This will surely...
...make prospective customers trust him more!
Wheeeeeee
"cos you turn 720 and walk away"
The title is the sound Senior Ugli makes while he's doing his two-circle pirouette in midair.
I love my Mac, iPad, and iPhone....
....but the longer Apple insists on continuing their patent wars, the less likely I become to proselytize that love. Indeed, I find myself starting to grow somewhat embarrassed that I like their products so much. Still a load better than using Windoze though.
Now, they just need to find...
...someone interested in having one, to offload them.
(Disclaimer: I love my iPad 2. That said, I can't fathom why someone would buy an iPad Mini.)
Re: Talk about failure to comprehend!
So, deporting them would give them exactly what they want, no? :)
Sore Losers
See title.
Big brother...

I for one never liked QML. QT on the desktop is rock solid, though, and I still plan to use it.
Beefy Miracle....
....why do I suddenly crave a large hamburger or steak?
Don't write shit code, please....
.....we have a patent on that.
Just use Animas...
Animas pumps are far superior anyway. They actually seem to care about you, too, which is a startling difference in attitude compared to Medtronic. Animas pumps even use luer-lock connections on the cartridges, so you can use any infusion set you want, whether made by Animas or not. Many of my fellow diabetics that use minimed don't even realize they have an option other than the horrible little infusion sets medtronic ships (50/50 makes a luer-lock cartridge for minimed pumps).
@Bill Cumming
Nope. You have an energy input being consumed, namely the sun. You'd have to have the machine feeding itself power, not relying on an external power source.
Download IE8.....
....and you too can puke!

@AC
When they say "batch file", they're probably referring to a banking batch - e.g., a collection of credit card transactions that all run at once is referred to as a "batch". I doubt they meant "batch file" in the DOS sense.
Besides, they probably run OS/2 Warp :)
Wait...
He turned himself in, and then entered a not guilty plea? How exactly does that work out?
What PayPal and E-Bay Needs....
Competition!
Yahoo! Used! To! Have! An! Auction! Service! which was a fairly good competition to E-Bay. It was never nearly as big, but it got the job done and was comparable. They closed their doors on June 3, 07. There isn't anything to compete with E-Bay any more.
PayPal... I know of many good merchant account and credit card processing providers, but all of these are geared toward POS (Point of Sale, not Piece of S**t) sales, or geared toward you (the seller) entering the customer's credit card information into a virtual online terminal or via telehone. There isn't really anything that can compete for taking credit cards over the internet on your behalf, via their own secure and PCI-compliant servers, and delivering the funds to you easily. And integrating into a website as smoothly...
My $0.02 USD. If you do know of good, viable, thriving alternatives to The Duo, speak now!
...Gates, 'cause he knows all about competition
Ubuntu
Glad to see a plug for my favorite Linux distro.
