One of the other addresses in the address book of your mom's (or boss's or client's) infected computer? Or maybe your mom's (or boss's or client's) own address.
You're right that they likely don't have your whitelist addresses if they just found your email publicly posted on a website like slashdot. If they somehow got your address from another person's infected computer the odds are a bit higher that they can find a whitelisted address.
Do those plugs come included with the ipads or are they sold separately (honest question, I really don't know)? If they are sold separately then what are the sales figures like for those plugs? My impression is that the vast majority of ipad/iphone owners don't hook up their machine to their television and would prefer using cable, a dvd, or even having their computer permanently hooked up to their tv to watch shows or movies with friends and family. Sure, with Apple's numbers they have the potential to grab a piece of the media pie that is not insignificant. I just don't think the sales numbers are really comparable to the sales numbers of a device that is specifically designed for the watching of shows by multiple viewers.
That's true. You definitely wouldn't want to quit your day job for it. I'd really only recommend it if you enjoy word games or typing anyway. I tend to do it when I need to unwind anyway. Even then, I often don't bother getting the max 1000 points per day if I get bored or have other things to do.
There's still Club Bing. They give you points for playing word games (that do searches on words you enter). Those points can be traded in for prizes. Since I started playing I think in October I've earned a book, 2 dvds, a water bottle, a magellan car gps, and a stressball, with an electric shaver is on the way. I'm about to redeem points for a juicer and a toaster oven. I know a number of people get xbox 360 games and controllers and sell them.
The whole family (which was larger on average back then compared to now) would gather around a single TV to watch together back in 1959. Iphones and even Ipads aren't really conducive to shared viewing like that.
I agree with you that in this case they should calculate the money made during the faulty period and either return it to customers if possible or donate to charity. They need an incentive to immediately fix a machine that shows any sign it is broken instead of waiting until the break hurts them instead of their customers. But I disagree that the rule NEVER protects the patrons.
I would guess that the majority of the time there's a malfunction (and probably the main reason for the rule) is when a person puts in a quarter, pulls on the lever and nothing happens. Maybe the quarter got jammed, maybe there's a short, who knows. In those cases, the patron can notify management that their machine isn't working and they'll return the person's quarter. If in the process of trying to fix the machine a bunch of quarters fall out the patron is not entitled to them. I think that's fair.
Some people will use the net to become more informed. Others will use it to zone out and learn less than they might have otherwise. For most people, the internet will both increase learning in some areas and increase intellectual laziness in others.
So I've long since abandoned my yahoo email address. I can't even remember my password. Does this mean that they will assume that whatever emails I still get there (all spam) are my "interests" and they will inform everyone in my address book of them?
I can't wait until my exgirlfriends try to contact me to discuss my interest in penis enlargement devices and nigerian princes.
There use to be a time where almost every game was amazing( Think Dreamcast. Powerstone 2 anyone? )
I love the Dreamcast and Powerstone 2 but I think you're overstating things. Not every game for the Dreamcast was amazing. Heck, even your example implies it. 2? What about the first Powerstone? Well, it was good but not amazing.
Not only that, but if you often only have two choices then it's likely that at least some of the time the free options aren't even in genres you're interested in. For me, a mediocre puzzle game is better than nothing but a slightly better than average football game has absolutely no value to me. If I had the option of choosing between two football games I probably wouldn't even bother downloading any at all. I have pretty eclectic tastes but I could easily come up with at least 4-5 types of games that I really have no interest in, even if it was free.
That's the problem. As long as we only see whatever is most popular there's no telling whether what you'll see is of any value...or even the same tomorrow.

So everyone has to buy the app? Or buy it multiple times if they want it for their ipad, iphone, etc.?
Excellent points made that I had not considered.

So if the couple had lost, could they have requested the machine be inspected by the Colorado Gaming Division and gotten the $1627.82?

Uh oh. We better jump from our Mach 3G Turbo straight to 5G!! That's right, I said 5G!!

Oh, and for those who are not aware, Xbox is a gaming system.
Wow, you're old. Go back to sleep and control some more dreams, grandpa.
Is that a pencil in your pocket or are you just ha...whooaaah change the channel!
I guess she's a ten cow server
The version I'm familiar with is of two cars racing toward each other. The first to swerve is the loser (the chicken).

correlation != causation c'mon guys. Mod me up. You know you want to see it, too.
I think the car was to give you a sense of height.
Okay ladies, whose more attractive? Fudd or Sam? What would their kids look like? A cartoon Hot or Not. Is this for some masters student's thesis?
I prefer decapitates.

Shouldn't that patent have expired already? Stupid ip laws.
