Okay, so I get a $20 coupon. The 8600GT in my MacBook Pro failed this week in a way which is strongly consistent with the other reports.
The laptop is 3 months out of warranty so it's going to cost me around $1200 to get it fixed, when this appears to be a result of a manufacturing defect.
You desktop jockeys might just be able to slot in a new card and write it down to experience, but laptops are affected too. It appears my options are limited to:
Hoping Apple's "legendary" customer service comes through and they agree to repay the cost of replacing the motherboard, graphics chip and all
The west coast mainline upgrade in good old blighty has cost something like 20 billion dollars for less than 300 miles of track between London and Manchester:
It is no coincidence that Algebra comes from the "Al-jabr" the Arabic word for reunion, and Algorithm comes from al-Khwarizmi a Persian mathematician living in Baghdad(!).
Kind of makes TFA seem a bit patronising.

...and let me pick out the iPod as one, because it's the most current example, I guess. From the moment that device was introduced, it was obvious that there were very significant lawful commercial uses for it. And let me clarify something I think is unclear from the amicus briefs. The record companies, my clients, have said, for some time now, and it's been on their Website for some time now, that it's perfectly lawful to take a CD that you've purchased, upload it onto your computer, put it onto your iPod...
Funny how I can't find this on anyone's website anymore
Not just the platypus either, but other monotremes (literaly, one hole, I'll leave you to imagine the details) including the Echidna are strongly suspected of having electrosenory receptors.
Except they did actually release a bona fide product that you could take home, run games on, write games for, etc, etc, etc.
The last version released was £229 in the UK and had about 20 games when it launched alongside the DS last year. It made the N-Gage like mistake of including a telephone, although it didn't make you look like you been attacked by a frisbee wielding Ninja when you made a call.
Er... PowerBook 100, 140, 170, all the way up to the 540C used 68000 to 68040 processors and were called *POWER* even before the first PowerPC chips had been released.
You're absolutely right. I was just thinking this myself this morning while I ironed my NBC shirt on my armour plated heat seeking stealth ironing board.
"...which could help 20% of the world's population that doesn't have easy access to clean water."
This isn't a cheap mechanism for purifying drinking water. The ZeeWeed filters are used to further filter water with a low level of solid pollutants within an existing water purification plant. This isn't some magic method of providing unlimited clean water for the world's poor.
European released carts always have a language selector, which delays access to the game. I'm sure this is something to do with a laudable EU superstate free trade regulation from Brussels, but it certainly annoys the hell out of me.
I actually prefer US imports that are only in American English, I can put up with things being spelled the way they sound more easily than having to wait an extra few seconds for the game to start.
Also, I think that some publishers have been put off of releasing for the European market because of the cost involved in localising the cart for n different languages, rather than just changing Japanese for English, so there are some carts which I've imported because they weren't available. These games tend to be the better RPG/Turn based strategy games that I am particularly partial to.
Having said that, I would refuse to buy Pokemon Aluminium until it was fully localised.
I've played the French version, the Covenent invade earth and as Master Chief you have just 24 hours to surrender.
I think that if you play it on Elite you also have to try to stop other Master Chiefs from attacking the Covenent to secure lucrative oil export rights.

I second that, they host the website for my OS project very well http://jfin.org/ and are pretty good value for money.
So that's where I left my towel.

All this to achieve a speed of around 140mph. Does MagLev still look expensive?

And on ITV.
The more people who take that stance, the less attachments they'll receive.

Cost of making competitor to JBoss and launching it into the market > $400M
You can build and market a hell of a lot of software for that...

Maybe this is something else left behind in monotremes from an early link with sharks alongside laying eggs and looking ridiculous out of water.

You wash your jeans?
Nobody in the UK reads the Independent, but now everyone on /. does?
Weird.

And it's about time we started getting some of this global warming we've been promised for so long.
Just got to get a swimming pool and some high velocity lawn sprinklers now.

A slightly faster equivelent to TCP that I have to pay for and no-one else uses.
Sign me up for that sucker right now.

SQL is the worst language for accessing relational data, apart from all others that have been tried before.

I think that's a different Korea you're thinking about there hick boy.
Yeeha, dang them there forin'rrrs with them funny leaders and them kidernappin' ways.
I haven't watched any of the films, but I did find revolutions disapointing.
Networks need manuals? I thought you just had to make sure no-one knocked the patch cables out.
The leadline makes it sound like XP is more secure than OS X, and then you read down to find its more like that OS X isn't much more secure than XP.
Now if the comparison included the length of time that exploits were left unpatched we would get an entirely different picture...
