Never heard of it.

Well, if people are installing warez or free programs without some background check, they are asking for it.

Or Snoopy Poopy Poop Dog or the enema man.

People think they just can call without warning and I then am happy to spend the entire evening helping them. YES! that was just what I wanted to do, sit all evening with a remote console.
Even when i drive for half a day to visit family, they think i will want to spend the evening, alone, in their homeoffice fixing something.

Worst thing though is that they always expect that i want to do it for free.

Then days after, they call i and claim that something stopped working because i had "tampered" with their machine.

I stopped helping people some time ago. When people called, i just had no solution to their problem. It became easier when Vista came out since, i dropped windows at XP, so I can say without lying that I have never owned a Vista or windows 7 installation. (and at work we still use XP on our desktops with no sign of changing that)

What did I get out of it, all those days wasted helping people. Nothing at all.

You have to be careful when buying them though. Don't just look at the black patch to see the size of the panel, look at how much there actually is, sometimes it is way to little to function properly.
Looks like most of them are made from broken parts of real panels anyway.

In 15 years, you are expected to buy it again this time an version ported to the console in use at that time.
The whole DRM thing, made me give up gaming on the PC(starforce made my hw look defective and i ended up buying new HW i didnt need) and lately I have given up on console also.
Mostly because the have gotten the clever idea to sell a game at 110$(local price converted to $) which is only half the game. The rest you have to buy via DLC, so it is locked to you account or console and the resell value of the game is lower.

And some of those might have more than one.
By the looks of the GUI on my TV and Reciever I'd say that some of their features are on multiple processorboards.

How many times can people continue this inane dribble.
wah wah wah iphone is closed and baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad wah wah wah.

Don't you think we all have heard everything so far and made our decision on what we prefer?

Is it just me or is the fake background noise just a short loop?

Indeed, half of the apps out there could have been done in just html. Sometimes all they do is open webpages.

And it is not really any worse than the official sex games in the itunes store(google them yourself). So I don't see the problem. Apple are just being up to their usual American bashful behaviour.

(I have an iPhone, although the removal of wifiscanning programs i used for work might make me consider something else)

Denmark.
I just took a look at it at it seems to be around 60% of odd taxes, and then they of course put 25% regular tax on top of that.

Looking at their page they make it look like less because even though they add percentages for such things as "transport" there still is a subscription fee also. So the real price ends up there.

So you can understand people shake their head when they see that I have aircondition. :)

at 0.4$ pr kWh i know damn well how much i use, and i write it down every month.
Stupid 75% eviromental taxes.

Same here, never had a phone connected to it though. Only annoying thing is that i am included in the statistics of people still with a land line.
On the positive side, it's really an IP phone so I can see a lot of calls from blocked numbers. Good to know i am wasting resources on the autodialers in front of the people trying to sell crap i dont want.
