due to IP spoofing, Firewalls, etc, there's no real evidence that any transaction occurred in the US, making the taxability dubious. Personally, I think this will get ugly and complicated, due to regs for location of warehouse, customer, shipping address, HQ of retailer, site of retailer's web host, etc. How many states could potentially collect on one transaction?
Possibly even less interactive, and for God's sake, how much Don Bluth animation can our ecosystem possibly SUSTAIN? I may never stop throwing up. ..(/rant)
So, I bet I wouldn't have liked it anyway.:)
Maybe you should! I praise my RAID array regularly, like talking to a plant, and I find it increases performance and the reliability. ..well, 100% uptime speaks for itself!:)
See, kids, it's not just unfair company-eating, it's setting customers up as file format junkies by bundling in lousy software as "part of the OS" and getting people to the point where they don't buy or use anyone else's stuff. It's trying to control all aspects of the market, vertically and horizontally. WAY illegal. GM can't do it, so why should M$?
Time was that the disks/CDs came inside a seperate envelope with the EULA printed on the outside, with a seal sticker that had printed on it that"by breaking this sticker you agree to the EULA" and any retailer would accept a return of a product with this envelope unopedned, because the software could not have been copied, which is why CompUSA et. al. will not accept opened software nowadays. Typically, the CD is just in a jewel case without even shrink wrap, and the EULA is displayed prior to install, but well after the package is opened past the point of No Return. Going back to the envelopes, while a pain, would get them back out of this legal grey area. I think he plaintiff here has a good, solid case.
Like the one where the shrink finishes examining Minnie, and comes out and tells Mickey that he can't find any evidence that she is mentally ill. Mickey then says, "Aw, shucks, doc, I didn't say she was crazy, I said she was fucking Goofy! ha HA!"
(drumroll)
Me too on the RTCW. Still, I felt Columns was better on the Sega Master System. My mom and I got into a HUGE fight when I went to college about me trying to take my Master System to school. She wanted her Columns.
The Sega stayed at home. Remind me never to mess with mom again.
I'll never forget that day. One of the sweetest proposals I've ever seen. Better than mine, which was over mac and cheese in front of the TV, with Frasier going. . .

Add the occasional AllYourBase, and viola! Instant Karma!
but then I don't want to unintentionally purjer myself.

"Thanks, but if you'll check your records, I already HAVE your long distance. (click)"
"Nigeria, you say? Let me get my checkbook."
"Sorry, but I'm illiterate and proud of it, so I won't be needing magazines."
"No, but would you like to buy my 1992 Chevy Cavalier? Low, low miles!"
And, my favorite. . .
"Sorry, we don't have a phone. (click)"
Shouldn't HE have those patents?:)

A: "Wanna TeraHertz Donut?"
B: "Sure!"
A Hits B
B: "Ow!"
A: "TeraHertz, Donut?"

But they still can't make a Quake bot that won't run around a corner unarmed. . .
that, soon, Alot of our Base are going to Belong To Them. :(
This may have resulted in the duplicate post. Slashdot engineers are investigating. . .
But will the official bootleg include the asshole behind me yelling at me to sit down? :)
like some sort of combination fake-vomit/sex toy device. THAT would be gross plastic. Not much protection, though. :)
You leave a small circle of nose grease on the door. If you were Karl Malden, it could have gotten ugly.
If they overcame the Clumsy-Ass Thumbs problem, this thing'll kick all our asses at 2-player! :)

As opposed to all those SCSI adapters that don't.
Still, looks like it could be a great product. I'd like to see long-term reliability stats, which obviously can't exist yet, but this bodes well.

But then, maybe AssetsandHardCurrencyAudio would have been a better name. Seriously, this is sort of sad.
Seriously, good to see stuff like this. And in Florida of all places!
