Good riddance to them. They ripped me off by sending me, and charging me for things I didn't, and wouldn't normally, order. When i objected their mantra was - "We show that you ordered these items - do you wish to return you order, there will be return shipping and a restocking fee".
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Here is how you can stop that before it happens...
CitiBank Has This[^] very nice trick. You give the online merchant a credit card number which you limit, both time and money.
If they try to hit you for more money than the number is worth, the transaction is denied.
A very few other banks also have this. I am surprised that it is not more popular.

Agreeing with that !
I wonder if ...
- The market is just in its final phase
- The market is not in its final phase, it's just downsizing now that computers are no longer so groovy
- The unfair reality of economic recession chose this company to hit
- The company is okay, but the owner(s) are lonely for the old days of mega profits
- This is just one company's business decision (i.e., an anomaly, not a major market indicator)
- Space aliens heisted the inventory
- None of the above
- All of the above
I wonder, wonder, wonder, if another company (quite likely, ex-employees) will form a Phoenix from the ashes. Then again, I'm thinking of my own actions with them. I did hundreds of dollars with them between 2000 and 2010, maybe in the thousands; but then far less in this decade.
And so...
Is this an anomaly ? Or a market indicator ?
i.e., Does America have enough paying customers for such a possible Phoenix to emerge ?
Does anyone have any on-the-ins perspectives from them or NewEgg or CDW or others in that market ?

Are they shutting down entirely? Their listings for laptops/tablets are extremely sparse as well...
I'm not that surprised to see them going. Buying a bunch of stores from a failed boxmart chain was dumping money down the toilet. Online they suffered from being less searchable than Newegg and not having cheap/free expedited shipping like Amazon (prime).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I haven't bought from them in several years but they were my #1 hardware for a very long time. Too bad!

Hi All,
Something odd has happened my Parents phone line appear to be on the right number! I accidently used the home contact on my phone it rang my Mum answered, I fell off my seat. It also appears the broad band is connected (I can't say for sure if it's higher speed until the weekend).  it appears that BT have quietly done the job, nothing has broken I can think of

Trying to move very large files to / from USB drives. We're talking 80GB+, takes hours and hours. I am looking for a utility that supports resuming operations if interrupted.
Any suggestions?

TeraCopy for Microsoft Windows - Code Sector[^]
This should help.

Personally I would not hold any hope of it being any good.
The rebooted film franchise, now that is good!

The executive producer worked on both the reboot films: he co-wrote the first one, and co-produced both.
So it has a chance. I'm hoping it will work - if it can avoid being "Enterprise II" that'll be a good start! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
