How many times are we going to play this left vs right, black vs white, dogs vs cats game. If we where doing windows vs apple then we might have something.
Linux is a whole other ball game. Because of the diversity of distros you can't really compare the world of Linux with any thing else.
Maybe that's what pisses a lot of people off about Linux. They can't fit it in there two way only spectrums (like Libertarianism for example.)
I have a butt load of really old computer parts. What can I do with them? I don't want to throw them away, but I can't use them either. I always wondered, who I can give them to to make use of them.
Some parts don't work, like a old mother board for example. But maybe someone with more knowledge than me can take it apart and recycle the parts that do work.
Some would say that the United States is turning into a fascist police state and a cultural melting pot.
You need a lot a money to immigrate to Canada as a skilled worker. Which I don't have. I find that people applying for refuge status have it much easier when immigrating to Canada.
So the faster US citizens looses it freedoms, liberty and privacy, the better. They're just making it easier for me to move to Canada as a refuge.
And why would I lie about not reading a article? The only reason I know it was a joke was because of user comments. I usually read user comments first before reading the article. Most the time I find user comments more interesting than the article it self.
Wait, why the hell am I defending my self. If you don't have any thing nice to say than just fuck off!
Actually what they do is jack the price way up, than offer rebates. So when you turn in your rebate and get your money you end up paying the "real" price (what ever that means).
Most stores do the same when they have "SALES". They jack up the price than say they're having a sale of 50% off after jacking the price up 50%. It's all just social engineering to rip people off.
Any person with a brain can see this only benefits the company not the customer.
I'm here now swearing an oath to all/.ers that when I start my own business that my store will not have rebates or.99 cent bull shit on prices. In fact every thing over $1 will be rounded off to the nearest $1.
When did they start giving out postcards. Back in the day (when I was dumb enough to shop at Best Buy) I got these mile long receipts that you could wipe your ass with for a month.

So like fish out of water it drives them mad.

Any idea?

So I say bring it.
When they come out with Porn with these things let me know.;)
"But it doesn't mean that there is no smart new technology to wow consumers. It's just that people are finding more efficient ways to do it."
I could be wrong but doesn't most of the new technology come from OSS?

It's bad enough that the majority of Americans are over weight. Now they don't even have to move their fat fingers to push the buttons.
Not to mention that it is about as dumb as a remote for the car stereo which I have seen by the way.
My cousin who has the car stereo remote is a coonass so I wouldn't be surprised if they're the first people to get something like that.

How many Starfleet Officers does it take to shoot a Python in the Enterprise... Wait wrong article.

By the way from a far distance that photo looks like a Borg Cube.

Well, at least they're using IRC and not AIM.

The ability to NOT pay for tolls, gas or parking would be even cooler. ;)
I meant the people.
That's until you take apart some of those "PCs" than you know why the price is so low.;)
and that's still funny. LOL!
hell of a long time to be in a conference call. They're phone bills most be through the roof and in need of a major piss break.
I was so excited about the headline I posted before reading the article and finding out it was a joke.
I'm still pissed from disappointment.
who those "little people" where putting rebate coupons in the mail on my street.
And I thought the circus was in town.

I'd give you mod points if I could.

Joking about the end to rebates is about as evil as making them in the first place.
That's just mean!
Note to self: Call 666 on my phone and ask hell to reserve a spot for this son of a bitch right next to the lot reserved for Best Buy.
fucking time!
