from their 'buy it' page 1. Your $100 or 100 deposit will be paid into an escrow account until your order is delivered. 2. Your deposit is refundable on request. In this case, we will deduct 8% to cover bank charges. 3. Your order price is final and binding. 4. We will ship your order at the lowest cost to you (best FedEx, UPS or Post Office rate).
I have read and understood Jackito's four guarantees
apparently, all they have to do is create a really good website, put in a clause about refunds, less 8%, and sit back and wait for the cash to roll in.
I think his largest mistake was allowing a deposit of $100 or 100 because they're just not the same thing.
just so you get that straight, people send in money, and when they get upset when no "jackito" arrives, they ask for a refund, less 8%. that's a free $8000 or 8000 for every 1000 suckers!
no american company is looking out for their workers right now.
his boss is saying that the employee should pay for the company's business expenses and be glad he still has a job.
american corporations have a lot less integrity these days.
in 1974, my grandfather's position was eliminated from RCA. His boss kept him around doing pretty much nothing for then next 3 years so he could retire with the company after 40 years of service.
in 2001, my father became the first person to retire from EMC after their assimilation of data general. they sent him an acrylic paper weight engraved with the EMC logo. my father actually had to wait a few months so EMC could formulate retirement policies and procedures.
Ken Brown is complaining about evolutions in the market. He is mad because linux is competition for other operating systems. He is whining like cartman because no one is profiting from linux as a whole. This, my friends is leading us towards a peer to peer society. Yes, the market is devaluing because there is a better product available cheaper or free in some instances. Naturally the market is in a worrying flux. Only, it's the competition who's worried. And rightly so. Linux is exponentially sucking their customer base away. Why use windows as an embedded os if there's something free available? surely it's not because you prefer windows's legendary stability. I also assume you don't want windows's powerful modularity. I don't believe it has to do with cost anymore. Especially not for embedded systems.
Ken Brown seems to be a literate idiot. everything he's written on the subject of *nix smells like bullshit to me. What if IT directors around the US learned the truth about windows?
I think all these companies proposing offensive attacks are half a loaf of stupid. According to this PDF, the best defense is a good offense.
That is akin to fighting the battle of the bulge with the battlefield as a 6 foot wide hallway. Pretty soon, it's going to pile up with bodies. then you're just going to have a plugged up hole. Sure, the Battle is over, but you've both lost the ground.
they could have just bought 6,250 Creative 4GB Muvo MP3 players @ $200 apiece, and removed the 4GB CFdisk. then it would have only cost them 1.25 million dollars.

sounds like a quick buck!
I believe lucasfilm used RFID chips in their star wars episode I figures. those were released in may of 2001. any prior art to this?
your argument is flawed.

you should buy a new laptop you cheapskate
I once accidentally ghosted over a customer's production box. I reversed the harddrives.
they had been working on a new site design for 6 months.
then I said, it's ok. give me your backup.
that's when the web developer went out back and puked.
apparently they never backed up, despite our stark warnings.
I found out that was the second time that company had a data disaster.
I said "oops"
hehe
I've got 6 Mbit speakeasy DSL and they don't even monitor bandwidth.
listen up fellow geeks.
you're getting hung up on the he said/she said.

Help put a stop to MS-FUD
how does play fair AAC dumper hurt apple or the studios?
you payed for the damn song in the first place.
you'd think they would allow you to play your song anywhere you'd like to hear it.
we pay communication taxes on the internet service!
and on my phone line which my DSL is on.
I pay about $20 a month just in taxes for my phone+DSL.
taxing VOIP is ridiculous since you're still paying taxes on the internet service.
as for sales tax on the web, we're still dodging that bullet.
adding it would seriously decrease website revenues.
Ha Ha Ha bwahahaha
I use different apps with my 5900ultra. the drivers are 56.64.
zoom player works on tv out and powerdvd 5 works.
with the VIVO functions of nView, you can automatically zoom video to the tv out.
what kind of stupid question is this?

there's only one way to find out you see.
you must do just that.

yeahhhh, I'm gonna have to ask you to move your desk again. why don't you move it to india!
noise cancelling will work with anything.
the key to cancelling is to invert the wave and play it back. it then cancels itself out.
but those indian workers get around $5 a day. I guess that makes your American company theory look like a greed theory.
not me, I would be angry to see how much I spend on the useless shopping and jesus channels.

The Gubment needs to save our money!
universal only acquired the feature rights, not the television series rights.
the dude's name is Darl
not Daryl.
sounds like he was one beer shy of being called skeeter though.
how do we know MS isn't controlling them?
I guess we can expect picture dictionaries next
we should entertain the idea
