OCZ and im sure others have SSDs up to 500GB now. OK, they cost as much as my car, but they exist. It wont be long before they get up to 1TB, then 2TB.. Then its just a matter of waiting for the price to come down.

SSDs have caught up to traditional drives capacity extremely quickly, it wont be long before you can put a 10TB SSD in your laptop and never have to worry again (well, except for loosing it).

Well now I feel good about the decision I made 6 years ago to not watch a single episode of this show when I attempted to watch the first episode and failed 4 times. Even from the first episode it looked like it wasn't going to go anywhere and that a good 50% of the stuff in it would never be explained.

I was either going to be horribly wrong and miss the best written TV show ever, or be correct.

Its not what you think.. Trust me.

Bah.. That's nothing.. Our 'any router will do' policy once got me in to an argument with a customer that lasted a good 20 mins. When I advised him for the 5th time that while he had a router, he would ALSO need some form of computer to get internet pages, he demanded to speak to my supervisor.

I honestly cant see a problem with this. XP is now a 9 year old operating system that has been superseded but 2! newer versions and has entered extended support. I wouldn't expect apple to release the new version of safari on OS 9, I wouldn't expect Debian sarge to have the latest version of firefox back ported, why is IE9 any different?

Don't know if serious.. But im assuming its because Win7 code has already screwed the battery up..

What you need to do is firstly wait to see what impact this will have on your ability to play the game. Then you check the box, user agreement and any other documentation that came with the game that was readable before opening for any mention that the components that have now stopped working would actually stop working at some point in the future. Then after the 30 seconds of looking and finding nothing, you find a bunch of that have a similar issue with their game no longer working and start a class action.

And no im not american, and yes I usually hate the 'sue them' response, but every now and then you have to remind companies that they have a responsibility to their customers..

They simply live in a world where all second hand software sales are piracy. Its the only possible way this figure could even be remotely correct.

Jinkies!

OMG I didn't even notice till you pointed it out... I think I have a problem.

And who the hell buys more than 1 nunchuk?! I have 1 game that uses it and its a 2 player max game. (oh, and boxing from wii sports)

No no.. You can also use a bluetooth keyboard with most nokia phones now. So all you need to do is carry around a full sized keyboard, a smallish LCD TV and all the cables and you can use your phone to edit documents! Nokia's next innovation will be a device that is small enough to sit on your lap and contains the 'TV' and keyboard built in so then you wont have to worry about the cables either!

On a more serious note. I have an E65 and I can ALREADY view and edit word and excel files on it. I don't because I also have an eeepc and can use the phone as a tether to the internet and use openoffice on a much bigger screen..

I wouldn't say its 'taken then so long to get smart'. I've been playing the game for well over a year and while the introduction of an in game item to represent play time is new, selling game cards for in game currency (or buying game time for in game currency) has been in the game for longer than I have. There has been section of the forums setup specifically as a market place for time cards and for the whole time I have been playing you have been able to securely transfer game time through the web site.

I remember being told YEARS before I started playing that some people I know were earning enough per month to play multiple accounts for free. This has all been done through someone else selling them a game time card for in game currency. While im not sure for how long you have been able to do this through a secure system, I believe it has always been encouraged (or at least not discouraged)

While im not sure if this system was running from day one, it didn't take long to develop.

I have a fox terrier. Hes a smart little bugger and he knows it. I have numerous examples of him outsmarting people, but the one I love to tell is him outsmarting my wife.

She was sitting watching TV eating her dinner, it was a steak and some vegetables. Usually we are bad and cut bits off for the dog to eat with us, but she was hungry and it was only a small piece of steak so tonight the dog got his own meat and none of hers. He likes steak.

He watched her eating the steak and asked nicely if he could have some (he will pat your leg to remind you he hasn't had any yet). After being told no several times he got grumpy and sat down for a bit. All of a sudden he starts to bark loudly and growls and runs toward the front door. My wife jumps up putting her dinner down on the couch and runs to see what he is growling at. He sneaks past her as she runs down to an empty door. When she returns the steak is gone and the dog is no where to be seen.

He has tried this same trick again on her since then but she remembered to put her dinner higher up where he cant get it. He tried it on me and promptly got told to shut up, so he came back and sulked in front of me.

Amazon also hasn't sold you anything. You paid them for a license to read the book. They have simply revoked the license. I have no idea if the agreement you would have to have read to open the box (yay shrink wrapped EULAs) gives them the right to remove your licenses for any reason at all, but I suspect it does.

This is the biggest problem with DRM covered digital distribution. You think your paying for a book, when in reality you aren't.
