Some dummy bit off more than he could chew at a low price, and I’m supposed to have sympathy for him? This isn’t Groupon’s fault, nor the customers he sold his services too. He’s simply an idiot, apparently.
I'm very tempted to get an Iomega Boxee if it comes out in the next couple of months. Netflix is working on Boxee Box now, so that's a big barrier removed. Having built-in storage so I can use the Iomega Boxee as a NAS device is a big plus. I'd really like if there was some way to have it act a DVR (in my case, for over-the-air TV)... I still can't have everything I want in a single device, but getting closer.
Of course, being in Canada, the next barrier is the Bell/Rogers/CRTC duopoly threat currently attacking Internet usage to protect their other entertainment products. And wrangling U.S. Netflix to work in Canada is a wee bit of a pain, but doable. Netflix Canada has a helluva lot of catching up to do.
My mistake, I was thinking about this sentence: "Surprisingly easy, it does make the game, which was released for free via Steam earlier this week, a lot more terrifying."
I used to have an association with HP, and was told that 50% of the company's profit came from ink/toner. It's expensive because HP likes to make lots of money.

I knew from the begining they had no plan to really end the series, so, I never bothered to even try to get into it. I'm sorry if you did. Next time, choose more wisely.
You knew nothing of the sort. We were told time and time again that there was a plan, it was all plotted out, and it would all come together and questions would be answered. We were lied to.
I'm in the same boat. I might purchase a subscription with a VPN service, but I don't know how much of a hassle, or how reliable it might be. Of course, our bandwidth might get a whole lot more expensive and/or limited in the coming weeks, so that would make this possibility even more remote.
I'm wanting to ditch satellite TV though, so I'm planning on buying and installing an antenna, as well as an HTPC with a dual-tuner. I should be able to grab most of the major networks in Toronto and Buffalo.
I'll take it as a license to download whatever music I want, since I'm presumed guilty and will be charged the fee in advance, and my conscience will be clear. Thanks, CPCC!
As passengers, we should have the right to ask whether we're putting our lives in the hands of a computer rather than the battle-tested pilot sitting up front, and we should have right to deplane if we don't like the answer."
Rights this, rights that... if it's really such a big deal to you, do your homework before you step on the bloody plane. Who told you that you don't have these rights?
If the customer doesn't realize it's not a good deal, that's their own responsibility. Where's the deceit in that? If you pay more for a house than it's worth, that's your responsibility, not the seller's, and it doesn't make the seller a bad person. Like I said, I'm not talking about the seller lying; dishonesty is a separate issue. I'm just talking about the apparent disdain for up-selling here.
Why would anybody be appalled and angry at a store for trying to upsell a customer? That's business, and there's nothing inherently wrong about it. A store has no duty, legally or morally, to inform a customer as to whether or not a purchase is a "good deal." If you don't want to buy the extended warranty, then don't.
Of course, I'm not talking about dishonesty here. If someone lies to you about what you're buying, that's a different matter completely.
I haven't tried IE8, but I uninstalled Chrome 5 minutes after installing it. It took Firefox about 20 seconds to load 8 sites, while Chrome took over a minute. If it's going to be that slow, nothing else matters.

If I'm presumed guilty, I'll gladly take this as a license to download as much as I like. It's kind of a great deal!

I think the writer meant that the process to switch to first person is easy, not the actual gameplay.
All of which were 100 times more terrifying than what I saw in the video.

Or did I miss the law that proclaims artistic ownership to be illegal?

1) easier for the apathetic (and likely uninformed) to vote?
2) easier to hack an election?
No good reason. It's just a stupid idea all around.

It took them this long to come out with a landscape keyboard? Has Microsoft secretly taken over Apple or what?
