Will it give me free beer and hookers?
Free as in speech, silly.
I'm sure there are many people out there who would prefer that their OS gave them free beer and hookers instead of free speech.

[The informant] told me that since his problems with Mr. Calixte, his brand new computer has crashed and he suspects Mr. Calixte is responsible. Mr. Calixte has access into [the informant's] computer as he set it up for him when they were friends and he knows the password. The computer has been looked at by several experts and none of them can resolve the problem.
You might blame Mr. Calixte, but I would probably blame Microsoft.
Also mentioned:
- He is often seen with unknown laptops he is "fixing" for other students.
- He "jail breaks" phones which is in violation of the software license.
- He has a cache of illegally downloaded music and movies.

Comment Just used my coupons (Score 1) 147
I ordered mine right after the story about the lack of coupons showed up. I got my coupons a few weeks later. Went and used them last week at Circuit City. Most everything in the store was gone except around 100 Guitar Hero games and 2 pallets full of DTV converter boxes. With the going out of business prices, the cost of each converter box was less than $40!

Submission + - Roku Player Adds Amazon VOD Support
Pseudo Idol writes: Roku has rolled out support for Amazon's Video on Demand service. This allows you to link your Roku player to your Amazon account and purchase/rent movies and television shows. The prices are the same as they are on Amazon's website. The selection is large, containing video from all the major networks. The large selection makes it somewhat difficult to browse easily in my opinion. I wonder what the chances of a Hulu channel are now that Roku and Amazon have partnered? Seeing as how I can watch the latest episodes of 24 on Hulu for free while they cost $1.99 through Amazon.

Don't be so quick to judge. I also live in Lancaster County, and used to have an Amish woman as a babysitter when I was a kid. She seriously loved Wheel of Fortune.
