This reminds me of when I used to work at Best Buy. We had a manager there that HATED having open box TVs on the salesfloor. Therefore, if you approached him about it, and not any of the other managers, he would sell you the TVs UNDER cost. I bought a 30" HDTV for something like $449 with no physical damage and missing a remote (which I replaced with one off the shelf that was only a couple dollars after employee rebate). This deal is great when you consider the TV cost about $900 new and cost was over $600. Best Buy employees are supposed to pay 5% above cost but this guy just HATED those floormodels.
Not surprising.
Also, this is one spyware app I find almost everytime I "fix" someone's computer. It's very widespread among those who are idiots with their security.
I've read Jennifer Government and have even met Mr. Barry.
Before everyone reads your post, though, and runs out to get this book, I have something to say. Although the ideas and concepts and story in this book are excellent, it is NOT written well. The writing is very basic, and in no way more impressive than the papers I had to proofread in high school.
As has been said multiple times here and on previous stories, this does NOT include upgrades through the builtin upgrade utility nor does it have a way of counting one download used for many computers.
And if 5mb downloads are wasting your bandwith you might wanna find a new ISP.
I agree. Hillary and many other democrats have really dissapointed me lately and I'm very liberal. They are much too concerned with being centrist and attracting voters by catering to beliefs and demands that do not represent what the party is supposed to stand for. Maybe instead of becoming spineless they should stand for what they believe and simply show voters that they are right in those beliefs instead of just laying down and taking it.

Uh.. it is opensource...
I don't think considering EITHER of these technologies obsolete is fair.

So is this the beginning of the end for the ESRB having any real power?
