Buying something off the internet should cost more than going to a local retailer. After all, the online stores are more convenient and have a better selection. These are things that you're supposed to pay more for!
The problem with your argument is that if you don't have a job, then you're not going to be buying the product no matter who makes it or how much it costs.
The "Mac OS market" doesn't mean anything. You can't raise the monopoly issue with a company and its own products. Obviously, 100% of Apple computers are sold by Apple, otherwise they wouldn't be Apple computers!
I have a Linksys cable modem firewall/router. How do I fix mine? It appears that pretty much every firewall allows outgoing requests but block incoming ones.
Would you pay $129 for a piece of memory that claimed to be manufactured in an environmentaly friendly way, when the "regular" memory of the same type and size was only $59?
Mr. Anderson noted that the retail stores generated $23 million in manufacturing profit. "[They're] already beginning to pay off," Anderson said, responding to naysayers.

If you make $16K/year, then you can't afford to have 4 kids any more than you could afford to have 4 televisions. That person made a mistake, so he should suffer, not me.
Hm. It's a damn shame; girls not going into computer science are missing out on endless opportunities. The opportunity to enter an already glutted job market. The opportunity to have your skills derided or just plain ignored by your superiors at work. The opportunity to join legions of online communities of their underpaid, lonely, insecure male counterparts.
The only people who talk like that are the mediocre. I know several people who are excellent software engineers, some with advanced degrees and lots of experience, and they are doing very well in this economy.
I've heard plenty of horror stories of "IT" people (as if being a software engineer puts in the same class as network admins - ha!) who have been out of job for almost a year. And in every situation, it's because that person was just a mediocre, if not crappy, tech person, like some Windows admin who has a degree in History and hasn't even gotten MSCE certified.
I'm sorry, but just knowning how to use a computer is no longer sufficient for job security.
You're right - without a subscription, the box is a doorstop.
I bought my lifetime membership almost 3 years ago. At that time, people were also saying that the company might go bankrupt. So I wouldn't worry about the rumors. Just spend the extra $250 (or whatever it costs in the UK) and be happy!
Obviously, you know nothing about beer. To say that all beer is the same, regardless of label, is just idiotic. A bottle of Bud Light doesn't taste anywhere near as good as a bottle of Spaten Premium.
When I install a package, I want it to create all the icons and folders on the desktop and launch bar. And I want it to detect my window manager and adjust accordingly.

Frankly, I think this is a good idea.
They mean a network card on the TiVo, not the Mac.
No shit. As an OS/2 user, the BeOS fans make me look like the popular kid in high school!

I hope I don't need to explain this further.
Have you actually tasted their coffee?
TiVo is no longer hacker-friendly. Their Series 2 boxes have implemented several anti-hacking provisions.

Yes, I would.
The later versions of MASM did replace "MOV AX,0" with "XOR AX,AX". You're living in the '80s, dude.

Instead of XOR, a lot of people use SUB.
Can you provide details on how you did that?

Editors are supposed to correct the spelling mistakes. That's why they're called editors.

You'll never get an honest answer to this question. If he answers no, he'll get fired..

I do. Dual Athlon running eCS 1.0 right now.

You should start a letter writing campaign to bring attention to this issue.
