Remember the last election when the mining companies ran ads talking about how the mining super tax would hurt aussie jobs? A lot of aussies ate it up.

Yet some mining companies had their best years EVER for profits in 2010 - iirc one of them made about DOUBLE in profits than the prior term.
So I'm really not surprised that we're seeing this from other sectors as well. I hope Costco kicks ass on the east coast and spreads to all of the capital cities - I'm tired of paying stupidly high prices for basic items and never being able to buy anything in bulk. Honestly, who ever only needs 16 rolls of TP? Give me a 64 pack, a 100 pack, I don't care. I'm not going to stop using it anytime soon.

Win ME wasn't that bad if you spent some time tweaking it. Disabling the stuff you don't need and getting the right drivers for it.
I remember I had it stable and running without a reboot for a whole month once!
I used it for gaming, IRC, school work, chatting, and movies/music, etc.

The nicest thing about it was that it was actually faster than 98se in games, by about 5%; and 98se was about 5% faster than win2k.
But this was back when FPS meant everything and people spent stupid amounts of time overclocking and putting stickers on their cases. Of course it did have its issues and it never seemed to run well on anyone elses machines. I may have just been really lucky.

I don't have a PS3 and I'm debating on whether or not it's worth it to buy one just for this game. I have zero interest in every other PS3 game. I don't think the number of people in the same situation as sdguero and myself are very few.

1) Man earns millions from oil industry.
2) He dies.
3) His son inherits the money.
4) His son dies.
5) His grandson inherits the money.
6) His grandson gets scammed and loses the money.
7) His grandson's scammers spend some of the money.
8) His grandson's lawyers are paid to fight the scammers.
9) His grandson's lawyers buy a new Mercedes.

See? It *does* trickle down! It just takes 2 generations and some scamming to get it spread around!

"A spokesperson for Verizon has issued a report correcting the FCC, stating their settlement with the FCC was at a rate of 0.002 cents, not 0.002 dollars, bringing their total liability to $0.25M."

Wow thanks a lot. You just crashed my video card driver in Windows 7. That's the first time that's happened to me. And it was because I clicked a Youtube link in a thread talking about Adobe Flash and why Apple won't ship it on their computers.

Like a black fly in my chardonnay.

It's a space station.

I was trying to think of a good example of why 0-click ordering is a bad idea, and I think I just sent a bunch of UPS and DHL boxes to your house.
Sorry about that.

The theory is that it will be cheaper to buy from a shop than from a dealer - more suppliers. Plus you'd be able to grow your own. So the dealers getting it illegally from over the border or some local illegal grower would just be put out of business essentially.

Maybe he should have protected his work. Perhaps with some kind of ... encryption?
