The champagne and caviar are actually the cheap bit. The extra space is what really costs and your 1.5x the normal rate doesn't cover the cost - which is why there is no such choice.
Errm, have you heard of the industrial revolution? The steam engine, iron and steel production, automated textile production, steam trains, iron clad ships. British.
I can live with a CD-check (though I dislike them)
I've got 2 Codemasters games which I can't play despite owning the originals. The Philips DVD rewriter in my new machine isn't compatible with the CD-check. I guess I won't be buying any more Codemasters games...
iTunes 6 has not been cracked. Installing it also upgrades all your previous Music Store downloads to use the iTunes 6 protection.
This is personally a problem as I can't transfer my downloads onto my SonyEricsson phone
then all the money goes to Oxfam
Er, no. Most of the money goes on renting the premises and taxes. Charity shops actually make startlingly small profits, especially when you consider they don't pay for their staff or their stock.
I can't imagine the source being much use these days to be honest. It's likely to be written in Pascal, completely non-Object Oriented and written using superceded APIs.
If you wanted to improve it in any way you'd probably be better off writing a clone from scratch.
Then make it so that when you hold down control (or whatever) and click the menu, the normally disabled choices are available.
Apple does this quite often and I find it infuriating, it's one of the few poor choices in the Mac UI. It's the wrong thing to do because it's not readily discoverable. An 'advanced options' button, or similar, is the way to go.
In Europe the Focus has an excellent reputation. The only significant difference I can think of is that the European market cars are build in Belgium, the North American market cars in Mexico (if I recall correctly).
To start with it won't open DV clips longer than about 9 minutes. It doesn't tell you this though, it churns away for ages trying to import then gives a bland error which doesn't tell you why it failed. Eventually you figure you have to split your clips up, import and stitch them back.
It also does a terrible job of importing clips in
any format other than DV, even if the QuickTime codec is available. You pretty much have to buy QuickTime Pro, open the clips and export them as DV.
iDVD really ought to be able to import clips directly rather than having to build iMovies from them first. If you don't need to edit, just want to burn a disc, this is a pointless extra step.
I haven't found any mention of fixing these issues in the new iLife, if they have been fixed I'd pay for the upgrade.
In the UK bag checkers have no legal right to check your bags. One store used to have a policy of refusing refunds unless your receipt was stamped by a bag checker but this wasn't legal either and has now stopped.
They aren't going to win any more of the desktop market by making it look fancier
They don't want more market share - they already own the market. They want upgrade revenue so they need to make previous versions look out out-of-date.

You're average hacker won't - but an academic institution like the University of Portsmouth might have more success.

50,000 signatures in a country of 60m people is hardly proof of universal support either

Yeah, that and the 3.5" floppy. Disasters both of them.
That's not a new car - that's the Ariel Atom with an electric motor in it. http://www.arielmotor.co.uk/
Atheists don't think it's "cool to hate God" - they don't believe there is a god.
Are we so daft these days that our phones have to be polite for us? Yes. Next question please.

So what if your work involves using music/media/games?
No, but MS Virtual PC runs BeOS quite well
Yeah, that Gandhi got nowhere. If only he'd done some rioting...

Absolutely. And it's not even a good copy, it looks awful.

If more people took this advice there'd be a lot less buffer overruns in this world
It certainly worked for them didn't it?
It's this difference in attitude which makes it much harder to introduce things like RFID tags in Europe than it does in the US.

A lot of Africa is fertile. Zimbabwe and Kenya spring to mind.
