He means a stick of RAM, I am sure. Actually, even that's pretty low nowadays.
some time around 1998 - $200 1.6 GB WD drive at a computer show...ah, the memories (of paying more than $100 a GB!).
holy 1998 batman!
I'd have a problem with the morality issue if these companies weren't busily price-gouging everyone. It's clear that, for a corporation, "morality" means "do whatever won't get you arrested," and in that light lying to get a warranty fulfilled isn't a moral hazard, so much as it is giving them an answer that they'll accept in order to do their job, the one that they're paying them for in the first place. It's the golden rule: treat the person the way he wants to be treated.
OTOH, you have the person in the other thread talking about calling in an "Advanced RMA" in order to get a 2nd hard drive... then "forgetting" to return the original. That's definitely fraud.
That's also why I feel no moral outrage over people who "steal" from RIAA and MPAA members who put draconian DRM on their products, but I go out of my way to pay the Humble Bundle guys even though I haven't even played any of the games in the last one. The former companies treat the world like criminals, while the latter treat people with respect, and ask for respect in turn.
Here we go again. Another financial analyst/economist who thinks they know how economies work. Of course, prices are only dictated by Greed, pure, unadulterated greed! EVIL, EVIL Corporations! Price Gougers! It's the only reason.
Can someone tell me what the HDD is inside it? Or at the very least, Green or black? SATA?
I just want to buy one and rip it out and use internally.
