    American males not sexist jerks? what are you smoking? because honestly a good 50 - 75% of males in this country are sexist and believe that a women is not equal to a man. maybe there isn't as many sexist men in American but there is still a large group of them.

    going to the store to purchase music? Now I can understand going online and buying music , but honestly I can't find anything when I go to record stores. I go in there looking for Atari Teenage Riot, H3llb3nt, Chemlab, Blind pigs, etc and they never have it. So i say go online and buy your music and pay it online like everyone else does.

    I remember vidomi trying this and according to FSF it was a valid option. you have your main program that doesn't do much and then you have all the GPL in a dll file which the program itself referenced. without the GPL portion it only played video (i think). If i am correct most/all of the code of vidomi is GPL'd

    I have always found that its easier to date someone who doesn't care about technology, etc. They just want to use the computer for what they want to do and thats it. Rhey don't want to fix it, etc. The times that i have dated people that are into technology, and everything have ended in us getting in an arguement over fixing a persons computer and the correct way to do, or us arguing over test questions on exams, etc and how the answer here is "correct" according to the techer but in reality it is completly wrong.

    I completly agree with that. I had my credit card since i was 18 and put almost everything on it and then pay it off almost every month and every few months get points to turn in for free stuff. I personally hate cash because I find that its so easy to spend and will even avoid places that don't take credit cards.

    I have the same card.

When it works correctly it works very well but I have found that it only works well when using 3rd party software.

  23. Re:How the loop hole is closed on Slow And Steady Leads To Windows Refund Success · · Score: 1

    I believe the EULA already has a clause in there so they can not sell it back to the manufactor. in the XP EULA it states

    "To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Manufacturer's and its supplier's entire liability and your exclusive remedy under the express warranty is, at Manufacturer's option, either (a) return of the price paid; or (b) repair or replacement of the SOFTWARE or Microsoft hardware which does not meet the warranty and which is returned to Manufacturer with a copy of your receipt. The warranty is void if failure of the SOFTWARE or Microsoft hardware has resulted from accident, abuse or misapplication. Any replacement SOFTWARE and/or Microsoft hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or 30 days, whichever is longer."

    So if you just don't like windows then too bad. It has been bundled with the hardware (which is stated earlier) and there is no problems with the software other than the fact that is sucks but it doesn't have any clause in the OEM EULA saying "if you don't like the product return for a refund". it also states if you want to give the software to someone else you must also give them the computer since it is a part of the computer. you can't have one with the other according to the EULA.
