The keys i got from Microsoft Dreamspark through my college have activated at least 5 (all mine) computers.

This would a hell of a lot more true if Bill didnt take all that money and fuck us for 2 solid decades.

What is your UPLOAD speed and DATA CAP? Download speed is not the only metric of internet service. I get 100 down but only 10 up for almost $80/month. I dont consider it a good value because the upload is so low.

Maybe RADIO had something to do with it......You know getting free music for almost a CENTURY...

Right, because I'm not supposed to be allowed to petition my government to change abusive practices. Im supposed to stand aside as I see wrong and say nothing about it to my governing body. Is that what you are REALLY saying?

Doesnt the public have the right to demand the business owner hire only countrymen? That door swings both ways.

Dont, its not worth an HDMI slot on my TV. Currently rotting in my closet.

Most of the money making schemes i see are trying to insert themselves between people for profit. Pretty much the antithesis of what should be happening in an Information Age.

So? How is that a con? O yeah , people still think in terms of providing a product instead of a service,.

Most app developers are just trying to win the app lotto, not do anything actually useful or noteworthy.

I dont think Jobs would have allowed 20 versions of the watch which mostly amount to changing the band and build materials. It would have been one to three watches with no ridiculous $17,000 top end.

The difference is i use actual math. I have several servers that are part of the household load just like the fridge or heater. I use Kill-A-Watts to measure the loads, calculate using my actual bills, you know showing my work... I can show you how my electricity load has gone down over the last 5 years, even as I add more computers to the network. I get what you are saying, but i cant change my costs, i can only change the load.

The ONE advantage to living in a very high electricity cost area ($.21/kWh, total bill divided by kWh), i love being able to replace hardware and justify it with electricity savings.

Project Gutenberg says 'LOL'

Almost all wifi radios can act as an AP. It was part of the standard for Ad-hoc networking, which has been gutted in modern implementations. I really hate that all the tech companies decided Ad-hoc was a threat to revenue and dont expose it in the UI.
