" People contact me through email & demand a 25% or 50% discount or else they will neg me. (I have no choice but to give in because I can't neg them back. They are holding the weapon and I have nothing.)"
Then call the police and have fucking blackmail/extortion charges filed against them after you obtain a reliable address, you fucking moron.
Done it, twice. Still 'won.' Once for EA, the second time for my most recent eviction hearing, and in that one I offended both judge and plaintiff in the same fell swoop, in front of a commission, with hard backing of State and Federal Law quotes.
Tact - it's a quality you must possess if you wish to be a dick and get away with it.
"In relatively built-up suburban areas it can cost between $2000 and $7000 per subscriber. In rural areas it costs between $5000 and $12000 per subscriber."
Durrr, as if those subscribers will/will not leave and some other person just reuses existing infrastructure.
Verizon wasn't making money fast enough for their tastes.
"I laugh at the people who claim that the USA is a bad place to live, that the government is so corrupt and they are constantly controlling us. Leave then, take your arse somewhere else and then call me from there and let me know how things are going."
Panama is quite nice. So is Japan. Lived in both places for short periods of time.
Only reason I'm still in the USA is probation. Once that's done, I'm taking myself, and half of your agricultural economy (with tech I've developed,) with me.
Then we'll see how you enjoy living with China's boots on your throat and the throats of your children/grandchildren.
No, every revision does NOT have identical performance and the hardware revisions changed dramatically, from removing features to adding others. The revisions with the combo EE+GS chips showed considerable improvement in SotC play over the older separate GS and EE chips, but still not enough to play the game, with some scenes still dropping to 5 FPS or worse.
"Make use of us; we in the GS are the one contingent with a triple-digit IQ in the store"
BZZZZZT. Were that the case I'd have not been the lead repair specialist for Geek Squad fuckups at Solectron in Memphis.
The music gear section bypassed you in knowledge. They could at least say why I wanted a ribbon mic versus condenser mic. Your idiots told me I had to give them my laptop so they could install drivers for my LCD to be replaced (we haven't needed drivers since 1998 for a plug and play monitor with EDID. This was 2000 fucking 9.)
It was still produced with the work of a Federal Agency (and let me tell you, half of that tech MOST CERTAINLY is not in the public domain, either, despite being funded with taxpayer money.)
We may have the rights to it, but only the government will likely be able to sue if this takendown were malicious in nature, as it affected all of us. The government would sue on our behalf in a full class-action, and the case would be titled "The People of the United States of America vs. Scripps."
What must be seen is whether the government would have any copyright over the creation of this NASA video. Since NASA is a Federal level agency, it's very possible that it does.
Gee, no wonder it got suspended. It has too much in common on its own with other business sites with the same name. You probably got hit with a trademark dispute and didn't even know it, since you forgot to add your first name or initial.
Sager, which you can get for half the price of a similarly-equipped (actually better since OSX doesn't support anything past a 5770 currently) Mac. Oh, and if you're GOOD enough, you could just drop MenuetOS on it and have your own OS in under 20 MB, running faster than anything you've ever seen - from a FLASH DRIVE.
"Does your PC fit in the same number of cubic inches the mini does?"
Less in my laptop, actually, with higher specs, including dual GPUs. Plus I have a 32" monitor, wireless keyboard/mouse, mixer board, 5.1 speaker system, and much more, all well under the price of just the Mac Mini.

Poor planning and execution, that is all this is.
"For the vast amount of people who aren't you , they actually want TV service OVER internet service."
Wrong, they're forced to get it because bundled packages are cheaper than the standalone internet service.
Old hat trick. So sorry you're too ignorant to see it.
"You don't really believe that any food crops from the last couple centuries are genetically identical to their wild ancestors, do you?"
Hi, I work in the industry of agriculture.
You're a moron. Good day.
Most nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers) are EXACTLY the same as they were two centuries ago.

"Used intelligently by a skilled programmer"
2010 called. What you ask for is in extremely short stock and will be as long as the educational systems go to shit.
Generals aren't front line.
Grandpa never hit Lt. Col till after Vietnam.
Grunt through and through.
"No, it was not "very common"."
Not according to journals from my Grandfather, Lt. Col USMC, who served it all from WWII up to Korea/Vietnam.
That shit happened DAILY.
You're starting to sound pretty ignorant of history. THAT is foolish.

"It runs at full speed, because it is running on the native hardware."
Yep, I can tell you've never played Shadow of the Colossus. Full speed, on an actual PS2, HAH!
Not even FOUR REVISIONS could give the PS2 enough power for SotC.
PCSX2? MUCH FASTER.

Yep, they can, and they have! Start at Title 17 USC, Section 101.

This with a dedicated Steam port would be ideal for a lightweight and fast gaming system.
The Joke
--------------------
Your Head.
Any questions, or should I use a sword to further demonstrate the differences?
Actually, that might be a bad idea. Given the force of my swings, your head might fly above the joke as it gets lopped off.
Ah, the days of ignorant 7-digit UIDs.
I've had the Secret Service get my /. account temp. suspended while they investigated me for a comment made back in.... 2004 or so.
I solved the lunch problem, but it seems everyone's going to have to suffer this current drought for a few years before they'll fucking listen.
Enjoy wasting 80+% of your water during the drought!
If you use 'thee' the phrase would be "Art thou so evil, that thee canst be trusted any longer?"
No, GPs usage was incorrect.
Art thou so evil, that one can not trust thou any longer?
Thou = you. Thee = you and companions.
Thou, you moron. One cannot trust thou.
Fuck, you'd think you'd have learned this playing Ultima 4-6.
You know, it might help to just do a little simple research on your part.

So you drive one of those top-heavy SUVs? ;)
