bahaha, I used to have a keylogger on my PC so whenever my friends logged in to their social networks I would have their logins and their passwords ^.^ it was so fun when I made fun of their passwords when they were about to leave or got off the computer

Why can't manufacturers sew buttons on properly in the first place? I bought my jacket less than two months ago and the buttons are already coming off

Capitalist swines!

Speaking of clothing, I hate douchebags who wear trash for hundreds of dollars and think they're cooler than everybody else because they can spend money idiotically. Even sillier, moms that buy their kids expensive clothing even though they'll have to get rid of it soon since their kids will outgrow it. Use your brain, damn it; why do you need this crap when you can buy something just exactly the same for 300 dollars cheaper? -.-

And come next winter/summer whatever, it's out of style and they have to buy something new again

I'll only spend a bit more money for clothing if it's quality stuff and lasts long.

Computer printer manufacturers who make dirt cheap printers and then flog them for less than they cost to make along with a scant amount of ink and then you find that buying 2 cartridges costs more than the damn printer did in the first place

Idiotically? They may view modifying a car or a computer for 100s (if not 1000s) of dollars idiotic.

They may be jeans to you, but to someone they are high quality, ultra-durable, carefully dyed vintage reproductions of Levi's classic selvedge jeans.

The manufacturers do that because people want cheap printers and don't think that much about the cartridges. It's both the manufecturers taking advantage of stupidity and being stupid enough to be abused in that manner.

Anyway, I for myself like it that way because I'm printing rarely, maybe 25 pages a year, i.e. low fixed costs are good for me. If you have much to print, you have to buy a printer with low running costs, one which is probably a bit more expensive. I actually don't see a problem with that.

People here have the right to send back internet or telephone orders within 14 days, without a reason. A few moochers abuse that by sending back the printer when the ink has depleted. The sellers could probably keep a bit of the money for having used up the ink, but the hassle of checking and ensuring that might cost more than simply taking back the printer.

That is obscene - the reality is that while a good make, they do not warrant that kind of price considering that Walmart can buy Levi's in bulk then bang them out at $25 a pair - so the nork who bought the $250 pair did 2 things....

1) Fed a Levi exec for 20 seconds

2) bought a pair of jeans that would not last as long as the 10 pairs he could have bought with the same money from wally world

Yeah, I completely get this, but, it was just my rotten luck that I needed to print one sheet out on my HP so I could make a job application only to find that the cartridges were bone dry :rolleyes:
