Google is quite good with this in how environmentally friendly it is. However company(s) in Australia not that long ago would pay for taxis to and from work that would go directly to your house. They were just normal taxis that were free for you. I don't know how wide-spread this practice was, I imagine it wasn't too widespread, but I do know of at least one Australian company that did it. So while its good that Google does it nowadays (as I believe the company has since stopped), its a shame services like this are unusual rather then the norm.
Companies and humans only have finite money but do have needs of certain services. If they cease spending money on SCO to get those services, they're going to have to either do without that service, at which point they'll have more disposable money to spend on other things, such as on other IBM services or products, or they'll go to a competitor, possibly IBM in this case.
So yes while technically it might be about making profits for yourself, it isn't regardless of how the other people are doing, as if the other people were doing worse, you might be making more profits.
Oh if that's how the RIAA (and I imagine MPAA) worked getting sued them would be a hardship rather then simply ridiculous. No, the MPAA has to pay 100 million dollars for every page they have that lacks the link (so if they've made 10 blog posts, that's at least 10 pages).
An equally valid conclusion is normal potatoes are harmful to living beings, be they animals or humans. As a human who has eaten potatoes all his life, I'm questioning this study.
I have difficulty in accepting test results where normal potatoes harm a mice's internal organs and they're using that study to draw any conclusions on GM-potatoes.
May I suggest a roleplaying game like ArmageddonMUD? You'll be trading in the boring pizza errands and graphics true for roleplaying with politics, backstabbing and fun. If you want to do coded things then yes, there is some grinding involved. However to do the "grind"ing you have to have In Character reasons to do it, so its realistic grinding, not mindless grinding. The real part that Armageddon shines is through the roleplaying, not the grinding. You can ignore the grinding if you choose the correct role (such as an aide) and just concentrate on the roleplaying if you like.
I'd disagree that they're a "waste of time" unless of course you consider producing art to be a waste of time. I say that because true multiplayer roleplaying games (not final fantasy, not World of Warcraft) are akin to performance pieces. The spectators just also happen to be the participants. But its every bit a performance piece as a play.
For example, if some shite cashier decides to knock 10% off all the merchandise without permission, does that make it alright to purchase?
Answer: no. It's theft and you're buying stolen property. So should the company then go and charge your credit card without permission? No, it's theft.
In this case, Amazon advertised one price, and through their error billed the wrong amount. Doesn't mean you're off the hook. What if it were reversed and they charged too much? Would that then be ok because you "ok'ed" the transaction without looking? Oh not agreeing to pay the correct amount is an extremely shitty thing to do, but two rights don't make a wrong. What if I were to somehow just take the money from Amazon without Amazon's permission? I'm sure they wouldn't like that.
Don't want Hillary to be the Democratic candidate? Vote in the Democratic Primary in 2008 [wikipedia.org] (state-specific details on the wiki). I would but I couldn't find New South Wales details in there;)
I (a theoretical I anyway) paid the price on the invoice. I agreed to it. If Amazon is well known for having such problems they should go to a bit more effort to avoid them. Charging my credit card without my permission is not the correct solution.
The correct solution (IMO) would be to e-mail people and say "we goofed, could you please go to this form and give us permission to charge you" and bite the loss they make (price of making such serious fuck ups). Or an alternate moral solution would be to ban the account and the credit card internally and refuse to do business with that person.
But charging people's credit cards after the fact without permission, that doesn't seem like a moral solution to me.
No need to tell banks, the ATM can tell when its made a mistake and who it gave the money (don't ask me how, but I do know this has happened to my parents who did return it and got told about it).
So obviously poor people with kids shouldn't be given anything to they can starve and die and we can do something about the earth's overpopulation problem.

Sure, once Microsoft stops pumping money into SCO.
We can't answer yes, no or maybe as no question was asked in the title.
How about a dead whore?

You don't need to prove it works better then traditional advertising, only that it does work.
You mean like the Open Document Format?
Its got less letters he has to type. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually "0 g" he typed.

Thank god ToSes aren't enforceable a lot of the time.
I'd like to see neither hung. However while the MPAA continues to try to sue people, then I'll support them getting hung.

The testing sounds like they're going to be doing it in the wild in select areas. If its dangerous, probably want more controlled tests.

Will you play 6 10 hour games? If so, why not simply spend that time on 1 60 hour game? Don't you get the same thing from it?

I'm damn glad I don't have to put up with similar shit in games I choose to play

I see absolutely no difference.
