A few months ago I looked up the price on a digital camera online. Walked in the store and got on one of their terminals to double check the price and it wasn't there. I asked an employee about the camera and the deal I saw. She said that the computers in the store don't show all of the internet deals. In order for her to check the price, she had to authenticate as an employee and then access the real site.
I was still able to get the deal, but only after she ringed it up as "Matching a Competitor's Price." I'm curious if they don't even have some of deals on the in-store computers, which is why they are not on the intranet site. But if this is so, they should advertise the price online as offered exclusively on the web.
It seems to me, they're trying very hard to keep the best deals away from those who don't put the research in or ask enough questions.
Overture and Yahoo may have more money; however, no amount can make me want to go to a search engine that I can't view in the "Bork!" Language. Bork, Bork, Bork!
The groups remind corporations that the music industry has begun to identify organizations whose computers are used to download, upload or store music files without authorization.
In the Fortune 1000 I'm pretty sure I can name oh about 1000 companies that have computers doing these "illegal" activities
Image if you were buying a bed and you were asked to sign an agreement first. It stated that someone else actually would own your bed, could watch what you do in it, come over and use your bed when you aren't in it, and sell anything they found out about your activities in your bed, would you be comfortable buying that bed? While your computer and your bed may be different, the things that pass through both can be quite personal.
I want to get into the bed making / selling industry!
Satellite internet has been dying and it is no news shocker to see more companies falling... Why pay for broadband that only works in good weather? With broadband already in decline, there is no way you can sell it if one of your warnings is... May lose signal during bad weather
How can you ever make it unbreakable? True they can try and make it less breakable... Well this sounds about as hopeful as the great United Linux plan!
It seems to me that when software is created by "hackers" and made by "hackers" that they would as a team know what to do to make the software as hackerfree as possible. By making a product open source, it is only sensible that it is then open to be studied by hackers and exploited by malicious hackers but at the same time, just as genius "white-hat" hackers can quickly repair these security flaws thus keeping the software secure. So, how then can it be possible to say that Open Source is more hacker prone than proprietary software? Beats me
Well UPS's are useful in large corporations that can't lose anything at all, and it can help to keep the company network running while a generator heats up.. that way there is absolutely no down time.. But why would a big company need to build their own.. beats me. I agree with you that as far as PC's go, a UPS isn't really worth the extra effort or cash
I want to know... just how reliable is it.. is it worth the extra few bucks you save. Isn't the whole point of a UPS reliability.. and for someone who has never done anything like build one.. is this method a reliable and safe alternative to saving a few extra bucks.. IMHO it is worth sacrificing a few extra bucks to make sure that you don't lose that precious data
Sure Red Hat is a nice distro and all, especially for new linux users. But from my experience I really see slackware as more dominant among Linux users than Red Hat. Perhaps it should be considered in the running of the "Big Distros"
I know it is the first webcam and all, but if you are thousands of miles from the pot why the hell do you care if it is full or not. Oh what a tragic loss (he says sarcastically)
Right on... I mean I know one of the great virtues of a programmer is laziness, but this is just out of control. Would it not take less effort to work with a database instead of having the price verified?

Just when you thought "The Robot" was dead... they decide to invent this. Thanks a lot.

I don't think lasers count as origami.. whatever happened to the simple fold, point at your friend across the room, poke and eye out method?
I am sure that after you spend all that money on one of those suckers... you'll be glad you're saving all that gas money

I think i'll stick with google until it takes less than a minute to succesfully search for something google does in 5 seconds
What a fun and thrilling ride.. Always a real gamble. It really fits into the theme of Vegas too... What a nice family town
