I don't disagree with you, I just don't disagree that it wasn't an option to pay the asking price if that's what you want to use and consider it offers value.
For you (or indeed me) it may not, but that doesn't mean the only options are steal it or don't use it.

You might think in an article about an operating system, the journalist might have an understanding of what the subject matter at hand actually was?

My request is that EVERYONE who reads this posting send at least one post card to him at:

They lease a lot of base so they can have a sizable crop.
Um, so say for example that rivals in your personal or professional life decide to run a newspaper ad and poster campaign (falsely) outing you as a child molester, complete with photographs of you and graphic descriptions of your actions, you'd take that on the chin, seeing as you'd have no defence?
No my point was simply that unless you *know* that the results shown in the instant search are only a subset of the ones you'd get if hitting enter, it's (perhaps semi-unintentional) censoring the results.
When you simply get no results and have to hit enter to see anything at all, fair enough - but in the example I quote, it's unreasonable to assume that everyone would realise that the results for "murder" are any different to "murder + CRLF"
is it censorship when they still allow you to search the terms?
Yes, in some cases - FTFA:
However, even when your request isn't blacklisted, you're not getting the SAME results that you would get by hitting return. Entering "murder" into the search bar gets you suggestions of mostly band names. It's only after you hit return that you can learn the other sinister meaning of the word.
Yes that does make sense, but whilst the lottery result you quote is a one-off event with unlikely results, the (G?)GP's post indicated that people cheating an imperfect Kino machine were caught early doors because the ratio didn't match.
If the aim of the machine is simply to have hard-coded probabilities that by their nature will cause the payout level over infinite time to be, say, 97% then a payout level of 105% over a week, or even two weeks just isn't necessarily cause for concern - ditto the period where the payout level is 90%
What I'm meaning is that in a constantly repeated series of non-rigged probability-based games being played, on what grounds could you say 'this is being cheated' given that the payout ratio must by definition vary all over the place?

It also misses one pretty big option - pay for the damn software?

That's interesting - then leave said documents on a laptop in a cab or train for authenticity.. The lag may be hard to deal with, though
Three things:
1: Last time I heard, Amazon's music store isn't in the UK and many other parts of the world.
Erm... www.amazon.co.uk/MP3 ?
And the artists who make the music we love don't get paid enough by the labels anyway.
Goodness, no - it's a wonder they can even scrape together the money to eat with...

it's a shame you came back to add that because you were wrong the irst time and now the second. windows key plus r still works just fine still.
You are entirely wrong: http://www.isuppli.com/Teardowns/News/Pages/HP-TouchPad-Carries-$318-Bill-of-Materials.aspx The touch screen is approaching a quarter of the costs of the entire device, and along with the display itself is almost half.

So, all your base are belong to us, now?

If juries want to select only people who are ignorant, then don't be surprised when they award money to McDonald hot coffee defendants.
Juries don't select people, and they rarely award money to defendants.
Well, for one I'd expect that software alterations are rather less likely to be spotted by accident investigation...

You have no choice over the OS you use on your work laptop, but have free reign over which free not-for-commercial-use AV you use? How odd...

Well then that's directly at odds with the GP's post - that 'rogue' wins can be detected because they fall outside the target payout ratio limits
