Since they upgrade every 3 years at a cost of $375 then 375/36 = $10.41/Mnth That 29.99/Mnth is a whole ~60% more a month than they are paying now. And that is with the first year discount. I think the GP has a point. This looks like a massive money grab from Adobe. It should open up some of their customers to re-evaluate whether they really need Adobe products to function or at lest look at how many PCs in their establishment can do just fine wtihout it.

Because the more blacks you can tag with a felony the more you can justify removing their freedoms to do things such as voting and to own things such as a firearm. It's not rocket science here. We know that blacks tend to vote democratic so the more of them that has felonies the less of them that will be able to go to the polls and vote for Democrats. Even the x head of the Florida Rebublican Party has admitted that there are schemes in place to keep blacks away from the polls.

THey respect the laws of the land that they do business in. That means in China patents laws are not the same as in the US. That means that the feeble patents that MS and Apple are using against open source software may not work in China. Likewise. In the US they respect "we own all your code patents" And so with that, when they do business in the US they have to deal with the MS and the Apple and their "We own all your code" patents. That's just the rules to the road. The patents are invalid in China.

Lexmark along with Kyocera, buffalo, a-data, and others already paid Microsoft for NON-ANDROID Linux related patents. If people think this is about Android think again. Its about Linux and Android is just one implementation. many non-android manufactures have been caught in this extortion scheme just because they use Linux. Microsoft despicable scheme is against open source and they have said as much that they were going to use patents to kill Linux this is their plan at play.

sorry but writing code is not innovation. sorry to bust your bubble. So if you wrote some code and MS came along and said that code is covered under a patent that they have but that patent does not have any source code in it. just a discription of what code can do. You are telling me that its OK for MS to come along and charge people for code that you wrote that is completely different from anything that they wrote? WOW and you support this? Are you working for Microsoft? or Burson Marsteller?

Do you write code? So its ok for you to write code and for me to come along and to use a patent to take ownership of your fucking code? OK glad to know your position. Microsft are shitheads because they didn't write ANY of the code in Linux yet they are suing over code that is not theirs. And your pathetic defence of them suing people that make devices with Linux is woefully pathetic.

Let me put it to you this way. You sit down at your computer and write your own fucking code from your on mind. You invented the code and you distribute the code. That code competes with a product the microsoft has on the market. Your code is completely different from any code Microsoft has written. You are telling me that it's OK for MS to come along and ask people to pay for using YOUR code even though they have nothing at all to do with that code. That is OK? Because this is exactly what the fuck is happening here. Microshaft has decided to extort patent licensing fees from Open Source code and ANTYING powered by Linux in particular. Android or no fucking Android this is about Linux a competing operating system to thiers. Any attempt to spin this is either pure ignorance or pathetic trolling on the part of Microshaft.

I wear a watch. it never comes off. its even touch screen with features like altimeter, compass, barometer etc. I shower everyday and the watch stays on even in the shower, when I go to the beach or the pool. Why do you have to remove a modern watch when you wash your hands?

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
