And how much does it cost to break a lease, pay to get a new driver's license, replace things that break during moving, possibly have time without a job if you're moving too far from your old job, some utilities require a deposit, not to mention if you're a renter that your new place's deposit will be due before you get your other deposit back.
And that's only the short list. I don't feel like thinking up more.
You've just discovered drug company marketing. Sure, we've got a cure for that! It just causes tuberculosis, rare forms of cancer, sleep driving, and most of the symptoms of that disease we're curing.
Even if it supported it, I couldn't imagine running Leopard on that hardware. It's so slow that everybody who could upgraded in droves when Snow Leopard came out.
You can buy the sauce on its own from them. The sauce complements the pizza. I like the pizza with the sauce. I don't like the pizza without the sauce. See spot run.
And no - I usually wait until I have a 50% off coupon code because I'm cheap and I'll buy a frozen pizza before spending too much on carryout. It's comfort food, not gourmet.
Maybe, but it comes with a top-tier garlic dipping sauce that forgives all the sins of the pizza. Wait, you think Little Caesars is better? WTF is wrong with you?
I have friends who may eventually choose to do it. Just being prepared. It will be online only for probably the rest of its existence. That, and I do computer repair from time to time, and I run across people who have Leopard - and there's no App Store in Leopard. They have to find someone to sell them the Snow Leopard disc just to get the App store to install the newer OS.
You can't buy one at retail with the OS, as Apple has somehow managed to make the right of resale illegal due to EULA, even though other software makers have had opposite court rulings. Or at least nobody's been brave enough to try since Psystar's minor goofs that Apple did find tiny licensing issues with.
These days if you want to be as legal as possible, you still have to find a retail copy of Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) as the only place to buy it is now in the App Store within OS X.
Lifehacker has a number of good guides on what parts to get and what chipsets to avoid. It's really not hard at all to put together compatible hardware now that there are boot loaders like Chameleon or Chimera.
You then have to update to the later version of Snow Leopard to get the App store, and then buy Mountain Lion in the App Store. They figure if you can't buy it without owning a Mac first, you can't legally make a Hackintosh. And they buy back old Snow Leopard discs - they don't want them on retail shelves.
MobileMe was giving out a free copy of Snow Leopard to any user who logged in with a special link just before they closed their doors. I logged into several accounts and stocked up on copies for myself.
It's pretty hard to tell how many were bad with Apple for any product. They more or less cover-up all of their product flaws. They even go as far as deleting community forum threads to avoid acknowledging a problem.
And if integrity is based on hash/signature, then it suddenly becomes relevant if computing catches up and can generate a collision. And then you have to upgrade the entire Internet at once to fix it.
You certainly did ask who. I was happy to tell you. I wouldn't say it's a tiny minority that would prefer this. But a small minority that refuses to accept the change. Most others would prefer another way, but will comply just to get their fix. If I buy a dl game for Wii and my Wii breaks, I have to re-buy it for my new Wii. That's broken. I know not all DRM systems are like this, but it's a prime example of the distrust that I have for any DRM-based system to be available in perpetuity.
Also, forgetting the individual consumer side, this means that our ability as a society to archive our culture is about to disappear.
It's a problem for me. I still play Myst now and then (released in 1993 - that's 19 years ago), I love the original Sonic The Hedgehog, and I own a Wii and 3DS. I want a good value for my money, and I don't buy games I won't want to replay in 10-15 years when it's new again to me. I just opened a Steam account 2 weeks ago because I could get World of Goo for $2.50. I was holding out for a physical CD, but the price never came close. I loved the game Machinarium, but ordered it from the UK to get it on CD-ROM, because I don't want to lose it in the future.
I still buy most of my music as CD, and the rest as DRM-free. DVD's and Blu-Rays that are ripped, since there will always be a way to access it.
Another poster claimed that Metro AG actually also got a trademark of the class that includes computer software. No idea if they are using it or if Germany has a "use it or lose it" stance on trademark as in the US.

Believe it or not, I had to pay a $150 deposit for water when I moved to the town I'm in now.
It wouldn't surprise me if World of Goo was ported to it. That's a fun game.
I'd take dumb over corrupt in most cases. Unless we're talking dumb enough to be tricked by corrupt advisers.

DC isn't one of the 50 states.

Funny, I thought you were quoting Hollywood. Perhaps The Happening? One of the biggest bombs I've seen in a long time...

Wait, no, scratch that.
I'm sure they were referring to the arithmetic mean.

It acts as a deterrent. If it's well-known that it's easy to get caught, then it happens less.
Umm...seriously? And this one even has a built-in keyboard.
A 6-bit TN panel is not as good as a 10-bit IPS panel. It's about color quality, and ability to calibrate to get a nice picture.

Opening a band-aid wrapper gives off visible light - try it in a dark room sometime.

And most single-core CPU's don't either, but that doesn't mean we haven't had "multi-tasking" in Windows for over a decade and a half.
I agree. I mean, when the iPhone came out, Cisco already had a trademark and a product called iPhone (same capitalization and all).
