If the overall cost to you is reasonable, then I don't see anything inherently wrong with that business model. I'm an Epson inkjet user, and their charges seem reasonable to me considering the VERY high quality of my printer.
The corporations rely on the slow speed of the free trade organisations to deal with thei illegal practices to make more money. The best approach from a consumer's point of view is to simply not buy HP.
Why don't Mirriam Webster (or whoever it is that produces the leading American dictionary) simply decree that your and you're are to be repaced with "yur" and then and than replaced with "thn"?
Since when have you been allowed to speak for the heteros?

I was pretty disappointed that it didn't come with a 16 port 232 serial card myself. I mean, come on Apple, you didn't even include and 8" floppy - who's gonna buy one of these?
Hang on - I paid £29 for the OSX public Beta (IIRC) then £25 for the.0 version, then £69 for 10.2 and £69 for 10.3. So that's around £192 over, what, 4 years? A copy of Windows would have run me around £225 for a full copy and then another £100ish for an XP Pro upgrade over the same period.
Yor kids read Slashdot? I hate to break it to yo8u, but if they've made it here unassisted, then they've already seen more web porn than that you could possibly imaghine - by making the human body a thing of secrecy and shame, you're contributing to an unhealthy attitude to sex - and that will get those kids into trouble later on in their lives.
I don't normally reply to myself, but a quick look at the wikipedia entry for Priapus shows that there IS NO MENTION of his huge cock - ie his defining feature.
American conservatism is way out of hand, this is ridiculous.
So, strictly speaking, you couldn't ACTUALLY name it, right?

What a load of guff.
Apple THEMSELVES fit Crucial / Micron RAM, so why would fitting it yourself cause any problems? I've been fitting 3rd party RAM to Macs for over a decade now without ever experiencing problems.

I recently bought a camera in the states - had it shipped to my hotel in NYC from Texas, thereby avoiding US sales tax as well.
I saved 50% compared to UK prices, which was around £700.

Your medical data belongs to YOU.
"while PCs cater to power and control"
Yeah, Microsoft's power and control.
I beg to differ. I just upgraded my gaming rig for under 600.
How many X-Boxes did you buy, exactly?
If you had a girlfriend she'd really hate your ugly, noisy, box of nerd.
"My glorified 386 is faster than your RISC "workstation", and way cheap."
Faster at what? For some specialised applications, the G4 just pisses all over ANY i386 chip.

Thank God someone got it, I was really starting to despair.

It's a lot smaller, but it's still there. Maybe you should go south this winter.

Chinamen is not the proper nomenclature. Asian Americans, please.
Priapus did fairly well.

You can configure it for IP over Firewire. 3-4x 100BaseT perfrormance in reality.
