This is utter nonsense,
"My company gets all the Microsoft development tools for free. Customers love the price, but then later realize that they must buy a server to run in on, a copy of Windows, a server to run SQL on, a copy of Microsoft SQL Server, licenses, licenses to allow 'anonymous' internet connections, copies of Microsoft Office 2007 to be able to read the reports it spits out in Word 2007 format, etc......and the price balloons by thousands of dollars.
Yeah, your doing real justice with your customer's.
This is another M$ proprietary thing.
And then you have the gall to mention Unix.
Absolutely there is something special about books. Every sci-fi movie or series I have ever watched made me seek out the book to fill in the details. Every game or other physical techy subject has always brought me back to the written word, after all don't most things originate with writing whether it be in a spiral notebook or on the back of a napkin?
Sulfur is a relatively cheap material, so lithium-sulfur batteries have the potential to be less expensive than other battery types. With a lower starting cost to manufacturers, lithium-sulfur batteries could save consumers money. There is also a possible cost savings because lithium-sulfur batteries tend to provide much longer charges than lithium ion batteries. With double the lifetime or greater, you might be able to get by with a single lithium-sulfur battery for your laptop or rechargeable hand tool. Another reported advantage of lithium-sulfur batteries is their ability to work well in very cold weather. www.wisegeek.com
I have always found it odd that through out our mortal life we continually leave behind residue that is flushed, exfoliated, sloughed and sweated off, laundered away down the drain, never to be seen again, that's the POINT. Then after we have expired, suddenly our remains are rendered holy and we go to great lengths to bring them to a meaningful place and scatter them just so. I know this all has to do with various religious beliefs, its just strange.

What are you talking about? In the US, cellular users pay for both incoming AND outgoing calls/messages/whatever.
Wrong. US Cellular does not charge for incoming cell calls.
