That is because you aren't always shown the price from Amazon.com, but rather one of the sellers on their marketplace. And then if you view it again, it could choose another one of the sellers. It doesn't always give you the absolute lowest price of the sellers, so you can view all of them and compare prices. I typically avoid those sellers unless they are fulfilled by Amazon (So it is prime eligible), even then I look at the alternatives. After a few rough RMA problems with Newegg, I don't trust them at all.
So she is being blackmailed into a $3500 fine by Kleargear.com, and the post cannot be removed because RipoffReport.com is blackmailing her for $2000. I wonder if she should write a ripoff report about RipoffReport.com on RipoffReport.com.:)
If only we could get the government to create some sort of area to the side of the road so people can pull over and take care of whatever they need to do.....
You can still do that with Win8...
WinKey - Type printer, Down arrow twice to search Settings.. Ignorant and/or stupid "geeks" passing out advice. Lol.
I agree. Only 1 out of 10/. users posts something even relative to the article. 1 out of 10 of those users that posted about the article even have something insightful or interesting to say.
Although a lot of people are skeptical about this, I can only hope it will lead to something good, but the thing is, how do you fully automate something like this without having a "Review team" to verify that it is truly a malicious software.
The only way to do that is to line the programmers who create such malicious software up against a wall and execute them.
It doesn't matter what platform or piece of software, there will always be bugs or exploits.. Microsoft just tends to create an excessive amount of holes and exploits:P But we wouldn't have to worry about it if there wasn't anybody to take advantage of it. The fact is that most people act like idiots and immoral due to the anonymous nature of the internet. (Assuming that the ISPs don't already log every key you type and site you go to and send it out to the NSA)
Wine, VirtualPC.
So basically anytime anyone releases a piece of software that is not compatible with my OS or configuration, it's illegal and unfair?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but that's ridiculous.
So, along the same lines, GM spends millions of dollars on engines and "gives" them away when you buy the body of the car.
Microsoft is not saying that you can't use Google search, that the default is MSN and can be changed to whatever you want. So according to your analogy, if I have a GM with an older model engine, I can go to the dealership and they will give me a new one?
What would you say if Ford decided that it would tell consumers that only Mobil gas will work in their car? This is collusion. There are many legal instances where this is illegal. Remember, the phone company used to rent you the phone because they told people that other non-Bell phones would burn down your house. What I don't understand is why if we have so much precedent elsewhere is it not just applied to the computer industry.
I didn't see anywhere in the article of Microsoft saying that if you don't use MSN search, your browser would stop working...
A VoIP call is typically only using 8 KB/s over a WAN connection (Internet). But that depends a lot on the Codec that is being used. So no it will not clog up the lines unless you start having people using a server farm with autodialers to do cold call marketing.
As of right now, it would be stupid to not have a Landline for Emergency purposes. While Vonage and other VoIP providers are required to properly handle 911 calls so the 911 center knows exactly where you are calling from, as someone mentioned before, if your power is out, you are out of luck unlike with a Landline where the phone power comes in over the phone line.
So in other words you would rather they didn't put a fraud lock on your account so some guy can cash a bunch of checks on your account and leave you with nothing? Uh.. ok. You don't like security do you?
Geez, even a few years back, most any waiter in a restaurant could explain a dish on the menu or special..of late, I've asked about a special, and they didn't have a fucking clue....had to go back and ask every time. This was not a new trainee either from what I could tell...just lazy. I'm a generous tipper...very generous, but, shit like that really does hurt what I give.
I knew a girl that worked at an Olive Garden, and she wasn't even the waitress, but only the seater. They would give free meals to their employees whenever they want so they can try out dishes and learn them, especially when a new dish comes out. I'm not sure if that is still the case since it's been 3 years, and considering every business has cut down on training to increase their profit margin.
Yeah that really threw my guild a loop. But it's so easy to dodge Deep Breaths anyway that it wasn't too big of a deal.
I don't think they are fully documenting their patches.
Exactly, too many companies are getting away with spamming. I remember the days of the internet where you didn't have to worry about your email being filled up with crap.
It costs networks a lot of money, so are these companies sending out reimbursement to ISPs that have to deal with the network usage of spam? No, because they don't care and are immoral.
More restrictions! Heavier fines!
The problem with the "Customer is number one", is that so many customers take it too literal and whine and scream for the impossible and that the company is supposed to bend over backwards to make that one customer happy, even if it requires a whole new product development, just so that one customer can get some small stupid thing they want.
But regarding the Protocols, Interoperability is a key feature for network protocols, I really don't know how Microsoft can continue with proprietary stuff like that.
Wow, so basically one of those lawsuits against Microsoft now hurts the End User.
Just goes to show Microsoft shouldn't copy other people's designs and make their own to prevent this kind of problem.
And that's why you went back to using "M$", welcome to 2006. That was used years ago.
But I do agree, they care about themselves, of course you can't really expect them to do otherwise. They are a corporation. That's just how corporations work.
I doubt they will do much other than sitting there observing what's going on. I'm sure the others on the committee are already going to be critical of Microsoft.

"Just what kind of code were you writing that you needed to completely rewrite it for Windows 7???" Apparently really bad code.

Yeah, because Titanic wasn't hugely popular and nobody had any idea that over a thousand people were going to die.
Oh, it was your "friend". You can just admit it is you, we won't care. No need to say it is a friend.
You can still do that with Win8... WinKey - Type printer, Down arrow twice to search Settings.. Ignorant and/or stupid "geeks" passing out advice. Lol.
WinKey + Type first 4 letters of the program + Enter Done and faster than clicking...
p> If they'll fix the user interface, I'll probably skip 8 and upgrade to 9 at some point.
Isn't Windows 8 just Windows 7 + metro? If they "fix" 8, then 9 is just a rerelease of 7.
Yes, but stupid users are stupid. "Derp, Windows 8 has a desktop?"
Diablo 3... Simcity....
The Adult Entertainment Industry will be investing millions of dollars into this technology.. Just you wait..
Yes, because that is how women get pregnant. Not by intercourse, but the sperm left on laptops...
Every job I have ever had requires the SSN card for verification.
