My father-in-law, now retired, was an electrical engineer in China. He made a decent living, by Chinese standards. How much did he make? About $125 US a month.
THAT is where the savings are coming from. You're paying 20 times as much here.
What I'd rather see is a wireless trackball about the size of a TV remote that you'd work with your thumb. The learning curve would be much easier, you'd have a lot more accuracy, and you wouldn't have to worry about keeping your hand level.
Shiiiit. I've had two P.O. boxes and I've received literally 10 times as much crap there than at home. Once a box has been used for a couple years, the address makes its way to quite a few mailing lists:(
Can't you find something better to do with your money? People like this make me sick, although if I had the money, I must admit I'd be tempted to do the same. It's easy to be frugal with other people's money.
We purchased a dozen or so LCD monitors from Dell, to go with some of our existing, but still new ( 1 year old ) Dell desktops. One of them had two horizontal lines running through the screen, at about 1/3 and 2/3 of the way down.
This line was present both when it was hooked up to the computer, and during the self test when powered on by itself.
The guy on the phone kept insisting that I swap out the video card, just to be sure. Obviously, if it happens when its not even connected to the system, its not a problem with the system.
Another time, fairly recently, I called up to get a replacement fan for the back of the cpu, as it had been whining incessantly (much like I'm doing now).
"How did you determine the problem is with the fan?"
"Uh, I used my ear."
I guess I really can't fault them -- it's apparent they're working off scripts and trouble shooting diagrams. Always get my replacement parts the next day though. Best thing about Dell:)

you could stack shit that high.
Look! I've a couple milk crates, and a couple old PC's I've picked up at a garage sale! Am I Avant Garde yet?
Here on the frigid tundra that is north east Ohio, we have better things to do -- like keeping warm. Oh, and fucking. Lots and lots of fucking.
"any ting you want."
"Anything?"
"Anyting"
Yes, lets all assume its slave labor.

Yes, but lets be realistic... You're probably going to use it for one, or the other. Very seldomly would you ever use it for both.

In English.
It's been done before
its been around for what.. two years now? and its at least 5 times smaller.
And I was all excited because I'm researching searching algorithms.
Does it really take that long to proofread topics?
Just so we can nuke 11 million chinese with one warhead instead of only 10 million?
Cry me a river.
...bah you know the line
Noooo, no, no, no. Just rewrite the 'autoexec.bat' file and stick in a memory manager, that's all. Just take a minute. Don't worry!

Or you stand up and say neither are acceptable choices.
Maybe he should have bought the Lipitor +2 instead of the Palladin Shield.
...and people with those polarized driving glasses, I imagine.
I suspect it would work, but it's just a hunch.
Am I telling him not to spend his money on that stuff?
No.
Am I being judgemental?
Yes.
There is a difference between telling people they can't spend their money on what they want to, and on observing that its a complete and utter waste.

You know the drill..
link, or STFU.
IP Over Apples Falling From Trees. I'd have to look up the RFC -- I don't have it handy.
...neither do I.
What does it tell you about ZDnet, when the advertisement in the middle of the article is five times bigger than the picture of the item in question?
...because its par for the course.
These worms aren't sold for fishing...
They're sold for "fisting."
Really, you don't want to know.
I swear, they can be complete idiots sometimes.
