This would fall under the category of NMP.
Not my problem.
It's not the customer's fault that the business model of the ISP is flawed and they couldn't foresee developments in what content the internets provide.
I have a tough time feeling sorry for the ISPs.
I agree wholeheartedly.
I'm really wary of upgrading to any of the new video/television technology complete with crippleware.
What still annoys me is how we're allowed as consumers to make archival backup copies of things, but we can't break the DMCA to do so, yet these companies don't run afoul of the archival backup law.
It's all about who has millions of dollars to donate to which campaign.
Not all computers run Windows XP, so not all computers should instantly load it into memory.
It is possible, and has been achieved, to boot up an OS almost instantly using flash memory.
The only real bottleneck is hd seek speed.
The whole DHS thing is farcical and "keystone kops" esque to me.
They're so bumbling and fumbling and catching innocent American citizens for the crimes of people who came to this country to perpetrate evil.
They had more than enough info on the 20, I don't understand why innocents have to pay for their ineptitude with more scrutiny and even worse ineptitude.
Terrorism is the new communism.
You can say anything if it's "to fight terra".
If you pay off your debt, then the terrists win.
Until Tivo can beat zero dollars a month and zero dollars up front for a mythtv box, I'm not interested.
Plus my mythtv box actually lets me skip commercials and record HBO.
It's not the consumer's responsibility to ensure that you have a sound business practice.
The problem with netflix is that the more customers it got, the more exponential its costs rose.
It's a case of being too successful.
Now that they're publicly traded, they get to rip off the consumer to appease stockholders.
I guess this is like not getting another refill on your drink if you happen to be really thirsty.
This reminds me of best buy not wanting to deal with the x% of annoying customers who take up a majority of their time.
I wonder how many rentals a month the algo thinks is "too many".
Look at the rampant success of the PSP.
People want to be able to do everything with one device.
Look at the Treo.
Printer, scanner, copier, fax machines.
Etc.

Bootcamp makes it so you can boot directly into Winders. Myth busted.
Oh, oops. Maybe I meant some of those other robber barons.
He did less damage then the Enron guys, yet he'll still probably end up facing worse punishment.
This OS must be some sort of practical joke just to get all of us talking about it. No company that respects its customers... oh wait, nevermind.

More like +5 elitist.
Remember winmodems? LOL. There's really no excuse for this.

Yeah, this won't get abused. Big brother is listening to your powered off cell phone just itching to send you to gitmo.
Let's say a logical fallacy breaks into my argument......
Love the tagline.
You must give up freedom to protect freedom. That is, unless you hate freedom. How did this happen to my country in 6 years? How the fuck.
Just like IRS audits are never political.
To freedom of the press.

Free as in speech, not as in beer. You CAN sell "free software" Look at the packaged linux distros. English cops=n00bs. RTFM bobbies.
I know I asked about him editing his own bio. I doubt he'll answer. Bock bock.

The more features, the greater the potential install base, the greater install base, the more game support.
But they are both still successful machines. This is why there is chocolate ice cream, and neopolitan ice cream.
It has something for everyone. Most people who play games are young adult males.
