The topic is an old IBM that ran 1000 instructions/second. I made a joke relating that to my slow computer. If you need more help understanding this, drop me an email and I'll further explain the concept.
Go to Ybor City and flip off one of the surveillence cameras. Trigger your stopwatch and see how short of a time it takes Tampa's cops to swarm in on you when you suddenly "resemble" someone they're looking for.
My computer is pretty quiet. So is my wife's. Who needs quieter computers? Give me one that doesn't increase the temperature in my apartment by 10 degrees.
The Corps want to control all information, even that which they don't own. Now if only we could do away with all those anti-consumer laws floating around....

Wouldn't people be crushed to death if we sent them to Jupit[SLAP]
No one said anything about sending anyone to Jupiter.
I know Slashdot readers have an aversion to reading the linked stories, but refusing to even pay attention to the summary before posting is just pathetic.
Well, think logically about it for a minute. If someone had a crush on you and wanted to let you know anonymously, why would they use this inferior service (which forces you to input all your friends' info to "find a match"? I think not) when they could simply send you a nice anonymous electronic card from one of the hundreds of web sites that offer the service?
Actually, CompUSA is the only place I've ever encountered a restocking fee. Remember when customer satisfaction used to be the ultimate goal of business? I do. You're missing the point here; they charge the 15% restocking fee even on damaged merchandise.
And--you had no way to know this with the information I gave initially--I only bitched for half a minute. The underpaid guy helping me offered to waive it because he knew what a stupid policy it was. He understands the nature of repeat business; unfortunately, I won't be going there anyway because the policy is still in place.
Well, I don't know how he feels about it, but I'd fear the assraping that every company in America would line up to give me if I owned the domain and allowed subdomain names like "McDonalds," "Sharperimage" and "Starbucks."
Return of the Jedi was only marginally better than TPM. Although I will allow that the opening scene with Luke's diving board stunt was pretty nifty.:)
1. Fuck the MPAA. They aren't getting a dime from me.
2. The movie was shit compared to the first two.
3. Jar Jar Binks is the Antichrist.
4. Fuck the MPAA. They aren't getting a dime from me.
CompUSA wanted to charge me this "restocking fee" on a printer that didn't work*. Last time I ever spent money there as well, even though I bitched loud enough that they just waived it.
* the printer worked fine, but I didn't like the output quality and it was slow as dirt (even on "shit quality" level). But there's no way in hell I'm paying a business for customer satisfaction, which I hear used to be (gasp!) free.
