How many people actually have a pirate copy like this? I've never heard of it, but I know lots of people who are running pirated/cracked versions of XP quite knowingly.
It's painful how true this post is. I work in an internal helldesk for a fairly well-known multinational company and about 50% of users mean IE when they say "the internet is broken." Excuse me, they actually say something like "the intarweb thingy don't work no more. Am I fired?"
I have the same problem, except now I'm diabetic, so I'd rather have a steak so I don't have to inject as much insulin as for apple pie (though I love it and miss it).
It sounds as though you have a bit of an anti-union bent going on there. Would you rather have poorly trained workers who are rather disgruntled because they don't get paid enough to feed their families and have to figure out how to pay for health insurance? My family has been made up of carpenters and other tradesmen for many years; we know what it's like to be on both sides.
Yes, here in the US we can use our own; cable modems typically run $60 or so at Best Buy. Almost every week they also run a promotion where you can get a free one after rebates if you are a new subscriber to a cable internet service.
On the other hand, I know that when I ran Charter I had to register my modem's MAC address, so I'm not sure how a spare would really help you unless you were willing to change it over every time there was an issue.
Duluth, MN - most theaters are $5 matinees or $7/7.50 (I forget exactly how much) for evening shows. Unfortunately they spread out the screenings by an extra 15 minutes for most shows so they can show their locally produced crappy ads for the dollar store that contain a very bitchy girl I went to high school with. I'm not bitter at all. . .

I'm still having trouble figuring out if/why anybody would want to hook up a $3000 display to a $700 computer.

Definitely a weird-ass suit. I want to know if this is a genuine problem or just another buzzword that somebody made up to make a lawsuit about.
I was going to offer a similar service, but I guess you pounced much earlier.
In Soviet Russia, ageism complains about you!
Amen. Keep letting people know that the two are not equal or even close.

Agreed. Wendy's triple cheese for lunch! Maybe I'll get a salad on the side to make myself feel better.

Amen brother. Let's all start a class-action lawsuit against Microshaft for that stolen disk space.
I hate EULAs as much as anybody, but they do have consideration. You paid money for the right to use the software, and they provided the software.
In Soviet Russia, gas pumps you!
