But even if they get it right away, they may not keep it.
My bank credits some checks to my account immediately, and some 5 or 10 days later. Corporate checks with good security features are always credited immediately. Personal checks with hand signaures are usually not credited immediately, although I did just case one for $5,000 that did get creditted immediately to my surprise, apparently because I already had $5,000 in my account. (And no, it's not still there, paid off the credit card for all you elite hackers looking for cash.)
3rd party checks, 10 days.
What makes banks nervous is 1) When they can't tell if there is money in the account the check is drawn on (personal checks) or 2) they think the check may be fraudulent. That's especially true with 3rd party checks, temporary checks, or checks that just look "funny" to them. If it turns to be fraudulent, then the other bank is going to come take that money back later, and if you've already withdrawn it and run off, they're SOL.
Remember, money lost to fraud is ultimately paid by the consumer through higher fees or lower returns.

Assuming poeple buy laptops at walmart, if the laptop is $100 cheaper, why wouldn't a Wal-Mart shopper buy the one that is $100 cheaper? They don't know (or care) what OS is on there most likely. It's an environment where price is king.
In my experience, women are indeed much more accident-prone than men. But your garden variety accident isn't that expensive - my sister and my mother run into stuff all the time, but it usually just costs them a bumper or door dent or something.
On the other hand, how many people do you ever heard of who are driving 80 miles per hour down a back road, get airborne, and take out a tree, their car, and their three budies in the car, who are either over 25, female, or married? I'd bet none.
Now we're not talking about a $2,000 bumper repair with a $500 deductible, we're talking about exceeding the policy's limit for an accident; $100,000, $300,000, etc.
Anyway, point is insurance isn't about getting in accidents. Insurance is about how much liability the insured is exposing the insurance company to. It takes 200 "women can't drive" fender benders to equal one "single teenage males are morons" 80 MPH car vs. tree catastophe.

Of course, the power supply is the one thing in your computer that's a pain in the posterior to replace; might as wellj just get a whole new case.
They said they were never your cycles in the first place.
If you stopped paying your bill, you'd still own the electros, it'd just be harder to get them to move.
Why would they sue the Enterprise? Is that even possible?

So it *IS* free as in beer? I'm so confused.

Moving it to Friday kiled it. That's the spot for zombie TV shows, which are dead but don' t know it yet.
It's dead, AND we know it.
Well, if you were a real geek, you'd have your DVR record Enterprise, and then take your father to the strip club.
Well, at least you'd have the DVR record Enterprise.

You can protect the stupid people from the world if you want, but you can't protect them from themselves.
Which OS is better at protecting the world from stupid people?
I recommend ScissorOS, the only OS that runs on a network cable, for stupid users.
But do they have a license to ill?
Without that, I don't think they stand much of a chance.
What did the monkeys DO with the photos? If you could say, get Bush photos on a roll of Charmin, I'd be inclined to buy them.
Crack.

He'll have a tough time on the false imprisonment and the slander without the liable.
