I was actually surprised my insurance company paid for CDs lost in my house fire. Thankfully, mine were undamaged downstairs and all that were damaged were my daughter's NSync, etc.
Insurance paid for audio CDs and software minus depreciation (full value for what I actually replaced - not the NSync!)
Perhaps if the insurance company had reimbursed you for the entire cost of your education, your argument would apply.
However, the CD is a tangible object and does not grant you any such rights as infinite copies forever, no matter how much you'd like to read into the fair use doctrine. If you can replace it so easily for free, you should not have been paid dime one by the insurance company since by your argument, the physical CD has no value. I will allow they could give you a blank CDR.
If your insurance policy reimbursed you for this loss, then it most certainly is NOT fair use - even if you disagree with the depreciation amount (didn't you carry replacement coverage?).
Mr. Smith said more than 250,000 customers completed the product activation process with trial versions of Symantec products this year, with negligible customer complaints.
What a business plan - consider all customer complaints "neglible." I guess they missed the Intuit fiasco last year.
I can't wait to buy one. Now what little exercise I get walking between the fridge and the couch can be eliminated. And instead of looking like a dork when I ride my cart around the grocery store, I'll look like a fat version of Robocop.
I am an FPGA designer by vocation. I was planning on buying the SLIMP3 for home, but now that I find a beginner VHDL programmer designed it, I am truly hesitant. Does the SLIMP3 allow for in-system reprogrammability in case of bugs?
Since I'll be long retired by 2050, I don't mind the robots taking the jobs as long as they pay into social security. Also, by then I'll probably need a robot to wipe my ass for me, so would someone start working on that project? (No, I do not want to be a beta tester!)
You have NOT seen a display until you use an Apple flatscreen. The thing is pure beauty and you will love it 100%. Anyone who sees mine is immediately insanely jealous.
Read the article - surveys are exempt. Does that mean if they survey you on some bullcrap first, then do the sales talk, they're exempt? Or could they just do a survey to see if you're interested in some aluminum siding (which they sell)?
If you agree to work hours for which you are not compensated, you are an idiot. Don't listen to the management bullcrap that "you are a professional, yadda, yadda, yadda" and you should work the hours to get the job done. Do you know any other professionals (Doctors, Lawyers) that work free hours? If my bosses want me to work extra hours, they must pay me for them.
Work is NOT your life, it only allows you a comfortable one. You only live once (except in video games, where three lives is standard).
About 15-20 years ago, I happened to burp simultaneously with a hiccup. Since that time, I have NEVER hiccupped more than three times when I get them (I used to have those hour-long sessions).
So I suggest chugging a Pepsi and then trying to time a burp with the hiccup.
My 8500 survived a house fire

My 8500 was present when my house burned (thanks to idiot neighbor). After the fire, heat, and dirty firehose water it looked like hell. The keyboard, mouse and monitor were shot (none were Apple products anyway). The CPU booted up and ALL data was intact - I had three drives in there, too!
Yeah, this bugs me too. Way back when I was in high school, we used the 4.0 as the top attainable - no matter what or where your class - AP, at the college, whatever. Today's kids say "So what, I have a 4.4 average - I'm smarter than you were." Bull-fucking-shit. Why do you need a cash register to figure my change?
She's just stepping down to be with her "life partner" (aka lesbian lover) and their twin kids. She's probably already rich enough to not have to work anymore. CEO's suck cash out of all businesses.
I did an online chat with tech support and the Mac version DOES NOT include "product activation technology".
However, the Mac version inexplicably costs more - probably due to dearth of competition. Note, that Taxcut is cheaper than TurboTax and can import TurboTax data from last year.

My favorite quote from the article:

Now I have to worry about future archeologists finding out just how ugly I was in life?

I don't have enough ears for that many channels in a portable. What do the headphones look like?
News flash: you go blind twice as fast with auto-erotic asphysiation (using a tie of course).

We Mac users have always found those bogus user interface ads just plain hilarious. We don't fall for no crappy windows interface buttons!
I wouldn't stick my thing in the part sex press.

I really don't give a flying f*** if Iraqis have internet access.
duplicate from days ago.
...then I got bored and hit the BACK button.

That's my pet peeve, too. Since when did impact become a verb?

Actually, Apple has been offering a $400 rebate on the 17 inch for quite some time (well, you had to buy a CPU, too).
