EA WANTS YOU (or your spouse) TO QUIT!!! They want to ship all of your jobs somewhere else where people don't expect two-day weekends! You can bitch all you want, but nothing will get done until all of EA's work is done somewhere else.
You (or your spouse) have a choice: Keep doing what you're doing or face the inevitable and quit.
I'm not saying what EA is doing is right; I'm just stating a fact.
It's SO easy to get the code legitimately from Microsoft. All you have to do is form a huge country and threaten to convert over to Linux from Windows for security concerns. Ballmer will probably fly out himself with a copy of any source code you desire.
It's a simple fact that spam costs ISPs lots of money. If someone stole millions from AOL and got a 9 year sentence, no one would think twice. But if someone forces AOL to spend millions to block the unwanted spam, suddenly that's ok?! It makes no sense.
It's a hard concept to understand, so sit down, stop chewing any gum, and let me explain. Once you "pause" live TV it's no longer "live." For example, on my homebuilt PVR, after I'm done pausing I can skip forward until I catch up with "real-time" programming. I'll use this feature for sports. I'll pause and go rake some leaves. Come back and be able to skip boring parts (e.g., injuries or commercials) until I catch up again.
Furthermore, I pointed out all the alleged features of the device. And none of those features involve fast forwarding or skipping. Now maybe it can fast-foward/skip, but you'd think they'd mention such a cool and useful feature if it existed.
According to the article you'll be able to "pause and rewind live television broadcasts" and record shows. There is no mention of any ability to fastforward or skip commericals. Thus it is highly unlikely that any such feature exists.
Tivo was a huge giant step forward for consumers, Microsoft's taking us a couple steps back.
If she did lose her job, I'm glad. I called for a price and she gave me the wrong one. I told her that it couldn't be correct and asked her to verify it. She again gave me the wrong price. Based on that I drove all the way there. Since when is utter incompetence a virtue that needs protecting?!
But I've never had a bad experience with Best Buy. Maybe it's because I'm a clean-cut older white male, but I've never had to pay any 15% restocking fee. In fact, the people at the returns desk are usually the nicest people in the store! I've always been treated decently when making returns.
And there was one time I called for a price on an Archos MP3 player, back when 20 gigs was new and exciting. I was quoted the wrong price on the phone. MUCH too cheap. I asked to confirm it and was told the same price. I got that person's name.
I went to the store to discover the price I was told was incorrect, of course. I went to the manager and told him about the phone conversation I had, told him her name, and how I drove all the way there because of the price, and he gave it to me for the quoted price!
And here's the funny part. Despite getting a great deal, I ended up returning it because the Archos (at the time) could not shuffle across folders. Which I think is a pretty big omission.
Or by who wins the most electoral votes, it's simply who is
better at cheating. Currently, the
Republicans are better. But in history
past, the Democrats were
quite good.
There will always be opportunities to break the law. If a mere law could actually stop crime, we'd be crime free. In case you haven't noticed, we're not.
But whether you'll be able to break the law is not the point. The point is that it shouldn't be against the law in the first place.

Oh, I'll give some examples. I think Kenny G is the best jazz artist ever because I like his music more than that noisy jazz they play on public radio.

You know, I feel the same way about Jazz. I don't like it much or listen it much, other than Kenny G, but I have a strong desire to criticize it despite my complete ignorance.
Are you kidding?! Even Americans dislike Spam. The only time I ever see anyone with Spam is when it's bought as a gag/practical joke gift. I guess it may sell in the American South, but they eat scrapple there so it's not saying much.
The only area on earth where spam is considered a delicacy is in the South Pacific.
What kind of people do you hang out with? I NEVER heard of anyone changing his or her vote merely to "ensure" that they voted for "the winner." That's utterly absurd!
However, I do agree that after the last election, our system has become an embarrassment.

Yeah, but your way isn't as funny!

Now isn't that easier than committing a felony?!
Despite what people think, there is no right to privacy or "personal integrity" in the US Constitution. Maybe there should be, but as now there isn't.
When the upgrade offers you something you want to do, but cannot cannot currently do, for a price you're willing to pay.
One RCA plug going from my PVR computer to my TV. One 1/8 male stereo to two male RCA plugs going to my TV. A second such cord going to my stereo.
Any other questions?!
The Home Recording Act allows users to make copies of their music to share with friends and family members.

So basically AOL is going to spin off into four separate Goth bands?!

Create four layers of bureaucracy, management, and infrastructure where there used to be only one?!
It sort of makes since if Time/Warner wants AOL to fail as an excuse to dump it. But for any other reason, it makes no sense to me.
Anyone who enjoys running around and killing would vote Republican anyway. Unless the enemies in Halo2 involve ducks!

So our weapons crashing through the firmament will not bring down all the waters of the great flood?! That's good news.
Or by who wins the most electoral votes, it's simply who is better at cheating. Currently, the Republicans are better. But in history past, the Democrats were quite good.
How do you plan on getting those weapons past the firmament?!

I have proof!
...to have Premiere and Audition ported over to Linux. I'd totally download those programs from bittorrent if they were available!
