A classic ploy to get clerks to remove ink and screamer tags is this:
1) Purchase product with ink tag and toss it in the car. 2) Go back with receipt. 3) Grab new product with ink tag off rack. 4) Bring tagged product to register with receipt. 5) Tell clerk he/she forgot to remove the tag. Use receipt as proof. 6) Go back the next day and return one of the items.
Various companies have been issuing badges with changing keys like this for years. Several people I work with have them. They change about once a minute.
So, I suppose it's safe to say they've figured those problems out.
Is Windows XP the only thing Microsoft sold from 2001 to 2004?
What about 2003 Server? Windows 2000 Server? SQL Server? SMS Server? Exchange? Office? Windows PocketPC? XBox? Xbox games? Xbox controllers? VisualStudio? Mice? Keyboards?
How the hell do they figure that *all* of Microsoft's legal fees are directly accounted for by Windows XP?
"Sony also indicated that additional changes may be on the way, not all of them good. Users may want to gobble up PS3 units now, for fear that Sony actually starts to make some electronics cutbacks to curb their current $1.7 billion (yes, with a 'B') loss currently on the books for PS3. Sony stated that it would not pull back on the Cell processor or BD (Blu-ray Disc) drive or networking ability - but nearly everything else is fair game for either enhancements (plan on premium costs) or removal/downsizing (think memory/cache and possibly secondary chipsets.)"
The fact is that this plasma will give a much better picture in rooms that are anything but "very dim."
Look at a white wall in a regularly lit room. Is that the color you want the blacks on your TV to be?
This item isn't meant to be mass-market. If $90,000 is a *big freakin deal* to you, then the TV is definitely not for you. If $100k is a drop in the bucket, then this beats front projection hands down, so why not? It'd be way cooler to have your investment banker buddies over to watch the game on this thing than on front projection.
Why? Because he knows just enough about physics to feel condescending without actually knowing enough about physics to know that the article is 100% correct?

Anyone else want to bet that the iPhone from Apple blows away this device from High Tech in the asthetics and user interface categories?
I bet they name it something like "S360-X Pearl 1GB."
Man, the pirated copies are better than the retail copies.
I want pirated copies.
I like how the *least* selected option in that poll is how reality is actually turning out.
Are you just making this stuff up?
I've burned hundreds of dual-layer DVDs from various generic brands and *every single one* of them has worked perfectly fine in my home DVD player.
Someone has never eaten at Popeye's.
Like rust?
Is rust a salt?
These are not ionic bonds. Go find an electronegativity chart.
He's quoting something.
It was funny.
Spinning at 10 RPM for three seconds means you've taken 3 seconds to turn around 180 degrees.
I'm pretty sure I could do it in less than half that time and still feel just fine.
This company has cent cease and desist letters.
That's all.
There is no lawsuit. There's the apparent threat of a lawsuit, but that's all.
Move along folks. Move along.
These things aren't ISA modems or parallel port scanners.
Graphics cards are immensely complex.
You've never worked retail, have you.

Ta-da! You now have one stolen, de-tagged item.
Well, to be more clear, the iTunes store is only compatible with iTunes and the iPod. No other media players or portables.
You need an iPod to use the iTunes Store.
I think you need to read the article you linked to, because ZFS is very very different from ReiserFS and ext3.
In a show filled with brilliant lines, that was among the best.

You just absolutely guaranteed that the iPhone will be a huge success.
Nice going.
I'm not sure that 6.5 million of anything in five months qualifies it for being in short supply.

So how do they differentiate between the 600 employees at my company that use a standard browser installation and share an IP address?
Projection is awesome.. if you're in a dark room.

Nope.
Einstein *did* develop the quantum theory in question. He got his Nobel Prize for the photoelectric effect.
Are you nuts?
Best Buy sells 720p plasma TVs in 42" and 50" by the truckload. They sell 720p direct-view CRTs and LCDs in all sizes as fast as they can get them.
