If they have to replace your Wii, your account is moved with it, and I was able to re-download my games. There is a re-download option in the Wii Shop, so I would assume its allowed.
With FairPlay, they can do a time limit, so, for example, if a 7 day return period was required, I suppose you could have the license expire after 7 days if returned, and it has to check with the server to renew it permanently. Of course, this would be a headache to implement in iTunes, and I wouldn't care for that implementation anyway (couldn't just go to a wireless cafe, for example, to download a song. You'd have to guarantee a connection 7 days later, or the song is no good). And this would only work on DRMed music.
Of course, people have been simply returning ripped CDs for years, so it probably wouldn't be much different than that, or ripping movies off NetFlix DVDs, or domain kiting; the experienced will get some free things, and the inexperienced will not.
As someone who sells PCs, I am looking at Apple wondering when they will get off their asses and start selling MacOS for PC machines, so I can simply stop selling Why not just get a job at an Apple Store?
When I attempt to update VS 2005, it tells me there is no current update available; I either already have it, or its not showing up, but I do appreciate the information.
I got a free copy of the business edition, and I installed it over XP Pro 64bit. To be honest, it runs much more quickly than XP 64 (less CPU usage, programs appear to start more quickly).
However, Microsoft did a presentation here on Vista, and I have to disagree with a lot of their reasoning for "improvements." Users want more security, and, in my opinion, UAC is more annoyance than security.
Our presenter said the new start menu and search came from research that said most people use their keyboard to move around choosing programs, not the mouse. Ok, the search feature IS nice. However, if you do use your mouse on the start menu (and most people I know do use the mouse here, sadly), its harder to use than the menu in XP. My favorite thing when it comes to this, is that everywhere, Bill Gates has said that everyone will be blown away by the Vista Search the moment it comes out of the box. My computer is basically a brand new top of the line system, and it took it 12+ hours to index my almost empty hard drive. While it is doing this, it gives you a message telling you to try the search later. So much for it working immediately out of the box.
Now, one place I have to give Vista props is the look. Vista looks nice overall; I didn't know my $30 graphics card could show images that crisp. Aero isn't bad either.
Vista has not crashed yet. The only problem I've had is with Visual Studio 2005; it likes to complain a lot, but it runs.
Anyway, those are my two cents on Vista. I had no idea if I'd like it, but its honestly not half bad. I'll still stick with my MacBook Pro for most stuff, though.
Good luck finding one, Verizon seems to go further and further down the road of restricting access to equipment their consumers buy with every new phone they release.
Same thing with all the nuclear plants near here (three are non-blurred. It's gotta be like the guy said above; it depends on where Google is getting the satellite imagery.
I think it's not quite that cut and dry. FF10 and 12 aren't that bad. However, as a whole, I agree that its not moving in the right direction. FFX-2 was a big mistake.
I've read numerous articles that state that GoDaddy does register domains and park them, as you said. They make tons of money off of this, because they can then sell you the backorder service.
For this reason, I have stopped using GoDaddy to search for available domain names. I use tucows domain search, or r4l.com and search there, then later register it on GoDaddy when I'm sure I want said domain.
In all seriousness, I'd be surprised to see that many major colleges did not offer a senior project; I know every CS school I looked at had that built in.
I'm a computer science student, and am currently in our required ethics course. Our teacher asked for an example of technology that was intrusive and hurt our privacy and rights. I immediately said DRM. In an senior level computer science course, I was suprised that absolutely NO ONE knew what I was talking about...

It's not nearly as uncommon as you might think, either. I've heard of a lot of people doing this, and they have always gotten their issue resolved.

It's a shame Mr. Jobs' personal assistant didn't handle all technical support issues

I'd say 99.9% of University's have the number for their switchboard on their website. Call and ask for Professor [Insert Name Here].
You will get two outcomes:
1. There is no such professor
2. Sure, please hold while I transfer you.
Problem solved.
Can someone recap the list? Site blocked by work filter =/
If you're staying at this coming job for a long time, I wouldn't see it as a big deal.

I thought there was a law that you could not destroy US money? Would that not be the reason behind the exportation block?

I wholeheartedly agree. Starfox Command was easily the best game since the N64 version, and it completely sucks. I'd kill for Starfox 64 2.

Apple confirmed the 802.11n fee at being $1.99.
I'd be much happier with a Ghostbuster's 3... I could care less about a Ghostbuster's game because I know it won't be worth my time...
I can't read the article from work due to the word "game" in the article. Can someone paste the names of the additional songs?
According to Justin Long's website, this story is bogus.

If there is an upgrade next week, I'd prefer to have the upgraded version for the same price. Hence, I'll wait.
Did Apple tell you this? I'm just curious, because I'm about to buy one too.
I figured the entire thing was fake, but I'll try it.
Thank you very much!
