Or do you get the refund and the option to continue to use the OS? Surely Amazon isn't tied all the way back through ASUS to Microsoft's licensing servers.
The guy works for a group whose business is *collecting royalties* for artists. Of course he's going to say that sales are up, and his clients deserve more money. If he were saying that sales were way down and had less than 7 degrees of separation from the RIAA he'd be flayed alive. When his position supports the/. mindhive it doesn't matter what his credentials are.
I should know better by now, but I'm disappointed by you,/.ers.
Isn't this the same group that got caught releasing doctored photos when one of their missile launchers failed to fire? Maybe they cut the video feed right before the satellite exploded.
About a decade ago, our artillery unit did do "rollovers" on hard drives for the intel unit. The drives, although already drilled through, were stored in a safe and ecsorted by Military Police. After we ran them over, the pieces went back into the safe. After the drilling and crushing, the drives were to be put into a 55 gallon barrel (along with wood or paper), doused in fuel, and burnt for a minimum of 30 minutes.

No wonder eBay's lawyers couldn't pay attention during the meetings.

Is your place of employment hiring?
I have one of these:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812161002 ...works very well for a number of disk interfaces. Good luck.
Tried to RTFA, but blocked from work as P2P.
If you sold them for less than they cost to manufacture you'd qualify for bailout money.
That's disc, not disk.
We just need to build a fence to keep these Canadian terrorists out. Migrating, my ass.

Does that return period apply to the cheeseburger I bought last night?
It wasn't modded down. He's just a habitual troll with such bad karma that he starts at -1.
I heard Dells aren't selling very well in Ireland at all these days.

I've effectively "safeguarded" several hard drives at my local rifle range. Now that's a fun day out.
I know, I know... But I'm glad to see people starting to realize that they shouldn't just blindly swallow everything they're fed.
