That's not 100% correct. A debit signifies an increase in an asset or expense. I.e. if you put $100 into your bank account, your would debit it by 100. The opposite, a credit, is an increase of a liability or an income.
So for instance, if you would buy a car, you would do:
DR Vehicles $50000 CR Bank $50000
On the other hand, if you've sold goods, you would generally do:
1) Cut down on expensive special effects 2) Refuse to pay actors millions to appear in movie This will lead to: 3) Lower cinema prices 4) Lower DVD costs and will eventually lead to less piracy
It's not the special effects that make a movie good. It's the story and the acting. And low paid actors can be just as good as super stars.
Considering that the power cable is probably the cheapest part of the system to replace, I wonder if this might not be an excuse to collect data of Xbox owners.
a) The release of Xbox Next is imminent (i.e. comming fall/winter.) Microsoft may be wanting to collect data for massive marketing or regional statistics.
b) Microsoft may be wanting to collect data to crackdown on modders. With Xbox live, they can determine the serial number of modded Xboxes. Considering that you have to enter the serial number of your Xbox to order your power cord replacement, they might be collecting the addresses of the owners of these Xboxes.
Am I the only one who thinks that the article is completely void of substance? The author barely even mentions what Open Source is, does not analyse the reasons for Open Source, and gives two-three obvious explanations. Then he attempts to compare Open Source programming with file sharing and SETI@Home. It is wrong to compare these two examples since they're based on unused resources. Spare time is not an unused resource.

That should be "DR Account receivables" of course, not "Account payables"
