Yes, we know that you think that all this legalese is completely ridiculous, and we think so too, but we also believe that current law unfortunately requires that it be done this way; So if you know of a better, simpler 'legally correct' way, do tell us how!
Hmmm, let's see. According to your terms of service it'll cost me at least $250 dollars to tell you. If I email you, $1 million.
I think I'll just tell you to go fuck yourselves instead.
HP printers are expensive to buy, and the consumables are at least 3X as expensive as their competitors (at least in Australia anyway).
Not to mention the cartridges that self destruct - if you don't use them in time. Great feature that!
I am responsible for purchasing of printers/comsumables at the company I work for. Would I buy HP? Well no, I wouldn't. This is just another reason not to.
It just goes to prove that America is not alone.
Australia also has the best judicial system that money can buy.
Speaking as an Australian, I would think that they got it for free... our government is constantly looking for ways to ingratiate itself with the US. It's embarrassing.
To make a long story short, I met a lot more women in a few months than I had in the previous 10 years, despite my introverted nature. After dating a few of them, I wound up marrying a very nice woman. And -- please forgive me, I cannot resist saying this -- she's a stunning blonde, tall, gorgeous, busty, and has a degree in mathematics. Ca-Ching!
You better hope she doesn't know about google then...
... but when business scale up and become increasingly large, there's no way that you can account for all of the people, or know them personally, and so there's record-keeping and spying and every such thing.
But so rarely is there trust - people tend to do what they are expected to do. If you treat them like a bunch of criminals, what incentive is there for them not to act that way?
I don't expect the situation to change, lord knows treating others with dignity and respect is not in most managers repertoire.
I have also found that you can buy items that are poorly described and relist them with more thorough descriptions, links to the manufacturer's website, better photos, etc., and they will typically sell for higher than you paid for them.
If it had the line "we're still gonna download music for free, as payment for doing this ad Pepsi has given me a lifetime membership at iTunes. The RIAA can suck my balls!" I would be happier with it.
If everyone who gets a copy of movies knows that they're traceable, wont this seriously cut back the amount of people willing to get screeners onto the internet?
In a word, no. If I were a 'distributor' of entertainment that I knew was marked for each individual, I would simply obtain more sources and compare them. Soon, I would be able to identify the indentifying marks.
And if I wanted to give the movie industry a big 'up yours', I would release my stuff with false markings.
No doubt you've listened to locally produced music. I don't think the question is whether you've been ripped off so much as why are you being punished?
Yes you are assigned to the scat and watersports division. Enjoy.
Whilst that stuff isn't my cup of tea, considering just how much of it there is there must be a fairly large audience for it. It's somebody's dream job.

Wasn't it just done by covering one of the holes and blowing down the tube?
The next time someone says "I have nothing to hide", suggest a body cavity search and see how quickly they change their mind.
Are you kidding? Have you ever tried getting a corpse to flush down the toilet? Geez, I'll never do that again as long as I live!

That would be because he's pimping out his book.
C'mon, you know that assembly will make you into a real man. What a load of crap!
Everyone knows that the best programmers are the ones who:
Right, mommy?
No honey, they come from mommy's poon.
And lo, the beast didst bring his buggy crapware before the people and said: "I bring you innovation!"
And the people at once fell down in despair before a ten-and-one-hundred blue screens ...
Shit! It looks like I just found the missing step!
As do all right thinking beings.
Anyone who likes David Spade has something seriously wrong with them.
Tell the truth now, those shower scenes in OZ can get pretty hot.
Mmmmm, Chris Meloni
Truth be told, you're more likely to end up with this uuurrghh!

Bought HP 19" rack for $1.00
Sold HP 19" rack for $280.00
The lesson: buy low, sell high.
Well, according to the article: the least amount.
It's always about the dick for guys, isn't it.
Neither do I.

Plus, of course:
Not in Australia. Why? I'm glad you asked: It's because our money is made from plastic.
It'd be pretty difficult considering the comment was in the public domain. Besides, you talk like there is something wrong with a good flogging.
No doubt you've listened to locally produced music. I don't think the question is whether you've been ripped off so much as why are you being punished?
And if it's foreigners, why should I care?
I hope that Santa brought you a lump of coal.

I pay for my internet access, not for the privilege of being bombarded by US-centric advertising shite.
God, we've managed to get rid of smallpox, can advertising executives really be that much harder?

Now, if we're talking hardcore gay bondage ...
