How the portuguese thing works:
- You subscribe to a normal net package, say 5GB/month. With those 5GB you do whatever you want.
- If you want, you subscribe to one or more of those "+ Smart Net" packages, say the Messaging one. Now, on top of your 5GB, you have 10GB for the apps listed there...

Estimatives? :rolleyes:
Considering that Portal was offered free for two weeks I highly suspect those numbers. Probably also mis-calculating the promotions prices.
My guess is that they just multiplied an estimative of the number of games by the usual price.

Well, I intended to stay in this forum but after reading this, I will not bother.

Airbus branch, not EADS, was the one that had 53% of the market, it no longer has. A dominant position, in itself, although not desirable, isnt illegal. Only when it is abused.
You still havent showed examples of pricing discounts to leverage buyers into staying in the EADS family...

Because EADS is not in a dominat market position.
Boeing/Lockheed offer competitive products to the ones provided by AEDS.
Anyway, WTO organization is already looking into that market practices.

You are comparing net values with one contribution of two different kinds of organizations with different objectives.

I used for the first time the Zalman ZM-STG1 paste. It came with the cooler.

Oops! Guess that was a 1-followed-by-9-zeros billion.
Am curious, from where did you took the image?
Math is a universal language. Words are not.

As you may have guessed, am not an English native speaker and for me a billion is 1-followed-by-12-zeros.
Didnt know that. Any...
And the chart is for net givers and takers.
If you split Germanys value in West Germany and East Germany, the west would be a even greater net giver and the East would probably be a net taker.
Samething for Spain. Regions like Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona would be net givers and regions like...

I can bring you to life, then.
Outside of USA a Billion is a million millions. Its 1 followed by 12 zeros: 1,000,000,000,000.

You can read the US DoJ report, then: ;)

The problem found is not Microsoft servers operating systems. Its the inter-operability between other companies software and Microsofts servers operating systems.

The only way to force Microsoft to play fair is to increase the fines.
ECs decision is dated 2004, DoJs decision is dated 2001, and Microsoft continues to stall.

That part is not anti-competitive.
The part that is anti-competitive is once you have spent your cash on a song, bought from company A online store, you can only listen to it in the player of company A.
