What happens on Soyuz, stays on Soyuz. Once you've gone Soyuz you'll never go back. In Soviet Union - Soyuz ebet vseh (dammit doesnt let me post Cyrillic). And so on, and so on.

Pardon me, I am somewhat new to Slashdot... Is it the norm here for pro-Republican to be insta tagged as Trolling? Last I checked the URL it was news.slashdot.org and not obama.slashdot.org or democrats.slashdot.org or for that matter republicans.shasdot.org... People are entitled to their opinions one way or the other. I am not looking for a fight or to hurt anyones feelings - cant we all just behave like grownups and display our allegiances without fear of punitive tagging?
I do realise and agree with you that by and large "that these monkeys are retarded". But your assumption is not entirely accurate... Them going out of business is one of the outcomes I consider acceptable. Since the 1980's I have seen many companies die that "did not get it". Many companies, from all industries.
It works, people don't seem to realize just how much power they have, especially in todays shaky economy. Just make sure you do not give a dime to companies that use DRM, they will either learn or die out.
Sounds like an intro to a new shooter game or another post apocalyptic action B-movie:
it all started harlmessly enough with "adding cell-reprogramming genes to adenoviruses"...
THEN CAME THE ZOMBIES!!!!!!!
SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD!!!!
SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD!!!!
One of the top scientists in charge of the Shaheen project commented anonymously by saying, "We believe we finally have enough computing power to be able to strip womens burkas in real time from live video feeds. Our upcoming reality based television show Streets of Cairo, will more than pay for the costs of this project".
Prices on graphic cards have been plummeting, both due to the overall memory prices dropping fast and because of the huge saturation of inventories in the market. Cards that few months ago were going for $300+ have been getting blown up for under $100. So before you compromise, make sure you do your due dilligence and check price engines like google shopping or pricewatch, you will be surprised how far your buck travels these days. Also, don't bother with brick and mortar retailers, they turn their inventory slower and their best deals are still month or so behind and usually involve some mail in rebates.
www.tagoo.ru great site for finding obscure mp3s from obscure sources like Doctor Demento and Billy and the Boingers, stuff that you cant buy even if you wanted to.
Your company sent you a clear message that what they want you to do for the next 30 days:
1. Pick up a bonzai tree that needs some love and attention.
2. Pick up a good book, like MacMafia.
3. Pick up a new hobby.
4. Work on inner peace.
I hope you realize that your company knows that you know where "the bodies are burried".
Say how about this? The idiots running New York clean up their rampant and wasteful expences and like the rest of the people in the real world learn to budget. The whole LETS JACK THE TAXES bit is getting old, you can only squeeze so much blood out of a turnip... Why is it that the immediate solution is TAXES instead of efficiently utilize what they are already stealing from the people and businessess already?
There are plenty of alternatives, especially if you are a power seller with consistent inventory. Amazon, Buy.com, Pricegrabber just to name a few - will gladly list your inventories. Buy.com only charges when you sell something, free to list. If you already have a website store best bang is Google Shopping (formerly known as Froogle). Ebay has grown complacent and greedy, its ready to stagnate and fail.
Remember 3Com? Their stuff was made by Delta and Accton, and they just made different plastic exteriors, slapped their name on it and made BANK until people realized they could get same functionality for less money. You could buy same exact gear, usually in "ugly" but functional metal enclosures for much less money from companies like SVEC, Hawking Technology, D-Link, Netgear, Asante, SMC, etc... On one hand - Fake or Real, Cisco branded units still increase Cisco's market share, especially since the only difference is in legitimacy - licensing, and not in functionality. As it stands Cisco is unique in the manufacturing sector because they make more money off their hardware than off software and service contracts, so its no surprise they are so militant about protecting their interests. Since they really cant do much to the manufacturers in China best they can do is to come down HARD on people selling it in the US.
Agreed, another example of
Those who Can - DO, Those who Can't - Teach.
I remember growing up, those of my friends who couldnt score kept talking about alternate realities and improbable multidimentional sexual scenarios. The rest of us were just having sex.

This is why when the goverment asks us for 700 billion to bail them out, we must tell them to "COME BACK LATER". Like waaaaaaaaaaay later.
Congrats on putting a nice crack in the mismanaged, overpriced, overpoliticised, goverment monopoly. Good Luck!

When I saw the "white space" being rigged reference I was expecting some election cover-up story from some red state in the bible belt.

Just like in MMORPGSs - Screenies or we call BS!

The "tubes" aren't limitless. If we dont cap their use, we will run out of Internets.
