Because the same business tactics that worked with Sega are supposed to work with Microsoft? The dreamcast killed sega; The company ran out of money. I doubt the XBOX 360 is going to bankrupt Microsoft.
Gimme a break. Just like Apple sued Mac Mall and Club Mac, huh? This is just a grab for funds by Tiger Direct. They are allegedly being investigated for their rebate practices and their reseller rating has gone to shit. I wouldn't doubt it if this is a last ditch attempt to remain solvent.
You can get an 80 hour TiVo for $99 after rebate. Do you think it costs them less than that to produce the hardware?
Yes. OEM prices for an 80GB drive are about $25 these days. The silicon shouldn't cost them more than $25. You figure the remote, chassis, packaging and shipping will be maybe another $50 and you are at $100. Probably only about 90% send there rebate forms in too.
So how exactly did we go from a 1 in 37 chance to a 1 in 56000 chance in a few hours? My guess is that slashdot submitters was posting meaningless statistics and editors were letting them through in order to sensationalize the issue.

Probably the same deal. Sometimes the poster includes shipping in the total cost calculation sometimes they do not.

Torrrents they're Grrrreat!
I KNEW I wasn't crazy. I was arguing with a friend that I had heard about this several years ago and he insisted that I was FOS.
Don't forget the old MP3.com. ;)
I was just pointing it out since the submitter makes it sound like RAID can be equated with redundancy.
RAID0 will increase your change of failure since you will loose all your data if a single drive fails. RAID0 isn't really redundant.
Or you can simply type some of the lyrics.
Easy. I just wont see it.

Does it really matter? This is still using your main processor for all the XORing so what is the benefit?

This could help them to overcome the big advantage that the cable and satellite companies have going for them.
They don't call it the CAN-spam act for nothing.
CTRL+ then CTRL- seems to fix the problems for me. Please don't sue me.

So is Real going to refund the money that was spent on music that was "compatible" with the Ipod?
Me too!
It doesn't cost the cell company anything extra just because I am routing the call elsewhere at one end. I still pay the monthly service fee.

I thought the FCC was the only organization that could regulate the airways. Am I missing something?

Except to connect the headphone jack to your linein. Why is the analog solution usually overlooked so quickly?
Didn't arcades die because you could finally play the same games with the same quality at home?
The article quotes -70C which makes me wonder if there is a sort of CO2 dewpoint that prevents the temperature from changing states.
