I know a few middle-class comedians (all living in New York). NONE of them live in medium-size one bedroom apartments. One of them lives alone, and it is in practically a closest. Do you have any idea how much apartments cost in big cities, and how much comedy clubs pay? Until you can get corporate gigs and afford a good agent that seems a bit out of reach.
I think TV and movies really adds to this problem too. Name one TV show where the family lives in a house or an apartment realistic for what the income level for their job should be. They aren't given this misinformation only through school, but outside of it through mainstream entertainment.
Interface. To me that is asking a question akin to "I have a scrolling device and a button, why do I need all these other keys?". I can just scroll to character I want and select it! Plus I don't think you can use all of the corelocation features, or the coregraphic features, or the coreaudio features, with a web app.
The big problem is I think they are smarter than that. They don't blindly arrest you just because the computer blipped your name, instead they put a spook on you and tap your phone. If they don't see anything in a few weeks it is noted and dropped. If you send a text that says "The wedding cake is ready" without them having anything about a wedding in the file and at least you and the recipient is arrested.
Except they are basing the costs on their expenses, not on the sales potential. Chuck Palahniuk is priced the same as J.K. Rowling which is the same as R.A. Salvatore - even though they have completely different sale potentials.
You're looking at a resellers price, not the producer. There are still difference, but it is due to the cost for the producer (the big literary figure causes a higher cost for production). The price is in no way based on content, it is based the same way an OEM prices their products.
There is actually a balance between the two. The Congresscritters need both votes and money to survive, so when an election is near letter writing campaigns can be very effective - it takes more effort to write a letter than most people are willing to put in (it is much easier just to punch the card next to the other guys name) so a letter represents more potential votes than the letter writer alone.
You obviously never had an original GameBoy. I had one that was handed down to me from my brother, both of us abused it pretty badly. I rediscovered it when visiting my parents a few weeks back, popped four batteries in, and the thing still works exactly as I remember. If I recall right someone had one that survived an explosion in the Gulf War too. I think it might take a silver bullet to the screen to kill one of those suckers.
This is what I was told when I was a runner. The physical therapists had massages that would create tons of pain, but explained that the reason for this pain is they were creating new tears and expanding the ones caused by the work out while at the same time pushing lactic acid out of the muscle. Flushing out the lactic acid was supposed to help the rips heal faster (I have no idea if that part is true or not).
I have been able to transfer music, even protected music, between two computers have have it work in itunes (as long as it was connected to my account). I never said I used iTunes to move the music, just that I have never had iTunes delete music after moving it to another.
I've never heard of anyone accidentally erasing music on iTunes (and I have always been able to transfer music between computers - hasn't 5 always been the limit with a warning when you exceed it?), but what software MP3 player looks like Windows or follows the guidelines? When I was a windows user I remember Windows Media Player being an incredibly frustrating and confusing package (prompting the creation of Media Player Classic - which was tolerable but not good for much besides playback). As a Windows user I jumped onto iTunes early, for it was the first player that organization made sense (and I didn't have to organize my own folders anymore, a huge bonus).
This has the major flaw of assuming you get a cheaper rate if you provide your own phone. Almost everywhere I've looked has standard plans. If you sign a one or two year contract you can get a cheap or discounted phone. If you don't sign the contract the plan is still the same amount. So the question become do I think I'll be with them for at least the length of the contract, if I do then it makes sense to get better phone out of the deal.
Eh, I'm not so convinced. Apple has been very quick to abandon technologies, both created by them and others (they were among the first to stop having floppy drives, first to have firewire, and their ADP port lasted maybe one generations of Macs). Apple is trying to constantly push for higher standards and better interfaces - sometimes this is in your best interest, sometimes its not, and sometimes they miss the mark completely.
Actually if you read the article they claim most of these accounts are started using credit fraud. Last I looked, you don't make money when you are a victim of fraud.
The point is that Intel charges more for the SAME ATOM CHIP if you are using it for a device with a 12" screen. That basically forces it to be less profitable.
Because that is NOT a superior experience. You have to drive without a window or an screwed up door, you have the risk of getting beat down by the owner or the police, and there are a host of other problems (most notably convenience, the main factor cited above). The thief experience is, in most cases, not superior. People who take the thief road usually choose it if it because it can be lucrative, at the convenience/comfort level it is usually called petty larceny.
Really? Have you used a mac recently? To rename a file on mac you just click the name twice and type in the new name. To backspace you just hit the delete key, no need to hold command (in fact command delete deletes the entire line). To run a program hit the icon on the dock, or hit command space and start typing the name, or navigate in finder as you said. I don't understand how you can be productive on a program-centric OS. I am MUCH more productive in document centric environments, and especially ones with multiple desktops and an expose like function.
I think this is one of those economist vs engineer vs mathematician things. If what you were studying had lumens as an important factor I'm sure your definition would closer to "electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength lying in (approximately) 380-750nm range with a lumen output of (approximately) 1/10-50,000 lumens".
Having grown up in a family involved in different areas of the Ag industry, I am going to call bullshit. The biggest factor in corn pricing is government subsidies (I have a relative that is paid NOT to harvest 60+ acres of corn). Regarding fertilization, if you use too much nitrogen in corn it grows too fast and thin and collapses on itself, making it un-harvestable. Regarding cattle, the corn used for cattle more often than not is a lower grade than that sold for human consumption (worm and parasite infestations aren't as important if you're grinding it all up into gruel). Yes, oil and corn are related. No, it is not a direct relationship. It is more like how the sales of new cars effect the price of cattle (there is a clear effect, but it is not a direct, 1:1 relationship).
Wouldn't this be DFARS? I work for a company that supplies government and defense contractors, and all the government requires ITAR while all the defense requires DFARs.

You depending on how you have it set up you can either tap with two fingers, or hit the button we two fingers on the trackpad.

Oops, I meant ADC. I thought it was Apple Display Port, but apparently it is Apple Display Connector.

Sorry, I assumed Slashdot was using the same sources at the TechCrunch article I read earlier. You can read it at their site.

Yeah, but that doesn't count because it is the exception that proves the rule.

Note what the parent to your comment said, evidence. I can allegations are not evidence.
