Looked into it, emailed them about it, tried to call them on the phone, got zero response from them.
This is the totally wrong way to deal with the issue here. Don't call, don't email, just open a claim using the paypal web interface which is made just for that, and you will get your money back within maximum 15 days.
They had this feature 10 years ago? (The answer is no.)
The one time I tried PayPal would lead me to believe this. The feeling I got out of the whole deal was that they made there money from the transaction and after that they really didn't give a rats ass. The reason I say its a "feeling" is that they never did respond to any my calls or emails. I was probably one PayPals first victims er I mean customer... maybe..
Looked into it, emailed them about it, tried to call them on the phone, got zero response from them. Wonderful company they withdrew the money almost instantly from my account. Checked on my order to see if it had been shipped approximately 48 hours later and found out the company I had bought from was "Out of business" with in 1 minute of seeing that I started the whole process of dealing with "PayPal" and never did get anywhere with them. I hope they enjoyed the lack of my business and anyone else would be do well to avoid them. I can only hope that the few bucks they made off of me is lost to them from the loss of my business. My order fell completely in the terms of there conditions and was flatly ignored.
End of the day PayPal earned a huge fuck you in my book, they could have at least set up an auto responder that said fuck off in the email.
Also note that this was over 10 years ago, they may have improved or changed since then. Of course the guy who robbed your house and raped your wife might have repented his sins and turned over a new leaf doesn't mean you thank him and welcome him back into your house to sit and have dinner with you and your wife...
Cannot recommend PayPal at all, I wouldn't let them anywhere near anything of value.
I agree, I have used PayPal exactly 1 time. I honestly wish I had not. At the end of the day it proved to be a $700+ lesson.
The fraud protection is a fraud...
I am sure that people use PayPal all day long and never have a problem, but if the party on the other end of the payment is not legit forget about your money, your better off with a credit card at least then you can dispute the charges and get some results.
Not sure I mean the OS is different even if it looks and feels the same hmmm would be interesting to see the look on the teachers face thats for sure lol
I have to agree with this, if one distro of Linux does not work right for your hardware there are tons of other choices to try. For my ancient gateway laptop Puppy Linux was the only one that would work right with its graphics card, some ancient SiS PoS but Puppy was able to at least load a generic driver of some sorts and at the proper res. Every other distro I tried I was forced to drop to the command line before it booted and edit some file... Not very noob friendly:( lol I should add that Mandriva also worked well with it but with only 256MB's of RAM it was too slow to really be useful.
"Allura Red AC is one of many High Production Volume Chemicals.
Red AC was originally manufactured from coal tar, but is now mostly made from petroleum. Despite the popular misconception, Allura Red AC is not derived from any insect, unlike the food colouring carmine, which is derived from the female cochineal insect."
The sad part about your statement is that I can't really think of a game thats locked down enough to keep anyone from playing a pirated copy. In some cases the pirated version ends up being better anyway since the DRM has been hacked out of it.
I even play on a pirate WoW server almost daily. Although to my credit I did buy game and pay Blizzard for a couple of years so they got there monies from me:)
Well telling them the truth was a never an option, that would had involved telling them that "Sure we used cheap or substandard components in our machines and you pay a premium for a quality product... Sucks to be you!"
That was option 1 option 2 would have been to pay a bit more for better quality components in the first place and while I would say pass those costs on to the customers they already had done that.
I haven't been able to recommend Dell to home buyers for years now to be honest. If your a corporate customer and can afford the gold warranty support and buy in a large enough volume to pressure them when something goes wrong your golden no pun intended.
Yeah if you could weaponize this I am sure the military would be all over it like white on rice.... Not sure if it would violate some rules of the Geneva convention though (I hope it would to be honest.)

I was thinking Xzibit might like to take a crack at it.... Maybe some chrome rims and a thumping system.

Or you can run Ubuntu and have it look and feel like XP.... I did this for my brother and he likes it.

Sort of freaky how well it works and how much it feels like XP when all is said and done.

Not sure about the tip but I would imagine the 30 minutes or less rule was out the window.... Unless they flew it in by chopper hmmmm
and Murphy's Law.
Huhuhuh huhuhuhuh uuhhhh he said penetrate.
Honestly the comments are more interesting then the article and infinity more informative as is the case with yours.
If I had mod points I would have given you a +1 informative.
To be honest until reading your comment I had never really given much thought about the runway numbering scheme.
lol your funny.
I guess Mis capitalization Should Join the Fray!!!
You needed to continue reading down a bit further, to the part where is says "Update: KaKaRoTo has fixed the missing XMB menu items."

Very true from what I understand, even using back up images and network drives it can still take hours before you can get a desk back online.
