That's what disclosure is for. Now people will read about this and the other stores will see this as a poor option. There's always a choice. You don't have to buy from Best Buy. If enough people complain and refuse to buy their PS3 from Best Buy, this policy will stop. That's the answer.
But Snow Leopard was only $29 for Leopard users when it first came out (temp price, yes). MS did the same thing at $49. They just seem to want you to pay twice as much....and more.
Microsoft sets the price to high and the various version model isn't helping. Who wants to switch if XP is working for you? $119 for the Home Edition or $89 for the Anytime Upgrade to the Home Edition.
Hey, it's in the cloud right? It's safe! Everything belongs in the cloud! All the cool kids are smoking the cloud! Now governments are in the cloud! You know..where everything is safe from things like outages...no wait Google's had several outages. Safe from lock-in! No wait, by virtue of the fact you're in a cloud and not keeping things in your control you're actually locked-in. The point is the cloud is GOOD!
Seriously, this is even worse than locking all of your software into one vendor. Now you're giving them the data too!
The U.N. would have actually have credibility in order for it to be undermined.
As for the troll above, just because someone points out the ineptitude of the IPCC report doesn't mean they don't understand that the climate is changing or that they deny it.
The U.N. is a joke. Corruption, brutal regimes named to civil rights posts, IPCC. I mean seriously, this is the job I want. Sit around collecting a check for something that will not happen in my lifetime.
Until Apple makes projectors, Video Pod should win. It's a matter of if they can hold out. This isn't a trademark failure, it's a judge failure. Were I the judge, Apple would be paying Video Pod for their troubles and kissing some butt. It's time for judges to throw out stupidity.
I wouldn't say vinyl albums "soar." While they can reach great heights when flung, they basically slice the wind. However, lacking the brim that a frisbee has prevents them from soaring very well.
Meanwhile Sprint's customer service has improved steadily and more than any other carrier's in the last three JD Power surveys. In another survey, they exceeded not just their industry but every industry covered under that survey. Just sayin' they're CS is better and they're keeping their data plans as-is which has been lower than AT&T and Verizon for a couple of years or more.
You have no way of knowing that. By keeping an unlimited plan Sprint would have a nice differentiator from the competition. It would make sense given it's position. There is less and less reason for cell providers to collude anymore. In the past it was a race to the lowest price. The smart players will want to entice those who don't want limits, perceived or otherwise. That's what gets press. AT&T killing unlimited data plans just made people lust for a Verizon iPhone even more. Now if Verizon follows suit there could be an opportunity for Sprint to keep unlimited plans and lure data users and maybe Apple too.
The Windows firewall is necessary for the average user. When finally turned on in XP it had an immediate effect. If we're talking about the enterprise, that's one thing, but for home users it's a must. For most who read this forum, not so much.
I don't think you did. But when you resorted to petulance you essentially betrayed a disregard for intellectual honesty and a penchant for group-think. So you seem comfortable in your place why can't I be comfortable in mine?
Maybe they're gun-toting geeks tired of Google's abandonment of "Do No Evil." I mean, being geeks it would explain why they haven't hit the insulators. Maybe hitting the fibre was luck. And they're only dressed like hunters! Perfect cover. Never underestimate Anonymous!
"Yet people in Europe don't feel oppressed, and have high levels of personal happiness (as well as other factors like health) whilst generally having better levels of literacy and numeracy. Most importantly, European "preference for the safety of lawbreakers over personal self-defense" seems to allow us to have vastly lower crime rates than in the US, particularly much lower gun crime rates, and certainly vastly fewer accidental injuries and deaths from firearms."
"For the rest of us (non-Americans), we think a love of guns and a feeling of necessity to own fire-arms by U.S. citizens is as fucked up as it is in the Middle East for ordinary citizens to own automatic military assault rifles. It's one thing to be Libertarian about gun ownership, and quite another to be fanatical about gun ideology and just plain Gun Happy, as most Americans seem to be."
And that's why Americans are glad you don't live here. You're far removed from America and can sit back and read a single story on/. and determine that gun-carrying Americans are all out to kill fibre or otherwise do stupid stuff. The vast majority are law abiding citizens. And let me tell you, the police are there to examine the scene and arrest the perpetrators. Rarely do they have the opportunity to say, stop a break in or take down a would-be assailant. They simply can't be everywhere. And if you'd ever been the victim of a gun crime you might think differently. Yes, I have.
Stifling free speech is never a good thing. Whether it's hate speech laws or outright criminal charges to stifle someone. This is for fail, not for good.
Say it loud. It makes you sound right. You got that going for you. I like to wrap myself in being right. It's warm, albeit sarcastic. But it's assuring. Sarcasm without being right is somewhat empty feeling. Which is why people resort to insulting language.

They do. You can essentially roam on Verizon's network and vice versa.
Dude, I'd like to see a pic of that. Seriously. :o

Long on talk short on stats.

Freeze to death? Wow! Someone's making full use of their bandwidth!
I've been SO waiting for another Linux fork!
Eh...the foods better.
So someone committing a blatant crime is an example of the failure of free speech? You silly, or dumb, or both. Either way you're fucked up.
Apparently, when the Cajuns left Nova Scotia they left the pussies in Quebec.

Good point. It isn't exactly a Netscape/IE thing. It's a little closer to MS OEM agreements. Albeit more blatant.
