You glossed over the important part there with the âoesome criteria they came up withâ. Bravo for sidestepping the actual conversation.

This whole debate is so weird to me. Android users constantly flout that Apple simply doesn't have any market share and their influence in the phone space is minuscule. A quick google says 81% Android vs 16% Apple, globally. If Apple phone users are so outnumbered, why the huge push to make them be "competitive" and "anti-monopolistic"? Shouldn't we be asking the Android users to do things differently, if anyone were to? Did anyone ever think perhaps the 16% of phone users specifically CHOSE the way Apple does things because they like it that way? Maybe they don't want there to be more than one App Store? Maybe they like that there are only a few choices? You are hell bent on changing the way they do things even though Apple is the one who spent the time, money, and brain power to create this entire architecture to protect their users. That you don't like it or understand it should in no way affect what happens here.

Here is the link you want. https://web.archive.org/web/20...

Yes there is, simply contact them and get an additional month of prime for free, I do it every time I have a late package, which is admittedly almost never. "Note: If you received free shipping with a guaranteed delivery date through Amazon Prime, you may be eligible for a free one-month extension if the delivery date isn't met. Prime extensions are limited to one per free trial, one per month for monthly members, and 12 for an annual membership."

2001, huh? What's really sad is that this is the honest truth. Macs just don't get spyware. Yes, it is "technically" possible to infect a mac, but it is a very rare occurrence, indeed. I've been in computer repair for the last 20 years, and the total number of macs I have ever seen with some sort of virus or spyware/malware is less than 5. I can actually remember each one individually. On the other hand, I couldn't begin to count the number of Windows PCs I've cleaned up with malware over the last two decades. It's staggering, on the order of 10,000:1 ratio. Of the 4 I have personally witnessed, as well as the handful or so I've heard about through colleagues, not a single one was a "drive-by" infection. They were ALL from a user who downloaded a questionable file and opened it, then put in their admin password to complete the infection. Contrast that with the 100's seen every month from Windows users who swear that they did nothing but check their email and are now knee deep in an infection. My kids use an iMac to play games and do homework. Not because I'm an elitist (the iMac is 9 years old), but because I don't want to spend any more time fixing their computers. In the last 4 years, I have never once had to fix a virus issue on their PC. Trust me, they've tried. I can see the infectious EXE's in the download folder, but I've stopped even clearing those out because they can't do any harm. Regardless of the scary stories you read here on slashdot, the simple fact is Mac malware just isn't an issue. Windows malware is a daily occurrence.

When viewing the actual image on eBay, simply change the final number (after the $ sign) to 57 and reload the link. Full sized, glorious image, works every time. Yes it's stupid but the real image IS there.

That's a complete lie. You can still get a Celeron G440 or G460 single core with up to 32gb DDR3 memory from Newegg right now, not to mention the thousands of options on used dells out there. If they truly need a single core machine, they are out there. Someone is being lazy or deceitful if they say otherwise.

That's a cop out I hear a lot. If you have a house payment, a car payment, insurance, cable, etc, then you can get a credit card. I got one when I lived in a dorm in college and had very little income, I was 18 at the time. If you have screwed up your credit so bad you can't get a credit card, perhaps you should work on that before you worry about buying all of this stuff online with your debit card?

And here we are again...

Ok, I know this is tough, but you just haven't figure out how to use credit cards yet. You obviously need to read up, a lot. And try to keep an open mind. I was where you are now once myself. I'd like to think I wasn't quite as cocky about my lack of knowledge as you are, but who knows.

Again, all of these issues you mention are debit card issues. stop using your personal bank account that you use for paying bills the same account as the one you give out online and all those problems will magically disappear.

30 isn't bullshit at all, I have about 15 at last count and I pared them down significantly in the last couple of years, mostly to make it easier to keep track of. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you should talk badly about their choices.

I usually don't bother to respond to posts like this, but this one is so blatantly off-base I feel compelled. What you experienced was not Credit Card theft. It was Debit Card theft. You can't be late on your mortgage payment because your credit card was stolen and/or used for unauthorized purchases because you are using THEIR money, not yours. While I agree that everything that happened to you was unfortunate, it all could have been easily avoided by using the cardinal rule of plastic, don't use it online if it's tied to YOUR money.

Every single item the parent mentioned is valid and true. If anyone does anything unwanted with your account, simply login and click dispute, or phone customer service and spend less than 5 minutes explaining. The bill doesn't even come out for ~30 days, and you have several months after that to get it reversed. Let them deal with it, it's their job not yours. You wasted 110 hours of your life, but have you changed the way you do things now? Or do you still use your debit card for all your purchases? If it happened once, it can and WILL happen again.

PS - Your anger is showing, you used the word "fuck" 4 times in your post. Calm down and be rational.

You should try the Omega ATI Drivers, they work with almost any notebook ATI card out there.
