I got a follow up phone call 8 months later. Dare I say I was stunned! I know it was 8 months later, and the person who called me worked for some vendor trying to clear the backlog of emails, but it's nice to know they didn't just delete it.
That magical sign next to the 1000 denoting money is not the dollar sign. I know its hard for many to realize there is money out there other than the US dollar, and that other nations just put different symbols to give it local flavor.
http://www.x-rates.com/ would tell you that £1000 is about $1800. Which would replace not only my 4 year old PC, but my camera, speakers, and LCD. And I would smile as they hand over the money.
It broke my MP3 player to a point where I had to mail it to the manufacturer and they wiped it's memory. I got a place where you can put your DRM, it's generally dark and not accessible while pants are on.
Next time that bully is beating you up for your lunch money, it won't be because he feels academically challenged and has all this repressed anger. It will be cause he is an asshole.
It's not a virtual marketplace anymore. They tell you what you can and can't sell, they tell you how you can sell it and how you can collect payment. And on top of that they charge you more and more. Hardly sounds like a marketplace to me.
I have many left-leaning views, but I tend to agree with your argument. And having spent many years in U.S., I have grown to respect and cherish the right to own firearms. Though I do not currently own a firearm, knowing that I could if I so chose to gives me a measure of comfort.
The main cause of crime will always remain poverty resulting from unfair dissemination of wealth. U.S. is only too apt to keep the margin between wealthy and poor very high. So crime in general will remain high. And as a result all forms of crimes will too. And given how most people are locked into their neighborhood by their income bracket, such pockets of poverty only exacerbate the problem, and very often blur the lines between the perpetrator and the victim.
So please stop your self-righteous, know it all attitude. Gun laws have very little to do with crime in the U.S. The high level of crime is the result of unique social-economic situation present here. And as such cannot be fixed as easily as simple law banning gun ownership.
I read in some article that even thou he used a proxy, he posted screenshots which listed the address of the proxy... which would be retarded, unless it was a fake address that was intentionally posted and was in fact different.
Seriously when was the last time they had to advertise? I don't remember if ever. Why is this going on? Is Vista not selling well and they think tossing some bills into the fire will make things better? Did it take them this long to figure out their business model is not working? Almost everyone in America who would want a computer has one, and they are not into buying new one every 18 months. Why would they want a new OS?
breed. I think that would go a long way towards catching whoever does it. I live in an urban area and I have no sympathy for anyone who leaves their dog shit everywhere. I think they should be fined and jailed for first offense.
You don't have to outlaw guns to prosecute people for killing someone with a gun. Just like you don't have to outlaw cars so you can prosecute people for drunk driving into pedestrians. Make better laws.
For affordable price give them less than they will need. For little more money, give them too much. They won't use 50% of the product, but who cares, you get extra money you wouldn't if you charged a fair price for the right amount of product. It is one thing that outrageous everywhere I go. From the 3 cup sizes at the movie theater, to cellphone plans, I get more and more agitated. I know I'm not the only one. How long before we rise up and outlaw marketing as a major?
If she is sending the emails to Public accounts how is she hiding them? I'm not internet wizard, but wouldn't the recipient have the email?! Wouldn't the smoking gun be let's say an email to Dick Cheney "ihuntwithguns@yahoo.com" that contained discussion on matters relating to the her work?
I mean maybe she isn't the brightest apple on the tree, and she has no idea that the communication can be monitored at both ends. Or maybe she is an evil mastermind that will get out of any probe by claiming it is in public record cause of the recipient. Either way there is more to the story.
I know this sounds crazy, but the battery is probably the heaviest component in a laptop. If you seriously don't need it, take the damn thing out. Also wasn't there a piece a while back about cordless delivery of power to electronic appliances? Something like that would make batteries all but obsolete.
Power users no doubt use the internet the most during off-peak hours cause they know you can't do anything worthwhile while Joe Dirt checks his 5 shares of Intel to see if he is rich yet every 5 minutes. Given your crappy experience with internet, why would you think someone can magically use more of it than you at the same time? It's not possible really.
What I don't get is why does someone who barely uses the internet have to pay $50 a month?
You know very little about the original Jumpgate so I will address your silly comments.
The original had Newtonian Physics. This made flying and fighting very hard for new players, it just had an incredible learning curve which threw new players out of the game. To combat this they introduced special thrusters which added a form of drag in the new game to make flying a bit more bearable. And also it will make breaking far less tedious.
Are you serious about the sound? Why would anyone want to play a game without sounds? That's just silly
Original jumpgate had many views, the old over the shoulder view made it impossible to fly in it without crashing into things and getting lost. I am glad that's changed for sure. I believe the devs rational was that they wanted people to see the ships they were flying. Wither way I'm sure you will be able to set cockpit view if you are dying for it.
I recall Civilization 4 expansion being released early in Australia by a good week. I was very pissed about that cause I preordered it. Then when it was finally my turn I went to pick it up, and some GameStop Douche sold it to another person...

I used to have 6 digit number, forgot the password and I wiped my drive :/ Still use ICQ thou. No I don't get spam, others must not be using it right.

It's not a problem at slashdot. We don't read the articles anyway. It's your own fault for following the link and wishing to be informed!

Is that their monthly fee?

Here is something your smart ass probably didn't know: if you have no access to a gun you can still kill someone! Wow, what a shocker!
You don't have to outlaw guns to prosecute people for killing someone with a gun. Just like you don't have to outlaw cars so you can prosecute people for drunk driving into pedestrians. Make better laws.

Orderly CreatioN, depending on who wins the Presidential race.
A scapegoat.
I didn't need a study to tell me this...
I know this sounds crazy, but the battery is probably the heaviest component in a laptop. If you seriously don't need it, take the damn thing out. Also wasn't there a piece a while back about cordless delivery of power to electronic appliances? Something like that would make batteries all but obsolete.
I agree. It was an elaborate land grab.
Power users no doubt use the internet the most during off-peak hours cause they know you can't do anything worthwhile while Joe Dirt checks his 5 shares of Intel to see if he is rich yet every 5 minutes. Given your crappy experience with internet, why would you think someone can magically use more of it than you at the same time? It's not possible really.

Instead of throwing money away at stupid promotions, why don't you put the money into the game and make it not suck so much?
