In other countries they're required by law to provide you with an itemized bill and sometimes they'll even give you a small bonus (e.g., doubling your FTP quota) if you choose their online billing system instead of having them send you a hardcopy.
But at a size like stuff like statics is on a completely different level. Imagine the stresses on such a huge networked frame during something as unseemingly as a fine-adjustment of the array's rotation. Ass ume a decade of use and these things develop into a serious factor.
Sounds like they're using the playbook of a MAFIAA lawyer (for every dollar of possible revenue demand at least twenty thousand in damages),
Then again, if people donate 16 million bucks to Wikipedia just to get rid of that teaser image of Jimmy Wales' face this might not be that far off after all.
Depends on the country and university. Some require you to pick a certain number of complementary courses from different fields. In my case I used that to add a few courses on IT/labor/contract law, politics and Japanese to take a break from those truckloads of dry theory.
Reminds me of that old gadget about ten years ago where you'd place two strips along the X and Y-axis of your CRT so the ring mouse would allow you to navigate in all three dimensions.
To me it looks like they'll still keep their market niche.
I'm currently looking into buying one myself because I want a larger PMP replacement to watch movies during train rides and maybe play the occasional game (DOSBox nostalgia). For that kind of stuff a netbook with a 300+ GB HDD is the perfect choice and I can simply swap battery packs during longer trips. Certainly better than having to take my laptop on trips where I don't really need such a powerful CPU.
It worked for headphones back in the day. Three different sizes, depending on the type of device.(2.5mm, 3.5mm, 6.36mm).
Most companies already have an internal system like that anyway, where you have one size for normal laptops and a smaller one for low-power devices like netbooks.
Makes sense. Because he was a backseat driver in an aircraft and fell out of his bunk once too often he's free to employ as many defamatory, even criminal business practices as he wants...

Strange.

Strangely, the German movie based on "The Wave" suffers from the same problem.

Sooner or later they'll find a way to eliminate the last bits of color as well.
Wouldn't be the first time the pirated copy has more to offer than the legit one.
You're thinking of stuff like the technology to suppress the sonic boom of a rotor blade to reduce a copter's noise emissions,
The same amount of money Microsoft makes off those $0 licenses?
Probably not marked in the usual sense but the Gmail system identifies it as something "privileged" and treats it accordingly.
It's their own damn fault for doing it so sudden.
Can't they ruin their cash cows more gradually? Just look at Autodesk!

Guess they didn't find any sited related to Pong.
Just seems like they didn't even include Archos devices or the numbers would've turned out a lot worse.

Think again. Some people will pay a grand for rubber dog shit as long as it has a shiny Apple logo on it.
Imagine the size of those sharks required for such huge laser weapons.
As opposed to application developers simply including such a forced upgrade feature on their own?
True, but he invented the internet and therefore he's entitled to the money.
Exactly. Make that $5,000*customers*infractions and you're closer to what's needed to stop this instantly.
4chan???
Doesn't this kinda violate the "don't shit where you eat" rule?
It's been known for quite some time, but apparently the one who submitted it and the editor who greenlit it didn't get the memo.
Didn't stop those "pro life" dipshits from blowing up clinics.
