My corporate PC is on XP SP2 :(

I'm also just over the three year mark on my original kindle. No plans on replacing it unless the screen messed up, or I can't read for at least a week without charging.

At least in Canada they will price match any online ad (and give you 10% of the difference as well).

I price matched my TV from dell.com

A reported prison population ...

Like screwing up the software that controls your breaks? Or perhaps the auto pilot of the plane you are on? This list could go on for quite a while for the things that are now programmed by 'IT' people that could kill you.

I don't know if he still uses it on the road but Mike liked it when he tried it out for drawing. http://www.penny-arcade.com/2013/02/22/the-ms-surface-pro

Except the first story was about being in the finals on the poll, this one is about 'winning' the poll ...

To be fair it can be a male or female name. http://wiki.name.com/en/Lauren

Maybe I'm missing something, since I've never had to go through arbitration (or small claims court). But couldn't a lawyer/firm put together a kit to show you what you needed to do to take these cases to small claims court, or even requesting arbitration? Do companies have a time limit for arbitration? I could only imagine if a law firm did a "class" action style sign up for these kits, and charged people a small amount of money for it (generic kit, couple hours, sell it for like $10 even) that it would cost these companies a large sum of money to respond to all of them.

This is so true, I'm taking some college courses online and I've picked up the solutions manuals for the courses. I'm not using these for the assignments, but I do use it to see what I've done wrong when my teachers provides no feedback. The one "awesome" teacher just attaches a word document for his marks, and this is just a copy and paste from the solutions manual. This is probably the teacher I've hated the most while doing courses online, he'll give you a mark like 5.74 out of 6, and then just the word document with no idea why the one number you got wrong was worth .26 of the assignment.

Not $2.25, 2.25% ... probably makes a bit more of a difference :)

Xeon is not usually considered a consumer product but a business product.

I've seen said sponge speak in English, Spanish, Chinese, and other various "human" languages, so I don't think OP was that wrong :)

And on that note I use to have a co-worker with a strong Indian accent, even though he had lived here in Canada for about 20 years, and he would have people hang up on him because they didn't want to speak to someone in India.
