If you buy a pre-built with Windows, and then kill is accidentally after warranty, I believe you still would have to buy a new WIndows license, as the license is supposed to stay with the original PC, as that is part of licensing agreement. Could be wrong though. This there is a non-tranfer clause somewhere.
especially if you consider the equipment expenses they have
Most of these people bought a very expensive ($10,000) medium format camera and a gang of lenses when they got into the business and have not had to replace the damn things yet. What equipment costs are you refering to? Most of the time when they move to digital, the new camera is a fraction of the old and all of those old leses still fit the new digital body. If a pohotographer doesn't upgrade down this path they are an idiot!
I work in a professional photo lab serving predominently wedding and portrait photographers. I can tell you that most (not all) of the high priced photographers are not nearly as good as they tell you they are. Most of them cannto run a camera to save their life. They rely on the lab to make the shitty negative they have taken into a good print.
Also, think of the number of images that a typical photographer shoots at a wedding. How many of those do the bride and groom actually see? Do you have that much room in YOUR job to get something right? There are also lots of retouching that can be done, mostly for skin blemishes, but also to correct problems a first year Fine Arts major would have seen in the first place before they shot the image. Most of these guys are hacks who think they can pick up a camera, call themselves a fine arts wedding photographer (or whatever the catch phrase du wedding season happens to be) and charge you $2000 dollars for 8 hours of camera time a few more back in the studio and then give you an album that their lab cost if about $100. Sounds like gouging to me.
The legitamacy of this has been blown by these people who have signed up a fake ebay account to submit insanely high bids. Great. Another reasons humans should not be allowed to colonize other planets.
It is prosumer. The comsumer will not want that big of a file, but a professional photographer is going to need that much resolution for, say, a large family grouping, or a wedding group. Even a nice landscape. Most consumer will never need to go over a 1 or 2 meg file. That size can be taken to Costco (or Wal-Mart, or Rite-Aid) and get a quite nice 4x5 or even an 8x10 from it.
It seems to me that his statement about not wanting to run a network that a "high school kid" could penetrate, needs to be more specific. I would wager that most of the break-in on the internet are teens, who get big thrills off of the more infantile shit, scrpit kiddies if you will, and not hard core attackers. Granted these kids can, and do, do major harm and are just as capable of theft.
That is the prevelent theory I have seen. They could not have had light as the tungsten filament wasn't invented for another 1900 years anyway. They did not want to go through all of the museums anyway and find all of the "solid gold" idols were really plated.
They have found a battery from Roman/Egyptian times that uses copper (I think), and grape juice. All you will need are pennies, and a large grape vine wherever you go.
If you make a swing through the Northwest and are in Portland, stop by Powell's Bools downtown. HUGE. Great selection of anythign you could ask for. Lots of used, cheap copies of books as well. Not just new.

What could really be worse than being "the Morning Zoo Crew" in Medford, Oregon? Maybe radical mastectomy surgery. But not much else.
There is nothing that would make me want to travel there at Mach 9. Take my word on this. For the love of God. Please.

I remember seeing an interview with him where he mentioned writing neuromancer on a typewriter, so you may not be far off on this.

If you look at the key words for that cache, "BUMS" is one of them. Too funny!
The fucker better clean my toilets while its streaming me music.
he used his gun as a reference point for the diameter of the bore. That kinda makes it even creepier.
Someone will find s way to overflow a buffer and BINGO! privilege step-up. Won;t take long either, IMHO.

Emerald is green. Cyan is not-red, ie. if you take red out of something you are adding cyan.
instead of a nice ring for our wedding day, I am going to buy you a 1.5 carat computer. Honey... where are you going. Wait! Come Back!
Sure, they are great musicians. But Great White had WAY better hair!

I beg to differ. Link Looks pretty cut and dry to me.
Ooooooo!. Destruction of money is a federal crime. Lawbeaker! Unclean! The Secret Service will be knocking soon.

I found a link to the text of the resolution passed by Southern Baptists about their boycott of all things Disney. I think they are still boycotting.
They are hated by the Southern Baptist's for (gasp) employing homosexuals, and allowing them to be (another gasp) OPEN.
