    > SHIPPING IS $12 FOR SOMETHING THAT WEIGHS 1 POUND

    That's small change. Try $134.97 to ship a Golf Pouch which costs less than $20 to Singapore.

    Those who think Bloomberg is right, will mostly be business owners. Not managers, owners. Those who think Bloomberg is wrong, are /. regulars.

    AFAIK if you are caught with some, you will be charged in court and possess a criminal record.

    You'd be wrong. It is not illegal to possess chewing gum. FUD rules huh?

    Ah, but some of us want more than 100 songs to choose from, or even better our entire music collection on hand.

    Personally I like the idea of not having to swap music in and out of my mp3 player all the time.

  11. Re:"Essentially" the same data? on OpenOffice Bloated? · · Score: 1

    >they've just gotten better at hiding the fact that you need to load the entire office suite to load one application.

    And I thought MS has the monopoly on doing things the dumb way. Why don't we call it as we see it? Loading the entire suite just cause I need to use Calc is pretty darn stupid.

    On another note, OO 2.0 is bug-ridden. Had to return to 1.1.x after 10 minutes of using Calc because of multiple bugs (user problem). The main gripe(amongst other bugs) is this - Try cutting a small block of text in Calc 2.0 and see how long it takes, on my rig it takes 3-5 secs. Surely its not ready for prime time?

  12. Yeah...what losers them police are on Scottish Police Revert to Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    They should spend all their time with instructions like

    >I don't see how what he did affects you at all.

    If we can both agree that what he did had zero monetary impact on the retailer in question then I'll agree that what he did will not/did not affect other consumers.

    I believe "renting" results in higher prices for the rest of us.
