I see what you did there - completely avoided the point. Try to pull your "I'll pick it up" shtick with Amazon, it won't work. They don't combine shipping, either.
So, Apple's donating stuff which costs them money to make (hardware). O'Reilly is giving stuff which doesn't cost them much, if anything (incremental cost). Kudos for that freebie, but Microsoft and Autodesk are likely making a profit with a "discount" on things with virtually no incremental cost. They probably consider it like advertising - they expect to make even more from future sales. Sprint and ATT are somewhere in between.
"So you deposit $1000 in your account on Monday and write a check for $1000 on Wednesday, you'll get clobbered by overdraft fees because the Bank doesn't credit deposits to your account for 3 days "
It's not university sponsored, it's simply being held in a university facility. Not really any different than allowing political groups to meet, or some student group to show films. It doesn't mean the university endorses the content.
"MSU is a state university, but UMich is a public university"
Huh? They're both publicly funded, state universities. You seem to be trying to draw a distinction which doesn't exist. There are number of other state universities in Michigan, too.
And, despite what it's called, the only commonality is carbonation. So, if CO2 in your drinks is causal, then the same issue should apply for beer, Champagne, sparkling wines, sparkling waters, etc., too.
Calling flow throttling "QoS" doesn't make it QoS, it just displays ignorance. And rate-limiting certain flows is a piss-poor way of ensuring bandwidth for others in comparison to real QoS. It does nothing to improve latency or jitter.
Nothing you do locally prioritizes incoming traffic across the Internet. For that matter, for most (all?) ISPs, your markings won't be honored on outbound, either. The most you can do locally is control which packets are sent out first when there's contention. You only control the single hop in your toy router. There simply is no QoS through the Internet.
But then, you obviously didn't know that, given your basic misunderstanding of how QoS actually works.

How about a legitimate offer - Playstation for $1, with $499 shipping?
If you think you'll come out ahead by suing for $100, you're sadly mistaken.
They hired the marketing VP from RealDoll.
"Jitter doesn't really matter for video or voice either, other than increasing the buffer time. "
Which is to say it (and latency) matters a great deal for interactive video and voice.
So, does a vacuum power amplifier make things suck more?
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all...
From the article: "Every effort we made in this investigation had the goal of..."
Their whole rationale is nothing more than "the end justifies the means."
Alto (and Star) did rectangular (circular? oval?) regions. Atkinson figured out how to do regions made of irregular shapes.
This is a dupe.
You forgot the free Internet and free beer!
"There is nothing routine about rocketry so just shut up please. thanks."
Some would disagree.

Not in the US. Here, in most cases, it's $200 the next business day, and the balance the day after that (up to $5K).

You're confusing MSU with UM.
Do you often confuse the present with the future?
Google should fix things that are borken before breaking new things.
I just knew there was a reason for tattoos other than self-mutilation.

YHBT. YHL. HAND.
You really don't have a clue how real QoS works.
