Okay as dumb as this sounds, I can't find the jail cam this article talks about, it references 'crime.com' but that doesn't seem to exist either. I did find this Tennessee jailcam however.

Hardly. I owned an IBM T20 which qualifies as a business notebook computer and it shipped with Linux years ago. Here is the coverage from June 19/2000.

Lets say each customer record was 100k, which is stretching it if it includes plain text of their name/address/credit history/social insurance or whatever.
Thats 10 thousand people. Now... 8.2GB works out to about 82000 people. They would have to hire staff to contact customers, to recieve calls, the cost of the phone lines, etc, etc, etc. It gets pretty pricey.
C&C Renegade was an interesting game that I still enjoy from time to time. EA/Westwood used something on the discs for Renegade as well as Emperor: Battle for Dune that stopped the disc from launching setup in a number of DVD drives. It only seemed to be DVD drives, and at the time all I had was a DVD-ROM.
While in the case of Emperor Battle for Dune they released a fix, there wasn't one for Renegade. I had to use means that in a world where backup copies are illegal, that may not have been just that, legal. Even thought I paid money for this game and I continue to support the game companies. There are times when you need a backup copy.

This is true, rumor has it your neighbourhood likes the 'Hot Jihad Date' expansion.
You're very wrong as far as outsourcing tech support. I work in Canada but our head office is in the US... on the launch of a new product we looked at call centers in the Toronto area and there were 5 good competitors that battled.
At the risk of being redundant, when I stumbled across Webmin I was amazed at how simple it made some tasks such as playing with mysql DBs without knowing the syntax. I was new to linux at the time and although knowing the syntax for commands is important, this was a good tool to help me learn.
and i've always used me@home.com back when i actually had a real @home e-mail addy, always wonders with all the forums i signed up for if i was responsible for bankrupting them.

Great for me, not so good for my mom. They're not aiming at us, they're aiming at the market that just wants to click once and have it done for them.

Funny thing is, I got the same type error on Yahoo.com.
Yahoo is still using Google as a backend although they're going to be transitioning away from it
Gigli made $640,000 in it's second week in theatres... lots of people paid for it, but none were happy.
On how bad it could be, you may want to read this and then rethink if you really hate glasses/contacts that much.
Do you want to be that one failed surgery.
Fine but I call dibs onher.
Nope, it was Chandler

As shown here, Sony does use Lite-on for this drive.

They don't even notice when they get beaten over the head with the whole temporal cold war concept that was established in episode 1
Personally I disliked Jar Jar being in the star trek timeline.
