We're used to washing things like dishcloth/teatowels regularly, what's so hard about washing linen shopping bags? It annoys me a bit, I used to use the disposable shopping bags for rubbish, now I buy 'dedicated' rubbish bags that are made from heavier, less degradable plastic. Talk about the law of unforeseen consequences!
What, the clutch wasn't working (manual) or the transmission wouldn't goto neutral? Admittedly, you'd smoke the engine, but better the engine than yourself.
Although the defining thing about Ponzi schemes is that they do collapse in the end. I guess your point here is that we just haven't yet witnessed that end for the Social Security scheme.

The article is about Mircrosoft's Surface tablet which is marketed at 64GB but is delivered with 60GiB and confusing (and angering) customers. Not sure if maybe the link was added after you read the summary? The article is datelined this past Saturday.

What I find surprising is that surface *has* customers.
Alternatively, you could cold-call people at dinnertime, pretend to be from Microsoft, and tell them there's something wrong with their computer. No-one would *ever* have done that before.
It's not a question of the *burden* of 3/4 mouse clicks, it's leaving oneself open to being patent trolled for the process of making those clicks. Seriously, can we take that risk?
New, yes, custom yes, but I wonder about its cool factor. If you think you'd be able to make a case 1/10 as attractive as a Samsung Nexus (for instance) you'd be deluding yourself.

But it doesn't suggest how it should be sorted.
I'd call their, and your, bluff.

And sadly, after the recent incident in NY, they are likely to turn up armed. (I'm not saying that like its a bad thing, but sad that it's necessary)
After a few drings, reaching the bar is hard.

That would be pursue?

Inverted "when I was a kid, we had to .." arguments!
Why would you lookup an IP address with VB? :^)
I thought you'd slipped typing, and added a 5
It's as obtrusive as a sign that says "LAUGH NOW, PEOPLE" - if you have to be told it's funny, it isn't.
Speaking of which, does anyone watch the descriptors of the music on subtitle? I really suspect the subtitlers are Red Dwarf aficionados.
Man, you made me look up to see if I had mod points, even for an AC, worth a funny.
It might be easier to track RFID devices and cards that people carry, than phones with WIFI
You're right. It's high time we shut down this intolerant religion called Christianity.

Yes, but I wish it wasn't time to get over NetPositive
Yes, for differing values of 'before' - for instance around the time of the 6110 (1998 or so?) nothing else touched them.

But you did say oh wait
I'm thinking of games that don't require graphics, let alone 3d. Text! Infocom, that sort of thing.
Trolls helping trolls. Oh, the irony.
