So a you are calling a website running on Windows Server 2003 that hasn't been update for 4.5 years, and thus has missed out on both Service Packs "secure"?
Wow, so instead of letting Apple replace the battery for free within the one year warranty, you bought a new device - yeah, you sure showed us what an clever, money-conscious guy you are.
He ended up spending 'a few bucks more' to get a device with twice the storage & three times the battery life.
Its called not throwing good money after bad.
Spending "less than for an iPod" for a new device instead of spending no money with an warranty replacement is called "not throwing good money after bad"? Suuuuure.
And YOU seemed to have missed that this was nothing the OP claimed.
Not to mention that you can actually buy an iPod without going through hoops: "We are unable to locate this product in our database." when you click on "buy now". How screwed is that?

A survey conducted by the Rechargeable Battery Association (RBRC) reveals that 70% of users are unaware that cell phones (and their batteries) are recyclable.
Approximately 2.5 million phones were collected to be refurbished or recycled from 1999 to early 2003. This is less than 1% of the known used cell phones currently in the U.S.
Bette Fishbein, a senior researcher at Inform, estimates that only 20 percent of mobile phone batteries are recycled under current voluntary industry-sponsored guidelines, despite programs such as Verizonâ(TM)s âoeNew for Twoâ trade-in program.
Are you people on drugs? Flamebait? the OP was referring to the fact that you might find yourself without a working phone if the battery dies. Hard users sometimes carry more than one battery with them just in case they have to close a deal during several hours or something. You can't do that with an iPhone, unless you resort to some 3rd party solution.
So what happens when your phone dies? Yell at your two working batteries to do the call?
Who made this software? Someone who watches their "24" DVD set over and over?
Why do you attack the people who wrote the software? The fact that "the software offered limited options for classifying entries" shows that those people put much more thought into who could be legitimately tracked with the software than the police.
so right clicking does work on a mac. Just not with the mouse (or touch pad on laptops) that comes with the mac. The functionality is there, just one button for Apple branded mice.
But then how do you get to 'brag' about how green your system is while the customer has to wait for the servers to come online? That was the best idea in the article! It's like having a receptionist who has to take a 5 minute drive into work every time the phone rings..
No, it's like having an extra receptionist who has to take a 5 minute drive into work every time the other receptionists are all talking on the phone. Instead of having them sit around with all the other receptionists, but not doing anything until all others are busy.
IOW, why have a hot-standby waiting to be added to a load-sharing group, when you can have it in the group from the start?
Sony has already demoed that, in a scene of "The Departed" that had an empty counter in the theatrical release, they showed a can of "Red Bull" standing on it.
A lot of the problem is that people weren't told how it was sold -- like the fact that it's really permanently (er, at least 5 years) locked, not just for the life of the contract.
Well, that's something the "plaintiffs allege". It has not been shown in any way to be a "fact" yet.
Forcing people to buy one product in order to be able to buy another is a classroom example of an anticompetitive practice, which is banned in most civilized places,
What's Amazon planning on doing with this rate hike? If iTunes raises their rates and Amazon doesn't, iTunes loses big time since Amazon will have the cheaper and better product (for the most part).
So you think Amazon would just take the 6 cents out of their share and live with that loss?
Slashdot Mirror
The 17" still seems to be available as "Antiglare".
And lastly: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html IIS is number two overall, behind freeBSD. Must not be that insecure.

New MacBook cases leak - Apple denies the problem!
Here's another one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_TV
, and see a Mac mini for $600 across the aisle from an HP Pavilion that blows its doors off for $450.
Yeah, they have powerful fans, don't they.

This is positive legislation. It is going to ensure that customers have cheaper and competitive ways to replace batteries.
And just throw the old ones in the trash.

Reminded me on how Yusuf Islam (TAFKA Cat Stevens) isn't allowed to enter the USA because his name is (or is not) on the no-fly list.

No. You fail it!
Because I'm right. Sure.
GP Just not with the mouse (or touch pad on laptops) that comes with the mac.
LT The Mighty Mouse is how old now?
The mighty mouse does not come as standard with most of the mac line.
Thanks for playing. You lose.
Thanks for playing, anonymous WMF, but every Mac that comes with a mouse, comes with a Mighty Mouse. You fail it.

Just as trivial as the difference between Finder and the infernal duo Program Manager/File Manager? Yeah, I bet you still use those two.

That's not really "defectivebydesign", as it's got nothing to do with DRM. It is, however, a defective design. Subtle but very important difference.
But of course people also tagged the story DRM.

So all Linux distributions are illegal.
In fact, it's so unfair I should SUE!
This is America - if you had no reason to sue, you should sue because that gives you an unfair disadvantage.

So people who would pay 99 cents but won't pay $1.10 for a track will instead buy a CD for $12? Or even $5?
