Price is key. It needs to be $100 to capture the existing OEM license buyers. Hit the $50 mark and lots of people who would have pirated will just buy.
The brain being intact at a gross level doesn't mean that it's intact at a cellular level...so I doubt the network topology of the brain is still in place. Besides, the brain has state which decays without active maintenance, so network topology alone is not sufficient.
Plenty of Islamist countries don't think murder is bad; especially when it's the killing of women, jews, and americans. I would agree that most Western nations agree that murder is bad.
I'm assuming that the set of programs names have to match; it's not sufficient for the system to contain a single program of interest. So then you have to look at all the possible subsets of the programs available...a much larger space.
Tech/IT service is not doomed to fail. Apple and Bose, just to name a few off hand examples, have an excellent track record of repair and customer service. Sounds like a combo of bad process at BB and people expecting a high level of support...not the fast food support equivalent that is the geek squad.
Hey, statistically speaking...with all the people in Russia and the former soviet bloc, even "rare" isotopes are bound to be swallowed by at least a few people.

this is exciting...the dawning of a new space era where private industry is leading the space race, spurred onward by government prize money and contracts. With the proper oversight, this could be more productive than having NASA build inhouse.
I noticed that in the Northeast, it's far more common for people to live with their parents well into their 20's due to high housing costs....whereas in the southeast, most people are out of the parents house by 18 if they go to college or 20 if they're working because housing is so cheap.
Put your images up in the cloud and just link to them in the craigslist post...so that they render in the craigslist page without the reader having to click through. This is how I generally post to craigslist anyways.
I don't really care if craigslist wants to try to own my text; but I definitely wouldn't want them to get rights to photos I took of my own stuff.
Shit...owning your enemy's machines and blasting American music rather than quietly stealing their data...that's some serious psyops. They've got to be feeling vulnerable now.

Also, in Germany, 20% tax is included in the price. In the US, tax is added to the price.
So a $1,200 computer in Germany is actually the same price as a $1,000 computer in the USA, before tax.
FYI...heroin, coke, and weed are all prescribed drugs in parts of the US/Europe. The line is blurred.
Clear tube can take on any color when it is filled with liquid of that color.
Calling it a robot that changes colors seems a bit outlandish.

hey, relax, this is slashdot... :P

Planned obsolescence. The optimal design for an defense company is one that must constantly be replaced.
Turn the stores into Amazon local distribution centers. Allow customer pick up in store or same day delivery.

GENERAL PLYMKIN
Now what's wrong with this thing?
General Plymkin messes with the controls.
GENERAL PLYMKIN
Fucking windows 98!
General Plymkin has pulled the plug. He stands there with
the cord in his hands.
GENERAL PLYMKIN
GET GATES IN HERE!!!
BILL GATES walks in, escorted by two MILITARY GUARDS.
GENERAL PLYMKIN
YOU TOLD US WINDOWS 98 WOULD BE FASTER
AND MORE EFFICIENT WITH BETTER ACCESS TO
THE INTERNET!!!
BILL GATES
It is faster, over five million--
Plymkin pulls out a gun and shoots him in the head. Gates
falls to the floor, dead.
GENERAL PLYMKIN
Alright men, get lots of rest, and
prepare thyselves for battle!
Don't instantiate Romney for the 2013 control function!

it's it problematic to define a city as containing itself? It's Rome...all the way down.
iCloud does the same.
