I youd've been rich, you would've payed those 23€.
Plus I don't get it. There a thousands of fonts in the world, maybe millions. Any popular priced font has an altenative free font. Just need time to find them.

Remember what cracker groups taught us: good things start free. then things get worse
use the 'thanks' button insteadOriginally Posted by Lucius
things start slow, then they develop and reach a peak (or series of peaks), fare well in their prime for a while and then start fading away or slowing down - in a way they behave like a human life: from childhood through adulthood and into elderhood, like a day: from dawn 'till sunset, its like stages of a cycle/circle, like a rough approximation of the first part of a sine wave, etc.Originally Posted by Master Razor
now try imagining what that other part(s) of the sine wave (below zero and the rest of it on the time axis) represent and how it compares to these other 'real life' examples...
Get a load of this
I had a failing 500GB WD drive that I sent to warranty. I said "slow spped, program freeze", they tested it the drive with HD Tune. Tests came out good.
The next day I picked the drive up, they showed me the proof that it was working, all well. I got home, tests were not good. I did 10 benchmarks in hdtune and 2 out of 10 were good, rest of them had massive speed spikes.
There was nothing to do as it was the last day of warranty and they, unfortunatelly tricked another customer, me !!
As such, yesterday I bought a new 1TB WD black drive. I had to, sadly.
so the WD company (employers) tricked you, but you still decided to 'give them a reward' by buying another one of their products?Originally Posted by Master Razor
what about their competition, not good enough?
A couple of months ago, I wanted to buy an external HDD as a present. After my fiasco with WDC's aggressive power saving feature, I didn't want to give them my money ever again, but I had to suck it up and do it anyway, because (at that time, at least) they were the only brand for which 2.5" external HDDs were available (given the economical crisis and other internal affairs, imports are pretty limited in Argentina, and in this case it showed). Thankfully, on the specific model I bought you only need to disable Idle3 to work around that design failure, which I was able to do with hdparm under Ubuntu.
Anyway, when alternatives do exist, the way to boycott a company is to simply buy products from another one instead. If you make another purchase in the future, remember HGST is now owned by Western Digital.
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
It wasn't the WD that tricked me. The warranty was solved at the place I've bought it (pcgarage.ro). If they were to do two tests, the failure would've been seen.so the WD company (employers) tricked you, but you still decided to 'give them a reward' by buying another one of their products?
The drives wasn't failing because of some misuse but because of age, 5 years to be exact.
I've bought a black edition drive because it was the best money could buy.what about their competition, not good enough?
I'm amazed on one thing though, these new drives are very light-weight (literrally), light as a feather compared to previos pre-2010 drives.

And I would've but I sent the drive Thrusday (17th) and I got it back on Fridasy (18th). Last day of warranbty was Sunday (20th).If I were you I would still go back and demand they give me new HDD.
Store is closed on weekends so there was no way to get it back.
I'm soo upset about this even today.
