The black macbook gives you an extra 40gb of space for an extra $200.
An extra 40gb of space costs about $40.
So the remaining $160 is just for the different color.
Amazon isn't just "a particular video store", it's the world's largest online retailer. You are the one making inaccurate analogies. Of course, in this case, you are doing it on purpose.
A good admin will also keep up with the ever changing tools M$ and others throw out, and this causes even more wasted time. I've seen ambitious young admins spending months of weekends reading four inch thick books on things like Visual Studio, knowing.NET is just around the two year away corner.
That's like saying that keeping up with the different releases of apache (first 1.x, then 2.x) is a waste of time, so we should all just lag behind in terms of technology. Apache 2 was just the natural evolution of the webserver. Likewise,.NET is the natural evolution of the microsoft programming implementations.
I know you love to play the victim, but that was pretty weak.
The question was rhetorical. Instead of mucking with the time zone and such, there are other far more sensible ways to save energy.
To coin a phrase, two rights don't make a wrong. Just because there are alternatives doesn't mean that this isn't good.
Too bad? So that means I am not allowed to complain about it? Do my complaint insults Prince Dubya?
Straw man argument.
No match for lobbyists? Really? Thanks for keeping me enlightened. Go back to bed Mr. cranky pants.
Unconstructive sarcasm, ad-hominem attack.
Their active x control installation has nothing to do with the WGN installation and the cancellation of it.
Guess which one sends info to Microsoft when you cancel the installation? HINT: It's the activeX control. So just to be clear, lets get the order of things straight;
1. You browse to Windows Update website
2. You install activeX control
3. You install WGA USING activeX control
4. You cancel WGA installation
5. Windows Update activeX control sends information to microsoft on your installation statistics
You chose to install the Windows Update ActiveX control, didn't you? And you clicked "I agree" when it told you it could send this info to Microsoft, didn't you? So why would you be angry when it does exactly that? Perhaps people need to read the licensing agreements they agree to before agreeing to them, instead of just clicking "yes, I agree" like a madman.
Frankly, I wouldn't even be surprised if he did some old-fashioned reverse-engineering of the patch to create the exploit for the older boxes.
And then used his time machine to go back in time to before the bug was patched and announce the exploit?
The guy informed the world about the bug, then Apple fixed it, but refused to credit him for it.
Any customer who gets their key "stolen" by this program can just take it back - Vista comes with several activations on the same key. Once the customer uses the key, the previous user of it will eventually be required to re-activate.
Jobs only said he was opposed to DRM because he knew that it wouldn't make a difference. It was a publicity stunt, but nothing more. He simply announced "hey guys, I hate DRM as much as all you, but I'm being forced to use it. I'm the victim here." If given the choice to ditch DRM or not, you had better believe Apple would choose not to. They make more money the way it is now.
The $200,000 was awarded for damages, not court costs. The only damage done was to the customers, who had to pay for the received spam messages. The $200,000 will obviously be in addition to court costs, or as you put it, money spent "going after the spammer".

Forget expensive paint, WPA2 is more secure than this snake oil bullshit.
77.54 is ~$103.28
I figured I'd clear that up, since this is slashdot.org and not slashdot.co.uk.
Alright! It's about time we found a way to fight Malaria! Up until now there have been no treatments for it. Next stop, mosquitos that fight smallpox!
now all those case modders will have their lights built in!

Nothing for you to see here, please move along.

That's the life of a very bad admin. A good admin doesn't need to do any of that because the patches worked without a hitch.

Why was I marked redundant? That's not redundant at all..

Yes, I believe it is every six months, as that is the interval by which Windows Vista retail must be re-activated anyways.
Or they could NOT loosen up activation, and it would be a hindrance to all legitimate users.
Have you considered the possibility that you cannot find one because there are none on the market and those who own one don't want to sell theirs?
Any customer who gets their key "stolen" by this program can just take it back - Vista comes with several activations on the same key. Once the customer uses the key, the previous user of it will eventually be required to re-activate.
All Microsoft has to do is block the IP address that is requesting thousands of activations on separate, invalid keys per second.
