People like shiny things. That's why DVDs and CDs took off, while MDs have struggled and tapes (both VHS and audio) have all but disappeared for mainstream consumer use. Unless your media is shiny, don't expect it to succeed.
There was a story about somebody that did this. He wasn't actually doing the collect-the-check part, but he needed a place to do some work, so he invited himself into an office. He picked out a desk, and they eventually provided him with a computer from which he went about his way, doing his work with his free office space.
If $5000 is how much the value of cracking the algorithms is... then does that mean that when this crap is released into the public domain that the maximum penalty in the courts will be $5000?
Should we cry? Seriously... nobody's forcing you or anyone else to upgrade. If you don't want to deal with this... don't install Whistler. It seems way too often people install the newest greatest thing because they think they need it but then complain about the rules of the new product that are imposed on them. It's OPTIONAL. Don't like it? Don't install it!

Does anybody else have a problem with the fact that the same people that can't figure out the ballots are the ones that are working to try to figure out what the numbers are now? Every picture I see is of a bunch of confused people staring over their bifocals trying to figure out the difference between their ass and their elbow.
I wear medium boxers... and if corporate america wants to send me some... they're more than welcome to. Seriously... there's some information that I really don't care who has.
Game replay data isn't usually stored as an AVI... it's possitional information, so you can replay it at any speed you want, regardless of how many frames are displayed at runtime.
"I happen to know that there are very limited numbers of people who have the complete data, and none of those people with complete data have talked to you."
This can only be true if he's the only one with the complete data. If it's somebody else, they're not going to broadcast the fact that they were a source. These people live in a different world than the rest of us. It's comical.

Bezos would laugh at a family of puppies being run over in traffic. Have you ever seen an interview with that guy? He laughs at everything.
Dontcha think the people using it in the future would've already come back to tell us what IT is?
Yeah, maybe my $1,000,000 bid will actually be just an error from now on.

It's called the real world ... that's what contracts are for.
I didn't realize Timothy McVeigh had access to a computer.
I think that may just be the behavior of your browser, because for me, the content loads before the banner. I'm in IE 5.5 on NT.

"It's not like you have to dial long distance in an emergency (if they're in another state, what good can they do anyway?"
I guess we'll have to get everybody to move away from the state borders.

No ... but I think there is a Cue:Cat one...
I can't help but notice that the woman in the yellow raincoat in the back of the first photo of the article looks like Susan from "Survivor".
I guess Jar Jar Binks won't be the most annoying character in the Star Wars series after all...

What ... you expected this at CompUSA?

You left out Microsoft==Hacked.
This kinda thing would fit better on The Onion.
"If I make a mistake then I have to throw the painting away and start again." Damn ... there's 4 seconds he'll never get back...
Why don't you just put down the twinkies ... and take a walk outside. That'll have the same result.
I think my favorite quote from the response was:
