Well, I know that for one, I am a BSG fan. I am not afraid to say so. I could not care less about the cam. The bad acting is actually good acting when you compare it to other crap on TV. The plot, even if a little predictable is FUN in my opinion. I find that people keep forgetting that TV shows are for entertainment and not dissection of each little flaw.
If I have choice between that and the *reality* shows, such as the Osbourns, The Bachelor or the likes, that seem to be so popular on TV, I will watch BSG and it's reruns for the rest of my life without any qualms.
Call me ignorant, tasteless or plain stupid, but I find it is one of the better shows to play on TV in a long time.
I would rather be informed and it be a false alarm that not know at all and be caught with my pants down. VISA called me the other day, to check if I was responsible for a series of purchases in a few different countries in the past hour (which I was). I was very happy to see they checked up. While they do this for their protection, it is also my protection that is assured at the same time. So, if my personal information gets compromised due to a data breach, I better be informed as soon as they know, so I can take the necessary steps to protect myself, else if I track it down to them and their negligence , I guarantee you that a lawsuit will be following.
While I realize most./ers are smart enough to know this, not all online camera stores in NY and NJ will be guilty of this. I got mine from Cameta Camera 3 years ago (in NY) and I got it faster than expected, was in perfect working condition and they where even nice enough to mark my camera as a gift on the customs form. Now, I paid 700$ on this camera and never got a call to see if I wanted any extras. Next time I plan to change my digital camera, I will have no qualms about ordering from that specific online store. I guess my point is that not all online stores are out there to screw and scam you.
What is the validity of a EULA if it was accepted by someone who cannot enter legal contracts, such as a 6 year old kid who pops in one of these SONY CD into a computer? Surely a 6 year old kid cannot be expected to understand a 3,000 word EULA but can understand the word ACCEPT and click on it.
I don't think you got the point of the article. They vowed not to discriminate based on genetic testing. If the engineer can't add, he will never get his diploma in the 1st place.

wow, indeed... that will teach me to reply when I am lacking caffeine in my body. I bow to our new math check overlord! =D
Actually it would have been 610,000 shares for $50.63. 1 yen = 0.83 cents, which is 0.0083 dollars I just felt like ranting anyways.

That is exactly what I was thinking when I read this topic.
