| Chips_B_Malroy | XP facing end of life updates next april is in a way a good thing | Aug 01 00:00 |
| schestowitz | but Microsoft was amongf those who gave BayStar guarantees | Aug 01 00:00 |
| schestowitz | In addition to paying themselves | Aug 01 00:00 |
| schestowitz | 20 million dollars I think | Aug 01 00:00 |
| schestowitz | and BayStar was used by MS to inject another 30 million | Aug 01 00:00 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | yep | Aug 01 00:01 |
| schestowitz | I think MS also tried to use Sun | Aug 01 00:01 |
| schestowitz | Because Jonathan Schwartz said something without naming the company | Aug 01 00:01 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | if XP expires it sort of becomes abandonware | Aug 01 00:01 |
| schestowitz | alluding to a plot to do such an evil thing like SCO did | Aug 01 00:01 |
| schestowitz | Sun did pay SCO, IIRC | Aug 01 00:01 |
| schestowitz | but didn't go further afterwards | Aug 01 00:01 |
| schestowitz | a lot of people forgot and forgave MS | Aug 01 00:02 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | falls in a gray area, where it will be harder for MS to sue indivial users that do not pay to use it | Aug 01 00:02 |

| DaemonFC | I wonder when the price will come down. | Aug 01 02:32 |

| DaemonFC | I guess that answers it. | Aug 01 02:33 |
| DaemonFC | "With the PS4 and Xbox One looming on the horizon and Wii U sales in the toilet, it's the most logical way of reigniting consumer interest and making sure there's a large install base to attract vital third-party support." | Aug 01 02:33 |
| DaemonFC | If it wasn't for the PS4, then that wouldn't be true. | Aug 01 02:34 |
| DaemonFC | The Xbox One sounds truly awful. | Aug 01 02:34 |
| DaemonFC | "We’ve gone from being the highest-priced console on the market to now being a great value with the announcements from our competitors." | Aug 01 02:35 |
| DaemonFC | In other words "We're both rotten." "Yes, but you're just a little bit more rotten.". | Aug 01 02:36 |
| DaemonFC | I'm just a little uncomfortable paying more than $300 for a video game console. It's happened before, but only in inflation-adjusted dollars, and not in decades. | Aug 01 02:37 |
| DaemonFC | With video gaming, it's better to get in when the console is nearing end of life. You grab the console for less than half of what the initial price was, the bugs are worked out, and there's a market flooded with used games. | Aug 01 02:38 |
| DaemonFC | It's even more concerning that a lot of people spend $60 on one game. | Aug 01 02:41 |
| DaemonFC | I don't like to spend more than $10 on any one game, with rare exceptions. | Aug 01 02:41 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, if it's a collector's item, rare, hard to find, I'll go higher, but with a lot of these, it's just a plastic disc that they made a million copies of, and if one person won't sell it to you for $4-5, someone else will. | Aug 01 02:42 |

| DaemonFC | I have to go by the post office to send a letter certified mail before Paypal will refund my money from that seller. | Aug 01 15:05 |
| DaemonFC | Their customer support is fucking awful. | Aug 01 15:05 |
| DaemonFC | They make you spend a long time on hold, and then ship counterfeit merchandise you were sold back to the seller with a tracking number, at your own expense. | Aug 01 15:06 |
| DaemonFC | So I'll end up recovering about half the money I was cheated out of by the time I pay to send that letter. | Aug 01 15:06 |
| DaemonFC | I would just say fuck it, but then it would let him keep the money. | Aug 01 15:08 |
| DaemonFC | So I left him some nasty feedback and I've been flagging all of his other auctions as Fraud. | Aug 01 15:08 |
| DaemonFC | ebay de-listed a bunch of them | Aug 01 15:08 |
| DaemonFC | he put more up this morning, so I flagged those too | Aug 01 15:09 |
| DaemonFC | I'm going to do my best to be a pain in his ass and render his account unusable | Aug 01 15:09 |

| DaemonFC | I'm not mailing him his fake coupons back | Aug 01 15:15 |
| DaemonFC | I took a blank sheet of paper and folded it a bunch of times so the envelope looks like it has something in it. | Aug 01 15:15 |
| DaemonFC | He'll sign for it, expecting to get the coupons back so he can sell them to someone else, and get a blank sheet of paper. | Aug 01 15:16 |
| DaemonFC | Paypal already decided the claim in my favor. The evidence that I mailed him something is the tracking number. | Aug 01 15:16 |
| DaemonFC | These are high quality fakes. The counterfeiters that sold them to him even reproduced the security holograms. | Aug 01 15:19 |
| DaemonFC | So it's not something he could just print out himself. | Aug 01 15:19 |
| DaemonFC | The manufacturer realized they were getting more of them back than what they sent out and canceled the offer. | Aug 01 15:19 |
| DaemonFC | I also know it's fake because the expiration date has been changed | Aug 01 15:19 |
| DaemonFC | all the real ones expired in March and these say they're good until December of next year | Aug 01 15:20 |
| abeNd-org | which coupon is that? | Aug 01 15:20 |
| DaemonFC | Free Arm & Hammer product up to $13.99 | Aug 01 15:21 |
| DaemonFC | I think, sadly, that any Free Product coupon on ebay should probably be considered a counterfeit, even if it has the security features. | Aug 01 15:22 |
| abeNd-org | yea, i wouldnt trust coupons off ebay/freecycle/craigslist | Aug 01 15:22 |
| DaemonFC | Whoever is producing these has access to some really good equipment. | Aug 01 15:22 |
| DaemonFC | So I don't think there's anything wrong with mailing him back an envelope with a blank piece of paper in it. | Aug 01 15:23 |
| DaemonFC | Why let him make them someone else's problem? | Aug 01 15:23 |
| DaemonFC | As soon as I get my money back, I'm going to shred them. | Aug 01 15:23 |
| DaemonFC | It's ridiculous that Paypal makes you return counterfeit coupons. | Aug 01 15:24 |
| DaemonFC | They're basically asking me to commit mail fraud to get my refund. | Aug 01 15:24 |
| abeNd-org | as long as you include a hard copy of where paypal says to send them, you should be in the clear | Aug 01 15:24 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not going to risk it. | Aug 01 15:25 |
| DaemonFC | Putting fake coupons in the mail is legally the same thing as mailing counterfeit money to someone. | Aug 01 15:25 |
| DaemonFC | If for some reason the post office opened it up and found those, it would be a felony. | Aug 01 15:26 |
| DaemonFC | But it's not a crime to mail someone a blank piece of paper. | Aug 01 15:26 |
