He could be choosing providers based on different combinations of bandwidth and space for the projects he's doing. Or they could have had special one-off pricing deals.
I guess that as none of my Windows machines are infested with spyware and viruses, and Microsoft doesn't ask me to activate anything, I've got no reason to change.
You forgot the rule about not being able to use any of your previous passwords, or to create new ones which contain previous ones.
And worse than that - I worked at a place where very secure (in terms of random character combination) passwords were automatically generated each month, but they were then left in an envelope on your desk...
I failed my UK driving test for driving too slowly; going with the flow of the traffic, as long as it's not too excessive, can be safer than going substantially below the limit.
I know the car analogy isn't supposed to make sense, and your comment was funny, but in this case it's true - when you install a new OS it's like buying a new car without an engine and having to use the one from your previous car. So yep, your Aston Martin really does have the engine of a Lada though.
"You and your piano are not a live act!"
Sure, they are useful tools, but standing behind a piano looks really stupid on stage. Dance. Sing. Play some other instrument as well. Anything. Just don't stand behind you piano looking like an idiot. If that's all your music is, press it to CD and give it to a DJ to play. That can be good too... but Live Music requires doing something Live that is visible to the audience!
Just as an example of "grade inflation" - I started a maths degree in '78 and I think most of the places I looked at only wanted a maths A-level of C or above, and another two of any grade in any subject.
There's some which have a dock connector wired straight into the audio, put your iPod into it and they're ready to play - when I was buying a new car last year I asked the salesman about them and he said not to bother, there was already a line-in and the difference in sound wasn't enough to make it worth paying for.
The only figure I've seen for the 'enhanced' license is a $40 fee - I'm assuming you'd get that, then pay the same amount to renew it every five years, like the current regular license.
So if the prices don't change the 'enhanced' would be $82 cheaper than the passport and regular license when buying them, and then $4.40 a year cheaper in renewals.
If you're a permanent resident or a H1-B holder you're not am American citizen, so you'd still need to have your passport and green card or whatever a H1-B has.
Talent borrows, genius steals.
How about "and Whites can pay someone else to do it for them"?

Machine code is easier, you only need to master 0 and 1.

In your CD tray like everyone else.

And you never do that in a lane which is only to be used for passing?

I think for most of the Ask Slashdot questions you should add Could people using products please recommend one?

How about the ISP help desk person who insisted my cable modem couldn't be down because I was still getting TV channels?
It's useful to know when you'r racing away from a traffic light.
But if they do put it anywhere near their face, then you've got more to worry about than just hearing a phone call.

That you'd need a passport if travelling between two countries?
You don't peel babies, that's where the vitamins are.
