It was underpowered because they only had capacity for beta testers, since they were not expecting regular users to hit them until the official release date.
What are you talking about? 'I couldn't care less' means 'I don't care about that at all'. 'I could care less' is a mangling of that phrase. If you think about it, it almost means the opposite. Taken at face value it means 'I care about this a tiny bit'. No one in the UK says 'I could care less', so I assume it is an American phenomenon.
Or wait for the game to go on sale, at the date they originally thought it would? And additionally, Stardock offered it for sale online, after the sale embargo was broken. There's not really an ethical excuse.
If you'd RTFS you'd see that the developer was hurt, by the huge number of bootleggers using their servers, deteriorating the experience for paying users.
If the IT department can make them shut down at 8pm, they can probably make them WOL at 8am. WTF is wrong with people like you, who make it your mission to place every obstacle in the way of trying to do things to save money and power? And is your job really that important that you can't wait 2 minutes for your computer to boot.
This is different from a regular shop though, he bought this stuff online, and could not have known about defects in the product before buying it. Luckily for me, UK law gives consumers a week to return any item bought online, no questions asked, for this very reason.
This type of law is actually meant to prevent, for example, the girl's dad from reporting the boyfriend to the police. If he did, charges would automatically be filed against his daughter. Slightly less fucked up, but still fucked up.
In the UK, induction loops for this purpose were abandoned a while ago. Instead, optical sensors on top of the lights are used, that can detect bicycles.
Once again, I would like to reiterate that IT DOES keep running. And there is no LaunchServices job, because if Mail is not started, new mail is not downloaded.
No, some Apple apps are allowed to stay in memory (and run) whereas no third party apps are given the privilege. Mail will download emails in the background for instance, and Safari maintains your open tabs.
Get a DSLR. My year and a half old D40 will go from off to a photo in a second, and once on will take a photo in less than that time (assuming it's focussed). It has a metal tripod mount, and the rechargeable battery lasts a week. And the only sound is the satisfying 'kathunk' of the mirror.
Actually their laptops have very good access to their hard drives. Although it's a very involved process to change an iMac or Mac mini drive, it's incredibly easy on a modern Macbook or Macbook Pro. Apple even provides instructions .
Second for this idea. My secondary school did this. The most important thing is to make sure that the WiFi works for every computer every time its used. Otherwise ten minutes of every lesson will be spent getting the computers connected. It might even be helpful to get a couple of spare laptops, that can immediately replace any broken ones.
My issue is that neither Gnome nor KDE come up to the standards of OS X. Dozens of applications which are part of the core suite of applications on Ubuntu don't fit in with the desktop environment. Firefox is XUL, OpenOffice is Java. I don't care about customisation, I want software to be usable out of the box, and I want it to get out of the way, so that I can work. On OS X, almost every application I use fits in great with the operating system, and it's far easier for developers to integrate with it, because there is basically only one API (there are others beyond Cocoa, but no sane developer starting from scratch would use them).
People don't want choice, they want sensible defaults.
As an aside, you can avoid Finder on OS X. Path finder can be used as the 'default file viewer', using an API which I believe was introduced in Leopard.

I use rtorrent with Moblock to filter connections to known copyright enforcer's IP addresses.
Most people encrypt their bittorrent traffic these days. My client is set to allow only secure connections.

Well then they'll have to turn the damn thing on theirselves, wasting all of 2 minutes.

This bar is different than the ones you are describing. It is injected into any website linked from Digg, or using Digg's URL shortening service.

The new Macbook and Macbook Pro have much improved hard-drive access. Apple even shows you how to do it in their manual.

Obviously laughing hard enough not to notice the GP is Anonymous Coward.
Hard to come by? I got my region free DVD player for £30 off Amazon. But maybe it's different in the USA.
P.S. WTF is up with Slashdot not supporting Unicode. Manually escaping characters sucks.

Upgrades. I bought a shrink-wrapped copy of Leopard to upgrade from Tiger.
We wouldn't know about issues with insurance here.

That's incorrect. Photos on Facebook are not searchable, nor are the tags in them indexed.
