You missed a LOT in economics. Economies of scale only matter when two companies are competing on the same product. Most things are priced based on what the market will bear. That is, prices are set as high as they can as long as people still buy it and the companies can maximize their profits. If dropping the price by 20% gives you 3x sales, then you do it. But if dropping the price just gives you less revenue, you'll not find many companies doing that. That is the basis of capitalism.
Sony can create artificial scarcity whenever they want as the sole supplier. You see the same thing when the price of oil skyrockets due to oil-producing companies stockpiling and withholding product from the market.
Don't forget to boycott the Blu-Ray format. They're a member of the BDA, and yeah - they also get royalties on the DVD format. Good luck boycotting them entirely.
That sounds more like everyone else is color blind and he's one of the few that aren't. Those black things that appear violet are just poorly dyed. I have black fabric covering the front of my home theater speakers that look burgundy when the morning sunlight shines through our reddish living room curtains.
UNBELIEVABLE! I don't know which to be more angry about - Security Essentials deleting an entire mailbox or Thunderbird still using mbox instead of one message per file. If you've ever had a dying hard drive, you'd be thankful for individual message files.
Unless you drew the password by a long shutter and were waving the camera in front of a pinpoint light, then you had to take a picture of something. That something is what they'd want.
The problem would probably be in holding the money in escrow. The eventual payment would be $200,000 from a single source. Definitely not the same as 20,000 $10 payments.
Technically, the DVI standard doesn't - your graphics card just sends HDMI-compatible signals over DVI. More or less the same thing. Connecting speakers to the screen (copying the audio stream out over optical) instead of the tower seems like it would be a great idea, though - shorter cords.
And does it have DVI? You can get a cheap adapter and the compatible signal will go right through. VGA? No, it's not that great. Especially if it's large. You're not getting perfect 1:1 pixel alignment and clear colors.
I have no idea why manufacturers like Dell would include an tower with both VGA and DVI, a monitor with both VGA and DVI, and then a VGA cable. Nobody (consumers) knew that DVI was sharper or clearer or better contrast. But HDMI? It's got HD in the name! It's what you hook up a blu-ray or HD satellite with. If you get a computer with HDMI, you're happy because you know that the cable alone is worth at least $50 (to the Best Buy customer).

Or, ask if it's worse than any sign held up in protest by Westboro Baptist Church. When were they last convicted with a crime of hate speech? You can get away with pretty much anything if you don't single out one person.

A range of less than a centimeter? Surely it could do better than that.
Wait, his legal last name is Dotcom??
Probably because a lot of glasses filter out UV light to protect your eyes.

Think about your IQ for a moment. Then realize that half the people in the world have an IQ below 100. They make plenty of money on those ads.
That's what the full-text index is for, which Thunderbird has.

It's been proven that one pass is sufficient to make all data unrecoverable. Here's but one article:

The one thing that secure wipes don't handle are remapped bad sectors - those could still possibly be read with the right equipment.
It's obvious that you don't shop at Best Buy.

So the story basically says that the developers of TrueCrypt were extremely paranoid. Well - who else would care enough about it to bother making it?
With the size of the earth, that's a rather absurdly small phallus.

Same thing happened to me. No decline or error, just reloads the page with me not signed in.
