Unlike the telcos, each of those companies you listed include those in the price you pay. IOW, they don't advertize one price and then charge you 20% more later.
The telcos can still itemize all they want IF they tell people what they are doing. But they aren't, they are tacking on all these charges after the fact and not including them in the prices they advertize. This is different than sales tax in that sales tax is the same for all goods in the same catagory and doesn't vary from company to company.
All the phone companies have to do is advertize what they will charge you. As it is now, they lie and 'forget' to include all the fees/taxes when the advertize their prices.
It isn't that they all these extra fees, it's that they are saying their service only costs X when it really costs X+20%.
You do understand that Bush and his people have been in office for more than 3 years and haven't done a damn thing to change it. Isn't it funny how most of the things the GOP complained about clinton doing they haven't done a damn thing to change.
The speed limits on most Texas FM roads is less than 35mph, so you must have been speeding and/or not paying attention if the turns gave you that much trouble.
The NSA has their own small scale fab to make their own custom chips. Hell, they do not every try to keep it secret and have let more than one file crew film part of it.
They can design all the custom chips they want with their rather large budget.
Could it do worse than our current education system? I mean the QA sucks, just look at the large % of grads that can not read at grade level and who do not know basic math.
Try posting anything that isn't 1000% positive about apple, they go insane. I posted something last night and they mod bombed posts I made years ago so much that I was unable to post for abou 12-18 hours. Even the antigun people aren't that bad (yes, I have ran into them also)

I don't know where to start, but till you correct such basic errors as the RIAA being involved in DVD's (it's the MPAA) I will not respond, other than to say that Apple using the DMCA (if they go to court and win) helps provide president that will be used to inforce the DMCA in the future.

The fucking problem is that they ADVERTIZE one price know damn well it isn't the price they will be charging.
That is what pisses people off and it may be illegal.

But they don't include those fees in their TV, radio or print ads, do they?
THAT is what upsets people.

So you and you shell script are responsible for techno?
Bastard!
You do not have to watch if it bothers you so much.
Members of the GOP in congress complained as did a lot of the people that voted them into office.
You do understand that Bush and his people have been in office for more than 3 years and haven't done a damn thing to change it. Isn't it funny how most of the things the GOP complained about clinton doing they haven't done a damn thing to change.
Why is that?
The speed limits on most Texas FM roads is less than 35mph, so you must have been speeding and/or not paying attention if the turns gave you that much trouble.
But the electric and food companies need money to provide their services, reward and fun don't mean a damn thing to them.

One doesn't buy from vendors listed on pricewatch for systems like this. I am sure that they got a large volume/make intel look good discount.
The Itanium 1/2 has much better compilers for science related workloads.

Thanks, I needed to laugh!

Isn't that UPS just a little undersized for all the kit?

Now that is a very userfriendly error message...
Can you provide a link to the accident you are talking about?
Thanks.
This must be the first time you have read a Gnome thread on /.
They always turn into flamewars between the KDE and Gnome users.
Always.
I do have kids and I have been in the same sit. that you describe more than once and I still did the right thing.
Perhaps if you rephrased you statement to be less broad it would better convey what you are trying to say.
Some principles are worth keeping and you statement says that NONE are.
I was responding to this "When the choice is principles and employment, employment wins. I have child support to pay." in the original post.
That is what is wrong with America, ANYTHING for a buck.
I am from the USA so I think I know a little about the subject.
Please debate what he said, he does make some very good points and it would be a shame for this turn into a Gnome vs. KDE flamewar.
