While not 'Vette speed quite yet, the Accord Hybrid has more Horse Power than the the non-Hybrid. Honda's big on increasing Horse Power AND increasing MPG.
Seems to me there was a/. story a while back about a University in Germany that used a massive IDE hard drive array to back up it's data. Might be a good place to start.
Hopefully they won't win because the name spam has gone from a trademark into common usage. IANAL, but had they sued the first few people to use spam to describe unsolicited email, they might have had a chance.
If you can find a copy of it, this is an odd comedy.
It stars Crispin Glover, and has a cult like multilevel-marketing business (ala Amway) and a dead cat in a cooler. What more could you ask for?
I used to work for Futureshop in the US. Needless to say I don't work there anymore, because they closed all their US stores. Left a lot of people in the lurch who had purchased extended warranties. While they did provide a list of companies who would continue to provide service for these warranties, it was still disconcerting for the people who had bought them.
Also, most sales people are under great pressure to sell those things because the margins are great. I had only worked there for a few months and was alreadly leading my department in total sales, and margin...that didn't matter if my Extended Warranty sales weren't at a certain percentage.
But depending on the product they can be a good investment. A car deck is a good example. It's in an abusive environemnt, and the cost for the contract is usually not too bad. Another product I've purchased them on is Home Stereo Equipment. I've seen enough recievers die, or have other problems to know it's a good idea to protect the investment, assuming the reciever is expensive enough to warrant it.
And cost is where you have to balance the decision. The cost of replacement of the item. The likelyhood that you'll still have the item by the time the manufacturers waranty is up, and how much it costs, over the years NOT covered my the manufacturers warranty.

But have you installed both...Oracle is a bear to setup
Articles say that the liscenses were thrown in as part of a seperate breach of contract settlement. They were not "purchased".
