Windows isn't competitive on its own, it needs the help of lock-in services to keep customers captive. Microsoft can't do just Operating Systems, because nobody would buy them.
PROTIP: The AC's are actually trolls that believe, like you, that 1kB = 1000B. They're (or "he is", most probably) merely taking a contrary position in order to provoke you.
They were being read and written constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for about a year. I know it was constant because it was stuff I was grabbing from the net, and a lot of it ended up deleted before it was ever fully looked through. (I had my reasons.)
Actually RAID0 is kinda sweet when you consider drives don't exactly fail every day and the type of data you work with is transient and can be recovered relatively easily, such as in video editing.
Anyway, it's not as if the trenches are full of stories about people using RAID0 and not realising what it meant.
Not everyone is well-informed to know and seek for better alternatives. Some are happy to follow whatever the record labels throw at them. Only through words of mouth and coverage by media will people learn, and ditch the record labels for the better services.
Most of them are bound by contract to the labels for a certain time or number of releases. It's not that they don't know to switch, but that they can't.
The whole point of running high voltages like 25kV is so you don't have hundreds of amps of current flow. A human can be killed by merely 30mA of current flow through them, but the amount of current that will flow through them depends on lots of things, like their footwear, the resistance of what they touch the conductor with, how sweaty and dirty their palm was etc.
Volts is a potential. Amps is not, it is a result of those Volts meeting a certain resistance.
A while ago I had an AMD K6-2 which couldn't gunzip one of the XFree86 tarballs (invalid compressed data - CRC error). I left memtest running over 24 hours which showed nothing, copying the file onto another machine (using the K6 as a fileserver) and gunzipping it there worked. I eventually bumped into someone with the same mobo and same problem, and figured binning the mobo was the fix.
To be honest, most of the comments about ECC RAM here have convinced me that it's worth it just for more peace of mind - all those poppy MP3s I've got and never thought much about could well have been caused by corruption at my end all this time.
Just in case you didn't realise, the population of India is 1.1 billion. Even if you only netted 0.1% of them, and for only a dollar a time, that's a million bucks.

*gulp* - I replied to the wrong comment, sorry.
Nice appeal to emotion there...
It's not like a fake Wii is going to put a kid at risk of head injuries.
I don't think it would do your court case any favors if you also burdened yourself with having to prove your evolutionary theory.
Okay then, data. How fast is a two megabit connection?
What's Mega? (As in MegaHertz?)

WOW! A new foe over a Monty Python joke! Harsh.
Mom found it?

Thanks, AC. I'd have otherwise had no idea that a jet liner used more fuel than your average sedan.

You must be a hoot at parties!
Isn't that what the environment variable $HOME is for?
