How is this different from OIRB suing me when I delete one of their spams? SpamCop is selling a service that deletes it for me so I don't have to deal with it.
This is what I've been waiting for! Perfect cell phone reception at home with VoIP, plus the ability to pick up my phone and leave home without worrying if someone will miss me by calling at home. Excellent.
My iPod is durable. I've dropped it six feet onto concrete without it skipping, and it's been working fine ever since. I routinely throw it around and it still works like new.
My iPod is fast. 400Mbits per second to sync it over Firewire. First sync took 15 minutes. The following ones only take a few seconds. And it charges through the bus, meaning I don't have to fiddle with extra cords, making it more efficient to operate.
My iPod is intuitive. My grandfather, who has never used a computer in his life, managed to figure out how to get to and play Brick in minutes. The acceleration of the scroll wheel is so easy I can almost do it blindfolded.
And my iPod has given me more: I have my contacts with me at all times, I can make playlists on the fly, I can kill time by reading text files or playing games. Heck, I've even used it as a flashlight when I had to.
In short, you're a troll who doesn't 'get it.' I'm offering my views and you say it's marketing phraseology.
Here's some phrases for you: Go back to your parents basement. I'm suprised you're not sunburned already.
Actually, I bought an iPod because it was seemless. How do you get music into the Sony? Is it as easy as plugging it in and it downloading all your songs and your contacts and your calendars? Does it charge itself through the bus, or do you have to plug something else in? And what's with all the buttons? If I want an MP3 player, I don't want buttons; I want something that's durable, fast, and intuitive. And the iPod gave me that and more.
Or MS Office. Or Nisus Writer. Or Macromedia Studio MX, or UT2k4, or these or these or some of these. Oh, and don't forget about Fink. 3dpong rocks when it's hardware rendered.
My mother-in-law is convinced that the rovers will find evidence of an ancient civilization on Mars that destroyed themselves by over-industrialization. She says it with a straight face, and I have a hard time keeping one.
Believe me, I've tried to correct her, but she's clinging to this dream.
Of course, then there's my grandfather who thinks that Venus is actually a chunk of another planet that existed between Mars and Jupiter. It was in some book he read, so it must be true!
I'm going to be picking up a camera phone w/ bluetooth in about two weeks, and I'm really excited about being able to use it with my Powerbook. However, I would like a little Bluetooth webcam (that's teeny) that could do the same thing.
I have 90 billion bytes on my desktop (accessible via ssh from anywhere), 80 billion on my laptop, ten billion on my iPod, and three billion my web host, not to mention 448 million on my digicam. And I have webmail on my web host, and soon several million on my cell phone, which also allows me to access my desktop and web host from my laptop anywhere. That's 183,448 billion bytes of storage, 173 billion of which I can take with me almost anywhere. I don't need Gmail.
Same thing here. I erased the localizations for Mac OS X and freed up 451MB of space but I kept the Asian font sets, so pages render correctly. I hate rectangles.
I have the unfortunate ability to see both sides of an issue, leading to me losing every argument I've ever been in. So here's my take.
All of my transactions on eBay have been efficient and hassle free, even when buying big-ticket items (like a trombone). My dad, however, got burned once and will never use eBay again. So it is in eBay's best interest to make sure that sellers' and buyers' disputes are resolved amicably. And I can't see why they haven't been involved because they (and PayPal) have records of the transactions.
However, I can see that eBay is merely a vector for the transactions, and that they don't have any fault in letting asshats get money out of unsuspecting people. And eBay, being a publicly traded company, has an obligation to its investors to make as much money as possible. Enforcement or arbitration would seriously eat into profits
So a risk/benefit analysis is in order; see if it's more profitable to create a safe environment for both buyers and sellers, or to ignore it and avoid the cost of that service. Or wait for it to get so bad that the government regulates it and everyone ends up paying for their laziness and greed, like a lot of companies.
I'd like a teeny camera like that with bluetooth so that I can take a picture with it and then send it using email on my phone (which is also used as a wireless modem with my laptop).
Frontline had a story recently about "cyber war" and how terrorists are attacking the US. All I could think through the whole thing is "It's not terrorists, it's script kiddies." It appears I was right.
My favorite part was when the 1337 dude they interviewed (complete with silouette and altered voice) said that it only takes 2 minutes to hack a Windows SCADA.

A Starbucks on every block?!? Harrisburg, PA just got their very first Starbucks. It's like Borneo over here, I swear.

What's wrong with that. I fling poo at the torture device in my cubicle daily.

The cube also flopped because it cost $1700 without a monitor.

You are correct sir! I do not have a .Mac account and have gotten several songs off of iTMS during the Pepsi thing.

It's Mac Compatible.PDF, sorry. (Unfortunately, there is a step 3.)

Not bad for the platform designed to actually get work done!

Because everyone knows that a fantastically advanced species capable of destroying whole cities uses Mac OS 8. Duh.
That picture made me cry...

Now THAT'S amazing. If IBM made something even they could use they'd corner the market.
I have to use a PC at work, you insensitive clod!

I hope it works better under load than their server!
