I doubt the HD exclusion in the slim consoles was a result of people modding, but rather a marketing decision or a way to produce the consoles more cheaply.
I work for a small company with a Linux server. By small, I mean less than 15 people.
I can build computers, admin most any linux flavor, and handle all of the networking, web design, and other IT needs the company has.....but with small companies, the owner doesn't always understand that good hardware is an investment.
We spend all kinds of money on idiotic advertising whims that show only a marginal increase in business.....but ask them to spend $600 on a refurbished server with the most basic level of redundency? Nooo....too expensive. Why do that when we can use a $500 workstation that barely handles our current needs. It works fine when only one person is doing something on the network...but it grinds to a halt when you get 5+ people doing anything more than saving a file.
Ok...I've ranted enough. I guess the good part about this is that I've got plenty of job security with as many problems as we have trying to use a workstation as a server.
Doesn't the BSD license allow free use of the code without requiring the resulting product be licensed under the same license?
If so, isn't it completely legal to use BSD code in a GPL product and the resulting work is GPL'd?
The applicable license would be the result of where you obtained the code...so if you got it from BSD, you follow that license, if you got it from the GPL'd product, you follow that license....right?
While I agree with your mentality, by buying an Xbox you aren't really supporting MS. If you buy a used Xbox, MS gets none of the profits. And with a new Xbox running at $150 and MS taking a loss on each one, technically it is subsidized computing paid for by Microsoft.
As long as the person buys no games for the Xbox....they are actually sticking it to MS by buying an Xbox lol
Not to be overly sarcastic...but this was modded insightful?
I work with credit every day. Credit is not about screwing the customer over. It's about determining risk vs. reward. How much reward does a lender need to have to justify the risk of lending the money.
I had a situation a while back with a hosting company. A client I maintain a website for decided to host their website through 1dollarhosting.com
The sign-up form very cleverly asks you for the information to transfer your domain name TO them.
When trying to renew the domain name, I was told by their employees that it is against their policy to release domain names. They let people transfer them in, but they will not release them to other registrars.
After digging a little deeper, they are a partner of Register.com. It took hours (literally) to get someone with enough authority on the phone (at register.com) to release the lock that they had on the account so a transfer would work.
Thankfully, the domain name was finally transferred and the guy at Register.com agreed that what they were doing was unethical....though that didn't stop them from making it a complete PITA.
I decided to post on this thread instead of moderate...I actually had a good experience with buying a computer from Best Buy
Since Laptops can be hit and miss with Linux compatibility, I actually got the manager at Best Buy to write me a guarantee that if Linux would not install correctly (and simply) I could return the laptop with no restocking fee.
What's funny though...is the tech people there didn't think Linux would work on the laptop because all of the drivers on it were for Windows. I had to remind them that the drivers would be erased and replaced with Linux drivers. It also killed their plan to sell me anti-virus software, MS Office, and other extras.
Since I was young, I've been extremely alergic to anything with fur. Guinnea pigs, gerbils, dogs, cats, you name it.
I had to get rid of a Guinnea pig because I broke out in hives.
I got a dog when I was about 13, and even though it killed my alergies for a while, I got used to it. Now I have 3 dogs and a cat, and none bother my alergies.
Alergies are an extreme response from the body to a foreign substance. By building up a tolerance, the body reacts less extremely.

As stated above, this doesn't mean that it's illegal to reuse the cartridge. It's only stating that Lexmark's program isn't deceptive or unfair.
In other words, it's ok for Lexmark to offer a prebate.

How can Google be held liable for associating rival companies on it's OWN search engine?
Google is not a public resource, no matter how beneficial they are to the online community.
I implemented a web based calender running on php and mysql for my entire office. My employees can check and update their calendar from anywhere.
You're right. My schedule isn't sophisticated enough to need someone else to build additional bloat into my e-mail program.
I meant sunlight reflecting off of the light. I doubt the light would be bright enough.
The lack of continuity in the other pictures could be the sunlight coming through the clouds for that one picture.
ummm....good for you?
Why does everyone think an e-mail program needs a calendar?
An e-mail program doesn't need a calendar any more than a web browser does. Nor does it need one any more than a file sharing program does.
If you want a calendar program, get a calendar program.
It appears the "flash" is light reflecting off of the lightpost. The streak could easily be explained by the light hitting the camera at an angle.
If it was reflecting right back at the camera, it could certainly result in that line.
It wouldn't reflect directly back, but at a slight angle. The light hitting the lense at an angle would make one side long. In this case....very long.
If given these statistics, they would conclude Firefox users are twice as likely to click advertisements.

Sorry, I should have specified GUI. I agree, a command line interface is a good thing *G*
Why on earth would a server need a UI???
Oh, you mean so that barely qualified server admins can pretend to fix problems on the server without actually understanding what they are doing?
A UI eats up resources. Even moreso with all the eye candy.
Just because someone sues you....that doesn't mean that all of your private information and trade secrets should become public information.

Yes...I realize this. That was an attempt at a joke....albeit, a really bad attempt LOL
