I will never shop at a store that has those cards.
Too bad for you, you could save some money and help your grocer better serve you while giving up no personal data at all. I use several of those cards, and "save" quite a bit over what you are likely paying, and not a single one has any real information about me in the profile connected to them. All they know is somebody in my area purchases certain products.
This type of information is of value to whatever store I shop at, and they do in fact compensate me with lower prices for using their card. I give up no personal data at all, and they get to learn what kinds of things their customers buy. It's a win-win situation.
Oh yeah, look to The Wall Street Journal to tell us the truth when it comes to Consumer rights, after all they the number one Consumer advocate (wink)...
Of course you're right. But you know, Microsoft and Oracle would never do something like that! I'll believe database benchmarks when Consumer Reports does 'em.
There's not enough information to speculate on what the problem could be. When you say blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...
Just stop! Please! First, it's a Gateway. Second, it's a Gateway. And anyway, the only real answer here is the second part of your suggestion, buy an UPS.
I do believe that TV has been associated with the pushing of commercial products since its start, yes? So, what's the problem? TV is not a "pure" art like the movies try to tell us they are. Come on people, it's TV for Christ's sake...
Game makers need to understand that they themselves are to blame for the impact of used games on their sales. It's the same situation as with music and film: Overpriced shitty product. Bottom line: They need to lower the prices.
It really doesn't matter what IT managers like after they have bought into Microsoft platform lock-in. If Microsoft says "migrate to VC#", they will migrate to VC# if they want any support (and they do, that's why they bought into Microsoft platform lock-in). Issue closed.
I'm tempted to say "This is news?". I mean, come on, it's Microsoft we're dealing with here. If they don't do something like this on purpose, they do by accident anyway. This should have been assumed as in "it's a feature", you know?
"...The OLPC project will need huge support from governments..."
So... It's not really going to be a $100 laptop. I mean, whan was the last time any goverment supported project came in on budget? It would be nice, bet real...
No, no it wouldn't. The object here it to make money, not please a group of people that while bitching to High Heaven about the prices of this or that consumer toy, will continue to fork over the cash-ola. Why the Hell would they lower the price? You on drugs?

Than why not spend you time at Digg?
Maybe, but I think the main thing that would make work more enjoyable is... MONEY. More money.

Now if we could get the sugar lobbies to allow the lowering of cane sugar import tariffs, we might see healthier food.
Seems to be. That describes a perception, which is opinion. In my opinion
The "sold out" desk and wall clocks are MUCH cooler.

Sorry...
Hey Zonk, you stupid cock-smoking tea-begging incest-loving momma's boi, learn to "edit". This story sucks.
Yeah, that's what all the Perl hackers said RIGHT BEFORE IT DIED...

Give it a few more weeks, it will.

Agreed. By the way, wish I could land a GS9 at Keesler...
I'm sorry, what?

Well. Yes. That's nice...
That and version numbering schemes...
