  1. Re:Well, if that's the way they want it on Airline Cancels All Flights Booked Through Third-Party Systems · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Ever thought what would happen if EVERYONE had that attitude about stupidity?

    Guess I'd have to visit 2 or 3 Web sites of the actual airlines rather than 2 or 3 aggregaters like Orbitz and Tavelocity or whatever. What's the difference?

    Well, if that's the way they want it, it's their airline. I don't have to fly it...

    When I buy a $19.95 cable off newegg, I can't afford to pay $45.00 for it locally.

    Why buy fixed length cat 5 at all when you can get 100 feet and a bunch of connectors for the same price and make your own? On the other hand there is this alternative:

    There are currently pay bonuses for airmen willing to volunteer a Creech assignment. Can't imagine why! Good grief, have a look at the place at Google, it's like a AOR deployment. But seriously, this nonsense sounds like a lot of whining from folks who have a chip because they don't get the glory of being in a fighter cockpit.

    Yeah, it's right after the Tankathlon where athletes navigate an obstacle/hurdle track while being chased by Type 59's.

    Was that in poor taste?

    I thought they added it as an Olympic sport this year?

    Viruses are not "transient parasitic cells." Also, using another entity's mechanisms to help one's own metabolism along is not synonymous with "making it sick." The Telegraph needs better science writers.

    Oh yeah. I'm masturbating right now thinking about my rock hard cock sliding in and out of some 12 year old Chinese gymnasts tight virgin pussy. I'll pull out just in time to blow my cum load all over her cute little face. After I'm done with her, I'll turn my attentions to her little brother.

    We have no bags at the supermarkets anymore, unless you buy them.

    In Seattle Washington, our City Counsel just voted a 20 cent per bag (paper or plastic) tax. Indeed, the city also outlawed the sale of water in plastic single-use bottles in or on all city owned property. I believe that more and more municipalities are headed this direction.

    But it's still an asinine patent that is a perfect example of one of the many problems with our patent system.

    What if he's got money? If I was rich I wouldn't hesitate two seconds on sicking my lawyer(s) on a BS ticket/fee/law that annoyed me.

    People say this sort of thing, but it's not really true. People with money did not accumulate it by spending 200$ - 300$ to get a 10$ refund check.

    It's quite easy to write a letter you know. In addition, applause rather than ridicule is what's deserved in this case. Don't be a hater.

    He said his lawyer would write it. So he's going to spend £100+ to address a £6 issue? And Apple will almost certainly simply ignore that letter, thus requiring further lawyer costs? No, I don't think so.

    Before all you Brits get bent out of shape about this, just take a deep breath and look at the facts: Your government does our bidding in many areas regardless of the value to your own nation. That and the fact that while the US is slowly becoming a Police State, the UK has been one for quite some time.

    I don't know what will happen to Apple after they abolish all their jobs.

    Several years back, Jobs had himself cloned. The clone replicant should be ready about the time Jobs is ready to push off. In fact there is no way of telling if what we see today is just the clone being controlled by The Real Steve Job.

    Jobs' vision for the company, and the computer industry as a whole is what sets Apple apart from other technology companies. I'm sure Jobs can be replaced, but what happens if the wrong person takes over his job and wants to turn the company into another Microsoft?

    Remember where John Scully took Apple? Without Jobs' return, Apple would be what HP/Compaq are today - shitty printer ink companies.

    Haven't you heard that pressure from businesses and consumers has forced Microsoft to alter their release schedule to prevent another Vista

    I don't buy it. There is no noticeable objection to Vista with the average consumer. I'm not talking about "knowledgeable" geeks, I'm talking about the other 95% of consumers, the ones who if they even know what Linux is, don't know that it has a desktop or email or "the Interweb".
