support costs, you will have far fewer people calling in twice a month yelling for an hour because "you bastards sent me another virus!!!!!!!!"
by putting out a new line that is targetted towards the top % of computer literate they stand to make some serious bank as long as enough people buy these things.
more than half, probably far more than half, of support calls are due to user error, often stupid user error.
i think it's more likely to be people pissed that a show they listen to got canned for a bullshit reason. oh no shock jocks are being offensive run for the hills the world is ending.
binding arbitration clauses have no effect on criminal prosecutions, and it's unlikely that a judge will enforce the binding arbitration clause in a civil case since it's simply a consumer service. the customer has no reasonable expectation to be stuck in arbitration over a billing issue.
to opt out, call and ask to be transferred to billing. tell them you revoke authorization for recurring charges. if they continue billing you call Visa and they will take care of it.
because a huge number of screens also have speakers in them, and those speakers are used in place of a more expensive sound system.
if a sound system is used, it's still better to route the signal through the TV so you can control the volume with the same remote as the TV.
personally i would prefer a communication standard so the TV could tell the amp to lower or raise volume, and the sterio could send a menu interface to the TV for controls, but that will probably never happen since every manufacturere will want to do it "their" way.
Slashdot Mirror
actually it was invented by a republican senator bashing the idea
a republican lying, that's a new one.

it's actually their $950 laptop with a rebate down to $700 for the windows model.
they must be saving a LOT putting OSS on the machine.
it was 6 million Jews and 5-6 million non-Jews.(I don't have the ethnic breakdown jfgi if you want)
so, despite being a small minority in europe they made up over half those killed in Hitler's death camps.
good luck with that jack.
and by 'good luck' I mean, 'I hope you die in a fire'
that is a limitation of the signal source, not the monitor.
It isn't far outside the ability of the human eye. the human eye can see ~300k colors, while 18bit monitors only can show ~250k.
everyone who paid for a 24bit monitor was harmed because they were defrauded.
so it's the lawyers fault Apple doesn't know the difference between a quarter million and "millions"
no, a CRT uses variable intensity for each of the three colors, and each pixel can be one of ~infinite colors on an analog display
well, i see a company doing the wrong thing and being called out for it, all without government interferance.
save the political BS for something relevant.
got any facts to back that up? links to freerepublic don't count.
so now instead of a few people reading about a company switching to asterisk, all of slashdot reads about how Nortel are a bunch of dicks.
nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan.
one time pads generating using radioactive decay.
4 times as likely is meaningless, the likely hood of any particular person being a molester is very low, so 4 times very low is still very low.
the important statistic is how likely any given sex offender is to do it again. that likelyhood is 2.5%
bad idea, you'll end up with fewer living child victims and more dead ones.
Microsoft: O.K.

O&A are retarded, but at least they are retarded in different ways each time.

by coding for cross platform they also insulate themselves from windows API changes, and allow compiling for mac OSX, and possibly for consoles.
Epic puts out linux versions of unreal tournament and that doesn't lose them any money.

Zionists invented terrorism for fucks sake. actually it was the French
yes, I would consider greenpeace to be legitimate activists.
I would also consider them to be fuckwits, but that's not neither here nor there
obviously if it's traceable it would cost you money.
the point is there are plenty of open proxies and unattended mailboxes for a prankster to use
