As long as it is not the only strategy, it's actually a good one: It's easy enough to perform it very frequently, protects you against most user mistakes (accidentally overwriting an important file, for example), and allows quick access to the backup.
Proper response in a market based economy is to go create your own competing content and offer it at better terms, not to bitch about high prices.
Did you read what you responded to? Even just the part you quoted? He explicitly did not bitch about the prices. He complained about the work he has to invest to get the content he paid for to actually play (if he could get it at all).
Once upon a time, you could basically rely on being able to play whatever you bought, as long as you had the right sort of playing equipment. Those times are apparently over.
This is just as the Green party started in the 70s.
Indeed, AFAIK this even includes the points you raised before that for the Pirate Party: When the Green party was formed, it contained everything from very left-wing to very right-wing. The only unifying theme was being for ecology, against nuclear power and against war of any kind.
So far - the next OS X update for their Macbooks?;-)
What, they use Macbooks!? No vote for them!!!!1111eleven;-)
Which airline has flights which last only a few seconds? And is it because they reach their destination that fast, or because they can't keep their 500 million square dollar aircrafts from crashing immediately?
If your goal is not to create fake money, but to damage the country (the hostile government case), you don't care if your money is found to be fake. You just create so much fake "money" that the servers break down under the effort of verifying.
Just don't have any form of traditional television that is ridiculously super expensive and run by assholes that *think* they can control the distribution.
The point is, I would have to pay the cable fee even if I would not have a TV at all. The only way to not pay it is to move out.
but doesn't this make you a larger target, because they presume you have something to hide, why else would you go to that extent. What you could do is to mount a lcd video of a retirement home survailence camera in front of it, and have a pizeo speaker that plays some classical music station.
And then the RIAA gets you for re-broadcasting the classical music.
You didn't say how long it took to sell the Windows box. From all you say, the Windows box might have been sold after five minutes.
You also omitted a lot of other information which would be needed to evaluate what this anecdote might say (well, given that it is an anecdote, a data set of just one data point, it does not say much anyway). You didn't say how you priced them (both relative to each other, and to whatever a comparable system would typically cost at a common retailer). You didn't say which version of Windows you put on the Windows computer (nor which version of Linux you put on the Linux computer).

Does not work on Linux.
So is switching off your power while your computer is heavily operating on disk.
Yeah, it's the day where you switch off electricity to save power while your computer is busy overwriting the old backup with the new one. ;-)

Another way is to put it into <a> tags without href: http://slashdot.org/
Wait, you're saying that a Google-made page works best in a Google-made browser?
Will the days of IE-only web pages return, only with IE replaced by Chrome?
It's a mis-spelling of "Pariahment", the place where we put the Pariahs. :-)

And the D-Mark. They got that too, but not for very long.
Isn't that actually guaranteed if you don't like either of the two large parties?
Don't worry. Microsoft's backdoors will not work well until about the fifth version. :-9
... and still no cure for confusing "there" and "their"! :-)

While the winter overall indeed was very mild, the dip was definitely not slight. It was relatively short, but quite deep.
The effect of too much dope? :-)

Makes sense: To launder money, you certainly need a laundry detergent. :-)

But you only can decide to not buy it because of the problem if you are aware of the problem.

In my case, no cable TV would mean moving to a different place. Hardly no effort at all.
Well, if you read the comments here, people want something like the N900. Which you won't get by relabelling an Android device.
Well, if Gartner reliably makes wrong predictions, it's still useful: It tells you what to avoid. :-)
