Navigation Technologies (NAVTEQ) was great at fixing a street by my house where a g was accidentally replaced by a q in their map (and Tom Tom and MapQuest).
I reported it and signed my name and they actually looked up my phone number and called me. I was surprised to get a call from them, but they were on top of it and it's changed now.
The Wired article is wrong. My wife made a CD and pressed 1000 professional copies of the CD. She sold over 500 of them at gigs (and gave another 400 away to people in the business). SHE MADE A PROFIT ON HER CD. We made more money selling the CD than we spent on making it.
Only one copy would show up on SoundScan because it was sold by CDBaby. The rest would never show up because she sold them herself at concerts, Borders, churches, etc. and they were never barcode scanned.
By Wired's logic, Dave Matthews Band was a complete failure until they signed with a large record label.
Actually, a torrent release HELPS the good movies... Even mediocre movies like Wolverine benefitted from pre-release. Only the truly bad movies where every patron feels duped out of their $10 suffer.
The number one thing I got out of the article is that if you buy a Mac, you can pay through the nose for a 2-year-old below-average SSD that performs the same as a modern HDD.
All of us in this country knew about it already, but we don't want to get in trouble for harassing a government employee through e-mail. You can get arrested for that, you know.
And to make a video of a public official screwing up? That really takes guts...

In Kentucky, Tom Tom told us to cut through some farm roads to get to another highway. We figures it saved us about 90 minutes.
They're probably the only state teaching the truth about Columbus instead of the liberal native-subjugating BS that only came after him.
Your rocks came flat?
OK, I always find this funny. Of all the sites I go to, the only ones that don't work in Firefox are government sites.
Return them and tell Verizon that you're returning them because of the eFuse.

Wow. You could report her for a HIPAA violation.
"Microsoft needs new developers that are hip, not developers that need a new hip."
(An homage to my favorite joke on Home Improvement.)
But then they go to prison and make nothing for the next 5-10 years.

Get the non-time-travel option. It takes a lot less gigawatts.
Isn't that the same as they are doing?
I, for one, am not threatened by their speech or ideals, even though I don't agree with them.
Is the religion in the second case atheism? Because I'm pretty sure that they were planning to teach both sides...
Death by a thousand cuts is still death.
Why is this modded Offtopic? It shows how Comcast is already abusing a monopoly position on something, which is the fear of the article.
Cue Edison's estate's lawyers in 3, 2, 1...

We recently watched "State of Mind" on Netflix Instant Streaming for Memorial Day, so my kids could see why fighting for freedom is so important.
It's just sad how brainwashed everyone is. (Not that you aren't in America if you listen blindly to the media.)
But if you want to see what goes on in North Korea (in 2004), take a peek.

You're too humble. Your spelling is fine is both posts and your writing was clear and informative. Stop beating yourself up.
And comparing GIMP to Photoshop differs how? Unfortunately, this type of thing is very typical of Linux fanboys.
How is this "Insightful"?
3G means "3rd generation" and 4G means "4th generation". It's that simple.
