Here is exactly what slashdotting looks like, in this case:
account suspended
Your account has been suspended. We have sent you an email explaining why. This email should also contain information on how you can unsuspend your account.
Now while it doesn't seem like a good deal, the calculus of $200 coupon + $349 unlocked device does come out to less than $600 MSRP, plus you might save sales tax on the $200.
You would have to be pretty lame not to know the ebay item is a coupon, so the only question is what is the coupon worth? The market will tell.
No body is laughing at the junk YOU buy on eBay - yes you, I'm talking to you, the trekkie in the stupid uniform!
Think of some evil that Microsoft is NOT the source of.
Got one? (almost any evil will do - war, terrorism, child molesters) In the cosmic scheme of things, software companies don't even show up on my evil radar.
I don't know if these "realistic" crime shows are inspiring budding young scientists, but it sure is educational for non-stupid criminals (and although there are few of those percentage-wise, it is a large absolute number).
I sure have cleaned up my evidence-leaving ways, seeing all the good tips on these reality shows.
Heck, if the witness-relocation program didn't keep moving me about, I'd be caught by now, for sure!
Sorry to reply to my own post, but I just wanted to point out that raw DV is about 12GB an hour, so most folks who have video of their kids can expect to want to store 500GB of home video with no problem.

I have never needed to either.
To my knowlege, failure to turn in the warranty card in no way lessens any warranty coverage you might be entitled to, should you need it.
Of course companies will not notify you personally should your anonymous product turn out to be a deathtrap, so keep an eye out for product recalls.

Suddenly, I am hungry...
You just need to know when to use which.
I used to like Sun, but now-a-days... why bother?
At least that's the way I understand the masses.
Basically, it had to be right because it was important and because there was no room for screw-ups, literally!

Q.E.D.
For example, how much spam does the Whitehouse get?
Do they cite the number of spams the average person gets? There is nothing other than the obvious in that article.
The article might have well said it is probably cold in Antartica too.
This was BS (before spam).
I don't think the "he was a camper" defense would stand up in court.
End of message.

The downside is you need to find a client, and you need to do what THEY want.
The upside is that you still work for yourself, set your own hours, work from home, etc.
As far as Patents and stuff, make sure your contract indemnifies you - after all the stuff belongs to your client.
Some enlightened clients might even pay you to write open source software that fits their needs.
One or more of the above sentences applies to me, so I know lone programmers can make a living, being, well, almost lone programmers.
And, there is a $1500 per bag liability limit, but if you don't have your check-in stub you are out of luck.
2) assholes
3) dweebs
Well, most of us geeks are already dweebs. If we were assholes, we'd probably have gone over to the dark side already and be in sales.
I don't have the personality for ambulance chaser.
The only question is whether JD dweebs make more than geek dweebs. lol
This is always a slashdot crowd pleaser.
Dammit why does lamb cost so much anymore?
I understand Lawyers get paid whether they win or not.
I am serious here. 44 is not too old to start over, right?
Stick that in your green pipe and smoke it.
... might be useful even on my 4.7GB DVD+/-R discs.
Just so I trust that my precious video of that birthday party is conserved...
I am willing to only get 100 GB per disc, if the redundant copies in the 500GB space give me a good chance of seeing the 100GB I want...
Super-redundant error-tolerant copy software anyone? I sure want it to tbe open-source, so that I can trust it will survive for a few years.
2 years here, 2 years there... pretty soon you are talking DEAD.
