I might shop there again if they changed their GD rebate lies. They screwed my household when three different people in the household bought laptops, and they noticed the address and denied one of them.
Another time I bought somthing and the online cart listed them as BOTH being eligible for rebate, and docked the price acordingly, only to have them turn around and deny one of them.
Liars and thieves, the whole lot.
Hell, fire your web site company while your at it, and get someone who doesnt spend as much money attempting to mislead customers.
Unfortionatly, the MP3 format is covered under multiple Patents now. In the past, there was only one license being enforced. Lucent has chosen to assert their patent which ALSO covers part of it.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a load of dung, but that's why it's valid that they paid for one, and got nailed by another.
Personally, I can't even manage to get the stupid upgrade program to acknowledge they received the copy of my receipt. I even have a fax confirmation sheet I've sent them twice.
I think more people took advantage of the program then they where expecting.
OMFG, and then we may run out of IP addresses and the entire internet will crumbl.........
Oh, wait...
The sky ISN'T falling.
A) Service providers have excess dark fiber they can light up fairly easily.
B) Edge networks such as Cable, DSL, fiber, etc, can move the head closer to the users.
Didn't Walmart start selling Linux based low-end PCs?
I doubt they did it, they paid for someone else to provide the service, and are currently probrably on the phone with their consultants going, 'WTF?!?!'
The FSF released this as a total FUD publicity stunt. The entire article SCREAMS fud. They seem to have the general opinion that anything released under the GPL is owned by the FSF, which it isn't. Some of it is, sure, but it sure as hell isn't Linux.
If the foundation decides to take action, the ban would apply to new versions of Linux covered under a licensing agreement due to take effect in March.
SUPRISE! They already have a version of all of the FSF utilities they wish to use, and as they haven't violated the licence, you can't force feed them a change to the terms of the licence. Perfect way to setup the perfect fork situation.
And the BIGGEST pile of DUNG in this FUDFEST by the FSF is!!!!
There IS no version of Linux being released under the GPL3.
My understanding is they are selling the whole thing. Since they where getting rid of it, they didn't want to invest as much cost into upgrading existing locations to be able to support FIOS. Southern sections of Hudson interlink their lines to South Nashua, which had it's CO upgraded. Centeral and Northern Nashua didn't get upgraded, and can't currently support FIOS. If they where up by the Nashua Bridge, I'd doubt they'd be able to get FIOS, but down by the past the new bypass bridge, they could.
That explains why they completely pulled out of the FIOS installs in New Hampshire. They where half way thru Nashua when they suddenly stopped doing new installs, and left over half of Nashua unupdated.
Most of the images locally for Google Earth are in some cases years old. Curious if they actually think they're bombing something that isn't THERE anymore.:-D
I have never in my entire life seen a softare company held financially liable for lost sales as a result of a database failure. Please, feel free to cite one single lawsuit if you can find one.

You don't make much money, do you......
LOL!
:-D
Last night, after all of these comments, I finally got my confirmation on the order.
Coincidence?
Yes, but in my case, it's a laptop. *GuLp*
:-)
Here's hoping.
:-(
The point is, it's a major release of an OS which supports it NOT as an afterthought, as Windows XP x64 was.
Hopefully, enough people will port their drivers to it, and we'll all be happy.
....
They didn't charge anything for it. It was a free coupon, no charges attached.
True enough. I'm hoping blindly that with the release of Vista 64, that drivers will become available. Here's hoping.
Have fun with that. So far fax and email have led to nothing, they still can't confirm they've received the damned receipt.
Personally, I can't even manage to get the stupid upgrade program to acknowledge they received the copy of my receipt. I even have a fax confirmation sheet I've sent them twice.
I think more people took advantage of the program then they where expecting.
Mostly? Finally a Microsoft OS that can run 64 bit reliably, WITH 32 bit support.
OMFG, and then we may run out of IP addresses and the entire internet will crumbl.........

I believe it was a press release directly from the FSF, and published on the wire by Reuters.
The FSF released this as a total FUD publicity stunt. The entire article SCREAMS fud. They seem to have the general opinion that anything released under the GPL is owned by the FSF, which it isn't. Some of it is, sure, but it sure as hell isn't Linux.

Honestly, no idea. Best to cal them directly, or I think use their online 'are you eligible' site.

Depends on where they are I suppose.
Southern Hudson?
That explains why they completely pulled out of the FIOS installs in New Hampshire. They where half way thru Nashua when they suddenly stopped doing new installs, and left over half of Nashua unupdated.
Toshiba P105-9722 also has this issue, and I've come to believe that all Toshiba laptops have this issue as well.

The person who WROTE this article obviously doesn't know the meaning behind the jargon he uses.
Not to mention, he didnt know the meaning like. Over 2 years ago.

Binary drivers are present for MANY things besides nvidia. Linus making an exception for nvidia has NOTHING to do with anything.
Microsoft didn't say 'Drop it'. They said they need to consider it.
Not to defend them, but FUD is FUD, even if it's against the 'other' side of the Open Source fence.
