    Isn't this what you gun-nuts would call a second amendment situation? So, why don't you raise up with all your arms and overthrow this unjust justice system? Was the amendment not written with such a situation in mind? Or are you just "fire-and-brimstone" speech and no action?

    Maybe you should search for something besides Viagra.
    If i was searching for Viagra, all the spam would not have been spam since that is what they promote. So, no, I have never needed Viagra. Weed does a much better job for me.

    Well, the problem is that the results returned by Goolge are 99% spam and you have to wade through dozens of pages with results to find one or more that may be of interest.

    I no longer use google for searches, it's become a disaster.

    The only reason why you don't see the need, is because you are full of yourself. That is always a problem when one wants to look at various subjects and will always block any reasonable evaluation, as you clearly have shown.

    Watching movies like you do is like reading Shakespeare with several chapters removed in each book. You are watching (listening to or reading) a butchered piece of art and you think that is fine? Why not censor the bible too? A lot of violence there that are far worse than anything you can buy at Walmart.

  9. Re:As an ignorant foreigner on OfficeMax Drops Mail-in Rebates · · Score: 1

    Huh?

    The mail-in rebate is $20. rather than paying those $20, you put them in the bank and in the time it takes for you to get the rebate mailed back to you, the interest will have increased your $20 rather than you losing interest on the $20. I have no idea what 100% you are talking about.

    Btw, USA is the only country I have been in which have mail-in rebates. In most countries it is illegal.

    1. You will make more in interest by putting the rebate money in a savings account
    2. You provide the company with verified name, address, phone number etc that they sell to other spam companies.
    3. If they REALLY wanted to give you the rebate they would deduct it in the store. With mail-in they know that only a subset of the customers will actually ever receive the rebate, money saved.

    I can come up with more, but those are the 3 main ones for me.

    I'm not surprised at all..

    Anyone who believe in "The land of the Free" have dipped to deep into the kool-aid.
    When you give you president dictatorial powers and have no oversight and no way of getting rid of a president during his term, you have put yourself at risk. Add to that the ever increasing polarization of the politics in this country and you'll understand that there are no difference between a one-party state and a two-party state.

    Didn't we hate IBM once, too?
    Not you my son, you weren't born yet....

    But yes, IBM was hated but for total different reasons than MS is. Take a look at the history of Amdahl to see how the HW area was and then look at IBM's pricing back in thiose days. The first laser printer I worked with was rented from IBM for approx $15000/month and we managed to burn 3 of them down to the ground. Oh and they were huge! IBM was a financial vaccum cleaner, people wanted alternatives, IBM didn't.

    The list is painfully long when you talk about features missing in Open Source databases and no, beeing a big hitter on the web does not mean you put a heavy load on the database, that is light weight work. Logging drilling data from your favourite oil rig is, storing and controlling Hubble Space Telescope data is, handling ATM transactions are. I have not seen any OSS database used for such operations.

    Wrong!

    The music and film industry is not any more greedy than any other business. They do exactly what they are supposed to do, promote and protect their members interests and as long as the laws are the way they are, they have all the rights to do so.

    If you don't like the price, buy something else. If you want a particular piece of music for some strange reason I don't understand and don't want to pay the price, YOU have a problem, not the industry.

    I don't like the music industry and i haven't bought any new music for the past decade and I'm doing just as fine as before.. Don't like it? Don't buy it! How difficult is that?

    Your sudden concern about Ringos fortune is just ridiculous when the computer Apple has been suing people in a pace only rivaled by F1 cars. And as far as I know, Apple (the record company) was started way before Apple (the computer company), so in all fairness, the computer Apple should have given up all commercial use of the name Apple. If not, then I guess I'm in my right to start a new company called Apple which will *drumroll* grow and sell apples! I'm sure computer Apple will not sue me for that when they themselves have stolen the name Apple.
