The OP didn't say anything about a receipt. Having one showing the account as being credited would have cleared up the problem. I have always received receipts whenever I made a loan payment at a bank counter.
Would that be a Commodore Amiga by any chance? Whats interesting is even in the 80s Apple was outsourcing a lot of their production to places like Singapore (My Apple IIgs was built there) while companies like Commodore were manufacturing it all in the USA and were competitive on price. Even IBM was selling "assembled in the USA from domestic and foreign components" machines.
Or its to preserve the boot loader found on some OS installers. Many people also want a 1:1 copy of the original installer media. Many, ahem, pirated copies of software back in the day used to just include the main software installer and none of the extras that were on the DVD, no matter how useful they might be.
They have yet to close the biggest loophole since the XP days, the OEM activation system. All one needs is a BIOS mod and a certificate and viola, they have an activated and "genuine" copy of Windows.
Profile corruption, gotta love it. Even better is Microsoft doesn't really have all that much documentation on how to fix the problem when that profile happens to be the Administrator's account.
I remember when I got my first 2-way SMS phone, it was only 2 cents to receive and 10 cents to send a message, most providers used to have no fee to receive SMS messages including on prepaid plans (T-Mobile). Now its 20 cents to send and receive.
Motorola never controlled the software on their cable boxes. The providers are the one who load/customize the guide software. The hardware usually isn't the problem, its usually the crap software providers use.
Who is forcing you to use Bing? I know Verizon had a contract with MS to put it on all their phones, but that appears to have expired, My Droid Charge doesn't have a trace of Bing on it.
TenFourFox is a great product, the problem as time goes on is outdated plug-ins. Flash is stuck at 10.1 and horribly slow on PPC (it used to not be like that, thanks Adobe!), and Java updates will soon end.
Also keep in mind that many of the parts used in the IBM PC were shared with other product lines to keep costs down. Were they the best parts for the job? Not likely, but they were cheap and readily available to IBM at the time.
Back in the old days, one would procure local map and trace out an alternate route. The freebies you get at the state visitor's centers are usually pretty good for this task.
MapMaker is already taking on the elitist attitudes in the moderation system (Wikipedia rejects?). I know a few folks who have made edits in a neighborhood they live in and know very well only to have dick moderators constantly reject and start an edit war despite giving proof in the form of aerial photography and street view photos that a street is/is not actually present.
Northern NJ. Yes, they are surprisingly common, not everyone can afford a new flat panel TV and those older TVs usually have a better picture then most newer CRTs. I wouldn't be surprised if the local thrift store has a few sitting in their inventory either. For many, SDTV is "good enough". How many times have you seen someone watching the SD version of a TV station on a fancy HDTV and didn't care....mostly because they don't notice the difference to begin with.
I still see plenty of early 70s Zenith Chromacolor console TV sets in use (quality built in the USA!). They still use some tubes in the chassis and they are pretty much impossible to kill. They'll likely outlast every other piece of electronics made in the past 20 years and when it does break for good, it makes for an attractive stand for whatever TV replaces it.
Samsung at least has unlocked boot loaders. The good news is Verizon doesn't seem to be forcing Bing search on everyone anymore. Motorola hasn't been doing too well in the Android arena despite the good start they had with the Milestone/Droid.
Slashdot Mirror
It also powered the HP LaserJet 4 series of printers.
They also remastered and added CGI to the original Star Trek series, yet trekkies aren't all up in arms.

It already does. Windows comes with support for NTFS, ISO9660/Juliet, UDF, FAT32, FAT16, FAT12, and exFAT.

Does it really matter? They all sound the same anyway.
Why hasn't Nielsen incorporated this dataset into their ratings system? Their current sample size is quite small.

None of this is new. Its called the neighborhood watch or "eyes on the street". Jane Jacobs identified it in 1961.

Exxon and I believe Microsoft pays a dividend to its shareholders, unlike Apple.

Flight Simulator was the other acid test, them clones gotta play games too!
WDC did have some very rough plans to introduce a 32-bit "65832", it used some un-used opcodes from the 65816.

...and the Samsung Droid Charge. The inductive charging back isn't included with the phones however.
