I ask this because big corporations are on a moral basis essentially animals. Animals that more powerful than humans rather than vice versa, and animals that exist to maximise profit rather than to reproduce, but still animals. (Unfortunately the government recognizes them as people with all the attendant rights.) Some animals you coexist with, some you make your pet, some you shoot, and some you hook up to a machine to milk for all they are worth.

YOU might not be able to get to 50k. Speak for yourself.
You know, on Windows we no longer need to spread our files out across whatever, because Windows actually has this concept where you and your programs dictate directory structure rather than having 20 different bin, share, and etc directories.
I don't think there's much of a way they're vulnerable through this, but there's probably a way to do a goatse redirect or something - it's just that I haven't been able to get a slash or equals sign through so it's a bit hard.
Current wiring standards use either 4 or 8 wires in a twisted pair setup. Power lines provide only three wires and there is no guarantee you will find a nicely twisted pair there.
When I got Half Life and first started it up, I sincerely just sat and watched the "cutscene" for a few minutes.
I thought it was pretty cool that they were rendering the cutscene with the game engine. Then I hit my mouse by accident and realized it was not a cutscene at all. That was a new integration of story and gameplay for the time.
Perhaps you have read the book "1984." In it they were very much into redefining words to fit the lies of the government. This is like that except it is for some reason the standards body helping out hard drive manufacturers instead of the government helping out itself.
When hard drive manufacturers are saying their hard drives are x gigabytes in size and this is not true, the response should not be to redefine the word "gigabyte" so that their claims are technically true, because the end result is still deception.
If I ever met someone who said or wrote "gibibyte" and "mibibyte" I would surely be inclined towards kicking them in the face and crotch.
That is some wholly ludicrous shit. Everyone knows it is thoroughly ridiculous. They sound like the squeaks of a retarded baby. ME BI BYTE! KI BI! GI BI!
To know the heinous nature of these words you must look at who benefits from them. It is clear that by redefining "gigabyte" the only people who benefit are hard drive manufacturers. In the ensuing confusion they can stop delivering anything like what they advertise and just make up the capacities of their drives. Recently I purchased two "160 gigabyte" hard drives. One of them was about 156 gigabytes while the other turned out to be about 149 gigabytes. I trust both my BIOS and my OS before I trust hard drive marketing and they say I'm getting a bit of the shaft. This is called deception. Lies. Widely agreed upon as immoral and harmful behavior. That is what "kibibyte" is all about.
I think there's been a slow move towards games becoming a sort of narrative that is designed to be completed. Compare to old arcade games like Pac Man that didn't even have an ending designed into them.
Your cheap windows desktop price is too high by $200-$300. Schools can get bulk licensces for Windows and Office if they want to use them. In the school computer lab I work for, there are specialized applications that are available for Windows or Unix but certainly not for Mac.

"I don't have to park and then walk to my house."
... ever.
I don't have to park
You see, in the city, we can do without cars. How long does it take you to drive to the grocery store? I can WALK to it in thirty seconds.
Never mind not needing a car, I usually don't even need a subway.
Different strokes for different folks and all that shit.
