games out there. It would be hard to convince an editor to publish a magazine where 90% of the new games get scores under 50%, even though that is probably what they deserve. People tend to want to be positive, especially when they're trying to get you to buy their magazine.
It seems like the oath that they all take, to uphold the constitution, seems to be pretty worthless. I think they should be held accountable to that oath. They should be expelled, and barred from public office as you said.
"That is a huge number of complaints to be filed for anything," said Jean Ann Fox, Director of Consumer Protection of the Consumer Protection of Federation, told CNN/Money.
I wasn't aware the Federation had a Director for the Consumer Protection, or even that the Federation existed!
Might I suggest installing "PrefBar"? It's a XPI add-on for Mozilla that will allow you to toggle, among other things, webmaster color preferences. To use it, you would go to the offending page, deselect "color" in the prefbar, and reload. It'll be black on white after that (or whatever color scheme is your default).
Could just get a Subaru manual transmission. They'll stay where they are until you release the clutch, so you can manage perfectly fine with just the two feet.
It authenticates the server and lets you use a public key to log in. You can also use the same public key with WinSCP3 (to this date, the one GPL-licensed GUI app that doesn't suck, IMO), and WinSCP3 will work with the putty agent.
Perhaps I'm dumb (yeah, opening myself up here), but I was unable to get Jabber to work as a server or a client. I could probably force myself to learn it, but in the time spent on that I could just send an e-mail instead. IM is supposed to be easy.
Jabber seems to use XML for communications, making debugging it via telnet a royal pain in the ass. Why people use XML is beyond me... simple "USER foo\nPASS bar\n" has been good enough for years.
Anyways, Trillian doesn't support Jabber (at least, the free version doesn't).
Except the problem here, for Valve, is that most game software does not have such clauses. Valve is somewhat unique in this. The guy made a "good faith" effort to secure licenses for all of his copies of Halflife, buying them at the store, just like he probably does with all of the other games in his cafe.
Heh, I think you're missing something. A lot of the money spent on tech toys goes overseas, to fund the factory workers there. No, they aren't going to get rich, and they might not even be above poverty levels (for the region), but it's going there. There instead of here, anyways..
"Couldn't a shop compete by selling better products instead of suddenly lowering quality because it costs too much?"
Yes, probably. However, all it takes is for one shop to open up down the street, providing a cheaper product with "barely good enough" to slowly run you out of business.
"I don't see why business has to be about money and nothing else. Of course money's an important consideration, but what about providing the best goods/services/whatever, or committing a certain percentage of resources to charitable causes?"
You can provide the best services and give away money all you want, but when a competitor comes in and doesn't, and you start losing business, you'll have to cut back and possibly close and/or sell out.

They remind me of the twins in one of the Matrix movies, except with color and a kind of vampiritic quality.

Or just take the RFID tag and sneak it on to another student's bag. There's no way the system will be able to tell two tags are on one person.

I got news for you. That's not how women get pregnant.

Does this look like the face of a crazy man?
Bad example.
The largest nation has done nothing of the sort, unless it's been in secret.

I haven't tried building apps on AIM or MSN, but I have built apps on the IRC protocol. It was a breeze.
As chatting requires commands with up to 2 parameters, XML seems like unnecessary bloat.

I picked up a 101-key IBM PS/2 keyboard off of eBay for $5 plus shipping. Damn good deal. This thing may even outlive *me*. :)
FWIW it seems that the backs of these have the date of manufacture on them. Mine was made 1986.10.07, almost 18 years old.
