Comment Real reason (Score 1) 371

Ok the real reason that FF users are being charged more, is because it is open source. You can take it, and modify it anyway you want and do not have to pay. ALSO, FF users tend to use more open-source software whenever they can. That is a HUGE SAVINGS overall, and insurance companies want the money that you are saving from not spending it on software.

Comment Corporate scamming and Federal compliance (Score 1) 215

This is why corporations can get away with crap like this. They just made 80 million, were fined 25 million by the government for their cut of ILL GOTTEN MONEY which ends up to be around 35% the federal tax rate for corporations/companies. The victims, the customers, were not reimbursed any of the money which they were scammed out of..

I would switch 100% to Chrome... if it worked... Anytime I click a link that opens the default browser (set to chrome), chrome opens up and shows an error dialog. Chrome will then not load any pages. You have to close Chrome, and reopen it with the desktop shortcut in order for it to work properly. Win 7 64, 4gb, 8800gt oc, quad q6600 2.4 running at 3.0ghz, Asus P5K

I buy games... But when there is so much DRM that it adversely affects my gaming experience.. I will download it, from rapidshare! I love that these people are pulling the crapware out of games I pay for, and it makes for a more pleasurable gaming experience. Lesson: Stop putting crapware in your games, and you will have more people that will want to spend money as long as the game is worth it. I have never had an issue with a downloaded game due to the removal of all the garbage. But, almost every game I buy first I have had at least one issue with.

I was actually about to buy a blackberry for the holidays and switch from a pay as you go phone provider to a contact provider. However, do to this, I will not be choosing Verizon and I will not be purchasing a Blackberry. Shame for them, because I make a lot of overseas calls (currently at 15 cents per minute from my phone, or 2.1 cents per minute from Skype)
