I see no problem with this. If you want to send out mass mailings, you pay for it. Someone has to. For my regular email usage, not a problem. Besides, all of my email is free at yahoo or goes through my work.
As long as I can go to my local grocery store and rent a 99 cent first run movie and play it on my $40 player I will use the technology. Otherwise, I will stop watching movies unless the come to regular TV.
The next step is to totally isolate the Chinese from the rest of the world
I say we shut them off of our Internet. We don't need their crap any more that we need the junk they make. I always look for alternative to products made in China.
It is about the mighty dollar!
Support is costly. It is cheaper and easier to support the most popular OS than to support two. They don't want the expense of support Linux.
$399.99 # Vista Business - XP Pro
$499.99# Vista Enterprise - XP Pro with enterprise utilities that people have been wanting
$199.99 # Vista Home Basic - for grandma's aging PC that won't run the latest, greatest stuff
$299.99 # Vista Home Premium - Essentially the replacement for XP MCE.
$699.99 # Vista Ultimate - XP Pro for home users
$189.99 # Vista Starter - for when even Basic won't run on your PC.
This price schedule works for me
I won't buy any of them.
Perfect10 are idiots in this case. By suing over this, they will ruin their own chance of even being indexed by search engines and therefore loose traffice. What morons!
Does that include the company that buys 500 servers from Dell that only sells with Windows which was then deleted and Linux put on those machines. I think that the sales numbers do not reflect operational numbers. It sucks when you have to buy the OS you don't want just to get a good deal on common machines with support.
I can see nothing the M$ did on the 360 that is going to make them more competitive. The audience is still too narrow and game prices are still to high. Most of the older games have to be thrown away becuase they don't work on it. They haven't made any money yet, what make anyone think that they will this time?
It is not about regulating morality. It's about money. No U.S. government agency can track you income to tax you on big winnings and the casinos are not paying taxes either. So by making it illegal, you have to waste your money on other things that they can tax you on.
Great, now everyone can get thier porn anywhere on the go.
The problem here is that there is no CyberSitter softare so I cannot let my boys use the browser. How many other kids are on the internet without protection. It is too easy to accidently get content they don't want or I don't want them to have. My oldest was looking for pictures of banana cream pie. Do you want to guess what CyberSitter filtered off that you could have ended up with?
Wrong the DS is usable at any 802.11b WiFi access point. By boy's unit is online at home, in the mall, at Starbuchs, and anywhere they find an open WiFi.
"The findings support the argument for global warming as a result of human interference rather than natural climate change."
This is like taking a one gallon sample of the stagnant pond and concluding that the only life on Earth is single celled organisms. The Earth is how old? What is the percentage of time of information available. And, how much of the surface was tested? Less than half.
I have had about all of the junk science I can stand. We need some real sceintist making real conclusions.
The one thing they must do is make is so that all PS2 games will work on it. Mos PS-x games need to work as well. This was something they did well with PS2. PS2 game consoles are starting to wear out so of course when ours does I will buy a PS2, if it is truly compatible. If not, I will buy a PS2 somewhere because it is much cheaper.
The other features will become important over time and even desirable by adults. Only time will tell.
It seems to me that if your finances are at stake here, you would buy and rely on the support of trusted sofware. M$ and Quicken have been at this for years and it is thier business. They support the customer (well, at least Quicken anyway). This is one plays that gnu will not succeed.
How many times do you watch a movie. Once, and I know it from end to end. The crime is solved, the mystery is over, the scare is gone, the joke is old. How many times do you read the same novel?
Only those who truly have no life watch the same movie multiple times.
Rent it once for $0.99 at the grocery store and watch it once. Any more than that and you are flushing your money down the toilet.
"But as usual, a few extremists can make a lot of people look bad."
Then why aren't there millions of muslims speaking out for a stop to the violence of the few extremeists? Where are the muslims that speak out and fight for freedom from the terrorists?
I'll tell you where they are. They are at home cheering on and financing the terrorists!
This is so typical. I, the customer that pays their saleries, want google on my service. But wait, google is making money from my usage of the service so, screw the customer by blocking the service or even doubling the cost of the service because now, I have to pay google so they can pay the provider that I am already paying for. Any provider that pulls this stunt needs to be boycotted by the costomers at all costs.
Leave it to junk scientist to make connections where none exists.
Common elements of humans found in rocks. Have we evolved from a common ancestor?
Scientists have discovered that the fundimental building blocks in humans is common to all rock formations. The atoms of some structures of rock formations have been discovered in human DNA. This list includes atoms souch as oxygen and sodium.
These companies are already making huge profits from it's customers. Now they want to squeeze even more from us. They just want to squeeze all they can.
If they do pull this off, we will see something new pop up that will beat the bandwidth limitation they have and suck away thier profits.
"profit margins are too small to fact check "non-fiction" books"
Sound to me like they just want to keep larg profit margins and really don't want them any smaller. I still hold the publisher responsible for errors in books published as facts.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

This has to rate as one of the dumbest ideas so far this year.

I blame SCO
Pointing the finger of blame is 4/3rds of the battle.

Maybe if I had time, I would read the book!

Which is why I use TurboTax Deluxe for $20. It takes less time the H&R Block, I'm in control and it found deductions that the buld tax preparers miss.
