hahaha, I agree. But we have a interesting dilema here... What is more important: make media and cell companies happy, or make yours cell buyers (we) happy?
Steve instead of trying to forever prevent iPhone users use the same as they want, he could simply accept the fact that users want to use their phones as they want and not as he wants. I am an example of those who like the style of the iPhone, but will never buy one because I'd be "stuck" when he says that I can or can not do. It's the same thing that you buy a computer and the manufacturer say that you can only use the their operating system (and the SO sucks or does not do what you want or need).
The iPhone has the potential to be the IBM PC from the cellphones, all he need for this is the user has the freedom to use the unit in the manner he deems better.
I agree. I are a developer from a reasonable big system. In this system, unfortunately is common the user make mistakes completely unexpected that should be fixed as soon as possible, which are trivial to fix with the integrated data editing interface in the system (access to system admin only, of course). If I don't have this mechanism, I would have to wait for the good will of the DBA and hope that he did not do anything stupid to run any SQL script to fix.
In conclusion, when you know what you're doing is often useful to have access to production.
Not everyone thinks that the multiplayer is all that matters. I personally get angry when you try to play multiplayer with brats with no sense of humor and civility.
It is expected of a UAV that he undertake their mission and then come home, so any weapons have to be external (given the limited internal space that have a UAV).
You almost got there. I can pay $100 for an SSD or a $200 for a bigger one... The problem is that this price is in the U.S.. Here I paid for the $200 drive the equivalent of $900 or much more, thus becoming inviable to buy an SSD.
Or in other words, not so much a matter of having money, but "why spend so much on it".

Buy a.50 machinegun and lots of anti-personnel ammunition, and point then to the front door of your business. Then install a lawyer detector at the front door, and connect the detector to the trigger of the machinegun.
But you live in the U.S., right? Here where I live you pay three, four times more for the same drive. Only in import tax I have to pay 60% more, and other national and state taxes. Soon a SSD is not cheap as you think, at least not outside the U.S.
Well.. Where did I miss? I thought games like EVE were to be hobbies, simple games to relax from his real life. If I wanted the kind of "emotions" that you describes or tries to describe, I would in a casino.
I really want to know and visit virtual worlds as widely as EVE... But spending weeks to get a cheap ship, and the first time that you resolves to explore, hordes of brats jump on you to the sole sadistic pleasure of "eliminate another"? To my knowledge this is not fun, it's boredom.

Sorry, I forgot that. I'm from Brazil. Here a medical student can try to ask for help from the government, but it is very difficult (many students for a few scholarships), then ends up having to pay himself. And the students here can't afford to pay a monthly fee of $ 500 plus books, rent, materials, etc. (the good courses easily cost over $ 1500). Only children of the rich can afford it.
My country has many talented students who want to be doctors and have intelligence and persistence to do so. But they do not have the money (yes, I know that studying medicine is very expensive). Here, only the sons of the rich can afford medical courses that cost easily over US$500 a month (it's more than the monthly salary of most of the population)
Maybe the RIAA and RIAA-like companys simply raised the white flag on the CSS case, after all you may buy a legit DVD and wants to see then on your PC without need to buy extra (and generaly crappy) "licenced" software to be able to watch then.
The problem is that medicine is seen worldwide as a business, as in other businesses where the only objective is to maximize its profit. And that's not counting the medical courses are usually so expensive that only rich kids can have them, attracting people who are only interested in money rather than save lives. Medicine can not be seen as a mere... business.

And if you do not make the latter happy, you do not get any money. Got the dilema?

Never, never believe in propaganda.

Maybe you have a casemod :)
Very, very very well said.

Is the almost same thing on Brazil, with the TV company "Globo".

P.S: I have already patented this idea

Few ones can spend US$100 or more on a SSD drive, when you live on a country where this $100 drive costs $300, or more. And yep, the same drive.

Because things like this I do not waste time playing MORPGs. Pay real money for "digital" itens than you can loose on a wrong button click? Bah.
I agree with you. JAXA now knows where things can be wrong, and cand now fix that on the future missions.

I live on Brazil, a Third-world country. And i have a working 3Mbps download / 1Mbps upload. Houston, the north-americans have a problem!
Too much freedom to people is bad for the business.
