Comcast wanted to triple the rate to go from minimal analog to the equivalent digital offering. We said, "No thanks," and disconnected completely. Even my ten-year-old son was on board with the decision.
We watch a few shows on Hulu, get movies from the local library, and don't miss standard television at all. Much much better.
Real women? Perhaps most women like that sort of thing, but that doesn't make them any more real. There are plenty of individual women who have other tastes. And I'll guess there are many readers of Slashdot who are interested in such women.
You can't conceivably talk to all of the 10,000s of stupid businesses/hospitals/agencies who accept SSNs as ID and thus facilitate fraudulent use of your SSN...
No, but most places do not verify your SSN. Unless they have a legal need for my actual number (banks, brokers, &c.), I give them an alternate number. It's in the form of an SSN, and it can be derived from my real one by a s00per-s3kr1t algorithm, so it's easy for me to recall and recognize.
Nope. From the LAN side, only the LAN address works. From the WAN side, only the WAN address works, and then only if the router is set up to expose the management GUI to the outside. That requires changing the default settings, and an extra helping of dumb.
That's what I hear Apple is doing. If that's the case, I find it reprehensible too.
What you heard does not conform to the facts.
Anybody with $100 can get the iPhone SDK, create whatever application s/he pleases, and install it on as many iPhones and iPod Touches as s/he has access to. Whatever application.
What s/he can't do is to get Apple to distribute it in their store. For that, s/he has to follow Apple's guidelines.
My favorite experience of this sort was when the Home Depot cashier tried to sell me an extended waranty on a sump pump. I had selected the particular model because it came with a life-time guarantee, and said so in very large print, right on the box.
But you don't speak about the abyss of drug addiction, the income-sapping expense, the parents of kids that forget parenting while doing drugs, the accidents on the freeway, the madness of things like meth addiction and its incredible debilitating affects on the body.
And these things don't happen now, because of the War on (Some) Drugs?
At least one of the reasons for repealing this prohibition is that it is ineffectual. Drugs are as prevalent as they would be without it. There's just more crime and corruption to go along with them.
In the Apple ads, the actors portrayed the computers, not their users. It wasn't saying that PC users are overweight, balding old farts in suits, but that PC's themselves are that boring.
I use a Mac (as well as a Windows box), but I would no sooner say, "I'm a Mac" than I would, "I'm a Pepper."

Are Googlers Too Smart For Their Own Good?
No.
I've had a Dashboard widget that does exactly this.
Life imitates Apple.

Nobody's complained yet. Works surprisingly well.
I think the great majority of musicians are right there with you. It's the "music industry" executives who expect a free ride.
If their sales are down by half, they've already been decimated five times over.
Actually, if sales had been decimated once, they would be at 90% of their previous level. Twice, they'd be at 81%. Five times, at 59.049%.
To get to 50%, they'd have to have been decimated approximately 6.578 times.
Pedantic even longer.
Not even close to Gen Y, or even X. I rarely write in cursive (as my penpersonship has always sucked), and I'm 55.
On both of mine, a quick test refutes this. No access to the WAN address from the LAN.
Nope. From the LAN side, only the LAN address works. From the WAN side, only the WAN address works, and then only if the router is set up to expose the management GUI to the outside. That requires changing the default settings, and an extra helping of dumb.
Alaska's fucked.

Still reprehensible?
Check-out time is, uh....
Hey, I just noticed this article is about Office Depot, not Home Depot.
Never mind.
My favorite experience of this sort was when the Home Depot cashier tried to sell me an extended waranty on a sump pump. I had selected the particular model because it came with a life-time guarantee, and said so in very large print, right on the box.
That must have been some extended warranty.
Holy Bokonon! It's the end of the world!
This is, by far, the best beta operating system the software giant has ever released.
Is that the best that can be said about it?
And that's why Apple is doing so well. Oh, wait...

...the maximal Cauchy development of generic compact or asymptotically flat initial data is locally inextendible as a regular Lorentzian manifold.
Right?
And of course, the previous poster was referring to you personally.
Why not? Everybody else does.
