If they're not returning the tag then they obviously don't care enough about their privacy... Unless of course they lose it, in which case they lose their deposit and the data is removed anyway.
Probably not, you're talking about thousands of computers, all of which are basically in use in a production environment. This would have meant killing their customers machines to change to freebsd, yadda yadda yadda...
I own a set of 15 year old Mission speakers. Damn nice sounding they are too. One of the drivers got damaged when a friend drunkenly fell into it. Rather than mess about trying to repair it myself I posted the driver off to Mission to see what they could do. Unfortunately for me, they couldn't recone it but they could supply me with an equivelant replacement driver.
60 later and I'd repaired the speaker. Hopefully I'll get another 15 years out of them.:)
Many decent speaker manufacturers offer a recone service. If not they'll more than likely offer a replacement driver. Give it a shot!

£20 a month for 512/256 ADSL? Nice. Or not?
I used to bill my time at US$200/hour. I should send a bill to the gaming company for putting a virus on my system that just cost me a day's work.
Yeah! Cos we all know how well that worked for stopping junk faxes/email/whatever!!
Yeah but come on, if you even THOUGHT you might have a winning can, wouldn't you take them all out of the packaging and have a look?
This is a whole lotta fuss about nothing.

They're talking about the lack of hard drive, fans etc etc.
You'll have a useless Blackberry in a foil bag??
How do you know if you've not scanned for it?
Nothing beats lying in bed, wirelessly sending email. :)
/.'ers with no girlfriend, right? :P
I take it you're one of the
It's only pointless if you already know the answer. I just hope that one day you don't want to find something out...
Yeah, they have to put their ADSL charges up.

Surely this is obvious? When the hiker returns the tag the data is deleted. There's no need to hang onto it any longer than that, is there?
Clearly they did. ;)
It's hiccups, not hickups. ;)
Or a large beer glass. Which sounds much better than a damn sailboat. Although you could get more beer in a sailboat... Hmmm...
Why? Your CDs don't have the extra audio channels either. Double fawk.

Nuff said.
Tut, hate to reply to my own post, that 60 should have a UK Pound symbol before it. The replacement driver cost me 60 UKP. :D

That's not ADD, that's just run of the mill shit TV. ;)
Quake 4 and Doom 3 are two seperate games being developed independantly of each other. Quake 4 is NOT AKA Doom 3.
WTF is that meant to be?? Not that I advocate trolls but come on, you could at least put some effort into it.
What's the point in posting articles on /. when a couple of days afterwards at the most, someone else will post it again anyway... ;)
I'll get my coat...
