Congratulations on building some computers to bring a glimmer of hope to your otherwise dismal existence! Kudos! By the way, please provide me with the origianl license agreements for all copies of Windows 95 and Office 97 pronto, or we will also take $150,000 per copy. Also, may I suggest an upgrade to Win XP? Thanks!
Fuck you you fucking Arab. The blood of many Muslims and Arabs such as your self will soon be running through the streets of your hometown. America and American will NOT STAND FOR THIS. You fucking Muslims will soon find out how wrong you are about the almighty Allah and the rest of the garbage you preach. Enjoy HELL you motherfuckers.
Hi, I hate to say this, but everything that could go wrong did go wrong with the Dulux DVD story. First of all, the original/. story was interesting, and I think it definitely had a place here. But with so many red flags thrown up, I think anyone who ordered one got what they deserved. If a company has the know-how to build a DVD player, or even the know-how to import one and sell it in the US, then they should have a fully functional e-commerce site. It is not that difficult. I could not even begin to build a DVD player with all of those "amazing" features, and I can't code worth a lick, but I manage to successfully run a honest-to-goodness e-commerce site I built from scratch!

I accept Visa/MC/Amex/Discover, and anyone who purchases from me is covered by the same protection as if buying at their local retailer. It's just not that hard to put something professional together in the 21st century. A site that accepts PayPal as their main form of payment is either a. A Fraud or B. A person who doesn't take what they do seriously, and neither should you. For example, gooddealgames.com, of which there was recent news from because they are producing two new games for the old Sega CD system, accepts PayPal as their main payment service. I was ready to order from them until I saw that. You are telling me you can put into production/finish coding two 10 year old Sega CD games, but can't add a shopping cart to your site? But, I should have known when I visit their crappy site and loud, annoying MIDI fires up. C'mon guys!
Dude they have already sold out! They already are starting to return paid business links in search results! Now that Yahoo! charges $199 just to submit your site Google won't be far behind. I am sick of everyone talking about how Google is so anti-sellout. It's total BS. Google is just biding it's time to try to cash in when no one is looking. You are an idiot if you don't know this already.
Next thing you know they will be taking pictures of my license plate when I'm waiting outside the local junior high. this is getting crazy? now do i have to look over my shoulder and worry about getting arrested just because i am hanging out besides the dressing rooms at the kids gap for 4-5 hours a day? i mean seriously guys...this just doesn't make sense. If someone comes up to me in the arcade at the mall after schools get out and tell me to put my pants back on, then i am just going to kill myself. someone has to put a stop to this.
If you look at all the money that is flying around silicon valley then this deal looks pretty good if not great. First of all lets look at what businesses are paying firms to just come up with a business name and/or a domain name! Many, many companies are spending $1-2M just for a naming firm to come up with a load of (mostly) crap! US Air paid a naming firm (and I am sorry I forgot which firm) $1M and 9 months and guess what name they came up with at the end of this time? US AirWays! Thats it!! Seriously! And US Air is HAPPY about this! Next lets talk about the insane amounts of money Tech firms are spending on the superbowl. $4M for 1 minute. A couple of firms I am familiar with are spending $5-6M for pregame/gametime ads totaling 2-3 minutes of exposure. How much exposure is business.com getting for FREE in the news because of the price paid? I can already think of some great ads for business.com without hiring a PR firm! Like we are business (xyz company) BUSINESS.COM - for business on the internet...blah blah blah. The name infringes on no one, just a forward thinking guy bought business.com, decided not to develop it himself, and sold it for a pretty penny. I don't see anybody losing on this deal, and for the foreseeable future.COM addy's are the pinnacle man. Just my opinion on the thing, but I don't think anyone should criticize this deal. By the way I purchased the domain name WhyStudy.com recently and have started developing this site into an e-commerce site. What does anyone think of my domain name? I saw it and had to snatch it up - I would like to hear what people think of the domain name and my $70 investment! - Dave dave@whystudy.com
I only make like $32k (US) a year but I spend it all on women! Did you know if you pay hookers more they will tell you they love you? For a few moments in my dismal life I can be loved, until I have to go buy more crack for my "girlfriends". Also I have spent a small fortune on Swank mags and subscriptions to nasty web sites. Ciao! for some actual info - I make (take home)about 25k after taxes and deductions for insurance, 401(k), and all the rest. all i do is basic maintenance on a large company e-commerce site - very easy work and lots of freedom. I just turned down a job offering me more $ in a UNIX environment - but i stuck w/ the low stress job....
I work for a very, very large Christian company, and we name all servers and networked peripherals after bible names. You would be surprised how many there are! And it is pretty interesting stuff too, but the names get a little vague. For example my workstation runs on Habakkuk, which runs on Abimelech, which networks to the printer Nebuchadnezzar. (I am not making this up!) Oh, and by the way, I prefer the user name God.
I solved the problem of being lonely! I made a little dress fro my right hand, and little versions of a picnic setup, and other fun things. So I take my "date" on little mini dates, and there is usually a good chance that I will score! But sometimes I get her dress all messy.
I am used to a company dangling a carrot in front of me and then snatching it away, but this shit was rediculous. I ordered the G4 because I thought I would be able to have a top of the line graphics station because some people in the world use computers to make money. Instead they drop my order and tell me to buy something less for the same money? Well Apple, go fuck yourself. I took on work expecting to receive a G4, and now I have to play catch up. Fuck Apple - I am sticking to PC's.

That is because you are an idiot! Why would you do this? Go to hell!
