I just wish I could find a good source of spice bottles so I can keep the bulk packages stored safely away in a cool location while using my counter for more productive things.

It in itself is the dirty trick, and yes, Microsoft has repeatedly over the years proven that if the government wasn't standing behind it with a paddle and a threatening look, they'd steal anything that wasn't bolted down and use a knife to etch their name into everything that was.

A man turning to Microsoft to avoid Adobe is like someone jumping into lava because their barbecue grill was getting smoke in their eyes.

The 'original' from which it's name is derived was, by necessity of the story itself, a complex branching maze. That or the Minotaur and Theseus were Disney villain level incompetent for not being able to find their…

Those are all good foundations, but here's where it really came from for a good number of people.

If my logic was that being specifically targets by terrorists and blown apart equates to having a slow PSN day because Sony's network is under attack, I'd agree, your argument completely pulls THAT apart.

Consumers who support that company by buying it's products and paying for it's services?
