You know, in most of the free world, people are not expected to pay for incoming texts at all, even on the lowest tier phone plans. People expect it to be common sense, even. Nobody would sign up for a plan that billed you on incoming, and even incoming phone calls are free on some cheap plans.
You guys are being gouged all right.
If this was true then SSDs are already condemned to failure. A more holistic approach is required in order to get people to want the thing in the first place. Which would then lead to more money for research. And then to faster access times, lower power levels and manufacturing costs.
A pity that Asus doesn't provide a lot of good support, especially for the Linux wireless drivers for the built-in aetheros device (fyi my experience was that WPA wasn't working) - afaik it's either community support or nothing. Which is strange since both the distro and the hardware specs are clearly not unknowns.

I've heard stories about RAID 5 and 6, that they provide protection if your drive goes bad, but a faulty controller will blow all your data away. However this has never happened within my workplace. Anyone care to share their experiences?
It is precisely the catastrophic, unforseeable events that are usually the grey areas in an insurance policy, whereas the the little things, they are comfortable with covering though. Funny, that. It's as though they are reluctant to take on the risk of paying for an expensive operation themselves, the same risk you're trying to pass onto them.
It's dual booting? You don't get both Vista and XP, by your definition you already have both Vista and XP (if you're on vista business, that is) What happens to your vista when you choose the XP option? Are you allowed to transfer it to another computer? Didn't think so. The 50 bucks is to pay for getting one image out and another image in, and is kinda overpriced seeing that you could easily do it yourself if they gave you XP restore CDs as well as Vista ones. (up to 5 cents extra!)
IMO it's not the crashing that's the problem with Vista, it's the _waiting_. I recently had to do a bunch of profile transfers in both Vista and XP environments (transitioning from workgroup to domain). On an XP machine it would take about 10 mins with an administrator login account. on Vista it would take upwards of an hour. Did I face any problems? Not particularly problems per se, just a whole. lot. of. waiting.
It has all the buttons in the right places and works exactly the same as it's "supposed to" work.
XP does not have all the buttons in the right places. Here's an example: Are you using the XP start menu or the classic start menu? Is your control panel in classic view? It's really mindnumbing to have to walk a person through phone support and keep on asking questions on what their setup looks like. Granted that on Vista it's worse, but on 2k it's at least more consistent between different installs.
Go look up the meaning of the tragedy of the commons. Specifically, although it would benefit the whole public to challenge the RIAA collectively, what you're going to end up with is a bunch of people who are intimidated into a settlement for that most selfish of purposes, self-preservation. You're not going to see everyone fight together, it's not in human nature.

A patented medical procedure? That you need to buy a license to practice? This seems to be a first for me. Used to be that all you needed was training and a license to practice general physiotherapy.
As far as I know, since it's not in the local news, nobody has even paid up yet. Things make the local news easily, all it takes is for someone to complain. And trust me when I say this, if someone can complain, someone _will_ complain. So lets see how this plays out before coming to any conclusions.
We learned it from the americans, when they used the threat of economic isolation and physical violence to enforce their rule of law on our territory via the means of free trade agreements. So we (meaning our elected government) sold out our sovereignty for a few more years of peace and prosperity. And the chance to bite back in the same way, using silly american laws against everyone else.
Sorry if this post seems a bit vitriolic, but sometimes I do wonder whose interests are being protected here. We even have a local chapter of the BSA here, doing the same ass-hattery as they do over there.
The irony is in people not realizing that the cause of the cancer is in the mirror, dude.
The next step is to get the judge to declare all decryption devices illegal. And then to make a press release stating that the judge is claiming you must turn in your DVD player because it contains illegal software or firmware within it.
Cut him a break? He took a working formula and changed it. He made Han who shoot in retaliation. It's one thing to make winning formula, and another thing to make a winning formula into a losing one. Like killing the goose that lays the golden egg, even.
That's what I'm interested in. I can imagine a completely configurable keyboard, all the better to play games in. And when you need the extra screen space, you can make it go away. I've never seen anyone try to implement this on a keyboard and still expect to touch-type with it though, but I'm hoping that it's going to be a standard feature on new notebooks.
There's a problem with your time scale there, buddy. You're trying to piece together events that happened across over 10 years as a natural consequence of a single management goal, when it is obvious that it really isn't. NBC puts content on iTunes, as it was at the time the only store around. Why would they wait a whole 9 months to transit from iTunes to the Zune store? how about the sales lost during that period of time?

You'd think that a flash crowd would be a good idea but most people don't look good naked...
Were there really minidisks in 1978?

Well that sure puts a new angle on the race to the lowest /. ID...
Who then is the authorizing party for any information? Sounds like kangaroo court justice to me.

I worry about their apple slices. They don't oxidize, what on earth do they put in them to prevent them from oxidizing?

Reading that article made me think. I believe that cluelessness is more tied to political control than to the internet btw.
Why compromise when you can have both?
Looks like the next service pack of Vista will ship with Bitlocker turned on by default
