if something goes wrong, you can't sue! How am I going to make my millions if I can't sue anyone? I can just see it now... "Hello? Larry Parker? Yeah, it was a doctor in India!"...click
How will this affect using the extended warranty to get a good discount, then calling back within the next few days to say you don't want the extended warranty any longer? I know with CC, you just have to tell the sales rep that you will buy the extended warranty if he marks the price down by x percent, then call the corporate office within the next few days and say you didn't know what you were getting yourself into -- or that you were told by the sales rep that you have 30 days to change your mind on the extended warranty.
Wouldn't it be sad if our first received inter-galactic message was, "Oh! You're the planet that makes those shiny AOL CD's! -- stop sending them to us!"
When I went for the initial consult, they said that you have to have a stable prescription. Since my prescription changes about -0.25 per year, they said in 2-3 years I would need to wear glasses again.
I don't think you can have lasik more than once. Does anyone know for sure?
Cool... With one of these new quantum computers, I should be able to meet the minimum requirements for Doom 4! Now if only I could get my quantum video card to work...
You think the initial cost of the laptop computer is expensive? Wait until the school gets the bill from the RCIAA from the music downloading that these kids will do with their nice new *cough* e-books!
And then there are those who will just give up their passwords or other personal information if someone just plainly asks (without reward). Look at all of the SPAM e-mail's and web sites that portray to be a legitimate company asking for a user's account id and password under the disguise of some sort of account update or maintenance. They may or may not look authentic to the average Joe computer user, but from what I have read, even though these sites and e-mails are usually only up for a short time, they are fairly successful at obtaining information.
What about advertising?
Now that every other commercial on TV seems to be a car commercial, I'm sure that all of those 30 second spots on [insert favorite prime time show here] must really be adding up. Obviously, that cost will be tacked into the overall price of your new car (not to mention the added costs to offset those nice but necessary $3000 manufacturer's rebates). Personally, I think the main reason for the larger-than-normal increase in the price of new cars recently is also based heavily on these two factors.

So does this mean that the whole damn Internet will be down now -- as it gets slashdoted?

I used to get e-mail messages like this a few years ago -- something about shutting down the Internet so they could clean up old files!

Can't they just deduct the $40K from the $9 Million US the other guys have secured in a bank account from my (previously unknown) relavatives?
So what happens when we later get the even newer telescopes that can do 14.0 or 14.1? Will we see what was here before the creation of the universe?

How about using ALT/Num Keys combinations for extended ASCII characters? For example, ALT+241 gives you a ± character.
