If TB can really do 10Gb a second, that about 1.25 GB a second. I don't know of many hard drives that can write data that fast. If they can (pretend) then I can dupe my 500 GB of music in 4,000 seconds, just over an hour. So, my neighbour comes by with a bottle of wine, I click on "My Music" drag it to her drive and we drink the wine and right around the time I'm fucking her silly on the couch, the music has finished copying, and later, she leaves with 47,890 songs. Next week, I have the girl who lives around the block do the same thing. I get drunk, I get laid, they get more music than they will probably have time to listen to, so, what's not to love? What did I pay? Whatever the cost of rubbers was that afternoon...
Over several days, make sure that the message gets out that when the perp is finally caught (And he or she will be caught) they will be killed. Slowly. In public. Their skin will be shaved off, and they will be tossed in a pit where people will pee on them. Sea water will be dumped in and sharks will be added. Problem solved.
Then, once the perp is caught, shave their skin off and toss him or her in a pit for people to pee on them. Then toss in sea water and add sharks.
If you can fish his or her head out before the sharks eat it, put it on a stick in the main square.
1. Best Buy will be out of business in the next 18 months, so who the fuck cares.
2. I think the policy is stupid because it shows that people aren't even smart enough to fuck the thing up before they return it. These gizmos have air slots in them. Take a lamp plug/wire. Cut it off the lamp, and strip the rubber off an inch of the wire. Plug the plug in and stick the wire in the back. Fish around until you hear things go ZAP SNAP ZIBBER SCUBBLE ZAT! and some smoke emits and you smell ozone. Then unplug the wire from the wall. Plug appliance in to see if it works. It probably won't. Return item. Tell them, "hey - I was watching Wheel of Fortune when it suddenly went ZAP SNAP ZIBBER SCUBBLE ZAT! Then it died. I want my money back. You people suck." You never broke the seal, it's not been visibly tampered with from the outside, but it clearly doesn't work, so as far as they know, it "just fried up".
Seriously people, if you're gonna fuck with these corporations, you gotta put at least a LITTLE effort into your fuckery. Fuckerators.
Next week, gluing bricks to free return postage from junk mail. Papa was a running dog lackey for the bourgeoisie! The bourgeoisie's a buncha jive suckaz!
only Biggerer and run by religious whackjobs. I don't see the problem here. Except for the religious whackjobs part. And the AOL part. And the 1991 thing.
No, they want a world that isn't this neoliberal war-mongering kleptocracy cooked up by BushCo and cheerfully continued by the Obama Admin. You know -a world where there's a sense of common decency and a vibrant social contract between people, and not this dog-eat-dog psychopathic me-first Randian horsecrap we've been force fed since Reagan.
The Chinese block shit for the sole rational purpose of absolute POWER. The Indians will block shit because of some delusional religious bullshit. Which is why China will win.
Come to my house. Bring a few bottles of wine and a blank hard drive. You will leave with more music than you can listen to in decades. Heck - a decent sized thumb drive can provide months of musical amusement. Online is dead. Offline is the future. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with terabyte hard drives...
As a professor, I HATE blackboard. I use it to enter grades and post basic texts, and that's it. For every other use, it is absolutely awful. Example: I have a directory of files I want my students to have. I should be able to upload the directory itself, like every other ftp app has been able to do since the 1980s. But Blackboard? Nooooo. I have to create a directory, name it and check its attributes, and then set it into the Blackboard system, and then load each file to it individually. Or, I have to go and zip the files together, which assumes my students have unzipping software and that I have the time to zip the stuff up (As if I don't already have enough to keep me busy with bullshit).
When I enter grades, out of 200+ students, at least one or two grades somehow get "undone".
Its ugly, its clunky and completely retarded. I'm sure you are a nice guy, but I want your company to go out of business. Now.
Yeah - no shit. My suspicion is that the average Joe Pukebucket ain't gonna see this - the military will be all over it like a cheap suit. It'll become part of some kind of "Fry the skin off of brown children in Asia from the comfort of an air conditioned office in Crystal City VA" type of weapon.
but since the market isn't rational, it makes perfect sense. We're not dealing with rational abstract entities operating in some clear frictionless metaphysical space. We are dealing with thugs and gangsters seeking advantage over each other. If something works for a short sighted but politically expedient goal, then it's golden, and classical economics can go fuck itself. And while that may seem harsh, it has actually always been true. When times are good, the man behind the curtain is invisible, but times get rough, the curtains come down and the guns come out and the real becomes material in practice.
They just can't extract it as cheaply as having some poor broke ass Chinese peasant dig the crap out for a dollar a day. This is just another example, and a pretty transparent one, of how neoliberal capitalism works. Pathetic.

You will never have this problem again.

considering they have Nosferatu on guitar, I wouldn't be surprised...
It says the universe is precisely 13.75 billion years old, not 13.5 billion years old.

most of the titles rented by consumers would probably end up being stored in the cloud.
T,FTFY.
Fuck. You.
Because they will jack me up with all kinds of cool drugs and I will live FOREVER...
FUCK YOU.
Nothing. They're MACHINES people! They're JUST machines....
because bit.ly paid 'em off. I mean if you follow "who has the most to gain" theory of detective work type of thing...
