Two miles is two miles.

202 miles driving with a detour through the city at 5 mph is not just 2 miles longer than 200 miles of highway driving.

The motor isn't running when your not moving.

But the heater, the lights, and the stereo system are running, plus regenerative braking isn't magic.

Stop and go traffic for an hour or two in the winter with the heater at full blast could easily drop tens of miles from the total range.

Passphrases are uncommon because many sites think that "at least" means "exactly" when setting up the user database.

I've dropped one bank because of it. And those secret question/answer fields that are also 8 characters long because they might waste entire megabytes of storage if everyone had room for a complete response.

Google doesn't sell Android. It gives away Android so it can sell the eyeballs of Android users to its real customers.

So instead of convincing them not to ban large magazines, they'll just ban guns that don't have fixed magazines.

Is that really what they wanted?

You forgot an option:)

That's kind of the point. Unless you think you will make enough money in the next 10 years to justify paying 10% of everything you've made, you aren't going to renew.

Alternatively, creators that think they will be selling forever can just roll the cost in ahead of time, which will allow other creators(e.g. DJs, fan-works) that don't care about the long term can discount their works and sell more on the short term.

So get one of these and enjoy your shoulder and back pain.

Mary Gates was on the board of United Way with John Opel, chairman of IBM. Microsoft had been trying to sell a port of Unix called Xenix(because they couldn't use Unix as the name). That same year, IBM then hired Microsoft to develop a CP/M clone, which Microsoft bought 86-DOS from Seattle Computer Products and rebranded MS-DOS/PC-DOS.

Oddly enough, IBM didn't own it, only licensed it, allowing Microsoft to become huge.
