That makes me wonder - will this allow you to text for free over a Wi-Fi connection? That would be killer for college students attending schools with lots of wireless coverage.
I rather like them; they have saved me quite a bit of electricity. All I use electricity for is a refrigerator, lighting, and a couple of PCs, so they saved me about $5 monthly on a $28 bill. I don't really see what people complain about with poor quality light coming from these - they all seem fine to me.
As for disposal, just visit http://www.lamprecycle.org/ for assistance. Also, Xcel Energy has some coupons to make disposal a bit cheaper. Yes, I know people are going to bitch about having to pay extra to dispose of them, but for me, they've already more than paid for themselves.
I think the bigger the company and the bigger the product, the slower the upgrading process is.
I agree with the former, at least. I work for a fairly large organization where nothing terribly critical or large is running on Java, but they still won't standardize, so some things run JVM, some run 1.3, some 1.4, and several apps need specific patch levels of 1.3 or 1.4.
Working for a Fortune 500 company with lots of web-based apps, I can tell you that it breaks almost all of our web-based applications. Certainly our developers should not have relied on IE5/6 so much, but they did.
I prefer Eddie Izzard's ideas:

I would respectfully suggest you find a new company to work for then, or to start your own. I happen to work for one of the companies that Fortune named as a top 100 company to work for, and they treat me quite well, even on the helldesk. The money is good, hours are right at 40/week, and vacation time is ample, especially as your years of service go up.
I have worked on the other side of the fence as well, where I was an intern and expected to work 9+ hour days on weekends plus work really early and really late hours around my class schedule during the week. It sucked, but once I found a job with a real company post-graduation, things really started to look up. Good companies are out there, you just need to find one.
The contractor has no say in it. The architect specifies the mix of the concrete and they have to follow that. Once you take into account the fact that the mix is the same, concrete has very little variability in quality (as long as it's mixed well).
I know I've asked this before, but can we stop comparing computers and software to cars? The analogy is not an accurate one. In this case, you don't get asked if you agree to terms before using a gas pedal or back seat, otherwise some of us might not even exist.
Aha, you tricked my bleary morning eyes since you typed out ten instead of typing the digits like you did for your other numbers. My second comment stands.
Last I checked, minimum wage isn't $50 or else I have to have a little chat with my HR department. . .
In addition, I'd bet the only truly inefficient part of an older box is probably the monitor, as recent machines eat lots more power.
I have a specially-made rope here that I wrote "Monster Cable" on with a Sharpie that could keep your digital video experience from being ruined by oxygen. It could be yours for the low price of $150 (US Dollars, of course) and is guaranteed to keep any oxygen out of your experiences, video or otherwise.
Just as another annoying page-layout complaint, viewing in reading layout versus print layout and others results in different page layouts and even the number of pages in the document! SHouldn't the page be laid out as you wrote it no matter how you view it?
You know, I hadn't thought of that. In that case, I can only imagine that this would be useful for creating sensory deprivation tanks when combined with some form of sound insulation.

Well played, sir. . .well played.
Your mastery of the English language and sharp-tongued wit shall certainly serve to silence all your critics.
Why would you read this story then? You have to know that ACs are going to post them.

Not anymore - Best Buy almost never marks down an open item anymore. They only give you a gift card for $5-10 for buying an open-box item.

Sixteen cents per minute is not great, but that's not half bad for a smallish plan.
Isn't that spelled with a Q?
I have the exact same setup (albeit with the filterset updater) and I didn't notice a thing aside from what I wanted to watch on the site.

Both of those are usually quoted as an advantage for fiber. Maybe it's just me, but I don't remember splicing being an advantage to fiber.

How might somebody die looking at pr0n?
Oh come on, Offtopic? That definitely deserves a funny.

There simply isn't an adequate analogy for this situation, as nothing else is like an unsecured access point. Please stop comparing them as such.
