Microsoft abandoned their Plays for Sure DRMed music after 3 or 4 years when they released the Zune that, of course, can't play it.

I don't know about androids, but there's no adblock for an iphone.

Back in those days, network adapters were an add on accessory. I'm not sure that having to enable TCP/IP on a machine with no network hardware is such a bad idea.

You forget how those 2003 menus would randomly hide whatever features you want unless you hover your mouse over the menu bar for an annoying number of seconds. I still run across machines with that feature and it's amazing how long interface rage can simmer.

I'm pretty sure the guys with slaves had perfectly fine houses.

Just buy it?

if my tracert is to be believed, it isn't even Time Warner directly slowing my connection, but Savvis.net:

I'd have to build a mail server to regain my original id.

The DVR where I work can only handle 320x240 images, and only 1/sec at that (it is pulling some 24 simultaneous analogue streams however). They are almost useless for recognizing people.

Or even better, how much cash does he have to live on after paying taxes?

I'm sure you are joking, but just in case someone believes you: false equivalence.

On your own link, 18 of the 53 states listed (34%) showed sales tax on groceries. You can consider 66% as qualifying for "don't generally" status if you want, but I would go with at least 90%

Maybe not where google is, but in Missouri, we certainly do -- well unless you have food stamps or EBT.

Wow. That does seem impossible to guess. I've luckily forgotten how nearly every game was impossible without a cheat book in those days. Because I never had any money, and didn't want to win by cheating, they never got solved and I never did finish them.
