hardware Dumping old junk

hardware: ; hardware; Dumping old junk. By Paul 3 comments. It may be my imagination, but it seems that some or many U.S.[1] based companies dump their old or questionable merchandise on South and Central America.[2] For example, a 900 mhz cordless phone that borders on useless poor range, poor audio quality, analog seems to be popular and sold for 4 times or more the price than in the U.S.[3] For the price that phone sells for one can buy a great phone in the U.S., or pay for express shipping and import taxes to buy a good phone from the U.S.[4] A motorola cellular phone cable comes with a CD that is 2 years old and requires multiple 50 meg upgrades to the software to install it.[5] Is that what you get the in U.S. A TV capture card comes with software that can't even be upgraded because the manufacturer does offer updates to the version of the software ...

Linux General Linux or Windows Starter Edition

Linux General: ; Linux General; Linux or Windows Starter Edition. By Paul 4 comments. Windows "starter edition" is something I almost made the mistake of buying for nearly $100 because I wanted to install a legit version of windows on a new PC I bought and XP wasn't on the shelves of any of the stores I looked in.[1] Fortunately, I did some search to find out exactly what this "starter edition" is all about.[2] The goal seems to be an opportunity to help providing computing to those in less fortunate countries at an affordable price.[3] Of course comparing the price of windows starter edition to the wages many earn, "affordable" isn't part of the equation.[4] Linux on the other hand, fits the definition of "affordable" and since it may require a steeper learning curve will help those "less fortunate" countries develope a more capable popular.[5] I would also propose that for one that ...
