Anon was right. Higher demand given the same supply raises prices.
Think about it logically: If nobody wants it (i.e., no demand) you can't charge much for it. Obviously you can't enter mass production if your market is for a total of five units, but that's a separate issue entirely.

What they ended up doing is giving us two user accounts, one was low-level which was our regular account then a high-level that we switch to when we needed local admin rights for doing installs.
This seems to be what Vista's UAC is perfect for! Just type in your password when you want to install something on your limited account...
To all the people suggesting PE discs - what AV do you use? The vast majority simply do not work in a preboot environment. The ones that do tend to be old versions, which are about as helpful in removing real threats as a dull knife.
In my experience, the overwhelming majority of viruses are removed by MalwareBytes in safe mode. The ones that aren't leave signs that MalwareBytes can detect (infections it can't delete or that reappear, etc.) The paranoid can confirm with a packet sniffer.
If you really want to be paranoid, get a USB => IDE/SATA adapter from newegg. Pop out the hard drive and hook it up to a clean machine. Mount the registry hives using regedit, and do a scan with your favorite AV product. No relying on a potentially rooted machine, and no relying on an old/gimped AV product that works in a preboot environment.
It is a federal court hearing matters of federal patent law. And like all federal courts, its decisions are appealable to a Federal Court of Appeals.
Yes, but parent was wondering why this one particular Federal court always seems to rule differently despite all that. Maybe they should have their drinking water checked, or flouridated, or something.
In defense of the advertisers, how are they supposed to know how loud the commercials should be?
They aren't. The network is.
Now, nobody's saying that marketers are less than human and deserve to be marched into the ocean, but there's no reason why the network can't apply some volume normalization. Or why the network has to purposefully crank up the relative volume of their ads. Or why televisions or HTPCs can't do volume normalization.
It's strangely appropriate that Neo, when he went to see the Oracle to find out that he is The One, was also shown that the reality he was constantly presented with was simply a computer manipulation. This is why "there is no spoon" was such a critical piece of the Matrix puzzle. There may be no spoon, but there can still be a fork.
Like mister_playboy, I really don't consider "auto update" a feature. I uninstalled Chrome and installed SRWare Iron instead because I do not want some braindead Google Update service running constantly.
But, Iron also removes the browser's unique identifier and provides a proper installer (Chrome will only install per-user, in their profile).
If you're thinking about Chrome, get Iron instead. It supports AdBlock.
The closest thing I can think of is the Asus N10J. Netbook form factor with atom processor, but a regular hard drive, 2 GB of memory, and NVIDIA G105M 512MB graphics. Cost ~$700 when it came out.
But in general, "netbook" seems to be a more attractive term than "lowest-spec laptop money can buy."
That's the one and only given. If you don't exist, how are you debating whether you exist or not? "I think, therefore I am."
Now, you cannot prove that anything you perceive is "real," that other people exist, that you're not in the Matrix waiting to be freed, etc.
However, the pragmatist school of thought goes, "Well, s'ok. What difference does it make?" You can't prove that your reality isn't real, and you can't live your life as if it isn't, so it only makes since to proceed normally and assume your life is real.
A refinement of that the used on occasion was to issue a bomb warning in one place then blow up the place people were most likely to evacuate to.
In high school, I had a rather unique psychology teacher. He was reading the new tornado/fire/zomgterrorist/bad weather protocols to the students; boredom had already crept into his voice.
After reading that we all evacuate to the bleachers outdoors in the event of a bomb threat he said, "Well, that's stupid. If I was planting a bomb, I'd put it right there and phone it in!
You're correct as far as saying that web apps could use the GPL or other licenses. However, I believe the problem is that the GPL only covers distribution, and an app sitting on your server and your server only is not being "distributed."
Putting contacts in isn't so bad. They're 90% water, they feel comfortable when you're putting them in (and when they're in), and you only have to get them near your eye (you don't have to touch your eye for them to go in.
Taking contacts out is different. At first, I had a little problem with the idea of pinching anything so close to my eye. And then there were a few times that they had fallen out, and I hadn't realized it x.x
I think you're just an idiot. If you find any police presence in Germany (Europe) more threatening than *anything* in the US, you're out of your mind.
The German police certainly sound more threatening. A friend of mine spent the summer there, and saw lots of police with automatic weapons, grenades, bandoleers, the whole nine yards. Stateside, that level of armament means either a SWAT team or the regular military.
German police: definitely more "threatening." Not necessarily any more dangerous, but definitely more threatening.
IIRC, the President can sign whatever treaties he wants - but Congress still has to vote them into law, somewhat like a regular bill. This means that, say, Obama could sign this treaty and Congress could totally ignore it.
If Congress did sign the treaty into law, the Supreme Court could overturn the law that actually makes the treaty binding... but only if it is challenged, and the challenge gets to the Supreme Court.

Is there a web site showing the demographics of masturbating?
Any solid-color map you have ever seen does. The one color represents 100% of the population. These are called relief maps.

It seems they prefer Japanese: link (Probably NSFW)
The linked website is somewhat biased, however. And creepy.

Try AdSweep. Don't know if it works on the Mac/Linux versions, but it works on version 4 of the Windows build.

Stunned silence.
IF they did get the AI working, they'd have the "Eden" search engine from Eden of the East.
Although admittedly, Eden just let you tag people and objects, not search for them.
Too bad I have no idea wth QT means.
It refers to someone attractive.
Or, to not purchase an Xbox 360, for the same reasons.

Long troll is long, but hear this: Until the year of the Linux on the desktop, all Linux security is "security through obscurity." :P
I hope that's an SI unit, else you run the risk of offending the metric nazi's ;)
Naw, that's not offensive.

A thinkpad isn't made with the intent of bashing someone's head into a pulp.
Sure it is. There is no legitimate reason anyone could need a laptop that durable. We must ban Thinkpads.
