The original Mac was supposed to ship with MacBasic. But Bill Gates, who had licensed Applesoft basic to Apple, didn't want competition in the langauges field and threatened not to renew the license for Applesoft if Apple shipped MacBasic.
This is a civil matter not a criminal matter. Your friends could always have the option of taking those internet fraudsters to court just like what Paramount is doing.
I think he meant working capital. A lot of small businesses even though they can be profitable forget about working capital. If 90% of your business is in Dec. But your sales in June slump. Then you don't have enough money to buy new inventory for those games that come in November, or you don't have the funds to pay rent.
It's the same reason why MS gives away Internet Explorer, to squash competition. Once all competition is gone, they are free to charge monopoly prices.
The reason why game shows don't put giant logos is because of controversy in the 1950s, over advertisers having too much say in the out come of quiz shows. See the movie Quiz Show.
Fry's prices are actually pretty expensive for certain items. My friend bought his Kodak cam at Dell for 100 bucks cheaper than at Frys. These guys sell more cameras than a typical Frys so they may be able to negotiate a cheaper discount from the wholesalers. They mark up flashes, lenses, batteries higher but do not pressure you to buy them. These cameras are grey market, destined for a different market like Asia which sells cameras cheaper, a third party buys these cameras and then resells them in America. You by coincidence got the same camera as they sell in Vietnam. I bought a Canon S100 online at some store for 100 bucks cheaper than anywhere else and didnt have any problems and even got warranty service on it.
Buy an Olympus or Pentax. They are relatively cheap compared with Canons and the Nikons and their optics aren't too horrible. But then again all of your photographer friends will snicker at you. Sigma's are relatively affordable as well. But their lenses aren't known to be the greatest. There are a lot of affordable choices.
Running an LCD takes quite a bit of juice. So for some photographers, I am thinking maybe sports photographers, they don't really need an LCD screen, so you can turn it off. LCDs also don't offer the same amount of color and clarity especially if you are using filters and the like. So unless LCD resolution rivals real life and real life lighting, I can't see how they can replace traditional eyes. But that's just me talking out of my butt.
Well you can find older Kodak bodies that take Nikon and Canon mounts on ebay for dirt cheap. But if you really cared about optical quality you would be shooting slides and scanning it one by one. That's the way we did it when I was a lad and by gum we liked it.
You do realize that the sensor used in those high end cameras sometimes contain Sony sensors. The Minolta cameras contain Sony sensors. Also Carl Zeiss makes lenses for Sony. Oh and Sony has been making video cameras for over 30 years and if you watch your local news, chances are it is using Sony Betacam tapes with a Sony camera.
Also, Panasonics are actually rebranded Leicas, and Leicas are a good thing.
I find that people who spend 1k on a camera don't know much about optics. People that spend 1k on a lense and 100 bucks on a camera, know a quite a bit about optics.
Sony took their camera sensor normally meant for expensive professional DSLRs with interchangable lenses and stuck it in a less expensive fixed lensed system. Think of Chevy putting a Nascar engine in a minivan.
They most likely use compact flash because you can get 4 gb hard drives for them. And that kind of storage is more in demand when your pics are of a higher resolution. Also, being that less expensive cameras tend to be on the smaller side, having a compact flash slot can take quite a bit of room let alone both a CF slot and a Memory stick slot.

The clone doesn't have a belly button.
From their perspective, why would someone buy GTA:PS3 when their friend can just lend you theirs.
The law is receiving a digital signal, not necessarily high definition signal.
If someone breaks into your house because it was unlocked and kills your wife, then you should be in jail not the killer. Makes perfect sense to me.

Like others stated it's a civil matter, it's preponderance of the evidence standard and no one is prosecuted.

My guess is that you just have brain damage.

Please cite where they don't have to pay taxes for 7 years. Thanks.
Unions are specifically exempt from anti trust law by statute. So are the Major League Baseball Association and insurance companies.

Yeah but the R1 is Prosumer, not consumer so it makes it okay.

This camera uses CMOS not CCD.

Thank god someone knows what Single Lense Reflex means. I was about to kill myself.

It uses Compact Flash or Sony Memory Stick. Have fun with your new camera.
