A USA $50 retail item did not cost the NJ store $50, they bought it for probably $30 WHOLESALE.
So what I am saying, is why cant the Australian retail shop, buy USA products wholesale at the same wholesale price as the little tiny shop in the small town in NJ.
This is where we aussies are pissed off, retailers/shops dont buy things RETAIL, but WHOLESALE. And their wholesale prices from usa are either too high, or there is only ONE single importer that they must buy from at 2x wholesale price.
Look today, the PS3 in AU is close enough to USA price, but 2 years ago it was like 2x difference before sony got a clue. http://www.shopbot.com.au/m/?m=ps3
But software, that takes zero space to transfer, should cost the same, always by law or call the WTO.
At least australia wont send you to gitmo or send some fake FBI to arrest you with false warrants.
Dude, all adobe is selling is a serial # for activation, it doesnt matter where one lives. I know you americans are poor and cant afford 20 tacos for lunch daily with their 4 gallon coke drinks.
Stop asserting MAYBEs.
My AU$ converted to US$ electronically is done automatically via Visa or Paypal, and at only 1-2% rates. NOT your imaginary 10%, high street 711 stand.
Buying a serial # from USA is not the same as importing products into AU. From adobes point of view, I an AU customer should be identical to an American.
Stop lying, american corporates are charging Au, Eu, Asia, everyone higher prices to subsidise the dismal crap economy in mainland USA. If you had zero foreign sales, your local ones will send you bankcrupt, but thats no reason to RIPOFF the planet, or all AU customers should just use a friend or proxy contact in usa to buy from usa.
Comon now, you can sell stuff cheap in singapore, or to mexico, or to canada, but let it pass through one middle mad on its way to australia and that FAT asshole prick will bump up the prices 30%. Its like USA is so advanced , but asking it to ship products outside USA zones is like asking them to ship to mars or something. Yet UK/europe/asia, they can ship anywhere TWICE as quick. Why is it stuff from UK arrives in 1/3rd the time than USA stuff? Is it the DHS scanning 50 planes/hr ?
And adobe, screw your resellers, just sell your shit 100% online.
Resellers OFFER NOTHING in the internet world, sure in 1990 they did advertise and offer support, today none.
I want to see a future, where you immediately, go online with the cop to a live judge via skype on the ipad, so that there and then can decide if the cop is wrong, then the cop is to pay a fine.
I tell you, the whole justice system , plus the education system and the medical system needs a complete overhaul redesign and be 100% wireless.
Its way overdue for teachers to be obsolete, except helping the 'challenged' few, s burn those text books, put all courses online and exams online, and marking online, what a teachers for again? Keeping the peace? taking roll calls?
If everyone uses their free allocated bandwidth to send 1000000000000 billion random bytes to the ISP, or;yourself;, then they have to log those contents.
So...
Send 1 byte per TCP packet, 1 per 48 bytes.
Send it to.... out your adsl to the NSA gateway.
So even if your ISP sees you sent 100MEG, its 4800MEG wasted space on NSA.
And if its 100% pure random, ie/dev/random and xor it with some other random data, just mix 10 algos together.
Now X that by 100 m screen savers, and watch their datacenter go empty, or they have to filter out pure random crap.
We must look the evil monster in the eye, and say, Fuck you mother fucker, you might have the dollars and cia behind you, but we have 100x more humans that can go crazy wild on you.
If i was given a computer in 1984 I would use it to the max and learn it all, if todays students or teachers cannot be bothered, even in poor countries, then it just shows you that they are dumber than we thought.
Mean while they see adds for ipads and other cool cheap tablets, maybe the OLPC should be OTPC.
It doesnt matter how good any language is, its the available framework tools and libraries which make it useful.
ie, C by it self, is simple and takes lots of coding to make something useful (if you do not use any libs at all)
Strongly type langs can be a bitch if you are editing in VI/VIM, as they dont 'know about the language' to auto help you out, besides colors. Today cpus are so fast, the IDE should help you program, and act as if types are free, and the IDE can auto determin types, and fix it for you. Otherwise if you have to spend 20% of the byte space of your language defining types and pre casting EVERYTHING, then its not an efficient and smart human friendly language.
Its kind of funny, that in assembly language, you only really have 3 types of ints plus floats, and pointers, and are free to interpret values to your imaginations content.
If you have to reinvent everything because its not there, then youre wasting your time.
So if old forums were converted to plain static html files that can be easily copied/indexed, then that means that all this fancy pants highend database stuff is all a big wank and long term useless as its not portable data.
These days every single programmer is too lazy to do any binary storage, and just throws anything that requires more than 5 items in an array or enum, into a SQL database, or sqlLite, and just use SQL statements to find/add/remove items.
algorythms? its all been done for us, if OO is that good as it says it is, then no one need to re-code an existing algorithm ever. Just use a framework/class and presto, it just works. Most code is all just data translation and storage and lookup.
The liars at the pentagon (where they loose trillions in $$$$ often in clerical errors) had all the high tech to know Saddam had zero WMD, but went in any way.
If america wants to rape you and get praised, they will do so.
Yeah that has helped, look at Win2008 Server and Exchange 2010.
What bloody hungry hippos, either too many coders re implementing shit, or fucked If i know.
But interfaces/guis dont need C++, they would work as well in C#.
Judging by MS's C++ API, stop using long named objects, and 12 function calls to achieve one objective.
Hey, windows2000 uses less ram than android on a $60 phone. Why not just use win2000-64bit as a datacenter OS in VMs, running non-MS open sourced linux apps.
Boot Win2008Svr, and it uses more ram than 4 linux distros running at once in 4 VMs.

If its high priced, blame the high rents shop have to pay, because of the greed of bankers ironically lending more $ , driving up realestate prices.
btw, they are $30 in au, check here http://www.aussiedisposals.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=230&osCsid=2ede5ca184907bbedd1e18cd3112eebd
Us aussies can sell software to usa cheaper, and bandwidth is not an issue, we find ways to do it fast, get closer proxies etc...
Singapore has Amazon EC2 servers, is closer to AU for low latency, so why cant they have servers there?
Yeah telstra run by idiots who couldnt figure out how to reduce costs if they were even told how to. Outdated, and over paid managers.

DOS32bit with GEOS GUI, and with 512meg MEG MEG of ram and in 100% ascii large font interface, with ansi art would even kick but over Winmob7.

I wish cops would just not pick people on the little tiny things and just let things slide, unless its BLOODY obvious.
But arent traffic cops there in the first place because they stuffed up somewhere else and were given the shit traffic job?
Well, lets fill their data center up.

There IS NO ENEMY, other than the govt itself.

So how much data? 100 gb? 200gb?
Time to get a new server with at least 64gig ram, and use 4 x 512gb intel SSDs
Yes, its a little more money $320 worth of ram + good mb $1000 + $4000 in SSDs.
Give linux 1500gb of swap and let the OS handle caching.
Do you ever need more than 2 days of data in ram at the same time?

Amiga mhz was tuned to be in sync with the TV frequency screen updates.
ie, n nanoseconds represented X pixels on screen, 140 was 8 I think.
But more hardcore hackers and cool people used Amigas, at least where I was. Atari was just a puke ugly, and nothing kewl about it.
So if old forums were converted to plain static html files that can be easily copied/indexed, then that means that all this fancy pants highend database stuff is all a big wank and long term useless as its not portable data.
When we make an atari emulator on the Amiga using the Atari ROM.
Otherwise, if i was on the 4th plane and took down the baddies, I would then try to land the plane, and not crash it into 10000000000s pieces.
WTO are not the king pheroh dictator of EARTH.
They can go screw them selves.
I mean, why would Iran trust an Israeli company to run their computer control systems for their Nuke plants?
Or would Israel trust an outsourced Muslim corporation from Dubai to run their water infrastructure?
why waste billions in buying routers, start and grow your own industry, give grants to local companys to make routers.
Oh Australia is lazy, it rather spend $2b on USA routers, than spend $1b making its own.
Its not like its hard to make your own stuff, give lots of $$.
Just dont use 90% outsourced coders from agencies , hire them fulltime.
These days every single programmer is too lazy to do any binary storage, and just throws anything that requires more than 5 items in an array or enum, into a SQL database, or sqlLite, and just use SQL statements to find/add/remove items.

If you really want CPU power, get a server class box, 48core+
Show me a 48core mac.

Now earth, bend over, for the 12 million incher.
Fuck the govt, i mean seriously, and their hot daughters that are over 18 so that you can pollute their gene pool.
The govt should not forget that the GFC'08 was helped by all the illegal billions of $$$$ the drug cartels deposited into the banks.
Hey Mr Govt, legalize drugs, you already legalized murder for govt employees like FBI+CIA.
Yeah that has helped, look at Win2008 Server and Exchange 2010.
