Acer lists all available features for all models, then puts a little black checkmark next to the features that that specific model has. There is no checkmark next to the 7 lb feature.
I'll admit, though, it's more than a little confusing!

Two guys are walking in the park when they see a dog vigorously licking its balls. "I wish I could do that," one of the guys says. The other guys replies "Don't you think you ought to pet him first?"
All lost CD sales are caused by the consumer getting the music elsewhere.
This is pure bullshit. How did they initially combat filesharing? They raised prices. I have never illegally downloaded a single file--instead I've simply gone without.
I went into Borders to pick up a Linkin Park CD. They wanted $20. I walked back out. I did not go back to my computer to download the songs. I've simply lived without them. I'd like to own the CD, but give me a fucking break. $20? Universal's price drop is a good sign. Maybe they'll be able to earn me back as a customer.
There's a difference between designed rolling blackouts and catastrophic cascade events that cause blackouts (California had one of these as well, years before the rolling blackouts). Neither is directly caused by deregulation.
The rolling blackouts were caused by energy companies gaming the market and withholding power in order to drive up prices. Cascade events are purely accidental and difficult to predict due to the complexity of the grid. It's like a butterfly causing a hurricane on the other side of the world, or something like that.
I make all my money from selling these TV's so I give away a VCR with each TV purchase. I am losing money on the development and distribution of those VCR's, however, I just pass along that expense to my TV division and all is well. I just killed off the competition and have full control over the market.
Now imagine that your VCRs use a proprietary format, and don't play standard tapes. However, because 95% of households bought your TVs and got your VCRs for free, they all use your tapes. Now if Sony's movie division wants to release a movie on your tape format, they have to pay you a licensing fee. And they will, because of your monopoly. They don't have any (realistic) choice. The same goes for everyone who wants to release a tape on your format.

You're not the first in this thread to bring it up.
If you'll remember your American history, the revolution took place because there were no other options. Does the phrase "taxation without representation" ring a bell? The American people were under British rule, yet had no say in the government. We've figured out how to get that representation in a peaceful manner since then.
What kind of review is this? I want to find out about character development and whether or not there are any glaring plot holes! And you didn't even give away the ending! All you told me was why I might find this book useful.
Although this book is set in a future that is seems to be heavily influenced by the punk movement, with computers, hackers, weapons, and leather, this is no superficial, cartoon world setting for a quick romp through cyberspace.

But if you're only writing for the Windows platform, aren't there a half dozen other faster, more efficient technologies that don't require their own VM? Why use a sledge hammer to push in a thumbtack?

Why should I as a developer be restricted by my programming language to a least-common denominator of functionality and performance if I'm only writing to one platform?
It's amazing how little understanding you have for what Java is. Have you ever heard the phrase "write once run anywhere"? Why the fsck are you using Java if you're only writing for one platform anyway?
What they did do was to put MS-specific extensions into their Java implementation, such as J/Direct. That meant that you could end up writing Java code that didn't run on any JVM. So what?
Seriously, are you that blind to blatant Microsoft tactics?
When the price of a new CD went to $20 I simply stopped buying. I have no downloaded MP3s and no copied CDs. I've simply curtailed my music purchasing due to what I see as exorbitant pricing. Period. And until prices come down I will not purchase another CD. I am who the music industry is loasing as a customer, and they just don't get it.

All it takes is brilliant writing and any show can be made into a movie. Conversely, bad writing can make the best show into a piece of crap movie.
I can't believe the author dared to compare Orson Well's War of the Worlds to Milli Vanilli. Them's fightin' words!

All right, let's take a look at it that way:
