you've got to be kidding me. yea, sometimes they treat you a shade better if you buy their psp/prp...
But dead pixels? Pffft...they'll brush you off for anything less than 3 pixels, service plan or not.
To me - that's unacceptable. Combine that with the fact that there is no way that they're going to let you inspect that product before purchase.
I know, I've worked in a total of 3 best buy stores (few years ago, thankfull - no more). If you have a store by you that contradicts the above - I'd be surprised if it continued for very long.
to make the bomb with the watch, you have to do some modifications to the watch - you can't just hot glue it a stick of dynamite and hope for the best.
However - Windows, without modifications is guaranteed to end up with a spyware/malware/adware infection.
This is more akin to: If you your identity stolen, who do you go after - the Government or the guy that is running around ruining your credit?
That's right - you sue the Spyware maker - for they're the ones with malicious intent. (Well, MS isn't so innocent either I guess)
yea - and consider that talking on cell phones or eating fast food while driving is ILLEGAL on the autobahn.
sorry, but americans as a whole all seem to work towards a darwin award.
yes - i'm american. yes - i hate this country. no - i can't leave. don't ask.
fuck, this world is going to hell in a handbasket. mod me down - i've got karma to burn. actually, i don't give a fuck about karma on here - oh no! i might lose sleep over it.
and this roadway is some serious bullshit. all you wankers bitch about the enviroment - yea, this is going to be great for it. shit like this is whats wrong with this country.
well - if you want to test the cpu - you probably shouldn't be using something relies on the processing capability of your gpu.
btw tom's hw sucks.
if someone is publishing an article and says: "Hey, lookee here at these cpu performance numbers!" and they're using benchmarks that tie in graphics performance - that just makes the tester look like a dumbass.
Right. Anyone who thinks any of these cars running for records are available on the show room floor need to think again. Anything running out at the salt flats is hot-rodded.
This is a hot-rodded hybrid vehicle.

However, I would expect things like that transmission cooler to work into production models.
Its their code. Whether the end user gets to see it or not is up to the creator. If you don't like the fact you can't see the code behind the app, you have a choice whether to use that sotware or not.
If you don't have a choice - I think seeing the code is of little concern.
However, I do think it would be a good idea, although it would never happen, for companies to do peer review on each other's software. You know, like you did with papers in English class.
gotta hand it to you - i think thats the best read i've had here on/. in quite a while. That is a truly great story - one to pass down through the generations. Thanks for sharing the story and your creation!
yea - i assume this will work with multiple burners....all someone needs to do is make a drive that houses two drives/lasers - burn the cd and then the top laser would take over and write the label - no manual flipping needed.
it's a damn shame the [H]forums are down - there's some threads there with truly bitchin mods, especially for the recent releases of doom and half life....
treason: a crime that undermines the offender's government
negligence: the trait of neglecting responsibilities and lacking concern
Sorry, but my definition doesn't really define gross negligence. Had they merely neglected to fix known security issues, it would be negligence. However, they made changes AFTER government certification. That's a little beyond negligence, that hints at malicious intent. After all, why would one make changes to a system after being certified - if not to compromise it in some way - then why? They obviously didnt make changes to improve or fix security - so where did their intentions lie?
nice try, but no. glad you're not my defense attorney.

decent replacement policies? best buy?

Not a very good job.
what?!?!
please pass me some of what you're smoking.
graphics cards dont do shit for CPU speeds tests.

I think we should kick the people's asses that put up billboards too.
Seriously - I hate those damn things.
What I want to know is where is the moeny from the fines going? Is it going to help pad bandwidth bills?
I sense that you are getting away with something, somehow, somewhere...
Another vote for the disorganization in our government!

I just find it funny that you feel the need to post these comments at +4.

I had Speakeassy, but work for Comcast now, so alas - no more Speakeasy. Being 2000 feet from the CO on the 6mb service was sa-weet!

war driviging....
wonder what the access will be to the end-user (car owner) is it going to be a closed spec thing? or nice and open, allowing internet access, etc...
(i'd rtfa, but its kaput)

ah hell...forgot to add...
i think the point is - not everyone can mod a case - however, if you're willing to pay - there are people that do custom cases for people..
it's a damn shame the [H]forums are down - there's some threads there with truly bitchin mods, especially for the recent releases of doom and half life....
yea..that's pretty much all i was getting at, its a lot more serious than negligence.
