that's the point. they made so much money from 'tld application fees' and once approved, from co.'s buying variations that they figure they want more money now for their corporate holiday allowances.
when u do that, u should patent doing fake reviews.
also, patent doing fake reviews under many names, since after amazon's staff read this, they'll prolly wise up and generate random profiles for reviews...
Well, I hope they lose all their music. Then they can kick up a storm with their local pollies, get on the local news, and turn public opinion against DRM.
It's too hard to get a problem noticed by someone who has the skills to fix it.
Say I have a problem with feature X because of my condition Y. Unless I can find a developer with the condition Y, it's going to be marked WONTFIX or for future release v5.0 or whatnot.
There's no sense of responsibility there, cuz they're not paid. And because they're not paid, with any criticism, users are treated like ungrateful bastards who should shut up.
world's best browser? More like a good browser in a world of crappy browsers.
There are so many usability problems. Why don't many dialogs remember their size and positions? Why can't I answer Yes/No dialogs with the keyboard, but have to reach for my mouse? Think of the effort adding an extra & to markers...
Too bad OS developers are too cool for fixing small things like this. That's the problem. When there are so many developers, everyone thinks someone else will get around to doing it. Plus nobody can force you to fix things if you don't feel like it.
Until these and many other problems are solved, the average user isn't going to care about security flaws. If they did IE wouldn't have 90% of the market, would they?
Why don't they just put a bloody unix command line into windows?
Solve a lotta probs.
1)normal ppl dunno how to use DOS nowadays anyway 2)ppl using DOS prolly use unix too 3)it sux to try to remember diff sets of commands 4)ppl will stop complaining how crap DOS is compared to unix
Hmm.. Nation that doesn't produce software, nation that can buy CDs for $5 instead of importing the same thing from the US for $1000. How is this disastrous to their nation in the long run?
Don't you know it's not even illegal in some countries? Is a kid in China earning $100/mth going to learn Oracle by using 3yrs of savings? I don't think so.
Being able to burn all those formats is great, but who really needs it?
You may need to READ all the formats from different sources, but unless you're going to know exactly what your receipients use, you'll prolly just end up burning to CDR.

we blew the moon up 30yrs ago accidentally. what's up there now is just a large plastic model we put there so nobody would find out.
Problem is, joe blow sees something published by a 'respectable' company like amazon, they treat it like a catalog from their local department store.
well, lets hope the public doesn't need to be caught out 2 many times to learn to think carefully.
Actually, no it doesn't. And that's the sad thing...

Having no password is just asking for trouble.
Instead, just make every password the same, and make sure it's printed on posters all around you workplace!
Well, I hope they lose all their music. Then they can kick up a storm with their local pollies, get on the local news, and turn public opinion against DRM.
I read an article with what I'd call an identical idea in some magazine like New Scientist or sth...
IN 1994 or 95!
Nobody's implemented it in these years, I'm not holding my breath for IBM.
Now, when they complete phase 2 of the operation (covering all surfaces with Nerf(TM) foam), We can all go live there in paradise.
How do you actually calculate PI?
I thot it was an irrational number, that could not be represented fully in any form. Thus you wouldn't be able to 'calculate' it?
Or, don't tell me they drew a really good circle and got to measuring it's circumference etc.....
I'm sure someone here must know how it's done.?
Terrorists use a knife to commandeer a plane.
How is detecting radiation in the subway going to do anything?
Why is it whenever a disaster happens, the 'precautions' ppl take have nothing to do with the original incident?
Anyway, I thot the most likely type of attack on a subway would be a normal bomb (non-nuclear), or biological...
That's the problem

Oh, they'll prolly sell it to you.
You just won't be allowed to use it...
In the EULA:
You can agree to this EULA and exit the installation, or if you decline, the installation will exit.
Wouldn't that be fun.

Who has the bigger lawyer?
Why don't we all just buy a $10 radio and put it under the billboard?
OK, lets have a roster for replacing the batteries every few days...
Mod chips to play /imported/ games
So think:
If we prefer to import games, wtf stops us from importing the freaking XBox? Hell, we'll even import the mod chips.
So there!

US law != world law
Well, so they destroy their next gen talent.
This means they don't have anyone good to hire, not that they'll pay the same $ to hire crap talent. Great excuse for them to pay less even.
Doesn't hurt their bottom line one bit.
What makes you think a central server cannot be hacked? The same thing that makes a central server hackproof can prolly make the card hackproof too.
Anyway, the way things have gone in the past any and all systems will prolly be implemented with security flaws for a few years.
Or maybe they just made it less consistent?
Computerized random searches.... Aah money put to good use.

Are you suggesting, that as Mozilla is open source, that users have no right to complain about major issues such as this?
Hrm. Doesn't anyone proofread what they post? I just got stunned for a few seconds wondering why you were telling me what someone was NOT doing
