Happily, I read down the thread this far instead of rushing out to get a few square meters of double sided tape and a half a million dragonfly wings... thanks for saving my time and I'm pretty sure all the dragonflies that won't have to walk home would also be appreciative.
Unless Toshiba actually agrees to assume the liabilities of OCZ (and WHY would they do that?) then no, the obligation to cover old products is not transferred. If a building contractor goes belly up and you buy his assets (materials, vehicles, tools & equipment, unsold inventory, client lists, etc.) that does not make you responsible for work he did in the past. Now, "if" you keep the brand alive you would most likely have to stand behind previous commitments, but again WHY would Toshiba do that? Toshiba is solid and OCZ is on fire. Toshiba will gain new IP and physical plants and resources and OCZ will be ash. Shareholders will get pennies on the dollar, customers will get screwed without lube. For warranty inquiries, contact the bankruptcy trustee.
Lol -- psychiatrists and psychologist doing experiments. It's is a weak science at its best; a modern day priesthood at its worst.
For your heresy and disbelief you have been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic! We will monitor you to see if medication will be adequate to silence you, I mean, control your symptoms...
I bet Rahm Emanuel still has a federal ID. Current Mayor, former White House Chief of Staff.
I would be really surprised to see him on the L, even if he could ride for free... unless it was a photo op and this all sounds like they won't be bragging about anything for awhile.
Now, now - stop exaggerating. Corporations aren't allowed to simply buy elections. There is an approved bidding process. Candidates are shown off like prized cattle, and the corporations have to attend the auction, make their bids, then wait for election day to find whether their bids were successful. One does NOT simply waltz in, choose his candidate, and purchase him!
It is more like a whore house by proxy. Candidates are preened, paraded, even seduced... but it's the constituents that get screwed...
A proxy would be pretty easy to spot and block. Many different accounts logging on from the same IP sticks out quite a bit.
A hotel basement location might make them think guests are playing... It also provides a simple way to monetize the service, you "rent a room" and get a connection...
(long story short: shattering a holy statue, or decapitating buddah is going to piss some people off).
Of sure, but it's OK to show off Abe Lincoln's hollowed out head... http://3d.si.edu/explorer?modelid=27 even after his discisive intervention at the Battle of the Smithsonian... on the other hand he left Ben Stiller alive so now I'm conflicted...
Of all the people I know, the only ones that want to do photoshoppy stuff are indeed artists... not counting non ordinary techies who manipulate images all the time, you know... us. The rest all want to crop a photo, fix some red eye, or compose a card for a birthday or Christmas. Giving THOSE ordinary folks GIMP or Photoshop is like giving someone a class 4 laser to heat a cup-of-noodles, they can do it if they learn how but there are easier ways to reach their goal. Most of them have software from either a printer CD or a camera CD that will have a basic photo editor simple enough to work for almost anything they need... The minute you get into layers and adding or removing items or people from images we are no longer talking about ordinary people. For those few GIMP might be a good fit, but the last time I used it the UI needed the same amount of dedication and rigor as Photoshop... Good, Powerful Software, but not for the ordinary computer user.
This is what too many on/. don't get. It's not about whether or not YOU can access the appropriate installer. Of course you can, else chances are greater than not that you wouldn't be here.
The question is about the ordinary folk and I'm sorry, they aren't going to use bittorrent.
Last time I checked, GIMP was not a program for "ordinary folk". Not that Photoshop is either. I do like the direct FTP distribution idea, if they can work a browser they can get the file... as long as someone is paying for the bandwidth.
I ride a bike almost daily and I would really like it if most of the cars around me were aware of my cycle regardless of the state of cognition, competency, or even consciousness of the human operator. Not saying I would inspire less panic braking... just saying it would be nice if it was automatic...
i just want to understand how do americans get so fat?
A book called "Eat to Live" explains the issue quite well. Dr. Joel Fuhrman points out why our diets cause weight gain and how to fix it... but most people would rather die. The book is well worth a read and available at libraries as well as bookstores.
Sage advice! One wouldn't want to leave their ass just sticking up all unprotected... OK, Most of us wouldn't want to leave their ass just sticking up all unprotected... OK, Many of us wouldn't want to leave their ass just sticking up all unprotected... OK, At least SOME of us wouldn't want to leave their ass just sticking up all unprotected... OK, So is it dry or wet sand?

You mean to tell me, when WOPR was busy looking for the launch code in Wargames, it was all a bunch of crap?
They forgot to tell you that if you dial "1" you get a brand new world.
All I know is that every time I dial Avogadro's number my phone crashes...
Was it written in Java? Or Sumatra?
Caffe Verona...

In their defense, it is rather difficult to ascertain the situation with your head up your ass.
True, but I'm told it feels pretty good to vigorously shake you head back and forth...
that may be distracting them...
Isn't the web a "cloud" in of itself?
More like a layer of smog...
Mine goes to 11.
but is scaled in binary...
apologies to Spinal Tap...
But if you get in a jam you can eat the non-fighting pets, right? OK, maybe with a microtransaction for tortillas or flat bread first...
Where do i get a gig like this?
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
It would have been worse if he smelt of smelt!
Apologies to Monty Python...
But... what if your flashlight needs an important update to help keep it secure on the internet?
The lesson in most cases is to take the million, walk, then buy back your old company for pennies on the dollar in a couple of years.
That needs to be modded up but I got no points today...

The direction of the molecules in the metal make the difference between something that's hard and brittle vs. something that's soft and elastic.
Great. Now I have a Salvador Dali vision of a nice, gooey 45 caliber pistol kind of dripping and drooping...
